The study focuses on the aggregation kinematics in the quadratic convective magneto-hydrodynamics of ethylene glycol-titania ([Formula: see text]) nanofluid flowing through an inclined flat plate. The modified Krieger-Dougherty and Maxwell-Bruggeman models are used for the effective viscosity and thermal conductivity to account for the aggregation aspect. The effects of an exponential space-dependent heat source and thermal radiation are incorporated. The impact of pertinent parameters on the heat transfer coefficient is explored by using the Response Surface Methodology and Sensitivity Analysis. The effects of several parameters on the skin friction and heat transfer coefficient at the plate are displayed via surface graphs. The velocity and thermal profiles are compared for two physical scenarios: flow over a vertical plate and flow over an inclined plate. The nonlinear problem is solved using the Runge–Kutta-based shooting technique. It was found that the velocity profile significantly decreased as the inclination of the plate increased on the other hand the temperature profile improved. The heat transfer coefficient decreased due to the increase in the Hartmann number. The exponential heat source has a decreasing effect on the heat flux and the angle of inclination is more sensitive to the heat transfer coefficient than other variables. Further, when radiation is incremented, the sensitivity of the heat flux toward the inclination angle augments at the rate 0.5094% and the sensitivity toward the exponential heat source augments at the rate 0.0925%. In addition, 41.1388% decrement in wall shear stress is observed when the plate inclination is incremented from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text].

A fundamental study of heat transfer characteristics of two-phase slug flow in microchannels is carried out employing the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method. Despite of the fact that numerical simulations of two-phase flows in microchannels have been attempted by many investigators, most efforts seem to have failed in correctly capturing the flow physics, especially those pertaining to the slug flow regime characteristics. The presence of a thin liquid film in the order of 10 μm around the bubble is a contributing factor to the above difficulty. Typically, liquid films have a significant effect on the flow field and heat transfer characteristics. In the simulations reported in this paper, the film is successfully captured and a very high local convective heat transfer coefficient is observed in the film region. A strong coupling between the conductive heat transfer in the solid wall and the convective heat transfer in the flow field is observed and characterized. Results showed that unsteady heat transfer through the solid wall in the axial direction is comparable to that in the radial direction. Results also showed that a fully developed condition could be achieved fairly quickly compared to single-phase flows. The fully developed condition is defined based on the Peclet number (Pe) and a dimensionless length of the liquid slug. Local and time-averaged Nusselt numbers for slug flows are reported for the first time. It was found that significant improvements in the heat transfer coefficient could be achieved by short slugs where the Nu number was found to be 610% higher than in single-phase flows. The study revealed new findings related to slug flow heat transfer in microchannels with constant wall heat flux.

Nowadays methods of hot-rolled sheets should ensure high mechanical and plastic properties of sheets, in-line rolling. Such technologies require application of devices for accelerated cooling of a band after last deformation. The essential thing in this process is selection of an appropriate positioning of the cooling intensity. The paper presents results of the cooling intensity for the selected air-water nozzle. On the basis of the results, the map of distribution of heat transfer coefficient for the nozzle to the surface of the cooling was performed. These tests were carried out for different settings of water and air. The research was carried out for high-strength steel. The obtained results allow executing of computer simulation of the impact of cooling intensity on the final product’s structure.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate increasing heat transfer in bend tube 90° by fluid injection using nano fluid flow that was performed by expending varying Reynolds number. This paper studies the increased heat transfer in the bent tube that used some parameters to examine the effects of volume fraction, nanoparticle diameter, fluid injection, Reynolds number on heat transfer and flow in a bend pipe. Design/methodology/approach Designing curved tubes increases the thermal conductivity amount between fluid and wall. It is used the finite volume method and simple algorithms to solve the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy. The results showed that the nanoparticles used in bent tube transfusion increase the heat transfer performance by increasing the volume fraction; it has a direct impact on enhancing the heat transfer coefficient. Findings Heat transfer coefficient enhanced 1.5% when volume fraction increased from 2 % to 6%, the. It is due to the impact of nanoparticles on the thermal conductivity of the fluid. The fluid is injected into the boundary layer flow due to jamming that enhances heat transfer. Curved lines used create a centrifugal force due to the bending and lack of development that increase the heat transfer. Originality/value This study has investigated the effect of injection of water into a 90° bend before and after the bend. Specific objectives are to analyze effect of injection on heat transfer of bend tube and pressure drop, evaluate best performance of mixing injection and bend in different positions and analyze effect of nano fluid volume fraction on injection.

In this study, the thermal analysis for the impact of the cooling seawater site specific conditions on the thermal efficiency of a conceptual pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant (PWR NPP) is presented. The PWR NPP thermal performance depends upon the heat transfer analysis of steam surface condenser accounting for the key parameters such as the cooling seawater salinity and temperature that affect the condenser overall heat transfer coefficient and fouling factor. The study has two aspects: the first one is the impact of the temperature and salinity within a range of (290 K–310 K and 0.00–60000 ppm) on the seawater thermophysical properties such as density, specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity that reflect a reduction in the condenser overall heat transfer coefficient from 2.25 kW/m2 K to 1.265 kW/m2 K at temperature and salinity of 290 K and 0.00 ppm and also from 2.35 kW/m2 K to 1.365 kW/m2 K at temperature and salinity of 310 K and 60000 ppm, whereas the second aspect is the fouling factor variations due to the seawater salinity. The analysis showed that the two aspects have a significant impact on the computation of the condenser overall heat transfer coefficient, whereas the increase of seawater salinity leads to a reduction in the condenser overall heat transfer coefficient.

This paper considers an analytical approach in the design of a passive heat sink for an ABB electrical drive. The heat sink is intended to dissipate a certain amount of heat energy and to maintain the surface temperature of an electronic communication board at the prescribed temperature. The maximum size of the heat sink is known due to the existing space constraint. This paper details the step by step procedure in the development of a passive heat sink that functions based on the natural convection. Two commonly used fins such as rectangular plate fins and rectangular pins fins were considered for the project. A parametric study was considered wherein a relationship was developed between the convection heat transfer coefficient and the air flow. Likewise, the impact of convection heat transfer coefficient was seen on the rate of heat transfer and the fin geometry.

Experimental studies of dropwise condensation have generally indicated that higher heat transfer coefficients correspond to smaller mean sizes for droplets growing through condensation on the surface. Recent investigations of dropwise condensation on nanostructured surfaces suggest that optimizing the design of such surfaces can push mean droplet sizes down to smaller values and significantly enhance heat transfer. This paper summarizes a theoretical exploration of the limits of heat transfer enhancement that can be achieved by pushing mean droplet size to progressively smaller sizes. A model analysis is developed that predicts transport near clusters of water droplets undergoing dropwise condensation. The model accounts for interfacial tension effects on thermodynamic equilibrium and noncontinuum transport effects, which become increasingly important as droplet size becomes progressively smaller. In this investigation, the variation of condensing heat transfer coefficient for droplet clusters of different sizes was explored for droplet diameters ranging from hundreds of microns to tens of nanometers. The model predictions indicate that the larger droplet transport trend of increasing heat transfer coefficient with decreasing mean droplet size breaks down as droplet size becomes smaller. The model further predicts that as drop size becomes smaller, a peak heat transfer coefficient is reached, beyond which the coefficient drops as the size continues to diminish. This maximum heat transfer coefficient results from the increasing importance of surface tension effects and noncontinuum effects as droplet size becomes smaller. The impact of these predictions on the interpretation of dropwise condensation heat transfer data, and the implications for design of nanostructured surfaces to enhance dropwise condensation are discussed in detail.
