Description
Paper Description
The present problem simulates the γ-Al2O3/water flow inside a circular tube with twisted tape inserts. The simulation is based on the reference article “Study on heat transfer and friction factor characteristics of γ-Al2O3/water through circular tube twisted tape inserts with different thicknesses“. Its results are compared and validated with the results in the article. In this project, the γ-Al2O3/water fluid will enter the computational domain with an initial temperature of 300K and a velocity of 0.716m/s (referring to Reynolds number = 500) through a multiple-staged twisted circular tube. The twisted tube’s outer wall is exposed to a heat flux rate of 5000 W/m2 and causes the fluid flow’s temperature to increase.
Twisted Tape Geometry & Mesh
The geometry of this project is designed in ANSYS design modeler and is meshed in ANSYS meshing software. The mesh type used for this geometry is structured, and the element number is 2146882.
