The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of the turbulent swirling flow of air through a heated annulus have been quantified. The motivation for this study was to improve the understanding of flow within a SIROSMELT top submerged industrial smelting lance. Within the lance, helical vane swirler flights are used to impart swirl to a coolant, so that heat transfer from the lance wall to the coolant is enhanced. A review of the literature revealed no information on the mean and turbulent flow structure for swirling flows in a heated annulus. (For complete abstract open document)
