Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] As a three-dimensional periodic topology with zero mean curvature, the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure has unique advantages in strengthening convection heat exchange. The continuous double-connected structure can generate self-similar vortex cascade, has rich vortex structure, stronger flow disturbance and larger specific surface area (up to 3-8 times of that of traditional fins), and can effectively improve the heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the TPMS has the advantages of environmental friendliness and compact structure, and therefore is widely applied to the TPMS structure in the fields of pipe shell heat exchanger, heat pipe and other reinforced heat exchange devices, and can be applied to the fields of chemical process, aerospace, environmental engineering and safety engineering.

[0003] Elbow is a common design element in engineering equipment, including elbow or U-shaped pipe with various bending angles, curvature radii and diameters. These elbow structures can increase the length of the heat exchange path and provide more heat exchange area, but the traditional elbow heat exchanger has two technical bottlenecks: one is that the flow separation generated under a specific working condition (such as a larger Dean number De ) leads to deterioration of heat transfer, resulting in a decrease in Nusselt number Nu ; the other is that the geometric characteristics of the elbow determine its limitations in further increasing the heat exchange area in the limited space of the reinforced heat exchange device.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0036] An enhanced convection heat transfer bend based on TPMS structure topology optimization includes a bend body with an embedded TPMS structure that divides the internal flow channel of the bend body into multiple fluid domains.

[0037] A bend is a pipe with a certain bending angle and radius of curvature in space, used to guide and change the flow direction of fluid. A bend consists of a straight pipe section 1 and a bend section 2. There can be one or more bend sections; when there are multiple bend sections, they can be continuous or discontinuous. Correspondingly, the internal flow channel of the straight pipe section 1 is divided into multiple straight pipe section fluid domains by the TPMS structure, and the internal flow channel of the bend section 2 is divided into multiple bend section fluid domains by the TPMS structure. The fluid domains inside the bend are formed by the one-to-one connection of the straight pipe section fluid domains and the bend section fluid domains.

[0038] TPMS structures are all surfaces that periodically repeat in three-dimensional space and have minimal average curvature, which, according to mathematical definition, can be expressed by a function. φ ( x , y , z ) = C To express, in the formula x , y , z For spatial coordinates, C This is a non-zero constant. The TPMS structure includes types such as Gyroid, Diamond, Schwarz, Schwarz-H, Neovius, Penta, and F-RD. The function expressions corresponding to each structure type are as follows:

[0039] Gyroid surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = sin( x cos( y ) + sin( y cos( z ) + sin( z cos( x ) = C .

[0040] Diamond surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = cos( x cos( y cos(z) - sin( x sin( y)sin( z ) = C .

[0041] Schwarz surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = cos( x ) + cos( y ) + cos( z ) = C .

[0042] Schwarz-H surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = cos( x )cos( y ) + cos( y )cos( z ) + cos( z )cos( x ) = C .

[0043] Neovius surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = cos( x ) + cos( y ) + cos( z ) + 0.3cos( x )cos( y )cos( z ) = C .

[0044] Penta surface: φ ( x , y , z ) = cos( x ) + cos( y ) + cos( z ) + 0.2cos( x+y ) + 0.2cos( y+z ) + 0.2cos( z+x ) = C .

[0045] F-RD (Fischer-Koch network) surface: φ ( x , y, z ) = cos( x cos( y cos( z ) + cos( x sin( y sin( z ) + sin( x cos( y sin( z ) + sin( x sin( y cos( z ) = C .

[0046] Taking the U-shaped tube with an embedded Diamond-type TPMS structure (i.e., the Diamond-type U-shaped tube) and the 90° tube with an embedded Gyroid-type TPMS structure (i.e., the Gyroid-type 90° tube) as examples, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the bend body includes a straight pipe section 1, a bend section 2, a pipe inlet 3, and a pipe outlet 4. The TPMS structure inside the bend body divides the flow channel inside the bend body into fluid domain A and fluid domain B. The two ends of fluid domain A are fluid domain A inlet 31 and fluid domain A outlet 41, respectively, and the two ends of fluid domain B are fluid domain B inlet 32 ​​and fluid domain B outlet 42, respectively. Correspondingly, the TPMS structure inside the bend body is divided into a straight pipe section TPMS structure 11 and a bend section TPMS structure 21. The straight pipe section TPMS structure 11 divides the internal flow channel of the straight pipe section 1 into a straight pipe section fluid domain A12 and a straight pipe section fluid domain B13. The bend section TPMS structure 21 divides the internal flow channel of the bend section 2 into a bend section fluid domain A22 and a bend section fluid domain B23. The straight pipe section fluid domain A12 and the bend section fluid domain A22 are connected to form the entire fluid domain A, and the straight pipe section fluid domain B13 and the bend section fluid domain B23 are connected to form the entire fluid domain B.

