The dynamic monitoring apparatus of fouling resistance was set up for the present experiments. The fouling behavio(s were examined under different factors including fluid velocity, hardness,alkalinity, solution temperature, and wall temperature. Asymptotic fouling curves varying with time were obtained. The fouling rate and asymptotic fouling resistance increased and the induction periods were shortened with the fluid velocity decreasing, hardness andalkalinity increasing, and solution temperature and heat transfer surface temperature increasing. Thecomponents of fouling that formed on the heat transfer surface included crystallization fouling and particulate fouling. The thermal performance parameter of fouling,ρfhf, varied from 380 to 2600 kg·W·(m^4·K)^-1, increasing with growing velocity and decreasing solution temperature, hardness or alkalinity. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of fouling, λf, varied from 1.7 to 2.2 W·(m·K)^-1 .展开更多

The in fluences of the 30° and 45° flow attack angles for wavy-ribs, blockage ratio, R B= b/H = 0.05–0.25 with single pitch ratio, R P= P/H = 1 are investigated for the Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of the square channel, Re = 3000–20000. The use of the wavy-ribs, which inserted diagonal in the square channel, is aimed to help to improve the thermal performance in heat exchange systems.The finite volume method and SIMPLE algorithm are applied to the present numerical simulation. The results are presented on the periodic flow and heat transfer pro files, flow con figurations, heat transfer characteristics and the performance evaluations. The mathematical results reveal that the use of wavy-ribs leads to a higher heat transfer rate and friction loss over the smooth channel. The heat transfer enhancements are around 1.97–5.14 and 2.04–5.27 times over the smooth channel for 30° and 45° attack angles, respectively. However, the corresponding friction loss values for 30° and 45° are around 4.26–86.55 and 5.03–97.98 times higher than the smooth square channel, respectively. The optimum thermal enhancement factor on both cases is found at R B= 0.10 and the lowest Reynolds number, Re = 3000, to be about 1.47 and 1.52, respectively, for 30° and 45° wavy-ribs.展开更多

The water flowed upward, covering the ranges of pressure of 23.4 MPa to 25.8 MPa, mass flux of 90 kg/m^2s to 3,281 kg/m^2s, local bulk temperature of 102-384 ℃, inner wall temperature of 167-669℃ and heat flux of up to 2.41 MW/m^2. The results exhibited severe deteriorated and enhancement heat transfer. The experimental results can be calculated by the Jackson's correlation and the Bishop's correlation mostly. But some data with strong effects of the buoyancy force and the variations of flow regimes can not be predicted properly.展开更多

The numerical results show that the effective heat transfer area of a circular fin increases several times faster than that of a straight fin for the same tube radius. Then, a simple but accurate heat transfer fin efficiency model was developed and verified by numerical results for a wide range of fin designs. This model predicts the heat transfer fin efficiency with absolute errors of less than 1%. The heat transfer and mass transfer fin efficiencies were found to be quite different for typical air flow with low relative humidity. Thus, these two fin efficiencies should not be assumed to be equal and a mass transfer fin efficiency model was developed, based on the heat transfer fin efficiency model. These heat transfer and mass transfer fin efficiencies are very useful for more accurate prediction for a wide range of practical applications.展开更多
