Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer in an arbitrary cavity filled with porous medium. The geometry of the cavity is such that an isothermal heating source is placed centrally at the bottom of the cavity. The height and width of the heating source is varied to analyses its effect on the heat transfer characteristics. The investigation is carried out for three different cases of outer boundary conditions such as two outside vertical walls being maintained at cold temperature To, two vertical and top horizontal surface being heated to. To and the third case with top surface kept at To but other surfaces being adiabatic. Design/methodology/approach Finite element method is used to solve the governing equations. Findings It is observed that the cavity exhibits unique heat transfer behavior as compared to regular cavity. The cases of boundary conditions are found to affect the heat transfer rate in the porous cavity. Originality/value This is original work representing the heat transfer in irregular porous cavity with various boundary conditions. This work is neither being published nor under review in any other journal.

Heat transfer at nanometer scale attracts a lot of interest from both academia and industries. The hard disk drive (HDD) industry cares about the heat transfer between the head and disk, as several heating and thermal sensing elements are integrated into the HDD system. Understanding the heat transfer mechanism and its dependency on spacing becomes very critical for heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). In this paper, we propose a new method to study the head disk spacing effects on heat transfer by introducing a small perturbation to the spacing while maintaining the heating source unchanged. The dependency of heat transfer on the nanoscale spacing provides insights to the understanding of heat transfer mechanisms inside the nanoscale gap.

The thermal oil is applied as the heat transfer fluid in a solar parabolic trough collector system. Firstly, the system dynamic model was established and validated by the real operating data in typical summer and spring days in references. Secondly, the alteration characteristics of different solar radiation, inlet water temperature and flow rate, and collectors’ area and length are analyzed and compared with the normal working condition. The model can be used for studying, system designing, and better understanding of the performance of parabolic trough systems.

Results are presented experimentally measuring the localized temperature profile due to microscale boiling of a silicon-Pyrex bonded wafer with a 100 μm deep, 500 μm wide and six mm long microchannel. Experiments were performed using an infrared camera equipped with a magnifying lens. By using a camera, the dynamic temperature profile is shown from the inside channel all the way out to where the temperature of the wafer reaches the bulk temperature of the heating source. Temperature profiles are shown for both water and methanol as the working fluid applying between five and twenty degrees Celsius of superheat to the bulk wafer. Using these results, a discussion of the relevant heat transfer modes and nondimensional numbers is given to gain insight into the range of influence that phase change in a microchannel has on the temperature of the wafer. Additionally, discussion is given about modeling of microscale phase change using a commercial fluid dynamics software package. The importance of these results with respect to implementation into the fuel intake manifold for a micro engine based portable power system is also discussed.

Three-dimensional models of heat transfer have been established and numerically solved using a commercial software package, Fluent, in order to obtain distributions of temperature, velocity, pressure, and liquid volume fraction of the polymer. The influences of the boundary conditions on the phase change of the polymer and the temperature distribution in the die have been evaluated. The results show that the temperature of the region close to the pelletizing surface is relatively low due to the cooling effect of the cool water, while the temperature deeper inside the die is higher, with a lower temperature gradient, as a result of the heating effect of the hot thermal oil and the polymer. A solidification phase change of the polymer occurs near the polymer outlet due to heat loss from the polymer to the water, while deeper inside the hole the polymer remains fluid without solidification, due to heating by the thermal oil. Numerical simulation provides a reliable method to optimize the design of the die, the choice of metallic material for the die, and the operating conditions of the polymer pelletizing under water.