[0047] The design of the enhanced convection heat transfer bend based on TPMS structural topology optimization includes the following steps (1) to (4):

[0048] (1) A parameterized model of the bent pipe body is constructed using non-uniform rational B-splines, and then the parameterized model of the bent pipe body is analyzed by field synergy theory using computational fluid dynamics. Field synergy theory emphasizes the synergistic effect of velocity field and temperature field. By optimizing the distribution of fluid flow, the local synergy angle is reduced, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0049] (2) Determine the dimensional parameters of the bend body according to the design standards or specifications (such as ASME B31.3 - Process Piping in the chemical industry, and NASA-STD-5012 in the aerospace industry). The dimensional parameters of the bend body include the inner diameter. D radius of curvature R Bending angle Θ Wall thickness Δ The aforementioned dimensional parameters serve as design input variables, and their specific values ​​are determined by the process requirements, load conditions, and selected specifications of the target application.

[0050] (3) Select the TPMS structure and determine its structural parameters. The structural parameters of the TPMS structure include the size of the periodic unit. l x,y,z Porosity ε Surface thickness δ Magnification factor a Initial phase θ , l x,y,z / D > 0, 0 < δ / D ≤ 0.5, a > 0, θ ≥ 0. The above structural parameters serve as design input variables, and their specific values ​​are determined by the process requirements, load conditions, and selected specifications of the target application.

[0051] (4) Based on the dimensional parameters of the bend body, a geometric model of the fluid domain is constructed using 3D modeling software, thereby creating a 3D model that accurately reflects the actual shape and size of the bend. Based on the established fluid domain geometric model, the centerline equation of the bend body, i.e., the pipe axis describing the bend's direction, is defined using 3D modeling software; the function expression of the TPMS structure is then... φ ( x , y , z Convert to cylindrical coordinate system φ ( ρ , θ , z )( ρ For a point on a cylinder, the direction of the axis is... z - Vertical distance of the axis θ The line connecting the origin of the line and that point lies in... xy - The projection lines of the surface and the orthographic projection lines x - Angle between axes, z The distance from this point x-yThe distance between the planes is then embedded into the aforementioned centerline equation to achieve TPMS modeling in cylindrical coordinates. Finally, using Boolean operations in 3D modeling software, the TPMS structure is used to "cut" the bent pipe body, obtaining a solid domain TPMS structure and multiple independent fluid domains. When 0 < l x,y,z / D When ≤ 1, the internal flow channel of the bend body is divided into 2 fluid domains; when l x,y,z / D When the value is greater than 1, the internal flow channels of the bend are divided into more than 2 fluid domains. Based on the above-mentioned enhanced convective heat transfer bend and its design method with TPMS structure topology optimization, this invention embeds the TPMS structure within the internal flow channels of the bend to form interconnected fluid domains. The TPMS structure repeats periodically in three-dimensional space, possessing high symmetry and abundant internal channels, which can improve the bend's resistance to deformation. By embedding the TPMS structure inside the bend, the disturbance and turbulence of the fluid within the bend can be effectively increased. Furthermore, the centrifugal force in the bend structure causes the fluid to generate secondary flow, forming Dean vortices and secondary vortex structures. These vortex structures can enhance fluid mixing and promote heat transfer. The TPMS structure further enhances the complexity and strength of these vortex structures, thereby improving the convective heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer efficiency.

[0052] The fundamental formula for convective heat transfer is Newton's law of cooling: Q = hA · ΔT In the formula, Q To exchange heat, h The convective heat transfer coefficient is... A For heat exchange area, ΔT The temperature difference is the factor. Increasing the heat exchange area and improving the convective heat transfer coefficient can significantly improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0053] Based on the above design method, with inner diameter D = 25.4 mm, wall thickness Δ = 0.0625 D (TPMS structural wall thickness), radius of curvature is 2.5. D The length of the straight pipe section is 12. D U-shaped tube ( Θ = 180° Δ = Taking a diameter of 2.0 mm as an example, Diamond-type TPMS structures, Gyroid-type TPMS structures, and Schwarz-type TPMS structures are embedded into the body of the bent pipe, respectively, to obtain optimized Diamond-type U-shaped pipes, Gyroid-type U-shaped pipes, and Schwarz-type U-shaped pipes. The geometric model mesh division of the three types of U-shaped pipes is as follows: Figures 5-7The heat exchange efficiency of the three U-shaped tubes was then measured as follows:

[0054] Periodic cell size of the three TPMS structures l x,y,z The curved surface thickness was 12.7 mm δ The curved surface thickness was 0.0625 D The magnification factor was 1 a The initial phase was 0 θ The periodic cell size indicates that the three TPMS structures have the same length in the three coordinate directions x , y , z The porosity of the Diamond TPMS structure was 78.06% ε The porosity of the Gyroid TPMS structure was 80.68% ε The porosity of the Schwarz TPMS structure was 85.35%.

