Convective cooling channels are applied in a two-dimensional compressor vane to use the intercooling method to improve the efficiency of Brayton cycle and reduce the temperature of the vane. In this paper, we analyze the effect of coolant to the aerodynamic performance and heat transfer performance of the main stream and the vane. For the case of a two-dimensional compressor vane NACA65-(12A2I8b)10, the vane which has five convective cooling channels has been numerically simulated in different test conditions by discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. The coolant is supercritical carbon dioxide whose pressure is 10MPa. Conjugate heat transfer method has been used in this paper. The numerical simulation result is similar to the experiment data and has been compared with the result of the vane without cooling channels to prove the effect of cooling channels. Cooling channels have large effect on the distribution of temperature and heat transfer coefficient. In addition, the relationship between Nu and Re on the fluid-solid interface has been analyzed and a suitable empirical equation has been obtained. This work analyzes the effect of intercooling system in the compressor and give several advice on future engineering applications in aero engines and gas turbines.

Thermal analysis of forced air cooling of an electronic component is modeled as a two-dimensional conjugate heat transfer problem. The velocity field in a constricted channel is first computed. Then, for a typical electronic module, the energy equation is solved with allowance for discontinuities in the thermal conductivity. Variation of the maximum temperature with the average air velocity is presented. The importance of our approach in evaluating possible benefits due to changes in component design and the limitations of the two-dimensional model are discussed.

Laminar two dimensional forced convective heat transfer of Al2O3–water nanofluid in a horizontal microchannel has been studied numerically, considering axial conduction, viscous dissipation and variable properties effects. The existing criteria in the literature for considering viscous dissipation in energy equation are compared for different cases and the most proper one is applied for the rest of the paper. The results showed that nanoparticles enhance heat transfer characteristics of the channel and inversely, viscous dissipation causes the Nusselt number and friction factor to decrease. The viscous dissipation effect may be emphasized by increasing Reynolds number and decreased by raising the exerted heat flux. Also, it was found that there is a critical Reynolds number below which the average Nusselt number of the nanofluid changes abnormally with Reynolds number as a result of variable properties effect.

Effects of protrusions on heat transfer in a microtube and in a two-dimensional microchannel of finite wall thickness were investigated for various shapes and sizes of the protrusion. Calculations were done for incompressible flow of a Newtonian fluid with developing momentum and thermal boundary layers under uniform and discrete heating conditions. It was found that the local Nusselt number near the protrusions changes significantly with the variations of Reynolds number, height, width, and distance between protrusions, and the distribution of discrete heat sources. The results presented in the paper demonstrate that protrusions can be used advantageously for the enhancement of local heat transfer whereas the global performance may be enhanced or diminished based on the tube geometry.

A transient two-dimensional thermosyphon model is presented that accounts for conjugate heat transfer through the wall and the falling condensate film. The complete transient two-dimensional conservation equations are solved for the vapor flow and pipe wall, and the liquid film is modeled using a quasi-steady Nusselt-type solution. The model is verified by comparison with existing experimental data for a low-temperature thermosyphon with good agreement. A typical high-temperature thermosyphon was then simulated to examine the effects of vapor compressibility and conjugate heat transfer.
