Heat Transfer Enhancement for Finned-Tube Heat Exchangers with Vortex Generators: Experimental and Numerical Results

Conference O'Brien, James Edward ; Sohal, Manohar Singh ; Huff, George Albert

A combined experimental and numerical investigation is under way to investigate heat transfer enhancement techniques that may be applicable to large-scale air-cooled condensers such as those used in geothermal power applications. The research is focused on whether air-side heat transfer can be improved through the use of finsurface vortex generators (winglets,) while maintaining low heat exchanger pressure drop. A transient heat transfer visualization and measurement technique has been employed in order to obtain detailed distributions of local heat transfer coefficients on model fin surfaces. Pressure drop measurements have also been acquired in a separate multiple-tube row apparatus. In addition, numericalmore »« less

Augmentation of heat transfer by longitudinal vortices in plate-fin heat exchangers with two rows of tubes

Conference Rodrigues, R Jr ; Yanagihara, J I

The thermal performance of fin-tube compact heat exchangers is highly affected by the thermal resistance occurring on the air side, which is much higher than the thermal resistance inside the tubes. Since this kind of heat exchanger is widely used in these days, with applications on air-conditioning, refrigeration, automobilistic industry and many other areas, the development of more efficient and cheaper heat exchangers is highly attractive, because it will permit the manufacturing of more competitive equipments. This work presents results of numerical simulations for fin-tube compact heat exchangers using smooth fins and longitudinal vortex generators. The computational model has twomore »« less
The combined effects of longitudinal heat conduction, flow nonuniformity and temperature nonuniformity in crossflow plate-fin heat exchangers

Journal Article Ranganayakulu, C ; Seetharamu, K N - International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer

An analysis of a crossflow plate-fin compact heat exchanger, accounting for the combined effects of two-dimensional longitudinal heat conduction through the exchanger wall and nonuniform inlet fluid flow and temperature distribution is carried out using a finite element method. A mathematical equation is developed to generate different types of fluid flow/temperature maldistribution models considering the possible deviations in fluid flow. Using these models, the exchanger effectiveness and its deterioration due to the combined effects of longitudinal heat conduction, flow nonuniformity and temperature nonuniformity are calculated for various design and operating conditions of the exchanger. It was found that the performancemore »« less

Conjugate heat transfer of a finned tube. Part B: Heat transfer augmentation and avoidance of heat transfer reversal by longitudinal vortex generators

Journal Article Fiebig, M ; Chen, Y ; Grosse-Gorgemann, A ; ... - Numerical Heat Transfer. Part A, Applications

Numerical investigations of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer in a finned tube with punched longitudinal vortex generators (LVG`s) are carried out for Reynolds number of 250 and 300. Air with a Prandtl number of 0.7 is used as the fluid. The flow is both thermally and hydrodynamically developing. The LVG is a delta winglet pair (DWP) punched out of the fin and is located directly behind the tube, symmetrically separated by one tube diameter. The DWP generates longitudinal vortices in the wake of the tube, defers flow separation on the tube, deflects the main stream into the tube wake, andmore »« less
