Abstract
A supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) to aviation kerosene fuel heat exchanger is an important part of the power and thermal management system (PTMS) of hypersonic vehicles. This study developed a numerical model for a sCO2-fuel airfoil-fin printed circuit heat exchanger (AF-PCHE) used in the PTMS. Moreover, four parameters were optimized with the comprehensive performance coefficient (JF) as an optimization objective, including airfoil horizontal spacing (Lh), airfoil vertical spacing (Lv), the height of cold-side channel (Hc,rp3), and the height of hot-side channel (Hc,CO2). The results indicated that the most significant parameter affecting the JF was the Hc,CO2, followed by the Hc,rp3. The optimized structural parameters were Lh = 12.6 mm, Lv = 5.26 mm, Hc,rp3 = 1.05 mm, and Hc,CO2 = 1.36 mm. The significance order of the single-factor effects of the JF was Hc,CO2 > Lv > Hc,rp3 > Lh. The JF of the optimized design was increased by 24 % compared to the original design of the AF-PCHE.
期刊介绍:
Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
