| Summary: | The effects of curvature ratios on heat transfer and flow characteristics based on multi-sensor technique for the multi-layer winding hoses are studied. A multi-sensor–based experimental platform is established. The working fluid is oil and the multi-layer winding hoses are produced by winding a 13.00 mm diameter hydraulic hose on a reel from 1 to 12 turns. Experiments on different curvature ratios for the multi-layer winding hose with constant wall temperature are presented. A k–ε standard model has been applied to present the simulations on heat transfer and turbulent flow. In order to solve this model, a finite volume method has been used. The simulation results are compared with the experimental results. The simulation results and experimental results are in the similar varying trends. The effects of centrifugal force in the multi-layer winding hose on heat transfer and pressure drop have been discussed. |
