چکیده
In this paper, a numerical scheme has been developed for primary and secondary fluids adopting Euler–Cauchy method to find the temperature distribution of the primary fluid relative to the secondary fluid and vice–versa and to obtain an optimum boiling length of the tube in the vertical inverted U–tube steam generator (UTSG).

Numerical Simulation and Parametric Study of Forced Convective Condensation in Vertical Channel
Forced convective condensation in vertical channel is investigated numerically. The condensation boundary layers that occur due to temperature difference between the walls and saturation temperature of steam is simulated by the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The effect of variations in the hydraulic diameter, steam velocity, Re number and temperature difference between the wall and saturation te...
متن کاملParticulate Fouling and its Effect on U-Tube Steam Generator Thermal Performance
A multiple-node SIMULINK model of a U-tube steam generator (UTSG) has been developed so as to simulate the UTSG dynamics or responses to various defects, including fouling. UTSG responses to different events, such as reduced heat transfer area, change in heat transfer coefficient at different axial nodes, change in tube material conductivity, and the change of steam valve coefficients have been...

Natural convection heat transfer from a tube bundle in the indirect water bath heaters is investigated. A computer-code is used for the solution of the governing equations of mass, momentum and energy transfer based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm. Simulations are carried out for the gas pressure station heater of Kermanshah city with various tube bundle arrangements. In order to validate the numeric...
متن کاملFull-scale CFD Simulation and Measurement in a Heat Recovery Steam Generator
Flue gas generated by the wastewater incineration entrains a large number of ash particles which are composed of alkali substances into the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The deposition of particles rich in alkali on the tube surface of heat transfer can reduce the heat transfer efficiency; even cause severe capacitylimiting plugging and unscheduled shutdown. In the present work, a full-...
متن کاملTwo Phase Heat Transfer Characteristics in a Vertical Small Diameter Tube at Sub Atmospheric Pressure
Two-phase heat transfer is experimentally examined through vertical small diameter tubes, D =1.45 and 2.8 mm using water under a pressure of 50 to 81 kPa and a natural circulation condition. The pool boiling correlation by Stephan-Abdelsalam and the thermosyphon boiling correlation by Imura, et al. predict the measured experimental data in the 2.8 mm tube with an error of -30%. A large heat tra...
