Simulation Study of Strengthening Heat Transfer of Heat Exchanger with Notched Turbolator

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper establishes a model of turbolator with arc notches at its edges to simulation the heat transfer and flowing characteristics of hetat exchanger. Results show that notched turbolator apparently enhanced the heat transfer and changes form of flowing inside tube apparently.
