Numerical Analysis of Turbulent Flow and Heat Transfer Normal to a Staggered Tube Bank
교차된 관군에 수직한 난류유동 및 난류열전달의 수치해석
Abstract
Since heat exchangers are composed of bank of tubes, the knowledge on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the tube bank are required for the optimum design and selection of heat exchangers. In this paper, the turbulent flow fields and heat transfers normal to a staggered tube bank are solved numerically employing K-.epsilon. 2 equation turbulence model and non-orthogonal coordinate transformation for the treatment of curved surface of tubes. Predicted mean Nusselt numbers of tube bank agree reasonably well with Grimision's correlation
