The Numerical Simulation Research on Heat Transfer Enhancement of the Interpolation-Tubular Air Pre-Heater with Semi-Elliptic Cylinder Shell Vortex Generator
The semi-elliptic cylinder shell vortex generator set in the interpolation-tubular air pre-heater was studied. And by changing the high-width Ratiov, dip angleα, attack angleβ, spacingsof vortex generator to research the heat transfer and resistance properties under different working conditions, and the optimization structure of vortex generator was determined. The heating medium of the air pre-heater is the flue gas that passes across tube outside, and the cooling air as the cooling medium in the tube longitudinal scoured. The Reynolds number range is 25000 ~ 40000. The research shows that: semi-elliptic cylinder vortex generator can obviously improve the heat transfer performance, the optimization structure of the semi-elliptic cylinder vortex generator: high-width ratiov= 0.45, attack angleβ= 65 °, dip angleα= 15 °, spans= 90 mm, the heat transfer enhancement comprehensive effect raised about 43.2%~72.6%.
