Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of particles on the heat transfer characteristics of fluids flowing in a cold water tube. Plastic beads with 3 different sizes were used as flowing particles with cold water. An experimental test section was composed of concentric double tubes having diameters of 25mm for the inner tube and 50mm for the outer tube. The materials for the inner and outer tubes are copper and PVC respectively. It was found that the particles enhanced the heat transfer coefficient by random and vortex motion in the fluid. Hence the heat transfer coefficients for the fluid with 2㎜, 5㎜ and 2×6㎜ particles were 7%~37% higher than the fluid without the particles.
