Numerical Analysis to Study the Flow Pattern inside a Fin-Tube Heat Exchanger Navigation of a Mobile Robot

Abstract:

A computational fluid dynamic approach has been utilized to optimize the fin shape inside a circular tube having different shape of fins attached internal circumference of the tube. Total three type shape (rectangular shape, T-Shape, triangular shape) of fins is utilized for this numerical analysis. The tube length is taken 5m and dimeter of 0.07m. For all case volume of fins remains constant factor with Reynolds number 1200 and constant wall heat flux of 200 W/m2. For this analysis a commercial package FLUENT is used. The present paper shows how the fluid temperature, pressure and velocity changes in axial direction for changing the fin shape. Result shows that for triangular fin shape there optimum heat transfer between other configuration of fin.
