Abstract
In the application of natural gas industry, the flexible adjustment of load needs the support of peak regulation vaporization equipment. The vaporizer presented in this paper can be widely used in areas not yet connected to the natural gas pipeline network, and can undertake emergency gas supply tasks for different demand levels. Since this vaporizer uses natural gas combustion as a heat source, there is an urgent need to improve the efficiency of heat utilization. Machining some holes in the flow guiding device is an effective way to increase the efficiency of heat utilization. Therefore, in this study, the heat and mass transfer model of gas-liquid jet entrainment droplet is established and the coupled thermal flow field with different opening rate (0 %, 20 %, 25 %, 30 %) porous flow guiding device is analyzed. Unlike the previous studies that only considered convective heat transfer, the radiative heat transfer factor is also considered in this study. Numerical results show that the proportion of radiative heat transfer can reach 16.9 % under the non-opening condition, indicating that the radiation effect is essential. The proportion of total heat transfer and radiant heat transfer can be increased by using the porous flow guiding device. Compared with non-opening condition, the total heat transfer increases by 19.03 % in the case of 25 % opening rate, and the proportion of radiation heat transfer increases by 14.72 %.
期刊介绍:
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
