Abstract:
By using the commercial software ANSYS CFS, numerically calculated were the heat exchange characteristics of the cooling air inside a straight ribbed rectangular channel and compared were the calculation results with the test data obtained by Han. Furthermore, the influence of Reynolds and the angle of ribs on Nusselt number was also analyzed. It has been found that the average Nusselt number obtained from the numerical calculation assumes an identical variation tendency to the test values. The calculation results, however, were bigger than the test values. Due to the flow disturbance role played by the ribs, two vortexes will be produced in the zone between any two ribs, enhancing the heat exchange between the cooling air and the solid wall surfaces. With an increase of Reynolds and Nusselt number, the average friction resistance coefficient will also increase. When the angle of ribs falls in a range from 45 to 60 degrees, the intensified convection heat exchange effectiveness in the cooling channel is assessed as the best.