[0055] The U-shaped tubes with the three embedded TPMS structures were filled with fluid PR-3 domestic aviation kerosene, the inlet temperature was 150℃, the flow rate was 1 m / s ~ 3 m / s, and the wall heat flux density was 600 kW / m 2 ~ 800 kW / m 2 .

[0056] According to the inlet temperature and flow rate of the fluid, the Reynolds number Re = 1.588 ×10 4 ~ 4.763 ×10 4 (all turbulent flow) was calculated, and the Nusselt number Nu = 149.5 ~ 406.0 was calculated according to the Dittus-Boelter formula.

[0057] The total Nusselt number of the elbow section was calculated by the temperature difference between the outlet and inlet of the elbow section, and the comprehensive heat exchange coefficient PEC of the U-shaped tube with the three embedded TPMS structures compared with the traditional U-shaped tube was calculated according to the formula PEC = ( Nu / Nu * ) / ( f / f * 1 / 3 ; in the formula, Nu is the total Nusselt number of the elbow section of the optimized elbow (dimensionless); Nu * is the total Nusselt number of the elbow section of the traditional U-shaped tube (dimensionless), f ​The optimized friction resistance coefficient of the bend (dimensionless). f * PEC is the frictional resistance coefficient (dimensionless) of a traditional U-shaped tube. If PEC > 1, it indicates improved heat exchange efficiency; if PEC < 1, it indicates decreased heat exchange efficiency; if PEC = 1, it indicates unchanged heat exchange efficiency.

[0058] At flow rate U = 1 m / s ~ 3 m / s, wall heat flux q w = 700 kW / m 2 Under operating conditions, the comparison results of the Nusselt numbers of the three optimized U-shaped tubes and the traditional U-shaped tube (ordinary round tube) are as follows: Figure 11 As shown; at the flow rate U = 2 m / s, wall heat flux q w = 600 kW / m 2 ~ 800 kW / m 2 Under operating conditions, the comparison results of the Nusselt numbers of the three optimized U-shaped tubes and the traditional U-shaped tube (ordinary round tube) are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, under the same operating conditions, the Nusselt number of the three optimized U-shaped tubes mentioned above was significantly improved compared to the traditional U-shaped tube. Specifically, the Diamond type U-shaped tube improved by 56.7% to 59.0%, the Gyroid type U-shaped tube improved by 48.0% to 50.7%, and the Schwarz type U-shaped tube improved by 36.2% to 38.9%.

[0059] At a flow velocity of 1 m / s to 3 m / s and a wall heat flux of 600 kW / m 2 ~800 kW / m 2 Under operating conditions, the overall heat transfer coefficient (PEC) results of the three optimized U-tubes compared to the traditional U-tube are as follows: Figures 8-10 As shown in the figure, "(-)" indicates dimensionless. Under the same operating conditions, the overall heat transfer coefficients of the three optimized U-tubes mentioned above were significantly improved compared to the traditional U-tubes. Specifically, the Diamond type U-tube improved by 36.8% to 44.8%, the Gyroid type U-tube improved by 33.0% to 40.1%, and the Schwarz type U-tube improved by 30.5% to 34.7%. The enhanced heat transfer efficiency, from highest to lowest, was Diamond type U-tube, Gyroid type U-tube, Schwarz type U-tube, and ordinary U-tube.

[0060] Correspondingly, under the same working condition, the friction resistance coefficients of the three optimized U-shaped tubes increase, wherein the Diamond type U-shaped tube increases by 32.7% ~ 53.7%, the Gyroid type U-shaped tube increases by 23.6% ~ 39.0%, and the Schwarz type U-shaped tube increases by 7.3% ~ 19.5%. The increase of the friction resistance coefficient indicates that the cost of strengthening heat exchange is to increase the flow resistance.

[0061] According to the design method of the reinforced convective heat exchange elbow pipe based on the TPMS structure topology optimization, the application combines the convective heat exchange theory, the field synergy theory, the turbulent flow reinforced heat exchange theory and the secondary flow theory, realizes the synergistic effect of Dean vortex reinforcement and TPMS turbulent flow enhancement through the construction of the TPMS-elbow pipe composite flow channel with geometric self-similarity characteristics, and realizes higher heat exchange efficiency. The design method of the application can be used for optimizing the elbow pipe made of any material meeting the strength and mechanical requirements, and only needs to ensure that the elbow pipe structure can be actually manufactured and applied. The application realizes the high-efficiency and low-resistance heat exchange effect by combining the TPMS structure and the elbow pipe reinforced heat exchange mechanism, has significant energy saving and cost reduction advantages, is not only beneficial to improving the energy utilization rate and reducing the operation cost, but also can simplify the equipment application conditions, makes the installation and maintenance process more convenient, and is suitable for the harsh industrial scenes such as the aviation engine fuel cooling and the chemical process waste heat recovery.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that for the purpose of the present application, the embodiments can be substantially changed without departing from the spirit and the scope of the present application, the scope of the present application being defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
