水平螺旋管内超临界CO2冷却换热的数值模拟

采用RNG k-ε 湍流模型对超临界CO₂流体在内径为4 mm, 长度2000 mm, 节距为10 mm, 曲率为0.1的水平螺旋管内的冷却换热进行了数值模拟.研究了质量流量、热流量以及压力对换热系数的影响, 并和超临界CO₂在水平直管内的冷却换热进行了对比.研究结果表明, 超临界CO₂在水平螺旋管内流动产生的二次流强于水平直管内的二次流, 前者的换热系数大于后者; 换热系数随质量流量的增加而增大; 在似气体区, 换热系数随着热流量的增加而增大, 而在似液体区, 热流量对换热系数几乎没有影响; 换热系数峰值点随着压力的升高而下降, 并向高温区偏移.

Numerical study of cooling heat transfer of supercritical carbon dioxide in a horizontal helically coiled tube

In the present study, cooling heat transfer of supercritical CO₂ in a horizontal helically coiled-tube 4 mm in diameter, 2000 mm in length, a pitch of 10 mm and 0.1 in curvature is numerically investigated with RNG turbulence model. Influences of mass flow rate, heat flux and pressure on heat transfer of supercritical CO₂ are studied. The characteristics of the flow and heat transfer are compared with those in a horizontal straight tube. Results show that the secondary flow and heat transfer coefficient in a helically coiled tube is obviously larger than in a horizontal straight tube. The heat transfer coefficient of supercritical CO₂ increases with increasing mass flow rate, and the heat transfer coefficient increases slightly as the heat flux increases in the gas-like region, while the heat transfer coefficient is unaffected by heat flux in the liquid-like region. The peak of the heat transfer coefficient decreases and shifts to a higher temperature region as the pressure increases.
