Natural convection heat transfer in rectangular fin-arrays mounted on a vertical base was investigated experimentally. An
experimental set-up was constructed and calibrated to test 15 different fin configurations. Fin length and fin thickness were
kept fixed at 100 and 3 mm respectively, while fin spacing was varied from 4.5 to 58.75 mm and fin height was varied from
5 to 25 mm. Base-to-ambient temperature difference was also varied through a calibrated wattmeter ranging from 10 to 50 W.
The results showed that fin spacing is the most significant parameter in the performance of fin arrays; and for every fin
height, for a given base-to-ambient temperature difference, there exists an optimum value for the fin spacing for which the
heat transfer rate from the fin array is maximized. It was seen that higher heat transfer enhancement are obtained with vertically
oriented bases than with horizontally oriented bases for fin arrays of the same geometry.

The steady-state natural convection heat transfer from aluminum vertical rectangular fins extending perpendicularly from vertical rectangular base was investigated experimentally. Thirty different fin configurations were tested. Experiments were performed for fin lengths of 250 and 340 mm. Fin thickness was kept fixed at 3 mm. Fin height and fin spacing were varied from 5 to 25 mm and 5.75 to 85.5 mm, respectively. Five heat inputs ranging from 25 to 125 W were supplied for all fin configurations, hence; the base-to-ambient temperature differences were measured in order to evaluate the heat transfer rates from fin arrays. The results of experiments have shown that the convective heat transfer rate from fin arrays depends on geometric parameters and base-to-ambient temperature difference. The separate roles of fin height, fin spacing and base-to-ambient temperature difference were investigated. It was found that, for a given base-to-ambient temperature difference, the convective heat transfer rate from fin arrays takes on a maximum value as a function of fin spacing and fin height and an optimum fin spacing value which maximizes the convective heat transfer rate from the fin array is available for every fin height. These measurements were to extend data obtained earlier from aluminum fin-arrays using the same experimental system and method (Yüncü and Güvenç in Heat Mass Transfer 37:409–416, 2001). Data collated from earlier and present work cover the range of fin spacing from 4.5 to 85.5 mm. The fin length range was from 100 to 340 mm, the fin height from 5 to 25 mm and the number of fins per array 3 to 34. The range of base-to-ambient temperature difference was quite extensive, from 30 to 150 K. These results indicate that the optimum fin spacing is between 6.1 and 11.9 mm, for the fin arrays employed in the earlier and present work. A scale analysis is performed in order to estimate the order-of-magnitude of optimum fin spacing at a given fin length and base-to-ambient temperature difference. From the scale analysis, correlations to evaluate the optimum fin spacing value and the corresponding maximum convective heat transfer rate at a given fin length and base-to-ambient temperature difference were obtained. 相似文献

Experimental investigation of mixed convection heat transfer in a horizontal and inclined rectangular channel 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Mixed convection heat transfer in rectangular channels has been investigated experimentally under various operating conditions.
The lower surface of the channel is subjected to a uniform heat flux, sidewalls are insulated and adiabatic, and the upper
surface is exposed to the surrounding fluid. Experiments were conducted for Pr=0.7, aspect ratios AR=5 and 10, inclination
angles 0° ≤ θ ≤ 30°, Reynolds numbers 50 ≤ Re ≤ 1000, and modified Grashof numbers Gr*=7.0 × 105 to 4.0 × 107. From the parametric study, local Nusselt number distributions were obtained and effects of channel inclination, surface
heat flux and Reynolds number on the onset of instability were investigated. Results related to the buoyancy affected secondary
flow and the onset of instability have been discussed. Some of the results obtained from the experimental measurements are
also compared with the literature, and a good agreement was observed. The onset of instability was found to move upstream
for increasing Grashof number and increasing aspect ratio. On the other hand, onset of instability was delayed for increasing
Reynolds number and increasing inclination angle.

