Optimal Shape Selection of Heat Exchangers Surfaces during Convective Heat Transfer

Abstract:

The article contains the results of a research in constructing of modern heat exchangers form of heat exchanging surfaces and modes of heat media flux, providing minimum area (size) of heat exchanging apparatus. Decreasing of heat-transferring area is achieved by using different techniques of intensification of convective heat exchange. Intensification of the heat exchange is accompanied by increasing of energy consumption for pumping the coolant. It is concluded that under the conditions of turbulent flow, the transport mechanism does not strongly depend on the shape of the perturbations introduced into the flow, while the tendency to approach the dependences is common to the curves for the considered surfaces, and the experimental data obtained on pipes with a periodic section of the flow cross-section along the length. Using surfaces creating channels with a greater coefficient of hydraulic resistance when creating a compact heat exchangers, which corresponds to surfaces for which the principle of trans-verse flow is realized.
