Abstract

The traditional straight wall tube heat exchanger has low heat exchange efficiency, in order to solve this problem, the turbulent flow in wave wall tube heat exchanger was studied by numerical simulation. It is found that the unique corrugated structure of the heat exchange tube in the wave wall tube heat exchanger can improve the flow state of the fluid in the heat exchanger. The average pressure drop of heat exchanger gradually increases with the increase of Reynolds number Re. Under the same conditions, the average pressure drop of wave wall tube heat exchanger is lower than that of straight wall tube heat exchanger. The improvement of heat exchange performance of heat exchanger can not be realized only by increasing the inlet flow of heat exchanger. The wave wall tube heat exchanger can strengthen the heat exchange of the fluid in the heat exchanger.
