This work concerns numerical modelling and computer simulations of temperature field and phase transformations during Yb:YAG laser heating of sheets made of S355 steel. The distribution of laser power emitted by Trumpf laser head D70 is used in the analysis. The heat source is modelled on the basis of interpolation algorithms using geostatistical kriging method. Coupled heat transfer and fluid flow in the fusion zone are described respectively by transient heat transfer equation with convective term and Navier-Stokes equation. The kinetics of phase transformations and volumetric fractions of arising phases are obtained on the basis of Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) and Koistinen-Marburger (KM) models. Continuous Heating Transformation (CHT) diagram is used for heating process and Continuous Cooling Transformation (CCT) diagram is used for heated steel with the decomposition of final volume fractions of phases transformed form austenite dependant on cooling rates.

Abstract A convection system can be designed as an energy-efficient one by making a considerable reduction in exergy losses. In this context, entropy generation analysis is performed on the infrared suppression system numerically. In addition, results due to heat transfer are also shown. The numerical solution of the Navier-stokes equation, energy equation, and turbulence equation is executed using ANSYS Fluent 15.0. To perform the numerical analysis, different parameters such as the number of funnels, Rayleigh number (Ra), inner surface temperature, and geometric ratio are varied in the practical range. Results are shown in terms of heat transfer, entropy generation, irreversibility (due to heat transfer and fluid friction), and Bejan number with some relevant parameters. Streamlines and temperature contours are also provided for better visualization of temperature and flow field around the device. Results show that heat transfer and mass flow rate increase with the increase in Ra. Entropy generation and the irreversibility rise with an increase in the number of funnels and geometric ratio. Also, the Bejan number decreases with an increase in Ra and the number of funnels. A cooling time is also obtained using the lumped capacitance method.

In order to evaluate the efficacy of grooves on cooling performance of wet clutch, a numerical analysis based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT is presented in this study. This analysis is based on the numerical solution of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation, coupled with the energy equation in the flow and the heat conduction equations in the friction material and the core disk. The turbulence characteristics were predicted using RNGk-ε model. The flow field and temperature distributions in radial grooves are obtained. It is shown that radial grooves possess the highest heat exchange performance at the entrance and is not linear distribution in the radial direction and cooling oil flow has a little effect on the highest temperature of friction plate. With the developed analysis method, it is possible to easily and quickly investigate the heat transfer behaviour of wet cluth with groove patterns.

Abstract Natural convention, the heat transfer on fluid due to density differences that can be caused by differences in fluid temperature. One example application of natural convection is cooling system, such as nuclear reactor cooling system. The purpose of this study is to analysis the basic characteristic heat transfer of sodium liquid in the natural circulation system for steady state analysis and transient characteristic with Finite Element Method. The selected module is the Non-Isothermal FLow (NITF) module. This module is a combination of three basic equations, namely the continuity equation, the Navier-Stokes equation, and the dynamic equation of heat transfer in fluid. The simulation model measures 1.5 x 2 (m) with sodium liquid (Na) as a fluid.

Fully developed forced convective heat transfer in a parallel-plate channel partially filled with highly porous, open-celled metallic foam is analytically investigated. The Navier–Stokes equation for the hollow region is connected with the Brinkman–Darcy equation in the foam region by the flow coupling conditions at the porous–fluid interface. The energy equation for the hollow region and the two energy equations of solid and fluid for the foam region are linked by the heat transfer coupling conditions. The normalized closed-form analytical solutions for velocity and temperature are also obtained to predict the flow and temperature fields. The explicit expression for Nusselt number is also obtained through integration. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of different factors on the flow resistance and heat transfer performance. The analytical solution can provide useful information for related heat transfer enhancement with metallic foams and establish a benchmark for similar work.

This study aims to predict heat transfer from a heated bed in a gas fluidized bed using Syamlal-OBrien drag coefficient. Discrete particles model with the Navier-Stokes equation and Eulerian multiphase are used to approach heat transfer simulation. Coefficient of heat transfer which is related to Nusselt Number and volume fraction are calculated using Gunn model which was compiled from C++ program language. The effect of fluidization velocity variation on the heat transfer coefficient comes to the fore, indicating the heat transfer and solid volume fraction at the bed height are very dependent. Contour of solid volume fraction and temperature distribution are also presented.

In the present work the bubble dynamics and heat transfer associated with lateral bubble merger during transition from partial to fully developed nucleate boiling is studied numerically. Complete Navier–Stokes equation in three dimensions along with the continuity and energy equations are solved using the SIMPLE method. The liquid vapor interface is captured using the Level-Set technique. Calculations are carried out for multiple bubble mergers in a line and also in a plane and the bubble dynamics and wall heat transfer are compared to that for a single bubble. The results show that merger of multiple bubbles significantly increases the overall wall heat transfer. This enhanced wall heat transfer is caused by trapping of liquid layer between the bubble bases during merger and by drawing of cooler liquid towards the wall during contraction after merger. Good agreement with data from experiments is found in bubble growth rate and bubble shapes obtained from numerical simulations.
