Unsteady gas-dynamic phenomena in pipelines of complex configuration are widespread in heat exchange and power equipment. Therefore, studying the heat transfer level of pulsating air flows in round and triangular pipes with different turbulence intensities is a relevant and significant task for the development of science and technology. The studies were conducted on a laboratory stand based on the thermal anemometry method and an automated system for collecting and processing experimental data. Rectilinear round and triangular pipes with identical cross-sectional areas were used in the work. Flow pulsations from 3 to 15.8 Hz were generated by means of a rotating flap. The turbulence intensity (TI) of the pulsating flows varied from 0.03 to 0.15 by installing stationary flat turbulators. The working medium was air with a temperature of 22 ± 1 °C moving at a speed from 5 to 75 m/s. It was established that the presence of gas-dynamic unsteadiness leads to an increase in the TI by 47–72% in a round pipe and by 36–86% in a triangular pipe. The presence of gas-dynamic unsteadiness causes a heat transfer intensification in a round pipe by 26–35.5% and by 24–36% in a triangular pipe. It was shown that a significant increase in the TI of pulsating flows leads to an increase in the heat transfer coefficient by 11–16% in a round pipe and a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient by 7–24% in a triangular pipe. The obtained results can be used in the design of heat exchangers and gas exchange systems in power machines, as well as in the creation of devices and apparatuses of pulse action.
