Unsteady fluid mechanics and heat transfer study in a double-tube air–combustor heat exchanger with porous medium
چکیده انگلیسی

Fluid mechanics and heat transfer are studied in a double-tube heat exchanger that uses the combustion gases from natural gas in a porous medium located in a cylindrical tube to warm up air that flows through a cylindrical annular space. The mathematical model is constructed based on the equations of continuity, linear momentum, energy and chemical species. Unsteady fluid mechanics and heat transfer by forced gas convection in the porous media, with combustion in the inner tube, coupled to the forced convection of air in the annular cylindrical space are predicted by use of finite volumes method. Numerical simulations are made for four values of the annular air flow Reynolds number in the range 100 ⩽ Re ⩽ 2000, keeping constant the excess air ψ = 4.88, the porosity ε = 0.4, and the air–fuel mixture inlet speed Uo = 0.43 m/s. The results obtained allow the characterization of the velocity and temperature distributions in the inner tube and in the annular space, and at the same time to describe the displacement of the moving combustion zone and the annular porous media heat exchanger thermal efficiency. It is concluded that the temperature increase is directly related to the outer Reynolds number.
