Calculation of Friction Factors and Nusselt Numbers for Twisted Elliptical Tube Heat Exchangers Using Nek5000

Journal Article Shaver, Dillon R. ; Carasik, Lane B. ; Merzari, Elia ; ... - Journal of Fluids Engineering

Twisted elliptical tube geometries for heat exchanger design are expected to offer significant enhancement in heat transfer with a marginal increase in frictional losses. The presented work focuses on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of heated molten salt flows through twisted elliptical tube geometries at low modified Froude numbers. In this work, the objectives are to evaluate the available correlations at low Froude numbers and to determine the impact of using a small gap to resolve contact points. The spectral element CFD code Nek5000 was used for all simulations, which were performed in periodic domains of triangular and square unitmore »« less

Thermal-hydraulic performance of a high-temperature zigzag-channel printed circuit heat exchanger - 18563

Conference Chen, Minghui ; Sun, Xiaodong ; O Brien, James E. ; ...

Advanced nuclear reactors, such as high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) from the Generation IV nuclear systems, are designed with the capability of delivering high-pressure, high-temperature helium to power conversion units for electricity generation and industrial plants for process heat applications. The efficiency of the electricity generation and process heat applications of HTGRs is critically dependent upon an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX), which is a key component in transferring thermal energy from the primary coolant to a secondary coolant. Printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) are promising to be employed in HTGR designs due to their capability for high-temperature, high-pressure applications and compactness.more »« less

Experimental studies on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of laminar flow through a circular tube fitted with regularly spaced helical screw-tape inserts

Journal Article Sivashanmugam, P ; Suresh, S - Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science

Experimental investigation of heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of circular tube fitted with full-length helical screw element of different twist ratio, and helical screw inserts with spacer length 100, 200, 300 and 400mm have been studied with uniform heat flux under laminar flow condition. The experimental data obtained are verified with those obtained from plain tube published data. The effect of spacer length on heat transfer augmentation and friction factor, and the effect of twist ratio on heat transfer augmentation and friction factor have been presented separately. The decrease in Nusselt number for the helical twist with spacer lengthmore »« less
