HEAT TRANSFER BEHAVIOR OF A PTC RECEIVER TUBE USING TRANSVERSAL FOCAL INSERTS AND CFD

Abstract - The thermohydraulic performance of an enhanced PTC’s tube is evaluated in this paper. A passive method is used by introducing transversal inserts on the bottom part of the receiver. The height of the inserts is investigated using MCRT method coupling FVM for Reynolds number range from 𝟐...
