High Heat Transfer Coefficient

As part of the liquid cooling, most of the work has been done on fluid flow and heat transfer analysis for flow field. In the present work, the experimental and numerical studies of the microchannel the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis using nanoliquid coolant have been discussed. The practical aspects for increasing the high heat transfer coefficient from conventional studies and the different geometries and shapes of the microchannel are studied. The Aspect Ratio has significant effect on the microchannels and has been varied from AR 2, 4 and 8 to choose the optimum one. Three different fluids, i.e. de-ionized water, ethylene glycol, and a custom nanofluid are chosen for study. The proposed nanofluid almost interacts as another solid and has reduced thermal resistance, friction effect, and thus it almost vanishes high hot spots. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed nanofluid is excellent fluid for high rate heat removals. Moreover, the performance of the overall system is excellent in terms of high heat transfer coefficient, high thermal conductivity, and high capacity of the fluid. It has been reported that the heat transfer coefficient can be increased to 2.5 times of the water or any other fluid. It was also reported that the AR 4 rectangular-shaped channels are the optimum geometry in the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 800 considering laminar flow. Examination and identification is based upon the practical result that includes fabrication constraints, commercial application, sealing of the system, ease of operation, and so on.

In this paper a numerical simulation is performed to predict the swirl cooling on internal leading edge cooling passage model. The relative performances of four kinds of turbulence models including the standard κ-ε model, the RNG κ-ε model, the standard κ-ω model and the SST κ-ω model in the simulation of the swirl flow by tangential inlet jets in a circular pipe are compared with available experimental data. The results show that SST κ-ω model is the best one based on simulation accuracy. Then the SST κ-ω model is adopted for the present simulation. A circular pipe with a single rectangular tangential inlet jet or with two rectangular tangential inlet jets is adopted to investigate the swirl cooling and its effectiveness. The influence of the Reynolds number and the inlet to wall temperature ratio are investigated. The results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient on the swirl chamber increases with the increase of Reynolds number, and increases with the decrease of the inlet to wall temperature ratio. The swirl pipe with two tangential inlets could get a heat transfer enhancement of about three times to that of the nonswirling pipe, while swirl pipe with one tangential inlet could get a heat transfer coefficient 38% higher than that of the nonswirling pipe.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The fluid-dynamic and heat transfer experimental analysis of a gas turbine internal three-pass blade cooling channel is presented. The passage is composed of three rectilinear channels joined by two sharp 180 degree turns; moreover the channel section is trapezoidal instead of the rectangular configuration already analysed in depth in literature. The trapezoidal section is more representative of the actual geometrical configuration of the blade and, in comparison with the rectangular section, it shows significant aspect ratio and hydraulic diameter variations along the channel. These variations have a strong impact on the flow field and the heat transfer coefficient distributions. The flow analysis experimental results — wall pressure distributions, flow visualisations — are presented and discussed. The heat transfer coefficient distributions, Nusselt enhancement factor, obtained using Thermocromic Liquid Crystals (TLC), have been studied as well. In order to understand the influence of the cooling mass flow rate, a wide range of flow regimes-Reynolds numbers- has been considered.

Element Approach

An experimental analysis of a real engine cooling scheme was performed on a test article replicating a slot injection and an effusion array with a central large dilution hole. Test section consists of a rectangular cross-section duct with a flat plate comprised of 270 holes arranged in 29 staggered rows (D = 1.65mm, Sx/D = 7.6, Sy/D = 6, L/D = 5.5, α = 30deg) and a dilution hole (D = 18.75mm) located at the 14th row. Both effusion and dilution holes are fed by a channel replicating combustor annulus, that allows to control cold gas side cross-flow parameters, especially in terms of Reynolds number of both annulus and effusion holes. Upstream the first row, a 6mm high slot, ensure the protection of the very first region of the liner. Final aim was the measurement of both heat transfer coefficient and Net Heat Flux Reduction of the cooling scheme, by means of a steady-state Thermochromic Liquid Crystals (TLC) technique with a thin Inconel heating foil. A data reduction procedure based on a Finite Element approach has been developed to take into account the non uniform heat generation and conduction due to the large amount of holes. Experiments were carried out considering the combined effects of slot, effusion and dilution holes. Three different effusion blowing ratios (BR = 3–5–7) are investigated, keeping constant the slot flow parameters (BR = 1.3). Results highlight a large influence of effusion blowing ratio on heat transfer coefficient. A steep increase was found in the first rows, while the large dilution hole does not influences significantly the heat transfer behaviour in the downstream area.

This paper aims to study the effect of particle migration on flow and heat transfer of nanofluids flowing through a circular pipe. To do this, a two-component model proposed by Buongiorno (2006, “Convective Transport in Nanofluids,” ASME J. Heat Transfer, 128, pp. 240–250) was used and a numerical study on laminar flow of alumina-water nanofluid through a constant wall temperature tube was performed. The effects of nonuniform distribution of particles on heat-transfer coefficient and wall shear stress are shown. Obtained results illustrate that by considering the particle migration, the heat-transfer coefficient increases while the wall shear stress decreases, compared with uniform volume fraction. Thus, it can be concluded that the enhancement of the convective heat transfer could not be solely attributed to the enhancement of the effective thermal conductivity, and beside other reasons, which may be listed as this higher enhancement, particle migration is proposed to be an important reason.
