The effect of inclined ribbed tubes on heat transfer and friction loss

Ribbed 管의 管傾斜角이 熱傳達에 미치는 影響

Artificial roughness as a means of improving heat transfer gains more interest, especially for application to various heat exchanger. This study present experimental information for single-phase free and force convection heat transfer in a circular tube containing a internal spiral ribs. To examine the effect of inclined angle of tube, it was varied from 0 deg to 90 deg (0.deg., 22.5.deg., 45.deg., 90.deg.) with horizontal. Length of tube is 1.6m, and width, height and helix angle of rib are 4.2mm, 1.5mm, and 60 deg respectively. Water was used as a working fluid and test piece was heated with a constant heat flux by electric heater. Experiments have been performed with the range of modified Grashof number from 2 * 10$^{6}$ to 15 * 10$^{6}$ for free convection and with the range of Reynolds number from 3,000 to 40,000 for forced convection. Since the increase in heat transfer coefficients influence directly to the friction coefficient of the tube, the changes of the friction factors are also presented for several different cases considered in this investigation.

본 연구는 열교환기의 설치 및 사용목적에 따라 전열관내유동이 경사류가 될 때 특히 자연순환(2*$10^{6}$＜Gr＜15*$10^{6}$)의 경우와 강제순환(3,000＜Re＜ 40,000)의 경우에 대해서 열전달특성과 유동마찰에 의한 손질을 규명하는데 있다. 사용되는 관은 평골관과 ribbed관이며 관경사각을 수평면에 대하여 0˚,22.5˚,45˚, 90˚로 변화시켰다.
