Description
Summary:In order to reveal the heat transfer mechanism of supercritical methane heat exchanger,a coupled model for solid wall heat conduction and convection supercritical methane is established,and the non-uniform flow field of convection heat transfer characteristics of supercritical methane are analysed. The results indicate that during the heating process, the Reynold number monotonously increases with the augment of bulk fluid temperature,and the Prandtl number has both the trough and peak values. Under the action of double effects of buoyancy and gravity, the thermal properties of methane on the tube cross section show the non-uniform “distortion”and“stratification”characteristics,accompanied by the complex“secondary flows”phenomenon. The non-uniform distributions of inner wall temperature and heat flux of circular tube are observed,and the minimum value is reached at 0° of tube. The peak of heat transfer coefficient appears near the critical temperature. Compared with the operating pressures,the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical methane are more sensitive to the mass fluxes.
