The elliptical U-tube heat exchanger (EUTHE) is widely used in various cooling systems of nuclear engineering for its simple geometrical structure and small space cost. In this paper, a two-phase flow field model of an EUTHE is constructed to analyze the flow characteristics in the elbow zone under different structures with the influence mechanism of droplet motion and liquid film distribution. The Taguchi method is used to investigate the influence of heat transfer performance by structural parameters, and the fitted model is analyzed by regression analysis as well as ANOVA to ensure the accuracy of the prediction results.
