Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of heat exchange technology, and particularly relates to a method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Large-volume concrete structures, due to their small surface area, experience concentrated heat release from cement hydration and rapid internal heating. Therefore, specialized air-cooled or water-cooled temperature control systems are required for cooling during construction. Air-cooled systems typically utilize prestressed corrugated pipes within the concrete as ventilation ducts. When performing a thermodynamic coupling analysis of ventilation and heat exchange in large-volume concrete structures, it is necessary to first determine the convective heat transfer coefficient between the air inside the corrugated pipe and the pipe wall.

[0003] The basic calculation method for the convective heat transfer coefficient is to divide the heat flux density by the temperature difference between the fluid and solid parts. Current methods for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of corrugated pipes involve uniformly arranging several sensors within the pipe's test section and then averaging the measured data for calculation. However, the actual distribution of air velocity and temperature within a corrugated pipe is not linear, and existing methods cannot obtain the true average values ​​of velocity and temperature. Furthermore, existing research and results on the heat transfer coefficient of corrugated pipes are limited to small-diameter pipes, while prestressed corrugated pipes in large-volume concrete often have larger diameters, making it impossible to directly apply existing results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes. This method can accurately obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient between the air and the inner wall of the large-diameter corrugated pipe, providing a more solid foundation for the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis of ventilation and heat transfer in large-volume components with small surface coefficients and rapid internal heating rates.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes, which includes the following steps:

[0006] S1 prepares the test piece and inserts a large-diameter corrugated pipe inside the test piece;

[0007] S2 heats the test piece and blows air into the large-diameter corrugated pipe at a certain wind speed.

[0008] S3 measures the air temperature at the pipe inlet and outlet wall boundary and the air temperature at the center of the cross section;

[0009] S4 Select at least three temperature measurement points on the wall of the test specimen at the pipe outlet, measure the temperature of the test specimen and calculate the average wall temperature of the specimen.

[0010] S5 calculates the cross-sectional wind speed distribution and average cross-sectional wind speed of the fully developed heat exchange section based on the inlet wind speed of the pipe;

[0011] S6 calculates the average air temperature at the pipe inlet based on the air temperature at the pipe inlet wall boundary and the air temperature at the center of the cross section; and calculates the air temperature distribution and average air temperature at the pipe outlet based on the air temperature at the pipe outlet wall boundary and the air temperature at the center of the cross section.

[0012] S7 calculates the heat flux density based on the average air temperature difference between the pipe outlet and inlet sections and the average wind speed of the fully developed section; and calculates the convective heat transfer coefficient based on the heat flux density.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-described method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes, in step S5,

[0014] The cross-sectional wind speed distribution v(r) of the fully developed heat transfer section is calculated using the following formula, which is a function of the distance r from the center of the section:

[0027] Furthermore, in the above-described method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes, in step S7,

[0028] The heat flux density q is calculated using the following formula:

[0029]

[0030] Then calculate the convective heat transfer coefficient h according to the following formula:

T is the average temperature of the airflow. w ρ represents the average wall temperature of the specimen at the outlet of the large-diameter corrugated pipe. a For air at temperature T a Temperature under certain conditions, v m For the cross-sectional average wind speed of the fully developed heat exchange section, A c Let A be the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe. p For the total heat exchange area, c p The specific heat of air under standard wind pressure.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above-described method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of a large-diameter corrugated pipe, in step S4, three temperature measurement points are selected on the wall of the test piece at the pipe outlet. The three temperature measurement points are evenly distributed and close to the wall of the large-diameter corrugated pipe.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above-described method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of a large-diameter corrugated pipe, in step S1, the large-diameter corrugated pipe is arranged horizontally at the center of the test piece.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above-described method for testing the convective heat transfer coefficient of large-diameter corrugated pipes, in step S1, the length of the test piece is not less than 20 times the pipe diameter.

[0036] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows:

[0037] 1) The convective heat transfer coefficient testing method of the present invention obtains the cross-sectional wind speed distribution function and temperature distribution function of the fully developed heat transfer section. Based on the velocity distribution function and temperature distribution function, the average velocity and average temperature of the cross-section of the fully developed heat transfer section can be accurately calculated, thereby accurately calculating the convective heat transfer coefficient. This improves the testing accuracy of the convective heat transfer coefficient and provides a more solid foundation for the thermo-mechanical coupling analysis of ventilation and heat transfer in large-volume components (such as concrete structures).

[0038] 2) The convective heat transfer coefficient testing method of the present invention only requires measuring the inlet wind speed when calculating the average wind speed of the cross section, and only requires measuring the center position of the cross section and the pipe wall position when calculating the average air temperature of the cross section. This effectively reduces the number of measuring points, improves the working efficiency of convective heat transfer coefficient testing, and saves costs and time. Attached Figure Description
