Thermomechanical characteristics of the gas flow at the turbocharger compressor outlet largely determine the quality of the intake process in piston engines with boost. The article presents the results of an experimental study of gas-dynamics and heat transfer of gas flows after compression in a turbocharger centrifugal compressor. A brief description of the experimental setup, the configuration of pipes under investigation, the measuring system and the experimental features are given. The studies were carried out on a free compressor, i.e. without considering the piston part. Different conditions in the compressor outlet channel were created by installing special nozzles with different hydraulic resistances. It has been established that the local heat transfer increases from 23 to 46 % with an increase in the turbocharger rotor speed, depending on the outlet channel configuration. It should be noted that an increase in rotor speed is also accompanied by an increase in air flow through the channel. The increase in flow rate was from 10 to 42 %.

It is a relevant objective in thermal physics and piston engine construction to develop technical solutions for controlling the gas dynamics and heat exchange of gas flows in the intake system of turbocharged engines in order to improve performance. The article presents other authors’ data on the improvement of processes in the gas exchange systems of piston engines. It also provides a description of experimental set-ups, instruments, measurement tools and research methods for establishing the thermal-mechanical characteristics of pulsating flows in the intake system of a turbocharged engine. The instantaneous values of the gas flow rate and the local heat transfer coefficient were determined using the measured results by applying a constant temperature hot-wire anemometer (H-WA). The article describes technical solutions for influencing the gas dynamics and heat exchange of gas flows by stabilising and turbulising the flow. The regularities of changes in the instantaneous values of the flow velocity, pressure and the local heat transfer coefficient in time for a pulsating gas flow with different intake system configurations are obtained. It is shown that the installation of a levelling grid in the compressor outlet channel leads to the stabilisation of the flow and the suppression of heat transfer in the engine intake system by an average of 15% compared to the base system. It was found that the presence of a channel with grooves in the intake system leads to flow turbulisation and the intensification of heat transfer in the intake system by an average of 25%.

Liquid Film Flow

In our previous investigations the formation of liquid bump of locally heated laminar liquid film with co-current gas flow was obtained [1,2]. The evaporation of liquid was left out of account. Heat transfer to the gas phase was approximately specified by a constant Biot number [2,3]. The aim of this work is an investigation of the evaporation effect, the hydrodynamics and the heat transfer of liquid film flow in a channel 0.2–1 mm height. The 2-D model of locally heated liquid film moving under gravity and the action of co-current gas flow with low viscosity in a channel are considered. The channel can be inclined at an angle with respect to horizon. It is supposed that the height of the channel is much less than its width. Surface tension is assumed to depend on temperature. The velocity profiles for gas and liquid regions are found from problem of joint motion of isothermal non-deformable liquid film and gas flow. Using the findings the joint solution of heat transfer and diffusion problem with corresponding boundary condition is calculated. Having the temperature field in the whole of liquid and gas flow region we find a local heat transfer coefficient on the gas-liquid interface and Biot number as a function of flow parameters and spatial variables.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Experimental results are reported on the heat transfer and fluid friction of heated hydrogen and helium gas flows undergoing transition from turbulent to laminar flow in a circular tube. The entering Reynolds numbers range from 2350 to 12,500 and the nondimensional heat-flux parameter ranges from 0.0021 to 0.0061. Local heat-transfer coefficients and friction factors are obtained, and the flow transition, which is evident in these results, is verified at small heat fluxes by measuring directly the turbulence intensity at the center line with a hot-wire anemometer. At large heat fluxes, laminarization is found to occur at local bulk Reynolds numbers well in excess of the minimum number for fully turbulent adiabatic flow, and the resulting heat-transfer coefficients are much lower than those associated with fully turbulent flow at the same Reynolds number. The relation between laminarization in heated tubes and in severely accelerated external boundary layers is investigated and some similarities are noted. The acceleration and pressure-gradient parameters used to predict boundary-layer laminarization are modified for tube flow and used to correlate the initiation and completion of laminarization in the heated tube.

Turbine Cascades

The interaction between consecutive blade rows can be expected to have important effects on the heat transfer in cooled gas turbine cascades. In determining the local heat transfer under the influence of wake flow, nonintrusive optical measuring techniques were used to obtain the flow velocities and turbulence structures in the cascade inlet flow as well as along the test blade’s surface. The main purpose of the measurements is to provide accurate experimental data for the development of predictive codes. The applicability primarily of the laser-Doppler technique is discussed and problems arising from the use of laser-dual-focus anemometry are reported. In simulating the effects of wake flow, a plane airfoil was traversed in front of the cascade. Both the axial distance between the airfoil and the cascade and the position in circumferential direction were changed in discrete steps. Turbulence intensities between 1.4 and 15 percent were recorded in cold gas flow. The effects on the blade heat transfer are illustrated.

Urgent Task

Abstract Disclosure of the physical mechanism of the influence of the turbulence intensity of gas flows on the heat transfer level in pipes of different configurations is an urgent task in the field of heat and power engineering. A brief overview of the literature on this topic is given in the article. A description of the boundary conditions for modeling is presented. The main characteristics of the experimental stand and measuring instruments are described. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of the initial turbulence level of a stationary gas flow on the heat transfer intensity in long pipes with different cross sections. The study is carried out using numerical simulation. The simulation results are qualitatively confirmed using experimental data. The values of the local heat transfer coefficient are shown to increase from 5 to 17% with increasing turbulence intensity (from 2 to 10%) in pipes with different cross sections. The heat transfer intensity in a triangular pipe is found to increase up to 30% compared to a round pipe. It is revealed that there is an up to 15% suppression of heat transfer in a square pipe compared to a round pipe. The data obtained may be useful for the design of flow paths and gas exchange systems for power machines and installations.