In this study, a numerical investigation has been carried out to reveal the mechanism of fluid flow and heat transfer from
a vertical rectangular fin attached to a partially heated horizontal base. The problem is a conjugate conduction-convection
heat transfer problem with open boundaries. The governing equations for the problem are the conservation of mass, momentum
and energy equations for the fluid and the heat conduction equation for the fin. The control volume technique based on the
SIMPLEC algorithm with a nonstaggerred grid arrangement is employed to solve the governing equations. The effect of the heated
base, on the mechanism of the fluid flow and heat transfer, is numerically investigated. Temperature distribution and flow
patterns around the fin are plotted to support the discussion. Results are obtained for air at laminar and steady flow.

The analytical solution of laminar free convective heat transfer in an unlimited space from an isothermal horizontal ring with an adiabatic plug is presented. The results of theoretical considerations are presented as relation of the Nusselt and Rayleigh numbers: $$Nu_D = 1.151 \cdot (Ra_D )^{1/5} \cdot \Phi (\phi _0 )$$ \] where Φ(φ0) is a function of shape coefficient of the ring (φ0=d/D). The solution presented has been verified experimentally with rings of constant external diameter (D=0.06 [m]) and various internal diameters (d=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.05 [m]). The fluid tested was glycerin. The theoretical predictions agree well with the experimental results. 相似文献

This paper deals with an experimental study of free convective heat transfer from fins and fin arrays attached to a heated horizontal base. The technique of differential interferometry has been utilised and experiments have been carried out under steady state conditions. Local values of heat flux, temperature, heat transfer coefficients, local and overall Nusselt numbers have been estimated. An attempt has been made to discuss in detail the flow and heat transfer mechanisms for three cases namely an isothermal vertical flat plate, a single fin attached to a heated horizontal base and a fin array in the light of the experimental findings. Correlations are presented relating the overall Nusselt number with the relevant non-dimensional parameters in these cases.Diese Abhandlung beschäftigt sich mit einer experimentellen Studie über freie konvektive Wärmeübertragung von Rippen und Rippenfeldern, die an eine erwärmte horizontale Grundfläche angebracht sind. Es wurde die Technik der differentiellen Interferometrie verwendet. Die Versuche sind unter konstanten Zustandsbedingungen ausgeführt worden. Lokale Werte des Wärmestroms, der Temperatur, des Wärmeübertragungskoeffizienten sowie lokale und mittlere Nusseltzahlen sind bestimmt worden. Der Strömungs- und Wärmeübertragungsmechanismus wurde an drei Fällen detailliert untersucht: nämlich eine isotherme vertikale ebene Platte; eine einzelne Rippe, angebracht an einer beheizten horizontalen Grundfläche und ein dem Strahlengang entsprechend angeordnetes Rippenfeld. Für diese drei Fälle werden die Berechnungen der mittleren Nusseltzahl in Abhängigkeit der relevanten dimensionslosen Parameter dargestellt. 相似文献

This paper presents results of the experimental study conducted on heated horizontal rectangular fin array under natural convection. The temperature mapping and the prediction of the flow patterns over the fin array with variable fin spacing is carried out. Dimensionless fin spacing to height (S/H) ratio is varied from 0.05 to 0.3 and length to height ratio (L/H) = 5 is kept constant. The heater input to the fin array assembly is varied from 25 to 100 W. The single chimney flow pattern is observed from 8 to 12 mm fin spacing. The end flow is choked below 6 mm fin spacing. The single chimney flow pattern changes to sliding or end flow choking at 6 mm fin spacing. The average heat transfer coefficient (ha) is very small (2.52–5.78 W/m2 K) at 100 W for S = 5–12 mm. The ha is very small (1.12–1.8 W/m2 K) at 100 W for 2–4 mm fin spacing due to choked fin array end condition. The end flow is not sufficient to reach up to central portion of fin array and in the middle portion there is an unsteady down and up flow pattern resulting in sliding chimney. The central bottom portion of fin array channel does not contribute much in heat dissipation for S = 2–4 mm. The ha has significantly improved at higher spacing as compared to lower spacing region. The single chimney flow pattern is preferred from heat transfer point of view. The optimum spacing is confirmed in the range of 8–10 mm. The average heat transfer results are compared with previous literature and showed similar trend and satisfactory agreement. An empirical equation has been proposed to correlate the average Nusselt number as a function of Grashof number and fin spacing to height ratio. The average error for this equation is ?0.32 %. 相似文献

