An experimental study on convective heat transfer performance of steam and air flow in V-shaped rib roughened channels

An experimental study on heat transfer characteristics of steam and air flows in a V-shaped ribbed channels was conducted. The effects of Reynolds numbers and rib angles on heat transfer of steam and air were obtained. The area-averaged Nusselt numbers of steam flow at a Reynolds number of 12,000 were 13.9%, 20.6%, 27.1%, and 27.9% higher than those of air flow for rib angles of 90°, 75°, 60°, and 45°, respectively. The correlations for Nusselt number in terms of Reynolds number and rib angle for steam and air in V-shaped ribbed channels were developed.     

THERMAL BEHAVIOR IN RECTANGULAR CHANNELS BY USING TRANSIENT LIQUID CRYSTAL METHOD

A series of experimental investigations by using the transient liquid crystal method on the studies related to the convective heat transfer in rectangular channels with different wall material types have been successfully performed. The results show that the local and average Nusselt numbers on the test channel surface for wall material type (II) are higher than those for wall material type (I). The effect of the steady-state air preheating temperature on average Nusselt numbers is not significant, while the average Nusselt numbers increase with increasing Reynolds number in a power of 0.627. Furthermore, two empirical Nu correlations for channels with wall material type (I) and type (II) are respectively proposed in this study.     

Screening effects in flow through rough channels

A surprising similarity is found between the distribution of hydrodynamic stress on the wall of an irregular channel and the distribution of flux from a purely Laplacian field on the same geometry. This finding is a direct outcome of numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations for flow at low Reynolds numbers in two-dimensional channels with rough walls presenting either deterministic or random self-similar geometries. For high Reynolds numbers, the distribution of wall stresses on deterministic and random fractal rough channels becomes substantially dependent on the microscopic details of the walls geometry. Finally, the effects on the flow behavior of the channel symmetry and aspect ratio are also investigated.     

FRICTION AND CONVECTION STUDIES OF R-134a IN MICROCHANNELS WITHIN THE TRANSITION AND TURBULENT FLOW REGIMES

Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of single-phase flows in microchannels for refrigerant R-134a were experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted using rectangular channels micromilled in aluminum with hydraulic diameters ranging from approximately 112 to 210 w m and aspect ratios that varied from 1.0 to 1.5. Using overall temperature, flow rate, and pressure drop measurements, friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficients were experimentally determined for steady flow conditions. Effects of Reynolds number, relative roughness, and channel aspect ratio are examined in predicting friction factor and Nusselt number for the experiments. Experiment results indicated that transition from laminar to turbulent flow occurred between a Reynolds number of 2,000 and 4,000. Friction factor results were consistently lower than values predicted by macroscale correlations but exhibited the same trends with Reynolds numbers of macroscale correlations. Nusselt number results also exhibited a similar pattern of lower values obtained in the experiments than those predicted by commonly used macroscale correlations. Nusselt number results also indicated that channel size may suppress turbulent convective heat transfer and surface roughness may affect heat transfer characteristics in the turbulent regime.

Deposition of inertial particles from turbulent flow in channels at high Reynolds numbers

On the basis of the previously developed asymptotic theory of turbulent particle-laden flow with particle deposition in channels coupled with the transport model for the particle Reynolds stress, an asymptotic solution to the problem on the deposition of particles in the limit of high Reynolds numbers was obtained. The numerical calculations confirmed the presence, in the region of the transition from the diffusion-impaction regime of particle sedimentation to the inertia-moderated regime, bifurcation phenomenon of a solution found previously in earlier studies. Features of particle accumulation in the viscous sublayer are analyzed. On the basis of the numerical solution, correlations for particle deposition velocity were obtained. Boundary conditions of the wall-function type for particle concentration whose use allows widening the applicability limits of the equilibrium Eulerian models in terms of particle inertia are proposed.     

Thermo-Hydraulic Behavior of Microchannel Heat Exchanger System

This article presents an experimental study of thermo-hydrodynamic phenomena in a microchannel heat exchanger system. The aim of this investigation is to develop correlations between flow/thermal characteristics in the manifolds and the heat transfer performance of the microchannel. A rectangular microchannel fabricated by a laser-machining technique with channel width and hydraulic diameter of 87 μm and 0.17 mm, respectively, and a trapezoidal-shaped manifold are used in this study. The heat sink is subjected to iso-flux heating condition with liquid convective cooling through the channels. The temporal and spatial evolutions of temperature as well as total pressure drop across the system are monitored using appropriate sensors. Data obtained from this study were used to establish relationships between parameters such as longitudinal wall conduction factor, residence and switching time, and thermal spreading resistance with Reynolds number. Result shows that there exist an optimum Reynolds number and conditions for the microchannel heat exchanger system to result in maximum heat transfer performance. The condition in which the inlet manifold temperature surpasses the exit fluid temperature results in lower junction temperature. It further shows that for a high Reynolds number, the longitudinal wall conduction parameter is greater than unity and that the fluid has sufficient dwelling time to absorb heat from the wall of the manifold, leading to high thermal performance.

