Axisymmetric Computations of Flow and Heat Transfer in a Pre−swirl Rotor−stator System

چکیده
ABSTRACT An axisymmetric, turbulent, multigrid computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code is used, on a parallel computing facility, to predict the mixing between superposed flows in a pre−swirl rotor−stator system, being a simplified representation of the internal air cooling system in gas turbine engines. Strong recirculations formed by the pre−swirl cross−flow lead to entrainment of disc−cooling air from the heated rotor into the underside of the cold pre−swirl jet, raising the temperature of the air leaving the system to cool the turbine blades. Disc speed, flow rates and seal geometry all affect the detailed structure of the mixing process, however many common features allow insight into the thermal contamination of the cross−flow.

Nusselt Number Measurement of Air Flow between Grooved Rotor and Stator of a Generator
In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

متن کاملAnalytical study of flow field and heat transfer of a non-Newtonian fluid in an axisymmetric channel with a permeable wall
In this study, the momentum and energy equations of laminar flow of a non-Newtonian fluid are solved in an axisymmetric porous channel using the least square and Galerkin methods. The bottom plate is heated by an external hot gas, and a coolant fluid is injected into the channel from the upper plate. The arising nonlinear coupled partial differential equations are reduced to a set of coupled no...

Accurate thermal analysis of axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines is crucial in predicting maximum power output. Stator convective heat transfer is one of the most important and least investigated heat transfer mechanisms and is the focus of this paper. Experimental measurements were undertaken using a thin-film electrical heating method, providing radially resolved steady state heat tra...

In this study, the thermal characteristics of turbulent nanofluid flow in a helical tube in the tube heat exchanger (HTTHE) were assessed numerically through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The findings of both the turbulent models: realizable k-epsion (k-ε) and re-normalisation group (RNG) k-epsilon were compared. The temperature distribution contours show that realizable and RN...
