Turbulent Heat Transfer Characteristics of Liquid Sodium Flow in An Annular Tube
-
摘要: 采用高雷诺数(Re)k-ε模型与壁面函数法对液态金属钠在环管中湍流流动传热特性进行计算,并与实验结果进行比较,结果表明计算值与实验结果符合较好。应用该方法研究湍流程度、加热条件、几何条件等因素对液态金属钠在环管中湍流传热特性的影响。研究表明,湍流程度对传热的影响主要集中在流道前半段,后半段分子扩散对传热的影响逐渐凸现出来,使不同湍流程度下传热特性的区别逐渐缩小;初始温度与加热热流密度对传热特性无明显影响;环管间隙增大,湍流传热效果增强,同等间隙时管径变化对传热特性无明显影响。Abstract: The high Re number k-ε model and boundary condition of wall function method were applied to compute the turbulent heat transfer characteristics of liquid sodium flow in an annular tube.The numerical results are in good agreement with some experimental results in open literatures.Meanwhile,the turbulent heat transfer characteristics which is influenced by factors of the turbulence,heat condition and geometry size were studied.The analysis results indicate that: the influence of the turbulence was mainly reflected in the forepart of the tube.As the molecule diffusion effect played a more important role gradually in the middle and posterior part,the heat transfer difference between different turbulence flows decreased gradually along the flow direction.The factors of initial temperature and heat flux have little effect on Nu number.The turbulent heat transfer increases as the gap size of the annular tube increases,and with the same gap size,as the internal diameter and external diameter increase,the heat transfer coefficient changes very little.
