Staggered Arrangement

Staggered arrangement is one of the common configurations in heat exchangers that make better mixing of flow and heat transfer augmentation than other arrangements. In this paper forced convection heat transfer over three isothermal circular cylinders in staggered configuration in isotropic packed bed was investigated. In this work laminar 2-D incompressible steady-state equations of momentum and energy were solved numerically by finite volume method. Simulation was done in three Reynolds numbers of 80, 120, and 200. The results indicate that, using porous medium the Nusselt number enhanced considerably for any of cylinders and it presents thin temperature contours for them. Also is shown that by increasing Reynolds number, the heat transfer increased in both channel but the growth rate of it in porous media is larger. In addition, results of simulation in porous channel show that with increasing Peclet number, heat transfer increased logarithmically.

Turbulent Regime

In the present paper, a numerical study has been conducted to investigate the heat transfer from a constant temperature cylinder covered with metal foam. The cylinder is placed horizontally and is subjected to a constant mean cross-flow in turbulent regime. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer equations are combined and used for flow analysis. The energy equation used assumes local thermal equilibrium between fluid and solid phases in porous media. The k-ω SST turbulence model is used to evaluate the eddy viscosity that is implemented in the momentum and energy equations. The flow in the metal foam (porous media) is in laminar regime. Governing equations are solved using the finite volume SIMPLEC algorithm. The effect of thermophysical properties of metal foam such as porosity and permeability on the Nusselt number is investigated. The results showed that using a metal porous layer with low porosity and high Darcy number in high Reynolds number turbulent flows markedly increases heat transfer rates. The corresponding increase in the Nusselt number is as high as 10 times that of a bare tube without the metal foam.

Numerical model of the convective-radiative heat transfer of porous media was proposed. A stainless wire-net was used as porous media. The physical properties, consisting of porosity (φ) and optical thickness (τ0), of porous media were independent variables. The air velocity was reported in the form of Reynolds number (Re). Two equations of the conservative energy with local thermal non-equilibrium were analyzed. The gas (θf) and solid (θs) phases of conservative energy equation inside porous media were investigated. The radiative heat flux (ψ) at down-stream of solid phase emitted into outside was dealt by the P1 approximation. From the study, it was found that the level of θf and θs decreased as Re increased because the effect of convection heat transfer. Inversely, the level of ψ increased as increasing Re. The level of θf, θs and ψ were decreased as φ increased owing to a lower volume of material depended on the increasing level of φ resulting to the heat transfer rate became lower. The level of θf, θs and ψ gave increased with τ0 becaues a wider distance in absorping energy leading to a higher emission energy from the porous media was achieved.
