Enhancement of heat transfer using elliptical twisted inner pipe with convergent conical ring turbulator for turbulent flow in double pipe heat exchanger
This study focuses on evaluating the impact of a fully twisted inner pipe along with conical rings turbulator by conducting a numerical analysis of the double-pipe heat exchanger (DPHE), considering both parallel and counterflow configurations for heat transfer. As modification, a straight elliptical pipe compared with two other pipes with three twists and full twists along their lengths is also investigated to compute the heat transfer rate, pressure drop, and turbulence characteristics. Modelling has been performed using ANSYS Fluent, considering the RNG k-ε turbulence model. The regime of turbulent flow is studied within the range of Reynolds numbers from 5,000 to 26,000. Validation has been conducted comparing with the experimental studies, and reasonable agreement has been observed. The full twists effect generates a swirling motion, and conical rings are inserted inside the outer pipe as a passive turbulator to guide the flow towards the inner pipe, where the hot fluid passes. Comparing the results, the inner twisted pipe with the conical ring exhibits a significant improvement in the Nusselt number (), reaching 445 in the counterflow direction with the six rings. The evaluation of entropy generation is described as a function of frictional and thermal contributions. According to the findings, turbulators slightly increase entropy development. Analysis of total entropy generation shows that, because of the high viscosity, frictional entropy generation is dominant. Also, when the vortex flow becomes stronger, the total entropy creation rate decreases down. The Performance Evaluation Criteria (PEC) is also greater than 1 for both parallel and counterflow flow, indicating that enhancement of the rate of heat transfer, outweighs the decrease in pressure drop. Particularly in counterflow directions the PEC is 2.3 which is impressive. Overall, full twists along the pipe lengths enhance the heat exchanger's performance, and full twists with six conical rings fortify most in both flow directions.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
