Abstract
In order to improve the comprehensive heat transfer performance of the PCHE, this paper took the swiftlet-type fin as the research object, the influence of different structural parameters on its flow and heat transfer of the fin was studied, and the influence rules of different structural parameters on comprehensive heat transfer performance were obtained. The swiftlet-type fin was optimized by response surface method under two working conditions of Re lower and higher than 15000, respectively, the optimal combination of structural parameters were obtained, and the PEC is improved by 22.09%. The optimal structure of Swiftlet-type fin was applied to the pseudocritical region, the variation law of surface heat transfer coefficient of SCO2 increases first and then decreases along the flow direction near the pseudocritical point was obtained. A non-uniform arrangement method of fins was proposed by matching the cross distance at the tail of the fins with the magnitude of the local surface heat transfer coefficient of the flow channel.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
