We present in this paper, the coupling of heat transfer to the crystallization of composite in a closed mold. The composite is based on thermoplastic resin (low viscosity PA 66) with glass fiber (50% volume fraction). In order to realize this coupling, an accurate characterizationof thermo physical properties in process conditions, especially in the molten and solid state is needed. In addition, theidentification of the parameters of crystallization kinetics is required. Therefore, we present the methods that were used to study the thermo physical properties as the thermal conductivity, heat capacity and the specific volume. Moreover, the kinetic of crystallization was estimated over a large temperature range by using Flash DSC and classical DSC. In order to validate the measurements, the whole process was modeled by finite elements. The model includes the resolution of the strong coupling between the heat transfer and crystallization. Finally, the experimental and numerical results were compared.

In recent years, heat dissipation in micro-electronic systems has become a significant design limitation for many component manufactures. As electronic devices become smaller, the amount of heat generation per unit area increases significantly. Current heat dissipation systems have implemented forced convection with both air and fluid media. However, nanofluids may present an advantageous and ideal cooling solution. In the present study, a model has been developed to estimate the enhancement of the heat transfer when nanoparticles are added to a base fluid, in a single microchannel. The model assumes a homogeneous nanofluid mixture, with thermo-physical properties based on previous experimental and simulation based data. The effect of nanofluid concentration on the dynamics of the bubble has been simulated. The results show the change in bubble contact angles due to deposition of the nanoparticles has more effect on the wall heat transfer compared to the effect of thermo-physical properties change by using nanofluid.

Purpose This study aims to at numerically retrieve five constant dimensional thermo-physical properties of a biological tissue from dimensionless boundary temperature measurements. Design/methodology/approach The thermal-wave model of bio-heat transfer is used as an appropriate model because of its realism in situations in which the heat flux is extremely high or low and imposed over a short duration of time. For the numerical discretization, an unconditionally stable finite difference scheme used as a direct solver is developed. The sensitivity coefficients of the dimensionless boundary temperature measurements with respect to five constant dimensionless parameters appearing in a non-dimensionalised version of the governing hyperbolic model are computed. The retrieval of those dimensionless parameters, from both exact and noisy measurements, is successfully achieved by using a minimization procedure based on the MATLAB optimization toolbox routine lsqnonlin. The values of the five-dimensional parameters are recovered by inverting a nonlinear system of algebraic equations connecting those parameters to the dimensionless parameters whose values have already been recovered. Findings Accurate and stable numerical solutions for the unknown thermo-physical properties of a biological tissue from dimensionless boundary temperature measurements are obtained using the proposed numerical procedure. Research limitations/implications The current investigation is limited to the retrieval of constant physical properties, but future work will investigate the reconstruction of the space-dependent blood perfusion coefficient. Practical implications As noise inherently present in practical measurements is inverted, the paper is of practical significance and models a real-world situation. Social implications The findings of the present paper are of considerable significance and interest to practitioners in the biomedical engineering and medical physics sectors. Originality/value In comparison to Alkhwaji et al. (2012), the novelty and contribution of this work are as follows: considering the more general and realistic thermal-wave model of bio-heat transfer, accounting for a relaxation time; allowing for the tissue to have a finite size; and reconstructing five thermally significant dimensional parameters.

Thermo Physical Properties

In recent years, research has focused on enhancing the thermo-physical properties of a single component nanofluid. Therefore, hybrid or composite nanofluids have been developed to improve heat transfer performance. The thermo-physical properties of the Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanoparticles suspended in a base of water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) at constant volume ratio of 60:40 and different volume concentrations were investigated. The experiment was conducted for the volume concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% of Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 nanofluids at different temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 °C. Thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity measurements were carried out at temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 °C by using KD2 Pro Thermal Properties Analyzer and Brookfield LVDV III Ultra Rheometer, respectively. The highest thermal conductivity for tri-hybrid nanofluids was obtained at 0.3% volume concentration, and the maximum enhancement was increased up to 9% higher than the base fluid (EG/W). Tri-hybrid nanofluids with a volume concentration of 0.05% gave the lowest effective thermal conductivity of 4.8 % at 70 °C temperature. Meanwhile, the dynamic viscosity of the tri-hybrid nanofluids was influenced by volume concentration and temperature. Furthermore, tri-hybrid nanofluids behaved as a Newtonian fluid for volume concentrations from 0.05 to 3.0%. The properties enhancement ratio (PER) estimated that the tri-hybrid nanofluids will aid in heat transfer for all samples in the present. The new correlations for thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of tri-hybrid nanofluids were developed with minimum deviation. As a conclusion, the combination of the enhancement in thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity for tri-hybrid at 0.3% volume concentration was found the optimum condition with more advantage for heat transfer than other concentrations.

Solar energy is a major renewable energy resource used in power production, heating processes, and other applications such as domestic and industrial utilization. It is an abundant form of green energy. Different techniques have been made for energy conversion and one among them is solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system. Unfortunately, the greatest cause of concern is the rise in temperature of solar PV cells, which will have a negative effect on electrical performance. Thereby, eliminating excess heat on PV cells with heat transfer fluids to lower the temperature of the cells can improve electrical efficiency. A nanofluid is a promising heat transfer fluid to effectively enhance the system efficacy compared with conventional fluids. As the nanoparticle size is very small, the surface area of the nanoparticle is large so it enhances the heat transfer rate. Thereby, recently it has taken on a new dimension for research studies to enhance its thermal behavior for engineering application. This review paper discusses about the importance of nanofluid in solar PV/T system and advantages of employing nanofluid in PV/T system which has high thermo-physical properties. Nanoparticle and nanofluid preparation methods were presented. The thermo-physical properties like thermal conductivity, viscosity, density, and specific heat capacity were also discussed.