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal horizontal cylinder in the presence of DC positive corona discharge with a blade edge emitter electrode has been studied experimentally and numerically. A Mach–Zehnder interferometer was used to determine the local Nusselt numbers. The effect of corona discharge on heat transfer from the cylinder was investigated at Rayleigh numbers in the range between 1500 and 5000. To find the details of the flow patterns and to further verify the experimental results, numerical simulations were also performed. It was found that the numerical results are in good agreement with experimental data. By increasing the applied voltage up to 15.5 kV, the corona discharge generates a recirculation zone around the blade and below the lower stagnation point of the cylinder. The effect of the recirculation zone becomes stronger near the breakdown voltage (17 kV) and it is responsible for a local decrease in the cooling of the cylinder around the lower stagnation point. The results indicate that corona discharge has a significant effect on the average Nusselt number at lower Rayleigh numbers whereas it has smaller effect at higher Rayleigh numbers. 相似文献

The heat transfer and friction characteristics of the heat exchangers having sinusoidal wave fins were experimentally investigated.
Twenty-nine samples having different waffle heights (1.5 and 2.0 mm), fin pitches (1.3–1.7 mm) and tube rows (1–3) were tested.
Focus was given to the effect of waffle configuration (herringbone or sinusoidal) on the heat transfer and friction characteristics.
Results show that the sinusoidal wave geometry provides higher heat transfer coefficients and friction factors than the herringbone
wave geometry, and the difference increases as the number of row increases. The j/f ratios of the herringbone wave geometry, however, are larger than those of the sinusoidal wave geometry. Compared with the
herringbone wave geometry, the sinusoidal wave geometry yielded a weak row effect, which suggests a superior heat transfer
performance at the fully developed flow region for the sinusoidal wave geometry. Possible reasoning is provided considering
the flow characteristics in wavy channels. Within the present geometric variations, the effect of waffle height on the heat
transfer coefficient was not prominent. The effect of fin pitch was also negligible. Existing correlations highly overpredicted
both the heat transfer coefficients and friction factors. A new correlation was developed based on the present data. 相似文献

Experimental work has been carried out on horizontal fin arrays using the differential interferometric technique. The local variations of heat flux and temperature in the central fin of a three fin array have been studied in the transient heating and cooling regimes. The average values of heat transfer coefficients in the transient state have been calculated for three spacings of 10 mm, 15 mm and 25 mm and with two materials namely aluminum and mild steel under constant heat input to the system. The results have been compared with experimental findings in the cases of a single fin attached to a base and a vertical isothermal flat plate. Attempt has been made to explain the differences between these cases in relation to the physical mechanism of heat and fluid flow about a fin array.
Eine experimentelle Untersuchung der Wärmeübertragung bei instationärer freier Konvektion an horizontalen Rippenanordnungen
Zusammenfassung Unter Anwendung der Differential-Interferometrie-Technik wurde eine experimentelle Arbeit auf dem Gebiet horizontaler Anordnungen von Kühlrippen durchgeführt. Die lokale Veränderung von Wärmestrom und Temperatur der mittleren Rippe einer Dreieranordnung wurde an transienten Heiz- und Kühlbereichen untersucht. Im transienten Zustand wurden die Durchschnittswerte der Wärmeübertragungskoeffizienten bei konstanter Wärmezuführ in das System für Aluminium und Flußstahl bei Zwischenräumen von 10 mm, 15 mm und 20 mm berechnet. Die Berechnungen wurden mit experimentellen Ergebnissen einer einzigen, auf einer Basis befestigten Rippe und einer vertikalen isothermen flachen Platte verglichen. Es wurde der Versuch gemacht, den Unterschied zwischen diesen Fällen, in bezug auf den physikalischen Mechanismus der Wärmeübertragung und Strömung über eine Rippenanordnung, zu erklären.相似文献

Heat transfer characteristics passing through the maximum density point around a horizontal ice cylinder immersed in water was studied both theoretically and experimentally. For the sake of a precise comparison, the stagnation point Nusselt number was measured and results then compared with those of the numerical computations that were obtained by solving the full Navier-Stokes equations. A fairly good agreement was seen between the theory and the experiment.At about 6°C of water temperature where the stagnation Nusselt number takes its minimum value, the instability of the flow was observed. It was found that two different computer solutions exist, which shows unstable aspects corresponding to the experimental result. 相似文献

