EXCHANGERS
Expansion: Spiral tubes of 120 mm nominal gauge length and provisional φid = 3.0 mm substitute conventional, parallel tubes with a view (a) to exploiting internal secondary flows and associated enhancement of mass/heat transfer between boundary layer and free stream (b) achieving enhanced heat transfer between external surfaces and combustion products. Quantitative information on combustion-side NTU and working-gas-side NTU value are unavailable. In compensation, the multiple-spiral feature affords unprecedented flexibility* in varying both NTU values, and offers the possibility of eliminating the NTU mis-match normally tolerated as inevitable.
