Numerical Study on the Flow and Heat Transfer for the inside of the Cylinder Type Natural Gas Heater

Article Preview

Abstract:

The cylinder type natural gas heater is an indispensable piece of equipment in gas production, transmission, and application systems. According to the distinctive structure of the cylinder natural gas heater, the natural convection heat transfer model of both heating surface and cooling surface in the cylinder was built, the temperature and velocity field of the natural convection of the heat-transfer medium--ethylene glycol were numerically simulated. The simulation results show that the symmetrical arrangement of heating and cooling surfaces is not conducive to the formation of an effective heat flow field. Therefore, effective optimizing the layout of the heating and cooling surfaces is obviously a problem that must be solved, to help the heat-transfer medium form a well-organized flow and enhance the heat transfer.
