Abstract: | To predict the heat transfer enhancements that result from the application of a pulsating flow in a pipe, we experimentally investigated the turbulent heat transfer variations produced in response to sudden accelerations or decelerations to flows within a pipe. To accomplish this, the Reynolds numbers with the valve open (Re1) and close (Re0) were systematically varied in the range of 8,000 ≤ Re1 ≤ 34,000 and 700 ≤ Re0 ≤ 23,000, respectively, and in-pipe spatiotemporal heat transfer variations were measured using infrared thermography simultaneously with temporal variations to the in-pipe flow properties. Based on the experimental results, it was found that the heat transfer delays that occur in response to accelerations or decelerations can be characterized using the corresponding time lag Δt and first-order time constant τ. The values of Δt and τ can be expressed as non-dimensional forms of Δt/(ν/uτ2) and τ/(R/uτ), respectively, where uτ is the pipe wall friction velocity, ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid, and R is the pipe radius. |
