Abstract

Abstract A comparative analysis of heat transfer characteristic in pulsating flow induced by rolling motion under natural circulation and forced circulation condition was performed. Variation of local and average heat transfer characteristics with rolling motion were also investigated. The results show that the natural circulation time-averaged heat transfer characteristic is enhanced by rolling motion. However, the variation of time-averaged heat transfer characteristic of forced circulation is not significant. In addition, the relationship between the relative pulsation amplitude of Reynolds number and Nusselt number does not present predominant difference in natural and forced circulation conditions.
