Structural Optimization Design for Metal Honeycomb Used in Continuous Waste Heat Recovery

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metal honeycomb is a kind of new plug-in unit for enhancing heat transfer, which is easy to adjust its specific surface area, excellent in heat conduction and flexible in geometrical transformation. The structures of honeycomb are optimized by FLUENT and orthogonal experiments. It is concluded that the heat exchange capability of honeycomb is most affected by the relative size representing screw pitch or screw diameter to metal wire diameter, less by the diameter of metal wire, and least by extensional rate under continuous heat recovery process. Moreover, it is found that the honeycomb has the best performance in heat transfer with metal wire diameter of 1.0 mm, relative size 8(corresponding to screw pitch and screw diameter 8.0mm) and extensional rate 0.7.