Convection heat transfer in upward flows of supercritical water in triangular tight fuel rod bundles is numerically investigated by using the commercial CFD code, ANSYS Fluent© 14.5. The fuel rod with an inner diameter of 7.6 mm and the pitch-to-diameter ratio (P/D) of 1.14 is studied for mass flux ranging between 550 and 1050 kg/m2s and heat flux of 560 kW/m2 at pressures of 25 MPa. V2F eddy viscosity turbulence model is used and, to isolate the effect of buoyancy, constant values are used for thermo-physical properties with Boussinesq approximation for the density variation with temperature in the momentum equations. The computed Nusselt number normalized by that of the same Reynolds number with no buoyancy against the buoyancy parameter proposed by Jackson and Hall’s criterion. Mentioned results are compared with V2F turbulence model whereas strong nonmonotonic variation of the thermo-physical properties as function of temperature have been applied to the commercial CFD code using user defined function (UDF) technique. A significant decrease in Nusselt number was observed in the range of 10-6<Grq/Reb3.425Prb0.8<5×10-6 before entering a serious heat transfer deterioration regime. Based on an analysis of the shear-stress distribution in the turbulent boundary layer and the significant variation of the specific heat across the turbulent boundary layer, it is found that the same mechanism that leads to impairment of turbulence production in concentric annular pipes is present in triangular lattice fuel rod bundles at supercritical pressure.

A research on the heat transfer performance of kerosene flowing in a vertical upward tube at supercritical pressure is presented. In the experiments, insights are offered on the effects of the factors such as mass flow rate, heat flux and pressure. It is found that increasing the mass flow rate could enhance the heat transfer performances, while increasing the working pressure will deteriorate the heat transfer. Besides, the effect of heat flux on heat transfer is complicated. Based on the analysis of experimental data, enhancement of heat transfer occurs when the inner wall temperature of tube is higher than pseudo-critical temperature while the bulk fluid temperature is lower than the pseudo-critical temperature. At the supercritical conditions, heat transfer is influenced by the significant changes in thermo-physical properties, thus accurate evaluations of the thermo-physical properties become the key for the supercritical heat transfer calculations. The extended corresponding-state principle could be used for evaluating the density and the transport properties of kerosene, including its viscosity and thermal conductivity, at different temperatures and pressures. In order to obtain the numerical values of the heat capacity, a Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) equation of state is used. The correlation for predicting heat transfer in kerosene at supercritical pressure is established, the calculation results from this correlation are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract Analytical and computational studies were performed to compare the convective heat transfer characteristics of a supercritical fluid in a circular pipe for horizontal flow configuration. The motivation of this study was to explore the efficacy of heat exchangers involving forced convective heat transfer of supercritical fluids (tube side) integrated with air cooling (i.e., in free convection). The goal of this study was to determine the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) in air-cooled tube heat-exchangers. The scope of this study was limited to the values of Reynolds number (Re) varying from 10∼104 (i.e., involving both laminar and turbulent flow correlations for analytical formulations and computational models). The predictions for the forced convection heat transfer characteristics (e.g., heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, volume flow rate, mass flow rate, pump penalty/ pumping power/ required compressor ratings, Nusselt number (Nu) etc.) were obtained using analytical formulations and compared with that of computational models. The flow configurations involved a horizontal circular pipe of 1 m length and with different diameters (ranging from 1 mm – 10 mm). The supercritical properties of the working fluid were investigated at a fixed value of reduced pressure (Pr = 1.1) and a fixed range of temperatures, i.e., T, varying from 550 to 750 [K]. The fluid properties were gleaned from the NIST property database (available online at the NIST website). For the second part of this study, the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of sCO2 flowing in a horizontal tube with circular cross-section were studied using analytical correlations (e.g., Dittus-Boelter and Gnielinski correlation) and validated using commercial tools for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)/ Computational Heat Transfer (CHT), i.e., using Fluent® (Ansys®). Validation of the analytical predictions using CFD/ CHT tools was performed to ascertain the level of uncertainty in the predicted results due to acute variation of the thermo-physical properties as a function of temperature and pressure (since the thermo-physical properties are expected to oscillate widely in the vicinity of the critical point). In the simulations, the inlet temperature for the supercritical fluid (sCO2) was fixed (at Tin = 700 [K]), and the ambient temperature was also fixed (at Tamb = 300 [K]), for the purpose of determining the values of the natural convection coefficients (external to the tube). Constant values of the thermo-physical properties of sCO2 at the mean film temperature (and corresponding to the inlet pressure values) were assumed for obtaining the analytical predictions. The results from the CFD / CHT simulations helped to quantify the level of uncertainties in the assumption of constant properties (in the analytical model) at different values of Reynolds number (i.e., for both laminar and turbulent flow regimes).
