Numerical simulation study on heat transfer characteristics of new heat exchange fins封面论文
The molten-salt heat exchanger is an important part of thorium molten salt reactor with liquid fuel (TMSR-LF1) integrated simulation platform
and its thermohydraulic performace is critical to the safety in operation. Furthermore
there are many problems in traditional shell and tube heat exchangers. It is very important to develop new heat exchanger.
Purpose
2
This study aims to redesign heat exchange fins to improve the compactness and thermohydraulic performance of molten salt heat exchanger by numerical simulation.
Methods
2
Simulation software FLUENT was employed to design and improve different fin types
and the numerical results of each type were compared and analyzed from three aspects:pressure drop
heat transfer coefficient and comprehensive performance index. The numerical simulation under the condition of water is carried out
and the results are compared with those of molten salt.
Results
2
Compared with the traditional rectangular fins
the heat transfer coefficient of streamline fin in molten salt is increased from 3.6% to 6.7%
the comprehensive performance index is increased by 2% on average
the overall compactness is enhanced
and the heat transfer capacity is greatly improved at high velocity. The improved streamline fin has a minimum pressure drop of 6.2% and 12% lower than that of the rectangular fin and the streamline fin
respectively. The comprehensive performance index of each fin was greatly improved under the water condition
but the streamline fin was no longer superior to the traditional rectangular fin in the water phase.
Conclusion
2
It reflects the unique applicability of streamline fin type in molten salt medium.
