Natural and forced convective heat transfer on slender cylinders

This paper presents an experimental study of free and forced convective heat transfer along vertical slender cylinders. The local heat transfer coefficient is determined from the measurement of the surface temperature distribution performed by quantitative infrared thermography. It is found that the convective heat transfer is strongly dependent on the cylinder curvature and misalignment with the flow. The effect of proximity of two cylinders is emphasized in the case of forced convection. Correlations are proposed for the two types of convection. It is worth noting that circumstances exist where the turbulent heat transfer in free convection can be of the same order of magnitude as for laminar forced convection. The outcome of the study demonstrates the suitability of quantitative infrared thermography to solve complex problems and to provide a deeper understanding of the heat transfer on slender cylinders.

Characterization of acoustic streaming and heating using synchronized infrared thermography and particle image velocimetry

Real-time measurements of acoustic streaming velocities and surface temperature fields using synchronized particle image velocimetry and infrared thermography are reported. Measurements were conducted using a 20 kHz Langevin type acoustic horn mounted vertically in a model sonochemical reactor of either degassed water or a glycerin-water mixture. These dissipative phenomena are found to be sensitive to small variations in the medium viscosity, and a correlation between the heat flux and vorticity was determined for unsteady convective heat transfer.     

Thermographic investigation of some surface flow patterns

Infrared (IR) thermography, due to its two-dimensionality and non-contact character, can be usefully employed in a vast variety of heat transfer industrial applications as well as research fields. The present work deals with measurements of temperature and/or convective heat transfer coefficients in several types of fluid flow configurations studied by means of the IR scanning radiometer applied to the heated-thin-foil technique. In more details, it is analysed the capability of the infrared system to study particular phenomena such as: the heat transfer, including the spiral vortical structures developing at transition, over a disk rotating in still air; the thermal exchange enhancement induced by a jet centrally impinging on the rotating disk; the complex heat transfer pattern associated with a jet in cross-flow.     

Wall heat transfer in static and rotating 180° turn channels by quantitative infrared thermography

The aim of the present study is to develop a new experimental methodology that allows one to perform accurate measurements of the local heat transfer distribution before, in, and after a 180° sharp turn in static and rotating channels. Preliminary measurements of convective heat transfer coefficients are performed by means of infrared thermography applied to the steady state ‘heated-thin-foil’ technique. Some preliminary results in terms of Nusselt number Nu distributions and profile, as well as averaged Nu profiles along the channel axis, are presented. Results prove that infrared thermography is capable of measuring heat flux coefficients and detecting particular phenomena linked to the fluid flow configuration such as location of separation bubbles, influence of the channel aspect ratio as well as the influence of the channel rotation.     

Experimental characterization of the convective heat transfer in a vortex-wall interaction

The development of turbulence models and wall laws for the numerical simulation of flows in complex geometries requires a detailed experimental analysis of turbulence and of the phenomena that appear in turbulent boundary layers. There is a strong need to develop new measurement systems allowing the determination of unsteady wall heat transfer coefficients. In order to improve the knowledge of the unsteady phenomena occurring in perturbed boundary layers, a fundamental study is conducted on the interaction of a single vortex with a flat plate. An experimental methodology using a specific thermal sensor whose surface temperature is measured by an infrared thermography system is presented. It allows the characterization of the unsteady convective heat transfer coefficient whose evolution is compared with the fluctuations of the wall friction coefficient, calculated from velocity profiles measured by laser Doppler velocimetry.     

高温吸热管内超临界CO2传热特性的数值模拟

研究超临界CO2在高温吸热管内的传热特性是将其应用于聚光太阳能热发电技术中的基础.本文对此进行了数值模拟研究,分析了流体温度、流动方向、系统压力、质量流率和热流密度对对流传热系数和Nu数的影响.结果表明:高温区(800—1050 K)的对流传热系数和Nu数受流动方向和系统压力的影响均很小,但都随着质量流率的增大以及热流密度的减小而明显增大;而随着流体温度的升高,对流传热系数近似线性增大,Nu数则近似线性减小.另外,本文研究发现在高温区可忽略浮升力对传热的影响,而由高热流密度引起的流动加速效应会明显恶化传热.最后,选取了八种管内超临界流体传热关联式与模拟结果进行对比,发现使用基于热物性修正的关联式对高温区传热数据预测的结果优于使用基于无量纲数修正的关联式得到的结果,且其中预测效果最优的关联式得到的计算结果与模拟结果之间的平均绝对相对偏差为8.1%.     

