Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heat exchangers, and in particular relates to a dual-fluid topology optimization construction method and system for a printed circuit board type heat exchanger. Background Art

[0002] Printed circuit board heat exchanger is a new type of efficient and compact heat exchanger with many advantages such as high heat transfer efficiency, wide temperature and pressure resistance, and good corrosion resistance. It is widely used in core equipment such as nuclear reactors, ship engines, and hydrogen coolers. The flow channel structure of the printed circuit board heat exchanger has a close impact on its flow and heat transfer performance. Its flow channel structure directly determines key indicators such as the inlet and outlet pressure drop of the fluid and the heat transfer capacity, which is directly related to the performance of the heat exchanger and the energy consumption of auxiliary equipment.

[0003] It is very important to optimize the design of the flow channel structure of the printed circuit board heat exchanger. Since the printed circuit board heat exchanger was proposed in 1985, researchers have developed many flow channel structures to improve its performance. The S-shaped fin structure proposed by Ngo et al. [Ngo TL, Kato Y, Nikitin K, et al. New printed circuit heat exchanger with S-shaped fins for hotwater supplier [J]. Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 2006, 30 (8): 811-819.] can reduce the pressure drop of the cold side fluid by 37%. The rounded zigzag flow channel proposed by Baik et al. [Baik S, Kim SG, Lee J, et al. Study on CO2-waterprinted circuit heat exchanger performance operating under various CO2 phases for S-CO2 power cycle application [J]. Applied Thermal Engineering, 2017, 113: 1536-1546.] can reduce the pressure drop by 40%-65% compared with the traditional sharp-angle flow channel at the same mass flow rate. Kim et al. [Kim DE, Kim MH, Cha JE, et al. Numerical investigation on thermal–hydraulic performance of new printed circuit heat exchanger model [J]. Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2008, 238 (12): 3269-3276.] developed a wing-shaped channel printed circuit board heat exchanger, which has the same heat transfer capacity as the zigzag channel, but the pressure drop is only 1 / 20 of the latter.Qu et al. [Qu M, Zhang Y, Zhang X, et al. Numerical analysis of the effect of wave amplitude on thermohydraulic performance in a heat exchanger with sinusoidal wavy channels [J]. International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2024, 155: 107582.] studied the PCHE of variable amplitude sinusoidal flow channels through CFD and improved the heat transfer performance by 36.37%. The two-way corrugated flow channel and front / rear corrugated flow channel proposed by Samarmad et al. [Oleiwi Samarmad A, Mohammad Jaffal H. Performance evaluation of a printed circuit heat exchanger with a novel two-way corrugated channel [J]. Results in Engineering, 2023, 19: 101303.] and [Samarmad AO, Jaffal HM. Examining the effect of backward / forward-facing wavy channels on the thermohydraulic performance of a printed circuit heat exchanger under the laminar flow regime [J]. International Journal of Thermofluids, 2023, 20: 100485.] improved the PCHE performance by 43% and 50%, respectively.

