Wall temperature distribution characteristics of flow and heat transfer inside horizontal helically-coiled tube
Helically-coiled tube is a kind of high-efficiency heat transfer tube. When fluid flows in horizontal helically-coiled tube it will be affected by gravity and centrifugal forces
and the flow direction changes from time to time
resulting in secondary flow and thus behaving different flow and heat transfer characteristics from those in other tubes. In order to explore the temperature distribution characteristics of the inner tube wall when fluid flows in single phase and under subcooled boiling
the inner tube wall temperatures on the bottom
the rising part and the top cross sections selected in a horizontal helically-coiled tube are experimentally studied by means of increasing the heat flux gradually. Factors which result in these characteristics are explained in detail. The completed work has significance of reference for the design and engineering applications of helically-coiled tube heat exchangers.
