Parametric Analysis of a Bayonet Tube With a Special Type of Extended Surface | CU Experts

Overview

The present paper provides a numerical study of a parametric analysis of a bayonet tube with a special type of extended surface during the laminar-turbulent transition. The working internal fluid is air. Attention is focused on the heat transfer characteristics of the tube. The results constitute a systematic investigation of the effect of the extended surface located along the annulus of the bayonet on the overall heat transfer rate. The effects of the variation of some parameters related to the extended surface aiming to attain the maximum heat transfer with the minimum pressure drop are discussed. Comparisons between designs with and without extended surface are also made.
