Abstract

Equipment called turbulators are used to increase the efficiency of heat exchangers used in many areas.Turbulators play an active role in increasing the efficiency of heat exchangers. In this study, the use of turbulators to increase the efficiency of heat exchangers was examined by performing thermal analysis.A shell-and-tube exchanger was designed, and SolidWorks flow analysis was performed on turbulator-free and different turbulator systems.The results obtained were presented and interpreted in tables and diagrams.In the study, first the purposes of use of heat exchangers and turbulators were explained, heat transfer rate calculations were made in turbulator-free and turbulator exchangers, and the effect of a newly designed turbulator in increasing heat transfer and efficiency was revealed by using it in the exchanger.As a result, it was shown that the positive effects of turbulator use on heat transfer and efficiency cannot be ignored and the designed turbulator contributed very well to this situation.

Özet

Özet Birçok alanda kullanılan ısı eşanjörlerinin verimliliğini arttırmak için türbülatör adı verilen ekipmanlar kullanılmaktadır. Isı eşanjörlerinin verimini arttırmada türbülatörler etkin role sahiptirler. Bu çalışmada, ısı eşanjörlerinin verimliliğini artırmak için türbülatörlerin kullanımı Isıl analiz yapılarak incelenmiştir. Gövde borulu bir eşanjör tasarlanarak, türbülatörsüz ve farklı türbülatörlü sistemler üzerinde SolidWorks akış analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar tablo ve diyagramlar halinde sunularak yorumlanmıştır. Çalışmada önce ısı eşanjörleri ve türbülatörlerin kullanım amaçları açıklanmış, türbülatörsüz ve türbülatörlü eşanjörlerde ısı transfer hızı hesaplamaları yapılmış ve yeni tasarlanmış bir türbülatöün eşanjör içinde kullanımıyla ısı transferini ve etkinliği artırmadaki etkisi ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuçta, türbülatör kullanımının ısı transferi ve verimlilik üzerindeki olumlu etkilerinin göz ardı edilemeyeceği ve tasarlanan türbülatörün de bu duruma çok iyi katkı sağladığı gösterilmiştir.
