Thermal and hydraulic efficiency of the corridor tube bundle in conditions of pulsating flow of fluid

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. The method of determining the thermal and hydraulic efficiency η of tube bundles with a pulsating flow is given in the paper. Based on numerical simulation, the effect of the Reynolds number Re of the dimensionless pulsation amplitude β and the Strouhal number Sh on the thermal and hydraulic efficiency η of the corridor tube bundles was investigated. The optimum pulsation regimes corresponding to the maximum η are found.