Numerical modeling of the effect of number of electrodes on natural convection in an EHD fluid

Numerical modeling of the electrohydrodynamic effect on natural convection in enclosures is investigated. The interactions between electric field, flow field, and temperature field are analyzed by using the computational fluid dynamics technique. Flow pattern and temperature distribution are substantially affected by the voltage supplied at the wire electrodes, especially at low Rayleigh number. It can be concluded that the fluid velocity and heat transfer coefficient in the presence of an electric field are significantly increased with when a large number of electrodes is used. Surprisingly, a minimum value of augmented heat transfer occurs with an intermediate number of electrodes. The optimized condition between the aspect ratio of an enclosure and number of electrodes which leads to maximum heat transfer enhancement is expressed in terms of the parameters concerned.     

Thermomagnetic natural convection of thermo-sensitive magnetic fluids in cubic cavity with heat generating object inside

Experiment and numerical study were conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a thermo-sensitive magnetic fluid (TSMF) filled in a cubic container with a heat generating square cylinder stick inside and under a uniform magnetic field. The experimental results show that, regardless of the heat generating object sizes, the heat transfer characteristic of the TSMF is enhanced when the magnetic field is applied to the TSMF. However, the heat transfer of the TSMF becomes poor as the size of the inside heat generating object increases because the space where the fluids go through becomes narrower and the flow is obstructed when the heat generating object size becomes bigger. Numerical simulation based on the Lattice Boltzmann method confirmed the experimental findings, and disclosed more flow details of the natural convection of the TSMF inside cavity.

Convective heat transfer flow of nanofluid in a porous medium over wavy surface

In this letter, water base nanofluid flow over wavy surface in a porous medium of spherical packing beds is investigated. The copper oxides particles are taken into account. These properties are rehabilitated when fluid interacts with porous walls. For porous medium, Dupuit–Forchheimer model; an extension of Darcy's law model is utilized. The natures of velocity and temperature profiles of nanofluid are discussed graphically whereas the values of convection heat transfer coefficient in the presence of different nanoparticles concentrations in porous medium is presented in tabular form. The obtained results illustrate that convection heat transfer is improved by nanoparticles concentration but reduces when fluid attract to pores structured medium. On the other hand, when particles are added in fluid, convection heat transfer rate is improved but flow velocity is declined.

Natural convection in a fluid with nonuniformly distributed volumetric heat generation

Characteristics of natural convection are analyzed for a heat-generating fluid in an enclosure cooled from the side, with nonuniformly distributed internal heat sources. A theoretical analysis based on analytical estimates and direct numerical simulations is presented. Under certain conditions, the characteristics of natural convection are found to be independent of the details of heat source distribution in horizontal cross sections of the flow domain. The corresponding distributions of bulk temperature and heat transfer to the wall are uniquely determined by the vertical distribution of the horizontally averaged heat source strength.     

Axisymmetric convection flow of fractional Maxwell fluid past a vertical cylinder with velocity slip and temperature jump

A novel finite volume method is developed to investigate the axisymmetric convection flow and heat transfer of fractional viscoelastic fluid past a vertical cylinder. Fractional cylindrical governing equations are formulated by fractional Maxwell model and generalized Fourier's law. The velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions are considered across the fluid-solid interface. Numerical results are validated by exact solutions of special case with source terms. The effects of fractional derivative parameter and boundary condition parameters on flow and heat transfer characteristics are discussed. The viscoelastic fluid performs evident shear thickening property in the fractional Maxwell constitutive relation. Moreover, the boundary condition parameters have remarkable influence on velocity and temperature distributions.
