The experimental investigation of pipes system array inside the pressurized cylindrical container in various orientations
Authors
Abstract
The experimental investigation of natural convection analysis in pressurized containers
has been successfully addressed fusing four identical circular rectangle pipes. The pressurized
tank of 0.3 m diameter and 0.45 m height within 0.43 m height and 0.025 m side length
interior square pipes are used to obtain the present investigation. Various parameters are used
such as gauge pressure (0.5-1 bar), pipes Ra configurations and enclosure orientations. The
results are Nusselt number for cold and hot sides. Both sides has reverse response, the
parametric analysis shows the ordinary behavior according to gravity and pressure forces
interaction. The optimum conditions is observed when horizontal enclosure of top pipe in one
bar is applied where the heat transfer improvement is 24 % approximately.
