Abstract

There is roughness in the heat exchange equipment of power plants. Artificial roughness is used to intensify heat transfer, natural roughness is formed during the operation of heat exchange equipment. The article presents a model for the description of the mechanical interaction of a turbulent flow with a rough wall. The model is based on the most well-established experimentally confirmed facts. A new parameter has been introduced, the roughness shape factor Fr, which physically determines the speed level in the zone of the boundary with a rough wall. The numerical value of the shape factor depends on the shape and geometry of the roughness projections. The hydraulic characteristic of a channel with arbitrary roughness depends not only on the number of Re and the relative height of the protrusions Δ/d, but also on the value of the shape factor Fr. Using the model, a equation for calculating the coefficient of hydraulic resistance of pipes with sand roughness on the wall in all areas of the turbulent flow of the coolant is obtained. For a wide range of relative heights of projections, the difference from the experimental data of I. Nikuradze does not exceed 5 %. A recommendation has been developed for calculating, in the first approximation, the coefficient of hydraulic resistance of pipes with natural roughness. The analysis of the existing calculation formulas for channels with artificial roughness was carried out, which showed the need for additional research.
