Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of heat transfer in a cylindrical tube, which is a simulation model of a fire tube. The experiments were performed on a gas-dynamic pipe of open type. The starting mode during operation of the gas turbine engine is one of the main modes in which failures sometimes occur. The failure may occur due to external heat transfer mode, when the thermal parameters of the gas flow exceed the calculated values and there takes place intense local heating of the streamlined surface of the structural element(s) of the engine. Experimental studies were carried out at different intensity of the increasing temperature of the working fluid, which allowed to fix the phenomenon of laminarization of the thermal turbulent boundary layer at the heat flow directed from the gas flow to the channel wall. In the event of laminarization phenomenon, the values of local heat transfer coefficients are reduced by 2.5-3 times. Since the discovery of this phenomenon, it has also been observed in various situations of accelerating the gas flow and even at high degrees of heating of the cylindrical pipe wall under stationary flow conditions. This phenomenon has been recorded for the first time in the non-stationary mode and the specified direction of the heat flow. The temperature head or temperature factor is proposed as a laminarization parameter of a turbulent boundary layer, and the boundary of the laminarization area of a turbulent boundary layer is Δ T ≥ 700 K.
