摘要:
翅片管换热器被广泛应用于低气压条件下的高空飞行器舱内环境温度控制。为了研究低气压下翅片管换热器空气侧对流换热特性,以波纹-翼型涡发生器翅片管换热器为研究对象,在环境压力为5~101 kPa,入口空气流速为0.5~6 m/s的工况下,对低气压下翅片管换热器空气侧换热特性进行了数值模拟研究。研究结果表明:随着环境压力的降低,空气侧表面传热系数和压降损失均显著降低,在环境压力为25 kPa时,空气侧表面传热系数与常压下相比降低了69.9%~75.6%。提出了波纹-翼型涡发生器翅片管换热器空气侧传热因子
j 和摩擦因子f 的预测模型,模型计算结果与模拟结果吻合度较高,平均绝对误差为4.75%和3.57%,研究可为低气压环境下翅片管式换热器的设计提供参考。Abstract:Fin-and-tube heat exchangers are widely used in cabin ambient temperature control of aircraft under low-pressure conditions. In order to study the air-side heat transfer characteristics of fin-and-tube heat exchangers under low-pressure conditions, the air-side flow heat transfer characteristics of the fin-tubed heat exchangers under low pressure were studied numerically in ambient pressure of 5—101 kPa and inlet air velocity of 0.5—6 m/s. The research results showed that with the decrease of ambient pressure, the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop on the air-side decreased significantly. When the air pressure was 25 kPa, the convective heat transfer coefficient on the air side decreased by 69.9%—75.6% compared with that under normal pressure. Predictive models for the air-side heat transfer factor
j and friction factorf of the wavy fin-and-tube heat exchanger with winglet type vortex generator were proposed. The calculation results were in good agreement with the simulation results, with mean absolute errors of 4.75% and 3.57%, respectively. This study can provide a reference for the design of fin-and-tube heat exchanger working in low pressure environment. -
