Uniform Wall

The objective of this paper is to study the characteristic of a circular tube with a built-in arc belt on fluid flow and heat transfer in uniform wall temperature flows. Numerical simulations for hydrodynamically laminar flow was direct ran at Re between 600 and 1800. Preliminary results on velocity and temperature statistics for uniform wall temperature show that, arc belt can swirl the pipe fluid, so that the fluid at the center of the tube and the fluid of the boundary layer of the wall can mix fully, and plays the role of enhanced heat transfer, but also significantly increases the resistance of the fluid and makes the resistance coefficient of the enhanced tube greater than smooth tube. The combination property PEC is all above 1.5.

Internal Heat Transfer

Gas turbine cooling system design is constrained by a maximum allowable wall temperature (dictated by the material, the life requirements of the component, and a given stress distribution), the desire to minimize coolant mass flow rate (requirement to minimize cycle-efficiency cost), and the requirement to achieve as close to uniform wall temperature as possible (to reduce thermal gradients, and stress). These three design requirements form the basis of an iterative design process. The relationship between the requirements has received little discussion in the literature, despite being of interest from both a theoretical and a practical viewpoint. In Part I, we show analytically that the coolant mass flow rate is minimized when the wall temperature is uniform and equal to the maximum allowable wall temperature. In this paper, we show that designs optimized for uniform wall temperature have a corresponding optimum internal heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution. In this paper, analytical expressions for the optimum internal HTC distribution are derived for a number of cooling systems, with and without thermal barrier coating (TBC). Most cooling systems can be modeled as a combination of these representative systems. The optimum internal HTC distribution is evaluated for a number of engine-realistic systems: long plate systems (e.g., combustors, afterburners), the suction-side (SS) of a high pressure nozzle guide vane (HPNGV), and a radial serpentine cooling passage. For some systems, a uniform wall temperature is unachievable; the coolant penalty associated with this temperature nonuniformity is estimated. A framework for predicting the optimum internal HTC for systems with any distribution of external HTC, wall properties, and film effectiveness is outlined.

These three design requirements form the basis of an iterative design process. The relationship between the requirements has received little discussion in the literature, despite being of interest from both a theoretical and a practical viewpoint. In the companion paper, we show analytically that the coolant mass flow rate is minimised when the wall temperature is uniform and equal to the maximum allowable wall temperature. In this paper, we show that designs optimised for uniform wall temperature have a corresponding optimum internal heat transfer coefficient (HTC) distribution. In this paper, analytical expressions for the optimum internal HTC distribution are derived for a number of cooling systems, with and without thermal barrier coating.