[0004] Structural optimization methods can be divided into three categories: size optimization, shape optimization, and topology optimization [Du J. Structural Optimization and its Application in Vibration and Acoustic Design [M]. Tsinghua University Press, 2015.] These three types of optimization methods have increasing degrees of freedom in optimization. Existing studies have optimized the size and shape of the flow channel structure of printed circuit board heat exchangers, and proposed typical flow channels including straight channels, corrugated channels, sinusoidal channels, louver channels, and airfoil channels. However, these two types of optimization methods require that the connection method of the structure, that is, the topological characteristics, remain unchanged during the optimization process. At the same time, based on theory and designer experience, it is impossible to fundamentally change the flow channel structure of the heat exchanger from the topological configuration, thereby achieving a revolutionary design of the flow channel structure. Topological optimization is not subject to this restriction and can change the topological characteristics of the structure, with the highest degree of design freedom. Topological optimization was first used in the field of structural mechanics [ MP, Kikuchi N. Generating optimal topologies in structural design using a homogenization method [J]. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 1988, 71 (2): 197-224.], used to optimize the support structure to meet the given load, and later extended to the field of flow heat transfer [Yoon GH. Topological design of heat dissipating structure with forced convective heat transfer [J]. J Mech Sci Technol, 2010, 24 (6): 1225-1233.], such as Xia et al. [Xia Y, Chen L, Luo J, et al. Numerical investigation of microchannel heat sinks with different inlets and outlets based on topology optimization[J].Applied Energy, 2023, 330:120335.] optimized a multi-inlet microchannel heat exchanger. Compared with the traditional pin-fin structure, the topological optimization structure can achieve a 53.28% increase in Nusselt number and a 40.89% reduction in pressure drop. However, there are few literatures that conduct topological optimization on the dual-fluid flow heat transfer process in printed circuit board heat exchangers, which cannot fundamentally improve the performance of printed circuit board heat exchangers. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a dual-fluid topology optimization construction method and system for a printed circuit board heat exchanger. First, the three-dimensional cold side and hot side flow channels of the printed circuit board heat exchanger are extracted and formed into a three-dimensional typical flow channel unit to obtain a three-dimensional single flow channel model; then, considering the dimensionality reduction model, the three-dimensional single flow channel model is reduced to form a dual-fluid flow heat transfer dimensionality reduction model. Using the obtained dimensionality reduction model, the typical flow heat transfer process occurring in the flow channel is extracted, and a dual-fluid topology optimization model for the flow heat transfer process in the flow channel is constructed; based on the variable density method, the heat transfer of the cold-hot side flow channel is maximized as the optimization goal, and the topology optimization is performed under the given inlet Reynolds number and inlet and outlet pressure drop constraints to obtain the distribution of solid fins and fluid flow channels in the flow channel, and construct a topological flow channel structure. The results show that compared with the existing structural airfoil structure, the constructed topology optimization structure has a complex and counterintuitive fin structure, which has new structural characteristics; compared with the existing airfoil structure, the topology optimization structure can achieve a 13.1% increase in total heat transfer under the condition of a 38% reduction in pump work, and has the characteristics of strong performance.

[0105]

[0106] Where Q is the heat exchange between the cold side fluid and the hot side fluid; Δp1 is the inlet and outlet pressure drop of the cold side fluid, Δp 1maxis the pressure drop constraint of the cold side fluid inlet and outlet; Δp2 is the pressure drop of the hot side fluid inlet and outlet, Δp 2max is the pressure drop constraint of the hot side fluid inlet and outlet;

[0108] Step 3.2.1, use the Helmholtz equation to filter the optimization design variable γ after each iteration to avoid the checkerboard phenomenon of the optimized structure after filtering and alleviate the dependence of the optimized structure on the grid:

[0114] The convergence criterion in step 3 is that the design variable residual is less than 0.01 or the iteration number exceeds 400 steps.

[0115] A dual-fluid topology optimization construction system for a printed circuit board type heat exchanger, comprising:

[0116] Three-dimensional single-channel model building module: According to step 1, periodic boundary conditions and symmetric boundary conditions are applied in the height direction and vertical flow direction of the printed circuit board type heat exchanger respectively, and the full-scale simulation of the printed circuit board type heat exchanger is replaced by the three-dimensional typical flow channel unit simulation to form a three-dimensional single-channel model;

[0117] Two-fluid flow heat transfer dimensionality reduction model construction module: According to step 2, the topological optimization material characterization method of the coupled variable density method and the flow heat transfer control equation are used to reduce the three-dimensional flow heat transfer problem to a two-dimensional design domain, and a two-fluid flow heat transfer dimensionality reduction model is constructed;

[0118] Two-fluid topology optimization model construction module: According to step three, a two-dimensional two-fluid topology optimization model for the flow and heat transfer process in the flow channel is constructed. Based on the variable density method, the heat transfer is maximized under a given pressure constraint. Topology optimization is performed with the goal of enhancing heat transfer and reducing flow resistance. The fin distribution in the design domain is obtained, and a new topological channel structure is constructed.

