Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:23.44(Nuclear Science & Technology)This study aims at clarifying a relationship between non-isothermal fluid mixing in a T-junction area with 90-deg bend upstream and temperature fluctuations induced by the unstable mixing, by visualizing the flow fields with particle image velocimetry and measuring fluid-temperature fluctuation in the vicinity of a wall. By the experiment, flow-pattern of the jet flowing out from a branch pipe and characteristics of temperature fluctuation in mixing area were clarified in relation to the secondary flow generated in the 90-deg bend.

In this study, non-isothermal fluid mixing experiments in a T-junction area with a 90-degree bend upstream were carried out to estimate the fluid-temperature fluctuation in the vicinity of wall. The temperature fluctuations for various flow mixing conditions were measured, changing a velocity ratio and a pipe diameter ratio of a main pipe to a branch pipe to quantitatively evaluate the effect of a secondary flow on the temperature fluctuation. In addition, by analyzing both the visualization data taken by a PIV system and the temperature fluctuation data, it was attempted to construct a prediction formula for the temperature fluctuation.