Simultaneous density and velocity measurements in a supersonic turbulent boundary layer

A novel technique for simultaneous measurements of instantaneous whole-field density and velocity fields of supersonic flows has been developed.The density measurement is performed based on the nano-tracer planar laser scattering(NPLS) technique,while the velocity measurement is carried out using particle image velocimetry(PIV).The present experimental technique has been applied to a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer at Mach 3,and the measurement accuracy of the density and velocity are discussed.Based on this new technique,the Reynolds stress distributions were also obtained,demonstrating that this is an effective means for measuring Reynolds stresses under compressible conditions.     

Inertial microfluidics with multi-particle collision dynamics

Using the method of multi-particle collision dynamics (MPCD), we investigate inertial focussing in microfluidic channels that gives rise to the Segré-Silberberg effect. At intermediate Reynolds numbers, we model the motion of a spherical colloid in a circular microchannel under pressure-driven flow. We determine the radial distribution function and show how its width and the location of its maximum are strongly influenced by the colloid size and the Reynolds number of the Poiseuille flow. We demonstrate that MPCD is well suited for calculating mean values for the lift force acting on the colloid in the cross-sectional plane and for its mean axial velocity. We introduce a Langevin equation for the cross-sectional motion whose steady state is the Boltzmann distribution that contains the integrated lift force as potential energy. It perfectly coincides with the simulated radial distribution function.     

Experimental Study of Flow Through a Blade Trailing Edge with a Wavy Partition

Abstract

Flow through a blade trailing edge passage has been experimentally investigated in this article. This rectangular passage is divided into two channels by either a straight or a 120° wavy partition. Fluid in the first channel was injected into the second channel via 14 openings (holes) distributed uniformly and in the crests and troughs for the wavy configuration. Particle image velocimetry and a charge coupled device camera were used in experiment, with Reynolds number varying from 1,800 to 6,700. Experimental results show that the wavy configuration produces an oscillation flow in the second channel. The cause for the oscillation may due to the 120° wavy partition causing shear-layer instabilities and the formation of spanwise eddies by the wavy board. Pictures from the charge coupled device camera revealed strong mixing in the trailing edge, and this mixing could enhance heat transfer, which was confirmed in previous research. The amplitude of oscillation depends on Reynolds number and hole positions. It was observed that the injection flow was not symmetric to the openings, and it was skewed to the direction of the first channel main flow. The ratio of flow rate through the outlet and the bleeding holes was from 1:1 to 1:3.

Time-resolved PIV investigation on the unsteadiness of a low reynolds number confined impinging jet

The flow characteristics in a confined slot jet impinging on a flat plate were investigated in low Reynolds number regime by using time-resolved Particle Image Velocimetry technique. The jet Reynolds number was varied from 404 to 1026, where it is presumed that the transient regime exists. We found that the vortical structures in the shear layer are developed with increase of Reynolds number and that the jet becomes remains steady at the Reynolds number of 404. Vortical structures and their temporal evolution are verified and the results were compared with previous numerical studies.     

An approximation of the analytical solution of the Jeffery-Hamel flow by decomposition method

Many researchers have been interested in application of mathematical methods to find analytical solutions of nonlinear equations and for this purpose, new methods have been developed. Since most of fluid mechanics problems due to boundary layer are strongly nonlinear, so analytical solution of them is confronted with some difficulty. In this Letter, the Jeffery-Hamel flow—a nonlinear equation of 3rd order—is studied by Adomian decomposition method. After introducing Adomian decomposition method and the way of obtaining Adomian's polynomial, we solved the problem for divergent and convergent channels. Finally, velocity distribution and shear stress constant is depicted at various Reynolds numbers and comparing our results with some earlier works illustrated their excellent accuracy.

Heat transfer and friction factor characteristic of spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channel subjected to forced convection

An experimental and numerical investigation is performed in order to determine the outcome of dimple geometries on the heat transfer and friction factor in a dimple cooling channel subjected to turbulent flow. Two geometries taken into consideration are spherical and inclined teardrop. In order to have a better comparison between the two different dimple channel, the dimple depth, total wetted area of dimple, and dimple pitch have been kept constant. In case of spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channels, heat transfer augmentation, friction losses, and flow pattern have been obtained for a Reynolds Number range from 14,000 to 65,000. The investigation shows that the dimple geometry has a significant contribution to increasing the heat transfer augmentation and determining the flow pattern. The inclined teardrop dimple arrangement shows the maximum heat transfer that is 17% higher than the spherical dimple channel, whereas inclined teardrop dimple results in the rise of friction factor of about 5.93–16.14% times as compared to the spherical dimple within the specified Reynolds number. The inclined teardrop and spherical dimple channel show the heat transfer enhancement of 2.74 to 3.20 times and 2.38 to 2.68 times than that of smooth channels provided thermal boundary conditions and flow conditions are kept same. The numerical study has been performed, which provided a detailed insight into the flow structures and vortex formations in spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channel.
