Authored a research paper titled ‘analysis of heat exchange performance of heat exchange tubes of
evaporative heat exchanger based on fluent’. In this paper, in order to study the influence of the heat
exchange tubes length of the evaporative heat exchanger on the heat exchange performance of the
organic rankine cycle technology (ORC) in automobile exhaust heat recovery, four kinds of three-
layer tube heat exchange tube models with the length of 500mm, 800mm, 1100mm and 1400mm are
designed by DM modeling software, and they are simplified into a quarter calculation domain model.
The simulation calculations of the coupling heat exchange of four different lengths of heat exchange
tubes are performed by using the couple algorithm of fluent fluid simulation software and the κ-ε
model. Through the simulation calculation of the heat exchange of the four three-layer heat
exchange tubes, it can be seen that the temperature in the three-layer heat exchange tubes changes
along the Z axis direction. The heat exchange performance of different lengths of heat exchange
tubes can be obtained by analyzing the temperature cloud diagrams of the XY plane at both ends of
the heat exchange tubes and the temperature change curve along the z axis direction. The heat
exchange simulation analysis results of the four three-layer heat exchange tubes show that under
the set parameter model, only the inlet and outlet boundary temperature is considered, and the
three-layer heat exchange tube with a length of 1400mm has better heat exchange performance.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
The heat transfer analysis of an automotive radiator is successfully carried out
using practical simulation built in commercial software ANSYS 18.3.1.
Above Results Shows that heat transfer rate as well as efficiency is increased
as the air mass flow rate increases. With the computational time and resources
available.
In this experimental study of the heat transfer ANALYSIS of a liquid cooling
radiator for vehicles is carried out by using an experimental optimization design
technique on a radiator. The regression equations of heat dissipation rate,
coolant pressure drop and air pressure drop are developed. The influences of
the air velocity, inlet coolant temperature and volume flowrate of coolant on heat
dissipation rate, coolant pressure drop and air pressure drop are discussed in
detail by means of the numerical analyses. Also, the research results provide a
basis for the theoretical and experimental analysis of heat performances and
structural refinement of the tube-and-fin radiator.
