摘要
Cast silicon-aluminum alloys exhibit corrosion resistance and heat transfer characteristics, and can be used as new materials in a condensing gas-water heater. A 3D mathematical model is established, and verified by the experiment, and then the flow and heat transfer characteristics are studied. It is observed the temperature misdistribution of the flue gas resulted from the condensation of water vapor. The temperature drop occurring in the high temperature zone exceeds 80%. Nusselt (Nu) empirical formulas for flue gas and water are obtained for two conditions. When inlet water gauge pressure reaches 0.02 MPa, heat transfer efficiency is the highest.
