摘要
We investigated the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a Twisted elliptic tube (TET). The effects of geometry parameters such as the aspect ratio and number of rotations in the TET were analyzed comparatively using three-dimensional (3-D) numerical simulation. We also solved numerically the conservation equations of continuity, momentum, and energy in the TET. Fully developed flow in the TET was modeled using the realizable k-epsilon turbulence model and steady incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. The simulation was performed for Reynolds numbers of 100, 1000 and 10000. The pressure drop and the heat transfer of the TET were assessed in terms of the Darcy friction factor and Colburn j-factor, and overall performance was evaluated using the area and volume goodness factors.
