Convection carrierTubes turbulent L2

Created Wednesday 13 Juni 2018

A model used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient for a convection at longitudinal tubes (carrier tubes) according to VDI-Wärmeatlas [1] chapter Gd1. This model usually used for convection at flat walls is calculating more appropriate vales for the heat transfer coefficient than Convection carrierTubes laminar L2.

1. Purpose of Model


A model used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient for a laminar or turbulent flow at longitudinal tubes (carrier tubes) according to VDI-Wärmeatlas [1] chapter Gd1. This model usually used for convection at flat walls is calculating more appropriate vales for the heat transfer coefficient than Convection carrierTubes laminar L2.

2. Level of Detail, Physical Effects Considered and Physical Insight


2.1 Level of Detail


Referring to Brunnemann et al. [2], this model refers to the level of detail L2.

3. Limits of Validity


According to [1] this model is valid for Reynolds numbers in the range of 10¹ < Re < 10⁷ and for Prandtl numbers between 0.6 < Pr < 2000

4. Interfaces


4.1 Physical Connectors

5. Nomenclature


6. Governing Equations


The mean temperature difference is defined as follows, based on the user's choice in the boolean parameter temperature difference:

Please note that for the choice temperatureDifference="Logarithmic mean" a number of means is applied to make the equation regular also for zero heat flow and reversing heat flows. If an unsupported string for temperatureDifference is provided an assert would raise.

The mean velocity of the gas is calculated as follows:

The characteristic length is calculated as follows:

With the velocity, the characteristic length, dynamic viscosity and density the Reynolds number is calculated:

The Nusselt numbers are calculated with Reynolds and Prandtl number:




The heat transfer coefficient is then calculated as follows:


7. Remarks for Usage


Usage inside limits of validity recommended.
