Research into techniques for enhancing the heat transfer performance of finned-tube heat exchangers

提高翅片管换热器换热性能的技术研究。本课题探讨了几种提高机械粘接翅片管换热器换热性能的方法。将对这些方法进行实验分析，并使用有限元进行数值分析。传热效率的任何提高都将有助于节约能源，从而节约自然资源。热交换器的改进设计将使澳大利亚制造商具有明显的竞争优势。一个同样重要的结果将是培训一名研究人员从事与工业有关的研究，并熟练掌握实验和数值程序。

Research into techniques for enhancing the heat transfer performance of finned-tube heat exchangers. This project explores several methods for enhancing the heat transfer performance of mechanically bonded finned tube heat exchangers. The methods would be analysed experimentally, and using finite elements, numerically. Any increase in heat transfer efficiency would contribute to the conservation of energy, and therefore, of natural resources. An improved design of heat exchangers would give a definite competitive edge to the Australian manufacturer. An equally significant outcome would be the training of a research person in industry-related research and skilled both in experimental and numerical procedures.
