Abstract

In this study, the characteristics of the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop were numerically analyzed according to the axis ratio (AR), pitch, location of vortex generator, and bump phase of the tube surface about an elliptical fin-tube heat exchanger. The boundary condition for CFD analysis was decided as a tube surface temperature of 348 K and inlet air velocity of 1-5 m/s. RSM 7th turbulent model was chosen as the numerical analysis for the sensitivity level. The analysis results indicated that the AR and transverse pitch decreased whereas the heat transfer coefficient increased. On the other hand, there was little difference in the longitudinal pitch. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate was more favorable when the vortex generator was located in front of the tube. Also, the bump phase of the tube surface indicated that the pressure drop and heat transfer were more favorable with the circle type than with the serrated type.

본 연구는 타원형 핀-튜브 열교환기에 대해 AR, 피치, 와류발생기의 위치, 튜브 표면의 돌기형상에 따른 열전달계수 및 압력강하 특성을 수치해석으로 분석하였다. CFD해석시 경계조건으로는 튜브표면의 온도는 348 K이고, 입구공기속도는 1~5 m/s 범위로 가정하였고, 수치해석시 사용된 모델로는 민감도를 고려하여 RSM 7차 난류모델을 하였다. 해석결과로는 AR 및 세로피치가 작을수록 열전달률이 향상되는 것으로 나타났으며 가로피치에 대한 영향은 근소한 차이를 나타냈으며, 와류발생기의 설치는 튜브 전방에 위치할수록 열전달특성상 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 튜브표면의 돌기형상은 톱니형보다 원형이 압력강하나 열전달특성이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.
