Abstract:Helically ribbed coils are commonly applied in steam cracking furnaces. To fully understand the impact of these ribbed wall modifications on the local heat transfer and associated pressure drop throughout the reactor, detailed experimental, and numerical studies have been performed. Experimental data based on stereo-particle image velocimetry (S-PIV) and liquid crystal thermography have been used to validate the numerical results from wall-resolved large eddy simulations using OpenFOAM.The validation shows an … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
