Abstract

Augmentation of heat transfer by ultrasonic vibration in pipes are investigated. Measurements of convective heat transfer coefficients on circular pipe walls are made with and without ultrasonic vibration applied to water. These data are compared with each other to quantify the effects of ultrasonic vibration on heat transfer enhancement. Numerical analysis has been also performed in order to extend the ranges of examined temperature and flow rate. FLUENT Ver.6.1 is used to simulate velocity and temperature fields and evaluate heat transfer coefficient with and without ultrasonic vibration. The results show that the ultra- sonic vibration enhances the Nusselt number of forced convection flow and the increase rate strongly depends on flow rate.

관내부로 흐르는 물에 초음파 진동을 가진 하였을 때 관내 열전달이 증진되는 효과를 실험 및 수치해석을 통해 연구하였다 원형관 벽면에서 관내부로 흐르는 물로의 대류 열 전달계수를 초음파 진동이 있을 때 와 없을 때에 측정하였다. 이 결과를 비교함으로써 초음파진동이 전열성능 향상에 미치는 영향을 정량화 하였다. 이러한 현상에 영향을 줄 수 있는 유량과 온도의 범위를 넓히기 위하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. FLUENT 6.1을 이용하여 관내의 유동장과 온도분포를 해석하고 초음파 진동 유무 시 대류 열 전달계수를 평가하였다 연구결과 초음파진동이 강제대류 조건에서 전열성능을 향상시키며 그 영향은 관내를 흐르는 물의 유량에 따라 크게 변한다는 것을 보여주고 있다.
