Effect of hydraulic non-uniformities on the efficiency of liquid metal heat exchangers

Description

The study deals with the efficiency of liquid metal heat exchangers as a random value depending on laws of coolant flow rate distribution in tubes and intertube space. Simple formulas by which the heat exchanger efficiency decrease can be estimated for given flow rate variations and type of distribution laws are obtained for some particular cases. In the general case the hydraulic non-uniformity parameter is employed and the evaluation is performed for a fixed value of the tube equivalent bending. An essential effect of hydraulic non-uniformity in intertube space and tubes on the efficiency of counter flow liquid metal heat exchangers is confirmed
