Heat transfer of a U-bend in a cross flow of air at different angles of incidence.

Type of article: Article

Summary

It was found that the U-bend had maximum external heat transfer rate when the external air flow velocity vector was nearly parallel to the bend plane (angle-of-incidence equals 0°). As the angle of incidence increased, the external heat transfer coefficient decreased. As the angle of incidence approached 90°, the external heat transfer coefficient asymptoted to the value for corresponding flow over a circular cylinder of the same outer diameter.
