본 연구의 목적은 고온, 고압 환경에서 사용되는 열교환기의 전열관에서 발생되는 열팽창에 따른 열응력, 진동과 같은 기계적 특성을 개선시키고, 전열부 체적을 최소화시키는 관점에서 실험계획법을 이용하여 구불구불한 관 형상에 대하여 형상최적화를 수행하였다. S-관 형상에 대하여 부분별 용도를 제시하였고, 형상 최적화를 위해서 형상변수 및 범위를 정한 후, 유한요소해석을 수행하여 형상변수에 따른 구조적 특성을 평가하였고, 요인배치법을 이용하여 형상변수의 주효과를 분석한 후, 반응표면법(Response surface Methodology)을 이용하여 회귀방정식을 구하고, 최적화 툴을 이용하여 최적화를 수행하였다.
The aim of this study was to optimize S-tube shape of heat exchanger in term of reducing the size of tube bundle and improving the mechanical properties such as the thermal stress and resonance. The geometric parameters such as offset length, the straight distance between one end and other end of tube, the tube length in straight portion and fillet radius was assessed as a valid parameters. The structural analysis was performed to estimate the structural characteristics. Main effect analysis was performed to investigate the main effect for the various geometric parameters. The response surface methodology was employed to establish mathematical approximation models as a function of the geometric parameters of the S-tube. Also, The optimization was performed to optimize geometric parameters of S-tube using the regression equations and optimization tool. The optimized tube shape has been proposed. Those could be used in the heat exchanger design used in high temperature.
