  • Mathematical modeling of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in plate-fin heat exchangers with corrugated fins

    A numerical study of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in plate heat exchangers with corrugated fins was carried out. The effect of corrugation pitch on heat flow and pressure drop was studied. The study was carried out using computational fluid dynamics in the ANSYS software package (v. 19.2). The results of the study showed that increasing the corrugation pitch from n = 5 to n = 9 leads to an increase in heat flow of 10.83% and a pressure drop of 28.30%.

  • Numerical study of the influence of profile height on the characteristics of a heat exchanger with corrugated fins

    Using numerical modeling, a study of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in plate heat exchangers with corrugated fins was carried out, while the height of the corrugation profile varied from 2 to 4 mm. The influence of profile height on heat flow and pressure drop was studied. It was revealed that an increase in the profile height leads to an increase in heat flow up to 34.05% and pressure drop up to 54.54%.

  • The mathematical modeling of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in plate-fin radiators with round fillets profile

    A numerical simulation was used to investigate heat transfer in plate-fin radiators with round fillet profiles of various depths, including 0.55 mm, 1.1 mm, and 1.5 mm. The issue of flowing air around a radiator with a mass flow rate of 10-3 to 4·10-3 кг/с and a temperature of 293 K was solved. The radiator was heated using a heater, whose temperature was set from 323 to 353 K. Changes in heat flow, pressure drop, and energy efficiency indicator were shown depending on the air mass flow, according to the calculation results. The research findings indicate that the radiator featuring round fillet profiles and a depth of 1.65 mm exhibits the highest heat flow and energy efficiency indicators, as well as the lowest pressure drop.

  • Calculation of sediment formation in a porous heat exchanger and assessment of the influence of sediment on heat flow

    Using numerical simulation, particle deposition in a porous heat exchanger was studied; the mechanism of sediment formation was sinvestigated, and the influence of sediment on the heat flow was assessed. The influence of porous heat exchanger length, dust particle size, and air flow velocity on particle deposition efficiency, particle breakthrough, and heat flux value was studied. Research results have shown that with increasing length of the heat exchanger, the efficiency of dust particle deposition increases, which leads to the formation of sediment. In turn, the sediment reduces the value of the heat flow from the porous heat exchanger. Depending on the length of the heat exchanger and air velocity, the reduction in heat flow is 3.43-7.27%.

  • Mathematical modeling of heat transfer and hydrodynamics in models of ceramic honeycomb heat exchangers

    Using numerical modeling, we performed studies of the influence of the angle of inclination of the plates of the regenerative heat exchanger element on the heating time and pressure drop. The studies were conducted for models of heat exchange elements with lengths of 6 and 20 mm. Depending on the length of the element, the angle of inclination of the plates was: 10°, 20°, 30°, 40° (at L=6 mm) and 3°, 6°, 9°, 12° (at L=20 mm). At the boundary of the calculation area, the air flow velocity and temperature were established, namely 1 and 3 m/s, and 303 and 973 K. The research results demonstrated that increasing the angle of inclination of the plates helped reduce the heating time of the regenerator by 38.56-49.1%, depending on the length of the heat exchange element, the speed and temperature of the air flow.

  • The mathematical modeling of the process of dust particle deposition on the surface of porous heat exchangers

    Using numerical simulation, we carried out studies on the effect of the length of a porous heat exchanger on the deposition of dust particles. The heat exchanger models with lengths of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm were the subject of the studies. At the boundaries of the computational domain, we set the air velocity at 0.1, 1, and 5 m/s and the diameter of dust particles from 10-7 to 10-4 m. Research results have shown that with increasing length of the porous heat exchanger, the efficiency of dust particle deposition increases. This can lead to a decrease in the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of the heat exchanger.
