Numerical Simulation of the Liquid Flowing and Heat-Transfer outside the Tube of the Horizontal-Tube Falling Film Evaporator

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly studies the falling film evaporator in the field of water desalination. Using the method of fluent simulates the process of the liquid flowing and heat-transfer on the horizontal-tube falling film evaporation. The author analyses the distribution of the liquid film, and obtain the rule that spray density, evaporation temperature, temperature difference and pipe diameter affect the performance of heat-transfer in a certain range. So the paper plays a guiding role in heat transfer enhancement in the falling film evaporator.
