To investigate the effects of dimple spacing, number, radius, and the depth of elliptical internal ribs on heat transfer and resistance factor, numerical simulation and central composite design were adopted, and a polynomial basis function was used to establish the model of a dimple tube with annular elliptical internal ribs. The variation laws of Nusselt number, friction coefficient, and comprehensive performance evaluation criterion were analyzed using the Box-Behnken response surface methodology.By comparing the predicted values of the model with the actual numerical simulation results in simulation experiments, the average relative errors of the predicted and actual values for the Nu and friction coefficient f were obtained as -0.928 3%and 5.683%respectively, both within 10%, verifying the accuracy of the model predictions.The results show that the error of the Nu is 2.148%, the error of the friction coefficient f is -6.78%, and the error of the comprehensive performance evaluation criterion PEC (performance evaluation criterion) is 0.9%.When taking Nu as the optimization objective, Nu is maximally increased by 28.06%compared with the control model; when taking f as the optimization objective, f is maximally reduced by 13.31%; when taking PEC as the optimization objective, PEC is maximally improved by 29.757%.The optimal parameter combinations under different response objectives are obtained by response surface optimization. The optimized parameter combination enhances the overall heat transfer performance by 29.75%, and the accuracy of the results is verified by regression equations.

采用BBD实验设计方法构建的46组样本试验数据如表4所展示,其中一组以R=3 mm、N=5、P=40 mm、H=2.5作为基准对照组。针对这46组试验,利用三维建模软件Solid Works 2021构建相应的物理模型,并将模型导入计算流体动力学仿真软件Fluent中进行数值模拟,以获取各模型的目标响应值。随后,将这些响应值输入Design Expert软件进行数据处理,以便进行后续的定性分析。
3 结果分析
3.1 响应面的方差分析
根据表5所示的Nu多项式模型方差分析(analysis of variance,ANOVA)结果,模型的F=173.47,此值显著性水平高,表明模型误差极小。进一步分析显示,当P<0.1时,回归方程具有统计学意义。表5中,A、B、C、D、E、AC、CE、A2、C2的P值均小于0.1,这表明模型失拟不显著,从而反映出模型具有较高的拟合度。${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{A}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{j}}^{2}$值代表模型的拟合优度,而${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}}^{2}$值代表模型对预测样本的精确度。当R2与${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{A}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{j}}^{2}$、${\mathit{R}}_{\mathrm{P}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}}^{2}$<0.2时,模型的预测结果被认为具有较高的可靠性。