[0119] The topology optimization process of the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown. First, in step 1, a three-dimensional single-channel model is obtained according to the structural characteristics of the printed circuit board heat exchanger. Then, in step 2, the finite element method is used to solve the control equation according to the current structure to obtain the state variables. Then, in step 3, the objective function is calculated, and the sensitivity of the objective function is obtained in step 3. Finally, in step 3, the moving asymptote method GCMMA based on the global convergence of the gradient-based optimization solver is used to update the design variables. After filtering and projecting the design variables in step 3, the above steps are repeated until the convergence criterion is met (the residual of the design variable is less than 10 -3 or iterates more than 400 steps), we get Figure 3 The topology optimization results under different inlet Reynolds numbers are shown. The topology optimization Reynolds numbers are set to 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300. Figure 3 It is the topological optimization structure obtained under different inlet Reynolds numbers for a single-channel structure. The optimized structure arranges fins in the design domain. The fins are of different sizes and complex shapes, presenting a counterintuitive design. As the inlet Reynolds number increases, the complexity of the cold and hot side structures increases. On the cold side, the heat in the fins will be transferred to the fluid around the fins through convective heat transfer. At low Reynolds numbers, the convective heat transfer around each fin is relatively weak, indicating that the Biot number is small (which is defined as the ratio of the thermal resistance of heat conduction inside the solid to the thermal resistance of convective heat transfer around the solid). Therefore, in order to effectively cool the fins, the size of the fins should not be too large. As the Reynolds number increases, the convective heat transfer becomes stronger, resulting in a higher Biot number. Larger solid fins can effectively cool the channel, increase the total heat transfer, and optimize the performance of the heat exchanger.

[0120] In order to verify the usefulness of the topology optimization structure, the present invention uses a three-dimensional flow heat transfer model to perform a three-dimensional simulation of the obtained topology optimization structure. Figure 4Taking the typical heat exchanger topology optimization design shown in Figure 1 as an example (Reynolds number 100), the three-dimensional simulation includes topology optimization structure, airfoil structure and straight channel structure. The airfoil structure adopts the size optimization structure of Kim et al. [Kim TH, Kwon JG, Yoon SH, et al. Numerical analysis of air-foil shaped fin performance inprinted circuit heat exchanger in a supercritical carbon dioxide power cycle [J]. Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2015, 288: 110-118.], and its geometric dimensions are as follows: Figure 1 (b) The above structure was stretched in the thickness direction and its performance was verified in a three-dimensional flow and heat transfer model. The inlet Reynolds numbers were set to 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 in the three-dimensional verification. Figure 5 The total pumping power and total heat transfer of the three structures were counted. For printed circuit board heat exchangers, lower total pumping power and higher total heat transfer represent lower auxiliary equipment power consumption and stronger heat transfer performance, corresponding to the area in the upper left corner of the figure. It can be seen that the topology optimization structure (diamond) designed by the present invention performs better than the airfoil structure (circle) and the straight channel structure (square). Quantitatively, compared with the existing airfoil structure, the single-channel topology optimization structure can achieve a 13.1% increase in total heat transfer under the condition of a 38% reduction in pump work, which proves the advantage of the topology optimization structure of the present invention. The present invention develops a dual-fluid topology optimization dimensionality reduction model for printed circuit board heat exchangers, optimizes the design of the dual-fluid flow channel structure in the printed circuit board heat exchanger, and improves the flow heat transfer performance of the heat exchanger. Compared with the existing structure, the topology optimization structure has a complex and counterintuitive fin structure, which achieves the purpose of enhancing heat transfer and reducing flow resistance. Compared with the existing airfoil structure, the single-channel topology optimization structure can achieve a 13.1% increase in total heat transfer under the condition of a 38% reduction in pump work.
