Analysis of ribbed tube heating in the cooling system

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the solution of the conjugated heat exchange problem in a cylindrical ribbed tube using the open integrated platform OpenFOAM. The obtained results allow estimating the fluid heating along the channel as well as the temperature difference on the walls of the tube. It is shown that the minimum temperature difference of the fluid is observed in the center of the tube, and the maximum one is closer to the tube walls.
