Heat transfer with laminar pulsating flow in a pipe

The problem of heat transfer from a cylindrical pipe is formulated for a case where the flow inside the pepe consists of a periodic motion imposed on a fully developed steady laminar flow. It is shown that the velocity pulsations induce harmonic oscillations in temperature thus breaking the temperature field into a steady mean part and a harmonic part. The interaction between the velocity and temperature oscillations introduces an extra term in the energy equation which reflects the effect of pulsations in producing higher heat transfer rates.

Experimental investigation on the thermal protective performance of nonwoven fabrics made of high-performance fibers

In this study, the thermal protective performance of nonwoven fabrics made of Nomex (polyisophthaloyl metaphenylene diamine), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), P84 (polyimide), and basalt fibers was investigated. The objective was to determine the influence of fiber type, thickness of fabric, and wet on the thermal protective performance of nonwoven fabric. The thermal resistances of different nonwoven fabrics were measured using a dry hot plate instrument, the basalt nonwoven fabrics had a highest thermal resistance in all fabric, and the thermal resistance of nonwoven fabric increased with the increase in thickness. The six nonwoven fabrics were exposed to a hot environment for a few minutes by using a self-designed apparatus. The test results showed that the nonwoven fabrics made with basalt fiber exhibited the best thermal protective performance, and the thermal protective abilities of nonwoven fabrics increased with fabric thickness. Interestingly, nonwoven fabrics with added water were found to be able to keep the fabric surface lower temperature compared to dry fabrics when exposed to a hot environment, indicating the excellent thermal protective performance of wet nonwoven fabrics.
