This work investigates inverse boundary design for radiation, convection and conduction combined-mode heat transfer. The problem consists of finding the heat flux distribution on a heater that satisfies both the temperature and the heat flux prescribed on a design surface of an enclosure formed by two finite parallel plates. A gray participating medium flows in laminar regime between the walls, which are gray, diffuse emitters and absorbers. All the thermal properties are uniform. This problem is described by an ill-conditioned system of non-linear equations. The solution is obtained by regularizing the system of equations by means of truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD).

The heat transfer appropriate to low Reynolds number hot-wire anemometry is calculated from the full non-linear equations of motion and of heat transfer by an iterative method starting with the Oseen solution and its heat flux analogue. The second and third iterates yield close agreement with measured data.

Abstract This work investigates solutions of inverse heat source problems for combined-mode radiation and conduction. The problem consists of finding the heat source distribution in an absorbing-emitting medium that satisfies both the temperature and the heat flux distributions prescribed on the surfaces of a two-dimensional rectangular enclosure. The participating medium is gray, the walls are gray emitters and absorbers, and all the thermal properties are uniform. The combined heat transfer mode problem is described by a system of non-linear equations, which is solved by an iterative procedure. At each iteration a system of linear equations is solved, but, as often occurs in inverse problem, the system of equations is ill-conditioned, and the number of equations and the number of unknowns are not necessarily the same. The solution is obtained by regularizing the system by truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD). It is also discussed how to impose additional conditions to satisfy physical constraints that govern the heat source itself.

Numerical investigations are performed on the convection heat transfer of supercritical pressure fluid flowing through vertical mini tube with inner diameter of 0.27 mm and inlet Reynolds number of 1900 under various heat fluxes conditions using low Reynolds number k-ε turbulence models due to LB (Lam and Bremhorst), LS (Launder and Sharma) and V2F (v2-f). The predictions are compared with the corresponding experimentally measured values. The prediction ability of various low Reynolds number k-ε turbulence models under deteriorated heat transfer conditions induced by combinations of buoyancy and flow acceleration effects are evaluated. Results show that all the three models give fairly good predictions of local wall temperature variations in conditions with relatively high inlet Reynolds number. For cases with relatively low inlet Reynolds number, V2F model is able to capture the general trends of deteriorated heat transfer when the heat flux is relatively low. However, the LS and V2F models exaggerate the flow acceleration effect when the heat flux increases, while the LB model produces qualitative predictions, but further improvements are still needed for quantitative prediction. Based on the detailed flow and heat transfer information generated by simulation, a better understanding of the mechanism of heat transfer deterioration is obtained. Results show that the redistribution of flow field induced by the buoyancy and flow acceleration effects are main factors leading to the heat transfer deterioration.

The one-dimensional steady-state temperature distribution within an isotropic porous bed subjected to a collimated and/or diffuse radiation heat flux and a transparent flowing fluid has been determined by numerical methods. The porous bed was assumed to be nonscattering and to have a constant absorption coefficient. Part of the radiation absorbed by the porous bed is reradiated and the remainder is transferred to the fluid by convection. Due to the assumed finite volumetric heat transfer coefficient, the bed and fluid have different temperatures. A bed with an optical depth of six and with a normal incident collimated radiation heat flux was investigated in detail. The radiation incident on the bed at the fluid exit was assumed to originate from a black surface at the fluid exit temperature. The investigation covered the range of incident diffuse and collimated radiation heat fluxes expected in a nonconcentrating solar energy collector. The results are presented in terms of a bed collection efficiency from which the fluid temperature rise can be calculated.

The effects of contact angle and superheat on thin-film thickness and heat flux distribution occurring in a rectangle microgroove are numerically simulated. Accordingly, physical, and mathematical models are built in detail. Numerical results indicate that meniscus radius and thin-film thickness increase with the improvement of contact angle. The heat flux distribution in the thin-film region increases non-linearly as the contact angle decreases. The total heat transfer through the thin-film region increases with the improvement of superheat, and decreases as the contact angle increases. When the contact angle is equal to zero, the heat transfer in the thin-film region accounts for more than 80% of the total heat transfer. Intensive evaporation in the thin-film region plays a key role in heat transfer for the rectangle capillary microgroove. The liquid with higher wetting performance is more capable of playing the advantages of higher intensity heat transfer in thin- film region. The current investigation will result in a better understanding of thin- -film evaporation and its effect on the effective thermal conductivity in the rectangle microgroove.

The historical approach to averaging the convection coefficient in tubes of constant wall heat flux leads to quantitative errors in short tubes as high as 12.5% for convection into fully developed flows and 33.3% for convection into hydrodynamically developing flows. This mistake can be found in teaching texts and monographs on heat transfer, as well as in major handbooks. Using the correctly defined relationship between local and average convection coefficients, eight new correlations are presented for fully developed and developing flows in round tubes and between parallel plates for the constant wall heat flux condition. These new correlations are within 2% of exact solutions for fully developed flows and within 6% of first principle calculations for hydrodynamically developing flows.

Abstract In the current investigation, by using a very low mass flux co-axial laminar multiphase fluid jet, enhancement in heat transfer rate, uniformity in heat flux distribution, and reduction in coolant consumption rate characteristics are simultaneously tried to achieve in case of cooling from a very high initial temperature (900 °C). The information on quenching technology depicting all the above-mentioned advantages has not been reported in the literature. In the present work, kerosene–water, nanofluid (Al2O3 = 0.15%)–kerosene, and nanofluid (Al2O3 = 0.15%)–polyethylene glycol combinations were used for co-axial cooling experimentation. From the heat transfer analysis, it is observed that nanofluid (Al2O3 = 0.15%) and kerosene combination produces maximum critical heat flux due to the alteration of thermophysical and interfacial properties, which enhance the driving force and flow behavior defining momentum and thermal diffusivities in the favorable direction of heat transfer, respectively. In addition to the above, the comparative study ensures a significant reduction in coolant consumption and augmentation in uniformity in heat flux distribution.
