The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The work is a part of a thermodynamic analysis of a finned cross-flow heat exchanger of the liquid-gas type. The heat transfer coefficients on the liquid and the gas side and the area of the heat transfer are the main parameters describing such a device. The basic problem in computations of such heat exchangers is determination of the coefficient of the heat transfer from the finned surfaces to the gas. The differences in the heat transfer coefficient local values resulting from the non-uniform flow of mediums through the exchanger complicates the analysis additionally. Six Nusselt number relationships are selected as suitable for the considered heat exchanger, and they are used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient for the air temperature ranging from 10°C to 30°C and for the velocity values ranging from 2 m/s to 20 m/s. In the next step, the gas-side heat transfer coefficient is determined by means of numerical simulations using a numerical model of a repetitive fragment of the heat exchanger under consideration. Finally, the Wilson plot method is also used. The work focuses on an analysis of the in-house HEWES code sensitivity to the method of the heat transfer coefficient determination. The authors believe that the analysis may also be useful for the evaluation of different methods of the heat transfer coefficient computation.

Flower baffle heat exchanger’s structure and design idea is introduced. Flower baffle heat exchanger has unique support structure. It can both enhance the efficiency of the heat transfer and reduce the pressure drop. Through the experimental study, under the same shell side flow, the heat transfer coefficient K which the distance between two flower baffles is 134mm is higher 3%~9% than the one of which the distances between two flower baffles are 163mm,123mm. The heat transfer coefficient K which the distance between two flower baffles is 147mm is close to the one of which the distances between two flower baffles is 134mm. The shell volume flow V is higher, the incremental quantity of heat transfer coefficient K is more. The integrated performance K/Δp of flower baffle heat exchanger which the distance between two flower baffles is 134mm is higher 3%~9% than the one of which the distances between two flower baffles are 163mm,123mm. Therefore, the best distance between two flower baffles exists between 134mm~147mm this experiment.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Cooling channels, roughened with repeated ribs, are commonly employed as a means of cooling turbine blades. The increased level of mixing induced by these ribs enhances the convective heat transfer in the blade cooling cavities. Many previous investigations have focused on the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces between these ribs and only a few studies report the heat transfer coefficient on the rib surfaces themselves. The present study investigated the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces of round-corner, low-aspect-ratio (ARrib = 0.667) ribs. Twelve rib geometries, comprising three rib height-to-channel hydraulic diameters (blockage ratios) of 0.133, 0.167, and 0.25 as well as three rib spacings (pitch-to-height ratios) of 5, 8.5, and 10 were investigated for two distinct thermal boundary conditions of heated and unheated channel walls. A square channel, roughened with low-aspect-ratio ribs on two opposite walls in a staggered manner and perpendicular to the flow direction, was tested. An instrumented copper rib was positioned either in the middle of the rib arrangements or in the furthest upstream location. Both rib heat transfer coefficient and channel friction factor for these low-aspect-ratio ribs were also compared with those of square ribs, reported previously by the authors. Heat transfer coefficients of the furthest upstream rib and that of a typical rib located in the middle of the rib-roughened region of the passage wall were also compared.

A confined jet impingement configuration has been investigated in which the matter of interest is the convective heat transfer from the airflow to the passage walls. The geometry is similar to gas turbine applications. The setup is distinct from usual cooling passages by the fact that no crossflow and no bulk flow direction are present. The flow exhausts through two staggered rows of holes opposing the impingement wall. Hence, a complex 3-D vortex system arises, which entails a complex heat transfer situation. The transient Thermochromic Liquid Crystal (TLC) method was used to measure the heat transfer on the passage walls. Due to the nature of the experiment, the fluid as well as the wall temperature vary with location and time. As a prerequisite of the transient TLC technique, the heat transfer coefficient is assumed to be constant over the transient experiment. Therefore, additional measures were taken to qualify this assumption. The linear relation between heat flux and temperature difference could be verified for all measurement sites. This validates the assumption of a constant heat transfer coefficient which was made for the transient TLC experiments. Nusselt number evaluations from all techniques show a good agreement, considering the respective uncertainty ranges. For all sites the Nusselt numbers range within ±9% of the values gained from the TLC measurement.
