High Heat Transfer

A novel experimental method was developed to measure the rapid transient temperature variations (heating rate > 107 K/s) of porous samples heated by high surface heat fluxes. With a thin film (0.1 μm thick) resistance thermometer of platinum as the temperature sensor and a super-high speed digital oscilloscope (up to 100 MHz) as the data recorder, rapid transient temperature variation in a porous material heated by a microsecond laser pulse of high power density is measured. Experimental results indicate that for high heat transfer cases (q′ > 109 W/m2) with short durations (5 – 20 μs) of heating, non-Fourier heat conduction behaviors appear. The non-Fourier hyperbolic heat conduction model and the traditional Fourier parabolic model are employed to simulate this thermal case respectively and the FDM is used to perform the numerical analysis. The hyperbolic model predicts thermal wave behavior in qualitative agreement with the experimental data.

Flow And Heat Transfer

In this paper we reported an advanced structure, the Piranha Pin Fin (PPF), for microchannel flow boiling. Fluid flow and heat transfer performance were evaluated in detail with HFE7000 as working fluid. Surface temperature, pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux (CHF) were experimentally obtained and discussed. Furthermore, microchannels with different PPF geometrical configurations were investigated. At the same time, tests for different flow conditions were conducted and analyzed. It turned out that microchannel with PPF can realize high-heat flux dissipation with reasonable pressure drop. Both flow conditions and PPF configuration played important roles for both fluid flow and heat transfer performance. This study provided useful reference for further PPF design in microchannel for flow boiling.

Flow And Heat Transfer

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the effects of dimple depth on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a pin fin-dimple channel, where dimples are located spanwisely between the pin fins. The study aimed at promoting the understanding of the underlying convective heat transfer mechanisms in the pin fin-dimple channels and improving the cooling design for the gas turbine components. The flow structure, friction factor, and heat transfer performance of the pin fin-dimple channels with various dimple depths have been obtained and compared with each other for the Reynolds number range of 8200–80,800. The study showed that, compared to the pin fin channel, the pin fin-dimple channels have further improved convective heat transfer performance, and the pin fin-dimple channel with deeper dimples shows relatively higher Nusselt number values. The study still showed a dimple depth-dependent flow friction performance for the pin fin-dimple channels compared to the pin fin channel, and the pin fin-dimple channel with shallower dimples shows relatively lower friction factors over the studied Reynolds number range. Furthermore, the computations showed the detailed characteristics in the distribution of the velocity and turbulence level in the flow, which revealed the underlying mechanisms for the heat transfer enhancement and flow friction reduction phenomenon in the pin fin-dimple channels.
