The Research of the Exergy Transfer Characteristic in the Process of Steady Heat Conduction during Constant-Section Straight Ribs

The ribs have been used to raise the area of convection heat transfer and consume little material simultaneously. This article adopt the analyze method of exergy transfer, with the help of gained temperature distribution in the constant-section straight ribs, derived the equation of the exergy distribution and the coefficient of exergy transfer distribution, with pay more attention to the rules of the energy quality decaying during the process of heat transfer in ribs. The solving results have been acquired in the Aluminium ribs and steel ribs with the case of same geometric parameter and same temperature parameter. The results show that the temperature, exergy value and the coefficient of exergy transfer is descending along the length direction of ribs. The parameter of Aluminium ribs is greater than the steel ribs because of the different property.
