Interfacial Heat Transfer

Interfacial heat transfer coefficients in a porous medium modeled as a staggered array of square rods are numerically determined. High and low Reynolds k-ϵ turbulence models are used in conjunction of a two-energy equation model, which includes distinct transport equations for the fluid and the solid phases. The literature has documented proposals for macroscopic energy equation modeling for porous media considering the local thermal equilibrium hypothesis and laminar flow. In addition, two-energy equation models have been proposed for conduction and laminar convection in packed beds. With the aim of contributing to new developments, this work treats turbulent heat transport modeling in porous media under the local thermal nonequilibrium assumption. Macroscopic time-average equations for continuity, momentum, and energy are presented based on the recently established double decomposition concept (spatial deviations and temporal fluctuations of flow properties). The numerical technique employed for discretizing the governing equations is the control volume method. Turbulent flow results for the macroscopic heat transfer coefficient, between the fluid and solid phase in a periodic cell, are presented.

This paper presents the development of a novel experimental technique utilizing both temperature and pressure sensitive paints (TSP and PSP). Through the combination of these paints, both detailed heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness distributions can be obtained from two short experiments. Using a mass transfer analogy, PSP has proven to be a powerful technique for measurement of film cooling effectiveness. This benefit is exploited to obtain detailed film cooling effectiveness distributions from a steady state flow experiment. This measured film cooling effectiveness is combined with transient temperature distributions obtained from a transient TSP experiment to produce detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions. Optical filters are used to differentiate the light emission from the florescent molecules comprising the PSP and TSP. Although two separate tests are needed to obtain the heat transfer coefficient distributions, the two tests can be performed in succession to minimize setup time and variability. The detailed film effectiveness and heat transfer enhancement ratios have been obtained for a generic, inclined angle (θ = 35°) hole geometry on a flat plate. Distinctive flow features over a wide range of blowing ratios have been captured with the proposed technique. In addition, the measured results have compared favorably to previous studies (both qualitatively and quantitatively), thus substantiating the use of the combined PSP / TSP technique for experimental investigations of three temperature mixing problems.

Detailed heat transfer characteristics of particle-sintered porous media and metal foams are evaluated to specify the important structural parameters suitable for high heat removal. The porous media used in this experiment are particle-sintered porous media made of bronze and SUS316L, and metal foams made of copper and nickel. Cooling water flows into the porous medium opposite to heat flux input loaded by a plasma arcjet. The result indicates that the bronze-particle porous medium of 100μm in pore size shows the highest performance and achieves heat transfer coefficient of 0.035MW/m2K at inlet heat flux 4.6MW/m2. Compared with the heat transfer performance of copper fiber-sintered porous media, the bronze particlesintered ones give lower heat transfer coefficient. However, the stable cooling conditions that the heat transfer coefficient does not depend on the flow velocity, were confirmed even at heat flux of 4.6MW/m2 in case of the bronze particle-sintered media, while not in the case of the copper-fiber sintered media. This signifies the possibility that the bronze-particle sintered media enable much higher heat flux removal of over 10MW/m2, which could be caused by higher permeability of the particle-sintered pore structures. Porous media with high permeability provide high performance of vapor evacuation, which leads to more stable heat removal even under extremely high heat flux. On the other hand, the heat transfer coefficient of the metal foams becomes lower because of the lower capillary and fin effects caused by too high porosity and low effective thermal conductivity. It is concluded that the pore structure having high performance of vapor evacuation as well as the high capillary and high fin effects is appropriate for extremely high heat flux removal of over 10MW/m2.

A conjugate conduction-convection analysis has been made for a vertical plate fin which exchanges heat with its fluid environment by natural convection. The analysis is based on a first-principles approach whereby the heat conduction equation for the fin is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the fin. The natural convection heat transfer coefficient is not specified in advance but is one of the results of the numerical solutions. For a wide range of operating conditions, the local heat transfer coefficients were found not to decrease monotonically in the flow direction, as is usual. Rather, the coefficient decreased at first, attained a minimum, and then increased with increasing downstream distance. This behavior was attributed to an enhanced buoyancy resulting from an increase in the wall-to-fluid temperature difference along the streamwise direction. To supplement the first-principles analysis, results were also obtained from a simple adaptation of the conventional fin model.

Rarefaction Effects

Hydrodynamics and heat transfer in micro/nano channels filled with porous media for different porosities and Knudsen numbers, Kn, ranging from 0.1 to 10, are considered. The performance of standard lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is confined to the microscale flows with a Knudsen number less than 0.1. Therefore, by considering the rarefaction effect on the viscosity and thermal conductivity, a modified thermal LBM is used, which is able to extend the ability of LBM to simulate wide range of Knudsen flow regimes. The present study reports the effects of the Knudsen number and porosity on the flow rate, permeability, and mean Nusselt number. The Knudsen's minimum effect for micro/nano channels filled with porous media was observed. In addition to the porosity and Knudsen number, the obstacle sizes have important role in the heat transfer, so that enhanced heat transfer is observed when the obstacle sizes decrease. For the same porosity and Knudsen number, the inline porous structure has the highest heat transfer performance.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Synthetic jets are piezo-driven, small-scale, pulsating devices capable of producing highly turbulent jets formed by periodic entrainment and expulsion of the fluid in which they are embedded. The compactness of these devices accompanied by high air velocities provides an exciting opportunity to significantly reduce the size of thermal management systems in electronic packages. A number of researchers have shown the implementations of synthetic jets on heat transfer applications; however, there exists no correlation to analytically predict the heat transfer coefficient for such applications. A closed form correlation was developed to predict the heat transfer coefficient as a function of jet geometry, position, and operating conditions for impinging flow based on experimental data. The proposed correlation was shown to predict the synthetic jet impingement heat transfer within 25% accuracy for a wide range of operating conditions and geometrical variables.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The article discusses the process of heat exchange of a finned wall with a coolant. The temperature field in the wall volume was determined on the basis of a numerical solution of the two-dimensional heat conduction problem, and the analysis of the characteristics of temperature distributions was carried out according to the simulation results. The values of the heat transfer coefficient of cooling fins with rectangular cross section were calculated for two variants of heat transfer conditions at the end of the fins in a wide range of dimensionless parameters. The error in calculating the heat transfer coefficient in the approximation of a thin fin was determined by means of a one-dimensional computational model

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.
