Thermal analysis of annular fins with temperature-dependent thermal properties

The thermal analysis of the annular rectangular profile fins with variable thermal properties is investigated by using the homotopy analysis method （HAM）. The thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient are assumed to vary with a linear and power-law function of temperature, respectively. The effects of the thermal-geometric fin parameter and the thermal conductivity parameter variations on the temperature distribution and fin efficiency are investigated for different heat transfer modes. Results from the HAM are compared with numerical results of the finite difference method （FDM）. It can be seen that the variation of dimensionless parameters has a significant effect on the temperature distribution and fin efficiency.     

Investigation of Ti6Al4V and AA7075 alloy embedded nanofluid flow over longitudinal porous fin in the presence of internal heat generation and convective condition

The thermal attributes of porous fin due to radiation and natural convection have been carried out in the presence of nanofluid flow. The geometry of the fin taken for the analysis is rectangular profiled longitudinal fin. The temperature-dependent internal heat generation condition is also considered along with Darcy's model. The two types of nanofluid containing titanium alloy(Ti6Al4V) and aluminium alloy(AA7075) immersed in water is considered for the investigation.The modelled nonlinear ordinary differential equation is numerically solved by the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg technique. The impact of geometric parameter on the heat transfer analysis of the fin due to the flow of both nanofluids is plotted and consequences are physically interpreted. It is observed that the presence of the water-based titanium alloy better enhances the fin heat transfer rate.

有间隙折叠舵面的振动实验与非线性建模研究

针对折叠舵面内、外舵铰接处存在的间隙对地面振动响应的影响及间隙处的非线性建模方法展开研究.消除间隙,利用锤击法对线性折叠舵面进行模态实验,得到了前五阶模态参数;打开间隙,进行振动台扫频基础激励,实验结果表明间隙的存在会使结构的动力学响应产生非线性现象,如正反向扫描差异、跳跃、多谐波及频率漂移.非线性的影响主要体现在一阶弯曲模态上,激励量级的增大和间隙的减小均会使基频增大,且逐渐趋向于无间隙的结果,但对第二阶扭转模态的影响与第一阶相比较小.建立了折叠舵面的有限元模型. 提出了一种适用于具有集中非线性的折叠机构的模型缩减方法,并对舵面进行了模态缩减.根据Hertz接触理论,用具有线性和3/2次刚度组合形式的非线性扭转弹簧来模拟铰接处的间隙和接触.通过比较锤击实验与数值计算得到的前四阶频率和振型对模型的线性部分进行验证.通过Bathe两子步隐式复合算法计算基础激励下非线性结构的动力学响应,得到的传递函数可以模拟实验中出现的频率变化特征,验证了连接处非线性建模方法的合理性.      

Three-dimensional numerical study and field synergy principle analysis of wavy fin heat exchangers with elliptic tubes

Three dimensional numerical studies were performed for laminar heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of wavy fin heat exchangers with elliptic/circular tubes by body-fitted coordinates system. The simulation results of circular tube were compared with the experiment data, then circular and elliptic (e = b/a = 0.6) arrangements with the same minimum flow cross-sectional area were compared. A max relative heat transfer gain of up to 30% is observed in the elliptic arrangement, and corresponding friction factor only increased by about 10%. The effects of five factors on wavy fin and elliptic tube heat exchangers were examined: Reynolds number (based on the smaller ellipse axis, 500  4000), eccentricity (b/a, 0.6  1.0), fin pitch (F_p/2b, 0.05  0.4), fin thickness (F_t/2b, 0.006  0.04) and tube spanwise pitch (S₁/2b, 1.0  2.0). The results show that with the increasing of Reynolds number and fin thickness, decreasing of the eccentricity and spanwise tube pitch, the heat transfer of the finned tube bank are enhanced with some penalty in pressure drop. There is an optimum fin pitch (F_p/2b = 0.1) for heat transfer, but friction factor always decreases with increase of fin pitch. And when F_p/2b is larger than 0.25, it has little effects on heat transfer and pressure drop. The results were also analyzed from the view point of field synergy principle. It was found that the effects of the five factors on the heat transfer performance can be well described by the field synergy principle.     

Constructal Equivalent Thermal Resistance Minimization for Tau-Shaped Fin

With the aid of constructal theory and entransy theory, a Tau-shaped fin (TAUSF) is investigated in this paper, and the widths of the bend end and elemental fins are assumed to be different. The construct of the TAUSF is optimized by the minimum equivalent thermal resistance (ETR) obtained by entransy dissipation rate. The constraints of total enveloping volume and fin material volume are considered. The results show that in the specified range of width ratio, the twice minimum ETR of the TAUSF can be yielded by an optimal width ratio and an optimal length ratio. In addition, comparing the optimal performance of the TAUSF with the counterpart of a T-shaped fin, the former sacrifices a small amount of heat transfer performance and its stiffness increases due to its structure with the bend end. The optimal structure of the TAUSF yielded from ETR minimization is conspicuously different with the counterpart yielded from maximum thermal resistance minimization. Comparing the thermal performances of the two optimal constructs, the ETR of the former optimal construct is declined by 10.58%, whereas the maximum thermal resistance is augmented by 5.22%. The former optimal construct can lead to the uniformity of temperature gradient and the reduction in thermal stress, and can guide the engineering designs of practical fins.

In this paper, the general exact implicit solution of the second‐order nonlinear ordinary differential equation governing heat transfer in rectangular fin is obtained using Lie point symmetry method. General relationship among the fin efficiency, the rate of heat transfer from the entire fin, the fin effectiveness, and the thermo‐geometric fin parameter is obtained for any value of the mode of heat transfer n and the constant β.
