@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1759, title = {Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in Primary Surface with Corrugations Recuperators}, author = {Liu Xuedong and Liu Hanpeng and Zhou Ling}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Study fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of microchannel in a primary Cross-corrugated(CC) surface recuperators with corrugations and without corrugations, using CFD method. The pitch-over-height ratios P/H of Cross-corrugated (CC) surface is from 1.5 to 4.0, included angles β=75º. The study was performed using CFD software FLUENT to create unit model and simulate fluid temperature, velocity, heat transfer coefficient and other parameters. The results from these simulations were compared to experimental data. It is concluded that, when the Reynolds number is constant, if increase P/H, j/f will decrease, also the decreasing trend will become weak. Under the condition of P/H=2.2, if increase the inlet velocity j/f will decrease; in addition, the heat transfer performance in surface with corrugation will increase 10% compared to that without corrugation. The study results can provide the basis to optimize the design, select the type of heat transfer surface, the scale structure, and heat-transfer surface arrangement for recuperators.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {5}, year = {2010}, pages = {433 - 438}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1759}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/41}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 41, 2010}, }
