In the background art, for working conditions of low Reynolds number in the heat exchange tube, strengthening elements such as a replacement device or a torsion strap are often adopted in industry to reduce critical Reynolds number of turbulence in the tube, promote the flow state in the tube to reach turbulence in advance, and improve the mixing capacity and heat transfer rate in the tube. However, in many cases, the mixing uniformity of the flow field in the pipe is insufficient, the strength of the vortex is low, the friction resistance or the shape resistance is large, the lifting amplitude of the heat transfer rate in the pipe is limited, and the comprehensive heat transfer performance is poor under the power consumption. Based on this, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail:
a turbulence element for reducing turbulence critical Reynolds number comprises a plurality of rib plates and two mutually parallel support rods for fixing the rib plates, wherein, as shown in figure 1, two ends of the rib plates are respectively fixed on the two support rods, round holes are arranged on the rib plates, the rib plates are distributed along the length direction (namely the fluid flow direction) of the support rods, and generally, the rib plates can be arranged in parallel (as shown in figure 2) or in cross (as shown in figure 5). The range of the height H of the rib plate is as follows: h=3 to 20mm, and the length L of the rib plate has the following range: l=10-40 mm, and the corresponding value range of the diameter D of the round hole is as follows: d=2 to 15mm, the inclination angle a=15 to 75 degrees between the longitudinal direction of the rib plate and the longitudinal direction of the supporting rod, and the value range of the distance P between two adjacent rib plates is as follows: p=10 to 40mm. In addition, the value range of the diameter d of the supporting rod is as follows: d=2-5 mm, and the crossing angle between the adjacent rib plates is 15-75 degrees. After the rib plate and the supporting rod are integrally fixed and formed, the rib plate and the supporting rod rotate according to the spiral rate Y to obtain a spiral turbulence element, wherein the spiral rate Y has the following value range: y=2 to 8, the definition of the helix ratio is: the ratio of the length S of the support rod after being screwed 360 DEG to the width B of the screw rod (as shown in figures 5 and 6).
The following describes the present application further by way of example with reference to the above-described embodiment, wherein each embodiment is required to be combined with the above-described structure, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto, and all simple modifications or changes to the essence of the present application are included in the scope of the technical solution of the present application. In addition, to evaluate the performance of the various embodiments, the overall heat transfer performance was defined as:
PEC=(Nu/Nu 0 )/(f/f 0 ) (1/3) ;
wherein PEC represents comprehensive heat transfer performance, i.e. performance evaluation criteria (performance evaluation criterion, PEC), nu 0 And Nu represents the dimensionless heat transfer rate (i.e., nuceous number) of the light pipe and the enhanced pipe, respectively, f 0 And f represents the dimensionless pressure drop of the light pipe and the reinforcing pipe, namely the friction factor, respectively, and if PEC is more than 1 under the same power consumption, the comprehensive heat transfer performance is improved relative to the light pipe, otherwise, the comprehensive heat transfer performance is not improved.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the rib plate has a height h=4mm, a length l=19 mm, a plate thickness t=4mm, each rib plate is arranged in parallel on the support rod, 3 round holes are formed in the rib plate in a dispersed manner, the diameter D of each round hole is=2mm, the distance a1=3.5 mm between the round holes, the distance a2=3 mm between the support rod and the round holes, the inclination angle a=60°, the pitch p=20mm, the diameter D of the support rod is=2mm, and the torsion ratio Y of the spiral rib plate is=4.
The application method comprises the following steps:
the rib plate is fixed on the supporting rod, and the supporting rod with the rib plate fixed thereon is screwed according to the screw rate Y, so that the multicycle spiral turbulence element is formed (as shown in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6). The turbulence element is arranged in the turbulence pipe and fixed by spot welding, so that the assembly and disassembly are convenient. In use, fluid enters from one end of the turbulent flow pipe, longitudinal vortex along the flowing direction of the fluid is generated under the induction of the turbulent flow element, the vortex scours the pipe wall, the high-temperature fluid and the low-temperature fluid are driven to be mixed, the included angle between the velocity vector in the pipe and the temperature gradient vector is reduced, the volume weighted average cooperative angle is lower than the included angle between the velocity vector in the pipe and the temperature gradient vector, which is close to 90 degrees, the cooperation of the temperature field and the velocity field is improved, and compared with the light pipe, the replacement strength of the fluid in the pipe is greatly improved, and the boundary layer is thinned. Due to the periodicity of the spiral structure of the turbulence element, longitudinal vortex is repeatedly formed, is not easy to attenuate, and forms cooperative relay in the middle of each pitch with lower resistance, so that better heat transfer rate is obtained. Under common working conditions, compared with the traditional smooth pipe, the critical Reynolds number is lower than 1000, the heat transfer rate is improved by more than 100%, and the comprehensive heat transfer performance PEC can reach more than 2 under the same power consumption.
Example 2
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the difference between the rib plate layout on the support bar and the rib plate layout on the support bar in this embodiment is that the intersection angle of two adjacent rib plates along the flow direction is 60 °, and the two rib plates are oppositely arranged to be bilateral symmetry, and after the support bar drives the rib plate to spiral, the structure diagram is shown in fig. 9, and other structures are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the application method is the same as that of embodiment 1.
Example 3
As shown in fig. 10, 11 and 12, the plate height h=6 mm, the length l=25 mm, the plate thickness t=6 mm of the rib plates are parallel to each other, 3 round holes are formed in the rib plates, the diameter d=3 mm of each round hole, the distance a1=3.5 mm between the adjacent round holes, the distance a2=3 mm between the support rods and the round holes, the inclination angle a=45°, the pitch p=20 mm, the diameter d=2 mm of the support rods and the torsion ratio y=4 of the spiral rib plates. Under common working conditions, compared with the traditional smooth pipe, the critical Reynolds number is lower than 1000, the heat transfer rate is improved by more than 150%, the comprehensive heat transfer performance reaches more than 2.5 under the same power consumption, and the application method is the same as that of the embodiment 1.
The vortex element provided by the application utilizes the inclination angle of the arc-shaped rib plate and the fluid flowing direction, longitudinal vortex is induced in the flow field, the rib plate is screwed according to a certain screw rate under the fixation of the supporting rod, the strength and the influence area of the longitudinal vortex are further improved under the double functions of the inclination angle and the screw, the fluid displacement capability is greatly improved in the main flow core area and the wall area, the fluid particle collision is enhanced, the uniformity degree of the flow field and the temperature field is improved, and the heat flux of the pipe wall is improved. Of course, the turbulence element is applicable not only to circular channels, but also to rectangular channels. Because the turbulence critical reynolds number can be reduced, and higher turbulence can be obtained at a smaller flow rate, the turbulence element is suitable for low-reynolds number flow of high-viscosity fluid and low-reynolds number flow of low-viscosity fluid. The resistance is actively regulated and controlled by arranging the plurality of rib plates in the flowing direction and forming holes in the rib plates, so that under the condition of low Reynolds number, the high heat transfer rate is ensured, and smaller fluid power consumption is also achieved, and the low-resistance high-efficiency enhanced comprehensive heat transfer performance can be obtained as a whole.
