摘要
Flow and heat transfer characteristics through a U-bend are investigated in this paper. The complete governing differential equations are solved numerically using two turbulent models, the standard k-epsilon model and the near-wall k-epsilon model, (present mode). The present numerical results have been tested and evaluated against published experimental data. The present results indicate the advantage of present model over the standard k-epsilon model of turbulence. Theoretical investigation has been done to study the effect of Reynolds number and curvature ratio upon Nusselt number. This study showed that Nusselt number increases with the increase of Reynolds number and the decrease of curvature ratio in the curved portion and continue through the downstream tangent.
