Numerical Simulation of Triangle-Arranged Tubular Heat Exchanger

Based on the principle and method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using the software, FLUENT, the inner water flow field in the cross-section geometric model of a triangle-arranged tubular heat exchanger was simulated and the flow details were studied roundly. This article analyzed the temperature field distribution, pressure field distribution and pointed out the main factors that affected the effect of the heat transfer. The results of this paper provided a good base and reference for the further research on the optimum design.
