Abstract

Experimental and numerical investigations of turbulent flow and heat transfer have been performed in a concentric annulus between independently rotating tubes. Numerical predictions, applying a Reynolds stress turbulence model, are compared with experimental fluid flow and heat transfer results for the case of a heated outer tube and an adiabatic inner tube. Compared to the above mentioned boundary conditions for the conservation equation of energy, differences in heat transfer in case of a heated inner tube and an adiabatic outer one, are examined by analysis, applying a mixing length turbulence model. Numerical investigations with both kinds of models about the influence of annulus radius ratio make evident that due to different superimpositions of centrifugal force and additional shear stress there is a wide variation of effects on fluid flow and heat transfer caused by the rotation of the inner and the outer tube.
