Numerical Simulation and Experimental Verification of Air Flow through a Heated Pipe

چکیده
Abstract—The phenomenon of forced convection with turbulent flow is chaotic, complex and hard to develop analytically. Only key to the problem is experimental correlations and numerical solution. The goal of our project is to validate the Dittus-Boelter equation, a correlation used to find the value of heat transfer coefficient ‘h’ for turbulent flow in many fluid transfer systems. Heat transfer coefficient ‘h’ and friction factor are very important parameters because they determine rate of heat transfer and the pressure drop respectively. This paper uses three methods to determine these parameters, Correlations, CFD simulation and experiment. This paper will discuss how the Dittus-Boelter equation is applied to the problem of circular pipe.

Optimizing naturally driven air flow in a vertical pipe by changing the intensity and location of the wall heat flux
Heat transfer from the internal surfaces of a vertical pipe to the adjacent air gives rise to the air flow establishment within the pipe. With the aim of optimizing the convective air flow rate in a vertical pipe, the details of the flow and thermal fields were investigated in the present study. Conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy were solved numerically using simple implicit f...
