Numerical and experimental investigations of a twisted copper heat exchanger with triply periodic minimal surfaces
The heat exchanger (HE) is one of the key components of the thermal management system, ensuring the safe and effective operation of other equipment. With the advancement of additive manufacturing, Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) heat exchangers have recently emerged due to their excellent thermal properties. However, current studies on the TPMS heat exchangers are still mostly limited to ordinary regular lattice structures. In this paper, heat exchangers with twisted TPMS structures are proposed and compared. The simulation results indicate that the temperature distribution in each HE presents an eccentric distribution. The distribution intensity of eccentric flows changes along with the variation of twisted angle. The eccentric flow of D_0PI HE is mainly concentrated on both sides, while the eccentric flow of D_1PI and D_2PI HEs is concentrated in the center. The experimental results show the D_2PI HE has the highest effectiveness, lowest thermal resistance, but largest pressure drop. In terms of Colburn factor and performance evaluation criterion , D_1PI outperforms the other two HEs. This work aims to provide useful guidance for the design of the next-generation TPMS heat exchangers with geometry transformation freedom.
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.
