AbstractThe response of a convective ocean basin to variations in atmospheric temperature is explored using numerical models and theory. The results indicate that the general behavior depends strongly on the frequency at which the atmosphere changes relative to the local response time to air–sea heat flux. For high-frequency forcing, the convective region in the basin interior is essentially one-dimensional and responds to the integrated local surface heat flux anomalies. For low-frequency forcing, eddy fluxes from the boundary current into the basin interior become important and act to suppress variability forced by the atmosphere. A theory is developed to quantify this time-dependent response and its influence on various oceanic quantities. The amplitude and phase of the temperature and salinity of the convective water mass, the meridional overturning circulation, the meridional heat flux, and the air–sea heat flux predicted by the theory compare well with that diagnosed from a series of numerical model calculations in both strongly eddying and weakly eddying regimes. Linearized analytic solutions provide direct estimates of each of these quantities and demonstrate their dependence on the nondimensional numbers that characterize the domain and atmospheric forcing. These results highlight the importance of mesoscale eddies in modulating the mean and time-dependent ocean response to atmospheric variability and provide a dynamical framework with which to connect ocean observations with changes in the atmosphere and surface heat flux.

Several boiling regimes are characterized by intermittent contacts of vapor and liquid at the superheated wall surface. A microthermocouple probe was developed capable of detecting transient surface temperatures with a response time better than 1 ms. The transient temperature data were utilized to determine the time-varying heat flux under liquid contacts. The instantaneous surface heat flux was found to vary by orders of magnitude during the milliseconds of liquid residence at the hot surface. The average heat flux during liquid contact was found to range from 105 to 107 W/m2 for water at atmospheric pressure, as wall superheat was varied from 50 to 450°C.

AbstractA transient surface heating or cooling process of a solid is considered. A procedure for the determination of surface temperature and surface heat flux density during such a process is presented using a submersed temperature sensor in the solid. From this measured temperature the surface temperature and surface heat flux density are calculated by inverse process modelling. This method is prone to errors since measurement errors are amplified in the inverse process modelling and can thus easily become unacceptably large. The LSQR regularisation algorithm is optimised for fast performance as well as less memory requirement and applied to the inverse problem solution. The proposed method allows to simulate an experimental setup and to determine the accuracy of the results gained from the simulated experiment. This is essential for the determination of the accuracy of a planned or existing test facility. The influence of process parameters like sensor depth, sensor noise level, sampling rate, heat flux density amplitude and cooling/heating process duration is investigated. In most cases it is very important to carefully adjust the process parameters in order to obtain reliable and accurate results. Additionally the proper selection of the regularisation parameter required for the inverse problem solution is analysed.

Numerical methods are presented for solving an inverse problem of heat conduction: Given an interior temperature versus time, find the surface heat flux versus time. The analysis is developed specifically for spheres; it applies to other simple shapes. The system is treated as linear, permitting use of the superposition principle. The essence of the method is the numerical inversion of a suitable direct problem: Given a surface heat flux versus time, find an interior temperature versus time. Care is required in selecting a time spacing for, if it is chosen too small in relation to the conditions, undesirable oscillation results. Simplifying suggestions are presented, and the use of the methods are illustrated by examples.

The effect of adding one of three salts (NaCl, Na2SO4 or MgSO4) to water sprayed on a hot surface was studied experimentally. A copper test surface was heated to 240°C and quenched with a water spray. The variation of surface temperature during cooling was recorded, and the surface heat flux calculated from these measurements. Surface heat flux during cooling with pure water sprays was compared with that obtained using salt solutions. Dissolved NaCl or Na2SO4 increased nucleate boiling heat transfer, but had little effect on transition boiling during spray cooling. MgSO4 increased both nucleate and transition boiling heat flux. Enhanced nucleate boiling was attributed to foaming in the liquid film generated by the dissolved salts. MgSO4 produced the largest increase in nucleate boiling heat transfer, Na2SO4 somewhat less and NaCl the least. A concentration of 0.2 mol/l of MgSO4 produced the greatest heat flux enhancement; higher salt concentrations did not result in further improvements. During transition boiling particles of MgSO4 adhered to the heated surface, raising surface roughness and increasing heat transfer. Addition of MgSO4 reduced the time required to cool a hot surface from 240°C to 120°C by an order of magnitude.
