Computations are performed to determine the transient three-dimensional heat transfer rates and fluid forces acting on a stream-wise spinning sphere for Reynolds numbers in the range 10⩽Re⩽300 and angular velocities Ωx⩽2. In this Re range, classical flow past a solid sphere develops four different flow regimes, and the effects of particle spin are studied in each regime. Furthermore, the combined effects of particle spin and surface blowing are examined. Sphere spin increases drag in all flow regimes, while lift shows a nonmonotonic behavior. Heat transfer rates are not influenced by spin up to a certain Ωx but increase monotonically thereafter. An interesting feature associated with sphere spin is the development of a special wake regime such that the wake simply spins without temporal variations in its shape. For this flow condition, the magnitudes of the lift, drag, and heat transfer coefficients remain constant in time. Correlations are provided for drag and heat transfer.

AbstractThe present investigation deals with the steady three-dimensional flow and heat transfer of nanofluids due to stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field and heat source. Three types of water based nanoparticles namely, copper (Cu), aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are considered in this study. The temperature dependent variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation has been introduced in the energy equation. Using suitable similarity transformations the dimensional non-linear expressions are converted into dimensionless system and are then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme along with well-known shooting technique. The impact of various flow parameters on axial and transverse velocities, temperature, surface frictional coefficients and rate of heat transfer coefficients are visualized both in qualitative and quantitative manners in the vicinity of stretching sheet. The results reviled that the temperature and velocity of the fluid rise with increasing values of variable thermal conductivity parameter. Also, the temperature and normal velocity of the fluid in case of Cu-water nanoparticles is more than that of Al2O3- water nanofluid. On the other hand, the axial velocity of the fluid in case of Al2O3- water nanofluid is more than that of TiO2nanoparticles. In addition, the current outcomes are matched with the previously published consequences and initiate to be a good contract as a limiting sense.

The paper describes two- and three-dimensional computer simulations which are used to study fundamental flow and thermal phenomena in multilouvered fins used for air-side heat transfer enhancement in compact heat exchangers. Results pertaining to flow transition, thermal wake interference, and fintube junction effects are presented. It is shown that a Reynolds number based on flow path rather than louver pitch is more appropriate in defining the onset of transition, and characteristic frequencies in the louver bank scale better with a global length scale such as fin pitch than with louver pitch or thickness. With the aid of computer experiments, the effect of thermal wakes is quantified on the heat capacity of the fin as well as the heat transfer coefficient, and it is established that experiments which neglect accounting for thermal wakes can introduce large errors in the measurement of heat transfer coefficients. Further, it is shown that the geometry of the louver in the vicinity of the tube surface has a large effect on tube heat transfer and can have a substantial impact on the overall heat capacity.

Natural convection in an enclosure with a uniform heat flux on two vertical surfaces and constant temperature at the adjoining walls has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The thermal boundary conditions and enclosure geometry render the buoyancy-induced flow and heat transfer inherently three dimensional. The experimental measurements include temperature distributions of the isoflux walls obtained using an infrared thermal imaging technique, while the three-dimensional equations governing conservation of mass, momentum, and energy were solved using a control volume-based finite difference scheme. Measurements and predictions are in good agreement and the model predictions reveal strongly three-dimensional flow in the enclosure, as well as high local heat transfer rates at the edges of the isoflux wall. Predicted average heat transfer rates were correlated over a range of the relevant dimensionless parameters.

This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.

The work presented is an effort to realize the changes occurring for convective coefficients of heat transfer in STHX fitted with inclined baffles. Effort has been undertaken using Fluent, a commercially available CFD code ona CAD model of small STHX with inclined baffles with cold liquid flowing into the tubes and hot liquid flowing in the shell. Four sets of CFD analysis have been carried out. The hot liquid flow rate through shell compartments varied from 0.2 kg/sec to 0.8 kg/sec in steps of 0.2 kg/sec, while keeping the cold liquid flow condition in tube at 0.4 kg/sec constant. Heat transfer rates, compartment temperatures, and overall heat transfer coefficients, for cold liquid and hot liquid, were studied. The results given by the software using CFD approach were appreciable and comparatively in agreement with the results available by the experimental work, which was undertaken for the same set of inlet pressure conditions, liquid flow rates, and inlet temperatures of liquid for both hot and cold liquids. The experimental output results were also used to validate the results given by the CFD software. The results from the CFD analysis were further used to conclude the effect of baffle inclination on heat duty. The process thus followed also helped realize the effects of baffle inclination on convective heat transfer coefficient of the liquid flow through the shell in an inclined baffle shell and tube heat exchanger. The temperature plots for both cold and hot liquid were also generated for understanding the compartmental temperature distributions inclusive of the inlet and outlet compartments. The heat duty for a heat exchanger has been found to increase with the increase in baffle inclinations from zero degree to 20 degrees. Likewise, the convective heat transfer coefficients have also been found to increase with the increase in baffle inclinations.

The present study compares measured and computed heat transfer coefficients for high-speed boundary layer nozzle flows under engine Reynolds number conditions (U∞=230 ÷ 880 m/s, Re* = 0.37 ÷ 1.07 × 106). Experimental data have been obtained by heat transfer measurements in a two-dimensional, nonsymmetric, convergent–divergent nozzle. The nozzle wall is convectively cooled using water passages. The coolant heat transfer data and nozzle surface temperatures are used as boundary conditions for a three-dimensional finite-element code, which is employed to calculate the temperature distribution inside the nozzle wall. Heat transfer coefficients along the hot gas nozzle wall are derived from the temperature gradients normal to the surface. The results are compared with numerical heat transfer predictions using the low-Reynolds-number k–ε turbulence model by Lam and Bremhorst. Influence of compressibility in the transport equations for the turbulence properties is taken into account by using the local averaged density. The results confirm that this simplification leads to good results for transonic and low supersonic flows.

Convective heat transfer in the cavity between two corotating disks is of great importance for turbomachinery applications. The complex three dimensional and unsteady flow structures induced by the Coriolis forces inside the cavity, and therefore the resulting heat transfer, are challenging to be measured in an experiment or predicted by simulation. In this paper a simplified cavity geometry, characterized experimentally by Long at al., has been chosen. The results obtained with a Very Large Eddy Simulation using Lattice-Boltzmann Method for two operating point with different rotation speeds are compared to the experimental heat transfer coefficients at the wall. The simulation results show the characteristic flow structures and behavior induced by the different regimes. A sensitivity analysis of the results is presented, both for numerical parameters such as grid resolution and for physical parameters, namely the throughflow velocity profile and shroud temperature.
