自然对流对横纹管内湍流对流传热的影响

以熔盐为传热工质,对考虑熔盐自然对流情况下横纹管内的流动传热进行了数值模拟。结果表明:同一Re数,横纹管内下侧Nu数大于上侧Nu数,随着Re数的增加,管内下侧Nu数与上侧Nu数的差值逐渐减小。考虑自然对流影响的横纹管内平均Nu数与不考虑自然对流影响的横纹管内平均Nu数基本相等。强制对流的Re数越低,自然对流对横纹管单侧传热影响越明显。横纹管槽宽越小,槽深越深,自然对流对单侧传热影响相对越小。通过非线性拟合,分别得出横纹管内下侧传热Nudown/Nuave-b、上侧传热Nuup/Nuave-b与浮升力参数Bo的关联式。

Triple convective flow of micropolar nanofluids in double lid-driven enclosures partially filled with LTNE porous layer under effects of an inclined magnetic field

In this paper, free, forced and Marangoni convective flows within an open enclosure partially filled with a porous medium under impacts of an inclined magnetic field are investigated. The forced convection is due to the movement of the side walls, the free convection induces from the heated part in the bottom wall and the Marangoni convection is a responsible on the thermal interaction at the free surface (top wall). The flow domain is partially heated from below and partially filled by a porous medium. The local thermal non-equilibrium model (LTNEM) is used to represent the thermal field in the porous layer (bottom layer) while the two-phase model is used to simulated the micropolar nanofluid behavior. Two cases based on the direction of the movement of the side walls are considered, namely, assisting flow (downward lid motion) and opposing flow (upward lid motion). Numerical analysis based on the finite volume method is conducted and the obtained are presented in terms of the streamlines, isotherms, angular velocity, and the cup-mixing temperature θ_cup, the bulk-averaged temperature θ_ave and the average Nusselt numbers. The controlling parameters, in this situation, are the Darcy number Da, the Marangoni number Ma, the Nield number H, the vortex viscosity Δ, the Biot number Bi and the Hartmann number Ha. The results revealed that the increase in the Nield number enhances the cup-mixing temperature θ_cupand bulk-averaged temperature θ_ave regardless the direction of the side walls motion. Also, the average Nusselt number is boosted as the Marangoni number is grown.     

Numerical prediction of heat transfer by natural convection and radiation in an enclosure filled with an isotropic scattering medium

This paper deals with the numerical solution for natural convection and volumetric radiation in an isotropic scattering medium within a heated square cavity using a hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann method (HTLBM). The multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM) has been coupled to the finite difference method (FDM) to solve momentum and energy equations, while the discrete ordinates method (DOM) has been adopted to solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) using the S8 quadrature. Based on these approaches, the effects of various influencing parameters such as the Rayleigh number (Ra), the wall emissivity (ε_ι), the Planck number (Pl), and the scattering albedo (ω), have been considered. The results presented in terms of isotherms, streamlines and averaged Nusselt number, show that in absence of radiation, the temperature and the flow fields are centro-symmetrics and the cavity core is thermally stratified. However, radiation causes an overall increase in the temperature and velocity gradients along both thermally active walls. The maximum heat transfer rate is obtained when the surfaces of the enclosure walls are regarded as blackbodies. It is also seen that the scattering medium can generate a multicellular flow.     

Turbulent periodic flow and heat transfer in a rectangular channel with detached V-baffles

This paper presents a numerical analysis of turbulent periodic flow and heat transfer in a rectangular channel with detached V-baffles. The computations are based on the finite volume method with the SIMPLE algorithm for handling the pressure–velocity coupling and using the QUICK scheme for the convection terms. Air is used as the test fluid with the air flow rate in terms of Reynolds numbers ranging from 3000 to 20,000. The effects of different detached-clearance ratios (c/H, CR) of 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2, baffles-pitch to square channel-diameter ratio (pitch ratio (p/H), PR) is 1.0, baffles-height to square channel-diameter ratio (blockage ratio (b/H), BR) is 0.10, and attack angle (α) is 45? on heat transfer, friction factor and thermal enhancement factor are investigated numerically. It is found that a pair of counter-rotating vortices (P-vortex) caused by the baffles can induce impingement/attachment flows repeatedly on the rectangular channel walls leading to a greater increase in the heat transfer over the test channel. The maximum thermal performance and heat transfer are found to be about 1.5 and 3.3, respectively for CR = 0.05 and Re = 3000, while the highest pressure loss is about 21.5 in the case of CR = 0.2 and Re = 20,000.     

Optimum convective heat transfer coefficient for diode-pumped laser slabs

It is important for laser designers to study the characteristics of heat transfer from the laser crystal slab to the coolant in high-power DPSS laser operations. We have simulated and obtained the optimum heat transfer coefficient and coolant flow rate for our cavity design, in which the circulating coolant is maintained at a constant temperature. It has been determined that the coolant temperature and the convective heat transfer coefficient (h) are important parameters in the thermal analysis. The coefficient h is affected by the coolant flow rate, the physical properties of the laser slab and the coolant and the pumping cavity geometry. Using analytical heat transfer equation, for cooling water temperature of 300 K, the optimum flow rate for our cavity geometry is found to be 390 cm³/s, corresponding to h=5 W/cm² K.

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.

A molecular dynamics simulation of nanoscale convective heat transfer with the effect of axial heat conduction

Effective heat dissipation from nano-fluidic devices is sometimes necessary to ensure their performance and lifespan. In the molecular dynamics simulation of nanoscale convective heat transfer, thermostats cannot be directly applied to the fluid because of the non-uniform temperature distribution. Periodic boundary is typically utilised, but unrealistic axial heat conduction exists when there is a temperature difference between the outlet and images of inlet atoms. In this paper, the effect of axial conduction caused by periodic boundary is investigated through the Péclet number (Pe). Taking viscous dissipation into consideration, the magnitude of outlet thermal diffusion is observed to decrease with increasing Pe. The local average temperature of fluid changes in an exponential form except in the region close to the outlet. Results show that the contribution of outlet axial conduction to the local average temperature is less than 2.0% when Pe > 10. The main reason is that the magnitude of fluid velocity and viscous heat dissipation in nanochannels is much larger than that in macro-channels at the same Péclet number.     

End-wall errors in temperature measurement of external convective heat transfer with Moiré deflectometry

Moiré deflectometry is a robust and simple optical method that allows obtaining the temperature field in flows with uniform pressure and two-dimensional and axisymmetric flows. Since in real configurations it is not possible to keep exactly the hypothesis of two-dimensional flow, it is necessary to asses this influence. Therefore this work studies a procedure to estimate the errors due to the end-wall and 3-D effects when Moiré deflectometry is used for measuring the temperature field of an external convective heat transfer flow with free edges.According to the value of the parameter Gr/Re², results show two tendencies. The error in temperature measurement is smaller than 1% for ratios of thermal boundary layer thickness to the test field width lower than 0.4, in turbulent forced convection flows for temperature differences of 40 K. Temperature effects are significative, multiplying the error by two for a temperature difference 50% greater. These results enable researchers to evaluate the errors of this measurement technique associated with the end-wall effect.
