摘要
The SST k-ω turbulence model was used to numerically simulate the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical pressure CO2(S- CO2)in constant-section circular tube,horizontal diverging tube and diverging tubes with different inclination angles under cooling conditions. The computational results indicate that compared with that of the uniform cross-section tube,the total heat transfer coefficient of the horizontal diverging tube and the 30° inclined diverging tube are increased by 32.33% and 33.12% respectively under same heat transfer area,and the pressure drop are decreased by 53.87% and 9.86%,respectively. Using comprehensive Performance Evaluation Criteria(PEC),it is found that the comprehensive performance of the horizontal diverging tube is the best. Based on the assumption that S-CO2 has“phase- transition-like”at pseudo-critical temperature Tpc ,the distribution of the liquid-like film along the length of the tube is obtained,and it is found that at the same section,the thickness of the liquid-like film of the 30° diverging tube is the smallest,the liquid- like film thickness of the constant- section circular tube is the biggest. The mechanism of heat transfer enhancement is explained from the point of view of supercritical two-phase-like. © 2023 Science Press. All rights reserved.
