摘要/Abstract

摘要：

根据新型矩形印刷电路板式换热器（RM-PCHE）的试样建立了数学模型，通过数值模拟对RM-PCHE内超临界CO₂的耦合传热特性展开了研究。通过实验数据验证了数值模型的可靠性，换热量的最大相对误差为11.2%，模拟结果可靠。数值分析结果表明，在低温回热器的典型工况下，超临界CO₂的传热性能由比热容和热导率共同影响。在热侧，由于热导率近似恒定，超临界CO₂的传热性能主要由比热容主导。与湍流强度相比，超临界CO₂的热物理性质是影响其传热性能的更主要因素，这导致RM-PCHE冷侧超临界CO₂的传热系数总是大于热侧。基于模拟数据，综合考虑物性变化和湍流强度对传热的影响，建立了修正的超临界CO₂传热关联式，在模拟工况下，热侧关联式的最大偏差为2.3%，冷侧关联式的最大偏差为6.8%。

Abstract:

A mathematical model was established based on a sample of a novel rectangular printed circuit board heat exchanger (RM-PCHE). The coupled heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO₂ within the RM-PCHE were investigated through numerical simulation. The reliability of the numerical model was validated against experimental data, with the maximum relative error in heat transfer performance quantified at 11.2% under the tested conditions. This result demonstrates the credibility of the simulation outcomes. Numerical analysis results show that under typical low-temperature regenerator operating conditions, the heat transfer performance of supercritical CO₂ is influenced by both specific heat and thermal conductivity. On the hot side, due to the approximately constant thermal conductivity, the heat transfer performance of supercritical CO₂ is primarily dominated by specific heat. Moreover, compared with turbulence intensity, the thermophysical properties of supercritical CO₂ are the primary factor affecting its heat transfer, leading to the heat transfer coefficient of supercritical CO₂ on the cold side of rectangular printed circuit heat exchanger consistently being higher than that on the hot side. Additionally, due to the baffle in rectangular printed circuit heat exchanger enhancing the fluid's turbulent diffusion capacity, the existing correlation consistently underestimates the heat transfer performance of supercritical CO₂. Therefore, based on simulated data and incorporating the effects of thermophysical property variations and turbulence intensity on heat transfer, modified heat transfer correlations for supercritical CO₂ were developed. Under the simulated conditions, the maximum deviations of the hot-side and cold-side correlations for the rectangular printed circuit heat exchanger using supercritical CO₂ as working fluid were 2.3% and 6.8%, respectively.