Natural convection heat transfers inside horizontal pipes were measured. The Rayleigh numbers were varied from 6.8 × 108 to 1.5 × 1012, while the Prandtl number was fixed at 2,094. Based on the analogy concept, a copper sulfate electroplating system was adopted to measure mass transfer rates in place of heat transfer rates. Test results using single-piece electrodes were in good agreement with the work of Sarac and Korkut. The angle-dependent mass transfer rates, measured using piecewise electrodes, were compared with the results of studies on natural convection in concentric annuli, and showed similar trends. The experiments were expanded to the turbulent region, and a transition criterion was proposed. Angle-dependent natural convection heat transfer correlations for the laminar and turbulent regions were derived. 相似文献

Results are presented of an experimental investigation of the convective plume above a fine horizontal wire, heated by a constant current in air and in water. The temperature distribution in the plume was investigated using the IAB-451 shadow instrument in the diffraction interferometry method. The experimental results are in good agreement with laminar convection theories above a linear heat source. In the air, a comparison was made with the experimental results of other authors.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhicheskoi Fiziki, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 169–173, March–April, 1970.The author wishes to express his indebtedness to V.

Natural convection heat transfer phenomena on horizontal cylinders were investigated experimentally in order to explore the
applicability of analogy experimental method using the copper electroplating system and to visualize the local heat transfer
depending on the angular position and the diameter of the horizontal cylinder. The diameters of the cylinders are varied from
0.01 to 0.15 m, which correspond to the Rayleigh numbers of 1.73 × 107–5.69 × 1011. The measured mass transfer coefficients show good agreements with the existing heat transfer correlations. The patterns
of copper plated on the aluminum cathodes for various Rayleigh numbers reveal and visualize the local heat transfer depending
on the angular position and show good agreement with the works of Kitamura et al. The hydrogen bubbles produced at higher
applied potential visualize the plumes appeared on top region of the cylinders. 相似文献

In the present study, an experimental investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of buoyancy-driven flow
in horizontal and inclined annuli bounded by concentric tubes has been carried out. The annulus inner surface is maintained
at high temperature by applying heat flux to the inner tube while the annulus outer surface is maintained at low temperature
by circulating cooling water at high mass flow rate around the outer tube. The experiments were carried out at a wide range
of Rayleigh number (5 × 104 < Ra < 5 × 105) for different annulus gap widths (L/D
o = 0.23, 0.3, and 0.37) and different inclination of the annulus (α = 0°, 30° and 60°). The results showed that: (1) increasing
the annulus gap width strongly increases the heat transfer rate, (2) the heat transfer rate slightly decreases with increasing
the inclination of the annulus from the horizontal, and (3) increasing Ra increases the heat transfer rate for any L/D
o and at any inclination. Correlations of the heat transfer enhancement due to buoyancy driven flow in an annulus has been
developed in terms of Ra, L/D
o and α. The prediction of the correlation has been compared with the present and previous data and fair agreement was found. 相似文献

Experimental investigations have been reported on steady state natural convection from the outer surface of vertical rectangular and square ducts in air. Seven ducts have been used; three of them have a rectangular cross section and the rest have square cross section. The ducts are heated using internal constant heat flux heating elements. The temperatures along the vertical surface and the peripheral directions of the duct wall are measured. Axial (perimeter averaged) heat transfer coefficients along the side of each duct are obtained for laminar and transition to turbulent regimes of natural convection heat transfer. Axial (perimeter averaged) Nusselt numbers are evaluated and correlated using the modified Rayleigh numbers for laminar and transition regime using the vertical axial distance as a characteristic length. Critical values of the modified Rayleigh numbers are obtained for transition to turbulent. Furthermore, total overall averaged Nusselt numbers are correlated with the modified Rayleigh numbers and the area ratio for the laminar regimes. The local axial (perimeter averaged) heat transfer coefficients are observed to decrease in the laminar region and increase in the transition region. Laminar regimes are obtained at the lower half of the ducts and its chance to appear decreases as the heat flux increases. 相似文献
