| Sumario: | The condensation of moist air is a common process in industry and increase its heat transfer coefficient is of great importance for improving energy efficiency. This study used 3-D finned tube to enhance moist air condensation, and the condensation process was calculated through numerical method aligned with Diffusion Layer model and Eulerian Wall Film model. The total heat transfer, sensible heat transfer and latent heat transfer during the condensation process were discussed. The results indicated that 3-D finned tube increased heat transfer amount and the condensation was mainly on fin surface. Besides, the influence of 3-D fin height was also obtained. The results indicated that the increase of fin height in circumferential direction can increase heat transfer in the tail of tube, and sensible heat transfer process was more sensitive to the area increment. |
