Poiseuille Number

A three-dimensional model was developed to simulate the laminar flow and convective heat transfer in rectangular silicon microchannels，which have hydraulic diameter of 95.3，92.3 ,85.8 , 80 and 75μm respectively．The rationality of the simulation methods and results were validated by comparing with experimental data. The simulation results indicate that the aspect ratio has a significant impact on the Poiseuille number. Conventional fluid flow theory is fit for researching the fluid flow in microchannels, Po is a constant that is not dependent on the Reynolds number.

Flow And Heat Transfer

This work presents a post-processing tool for the verification of steady-state fluid flow and heat transfer finite volume computations. It is based both on the generalized Richardson extrapolation and the Grid Convergence Index GCI. The observed order of accuracy and a error band where the grid independent solution is expected to be contained are estimated. The results corresponding to the following two and three-dimensional steady-state simulations are post-processed: a flow inside a cavity with moving top wall, an axisymmetric turbulent flow through a compressor valve, a premixed methane/air laminar flat flame on a perforated burner, and the heat transfer from an isothermal cylinder enclosed by a square duct. Discussion is carried out about the certainty of the estimators obtained with the post-processing procedure. They have been shown to be useful parameters in order to assess credibility and quality to the reported numerical solutions.

Flow And Heat Transfer

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the three-dimensional natural convection and entropy generation in the rectangular cuboid cavities included by chamfered triangular partition made by polypropylene. Design/methodology/approach The enclosure is filled by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-H2O nanofluid and air as two immiscible fluids. The finite volume approach is used for computation. The fluid flow and heat transfer are considered with combination of local entropy generation due to fluid friction and heat transfer. Moreover, a numerical method is developed based on three-dimensional solution of Navier–Stokes equations. Findings Effects of side ratio of triangular partitions (SR = 0.5, 1 and 2), Rayleigh number (103 < Ra < 105) and solid volume fraction (f = 0.002, 0.004 and 0.01 Vol.%) of nanofluid are investigated on both natural convection characteristic and volumetric entropy generation. The results show that the partitions can be a suitable method to control fluid flow and energy consumption, and three-dimensional solutions renders more accurate results. Originality/value The originality of this work is to study the three-dimensional natural convection and entropy generation of a stratified system.

Conjugate Calculation

In this paper a three-dimensional conjugate calculation has been performed for a passenger car turbo charger. The scope of this work is to investigate the heat fluxes in the radial compressor which can be strongly influenced by the hot turbine. As a result of this, the compressor efficiency may deteriorate. Consequently, the heat fluxes have to be taken into account for the determination of the efficiency. To overcome this problem a complex three-dimensional model has been developed. It contains the compressor, the oil cooled center housing, and the turbine. 12 operating points have been numerically simulated composed of three different turbine inlet temperatures and four different mass flows. The boundary conditions for the flow and for the outer casing were derived from experimental test data (part II of the paper). Resulting from these conjugate calculations various one-dimensional calculation specifications have been developed. They describe the heat transfer phenomena inside the compressor with the help of a Nusselt number which is a function of an artificial Reynolds number and the turbine inlet temperature.

Rayleigh Numbers

Detailed numerical analysis is presented for three-dimensional natural convection heat transfer in annulus with an internal concentric slotted cylinder. The internal slotted cylinder and the outer annulus are maintained at uniform but different temperatures. Governing equations are discretized using control volume technique based on staggered grid formulation and solved using SIMPLE algorithm with QUICK scheme. Flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated for a Rayleigh number range of 10 to 106 while Prandtl number (Pr) is taken to be 0.7. The results indicate, at Rayleigh numbers below 105, the system shows two dimensional flow and heat transfer characteristics. On the other hand, the flow and heat transfer shows three dimensional characteristics while for Rayleigh numbers greater than 5×105. Comparison with experimental results indicated that the numerical solutions by three dimensional model can obtain more accuracy than the numerical solutions by two dimensional model. Besides, Numerical results show that the average equivalent conductivity coefficient of natural convection heat transfer of this problem can be enhanced by as much as 30% while relative slot width is more than 0.1.
