Investigation of air inlet angle influence on air-side heat transfer performance of finned oval tube heat exchanger
Heat transfer performance of a finned oval tube heat exchanger with various air inlet angles (30°
45°
60° and 90°
respectively) were experimentally investigated in this study. Experimental results showed that heat transfer performance decreased with decreasing air inlet angle
and the experimental correlation of the air-side Nusselt number was obtained in the studied range of Reynolds numbers and air inlet angles. Heat transfer performance of various air inlet angles was simulated by using CFD software Ansys Fluent
and the simulated results agreed well with the experimental results. The numerical results indicated that with the decrease of air inlet angle
the uniformity of air velocity distribution in
z
-direction became worse
therefore
the comprehensive heat transfer performance was worse than that of the case with uniform flow distribution.
