The results showed that the profit factor of available energy increased with increasing heat flux under the same voltage given in experiments, while decreased with increasing voltage under the same heat flux given in experiments.It was found for the first time that the application of EHD enhancement of heat transfer was not economical when the voltage was higher than a critical value at a low heat flux. This method provided a theoretical basis for the economy of EHD heat transfer enhancement.展开更多

In the experiment,a DC high voltage electrode was set in the central tube-side of the heat exchanger,and the high voltage electrode in the tube-side was adjustable in the range of 0-40 kV. Five differ-ent combinations of heat transfer enhancement experiments were conducted under the different voltage and rate of flow. The results indicate that the maximal enhancement coefficient θ is 1.224 when the flow rate of tube-side inlet is 0.1 m3/h. It is proved that,for the work medium of water,the convective heat transfer can be enhanced by applying high electric field. The performance of EHD-enhanced is sensitive to the variation of flow rate,and in the same flow rate,there exist an optimized voltage in the EHD-enhanced process ra-ther than the monotonic positive-correlation relationship.展开更多
