Local instantaneous heat transfer between a submerged horizontal cylinder and a gas-fluidized bed operating in the bubble-flow regime was measured and the resulting signals analyzed. Unique to this investigation is the division of particle convective heat transfer into transient and steady-state contact dynamics through analysis of instantaneous heat transfer signals. Transient particle convection results from stationary particles in contact with the heat transfer surface and yields a heat transfer rate that decays exponentially in time. Steady-state particle convection results from active particle mixing at the heat transfer surface and results in a relatively constant heat transfer rate during emulsion phase contact. The average time of contact for each phase is assessed in this study. Signals were acquired using a constant-temperature platinum film heat flux sensor. Instantaneous heat transfer signals were obtained for various particle sizes by varying the angular position of the heat transfer probe and the fluidization velocity. Individual occurrences of emulsion phase heat transfer that are steady-state in nature are characterized by contact times significantly higher than both the mean transient and mean emulsion phase contact times under the same operating conditions. Transient and steady-state contact times are found to vary with angular position, particle size, and fluidizing velocity. Due to the extremely short transient contact times observed under these fluidization conditions, mean transient heat transfer coefficients are approximately equal to the mean steady-state heat transfer coefficients.

This paper presents the results of heat transfer measurements taken on a two-dimensional supersonic parallel diffuser. The wall static pressure distributions and the corresponding heat transfer coefficients and fluxes have been measured for a range of initial total pressures. The effects of varying the area of the diffuser cross-section for the same upstream generating nozzle have also been studied. Mach number profiles measured at sections along the diffuser show that in the presence of shock waves and a positive pressure gradient the flow is very much underdeveloped. In general, the mean level of heat transfer is found to be much greater than that predicted by conventional empirical equations for subsonic pipe flows with zero pressure gradient. Further, on comparison between normal and oblique shock diffusion the former is found to give the higher level of heat transfer.

Heat transfer characteristics were measured for inline and staggered arrays of circular jets impinging on a surface parallel to the jet orifice plate. The impinging flow was constrained to exit in a single direction along the channel formed by the jet plate and the heat transfer surface. In this configuration the air discharged from upstream transverse rows of jet holes imposes a crossflow of increasing magnitude on the succeeding downstream jet rows. Streamwise heat transfer coefficient profiles were determined for a streamwise resolution of one-third the streamwise hole spacing, utilizing a specially constructed test surface. These profiles are characterized by significant periodic variations. The downstream amplitudes are diminished by the increasing crossflow magnitude, but can persist for at least ten rows of holes. Results were obtained for streamwise hole spacings of 5, 10, and 15 hole diameters; transverse hole spacings of 4, 6, and 8 diameters; and channel heights of 1, 2, and 3 diameters. The number of transverse hole rows was fixed at ten for all configurations. The characteristics of the periodic variations are presented and discussed as a function of the geometric parameters, including the effect of hole pattern.

Accurate determination of convective heat transfer coefficients on complex curved surfaces is essential in the aerothermal design and analysis of propulsion system components. The heat transfer surfaces are geometrically very complex in most of the propulsion applications. This study focuses on the evaluation of a hue capturing technique for the heat transfer interpretation of liquid crystal images from a complex curved heat transfer surface. Impulsively starting heat transfer experiments in a square to rectangular transition duct are reported. The present technique is different from existing steady-state hue capturing studies. A real-time hue conversion process on a complex curved surface is adopted for a transient heat transfer technique with high spatial resolution. The study also focuses on the use of encapsulated liquid crystals with narrow color band in contrast to previous steady-state hue based techniques using wide band liquid crystals. Using a narrow band crystal improves the accuracy of the heat transfer technique. Estimated uncertainty for the heat transfer coefficient from the technique is about 5.9 percent. A complete heat transfer map of the bottom surface was possible using only seven liquid crystal image frames out of the 97 available frames during the transient experiment. Significant variations of heat transfer coefficients are quantitatively visualized on the curved surfaces of the transition duct.

A warm (315°C) wind tunnel test facility equipped with a linear cascade of film cooled vane airfoils was used in the simultaneous determination of the local gas side heat transfer coefficients and the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. The test rig can be operated in either a steady-state or a transient mode. The steady-state operation provides adiabatic film cooling effectiveness values while the transient mode generates data for the determination of the local heat transfer coefficients from the temperature–time variations and of the film effectiveness from the steady wall temperatures within the same aerothermal environment. The linear cascade consists of five airfoils. The 14 percent cascade inlet free-stream turbulence intensity is generated by a perforated plate, positioned upstream of the airfoil leading edge. For the first transient tests, five cylinders having roughly the same blockage as the initial 20 percent axial chord of the airfoils were used. The cylinder stagnation point heat transfer coefficients compare well with values calculated from correlations. Static pressure distributions measured over an instrumented airfoil agree with inviscid predictions. Heat transfer coefficients and adiabatic film cooling effectiveness results were obtained with a smooth airfoil having three separate film injection locations, two along the suction side, and the third one covering the leading edge showerhead region. Near the film injection locations, the heat transfer coefficients increase with the blowing film. At the termination of the film cooled airfoil tests, the film holes were plugged and heat transfer tests were conducted with non-film cooled airfoils. These results agree with boundary layer code predictions.

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of the effect of oil on the heat transfer rate at boiling of mixed refrigerant R406A. Since the air conditioning system is not a pure refrigerant, but a mixture of oil with a concentration of up to 8%, such an amount of oil affects both hydrodynamics and heat exchange in the evaporators. The experimental work covers the entire range of regime parameters typical for these systems. There is shown the process of changing oil concentration in the pipe, as the working fluid boils, proving that most of the oil pipe does not impair the heat exchange in the course of two-phase flow boiling. Different modes of refrigerant R406A boiling dynamics have been defined, and each mode is given a quantitative assessment in terms of the effects of the oil and explaining of this effect on the fluid flow and heat transfer based on visual observations and the experiment results. The main factor of the effect is the freon-oil foam, which increases the proportion of the wetted surface in the wave and stratified modes and the heat transfer rate to 30%. A comparison of the heat transfer coefficients both in the cross section and along the pipe length has been performed, showing that the maximum change in heat transfer occurs in the upper part of the surface due to developing a dry wall on it and wetting it with freon-oil foam. A comparison of the heat transfer rate of pure refrigerant R406A has been done; the presence of oil in it shows that the effect of oil is complex and ambiguous. Calculation and criterion dependences for calculation of heat transfer coefficients in different modes have been proposed.

A mesh partitioning strategy is presented which facilitates the application of boundary conditions to irregular shaped cooling channels in the pressure diecasting process. The strategy is used to partition a boundary element mesh, but can also be applied to the surface of a cooling channel bounded by a finite element mesh. The partitioning of the mesh into a series of element packs enables a one-dimensional flow model to be applied to the coolant. The flow model is used in conjunction with a steady-state thermal model which initially assumes that no boiling is taking place on the die/coolant interface. Values of bulk temperature, pressure, and velocity in the coolant are thus ascertained. This information, together with die temperatures, is then used in empirical relationships which model the various heat transfer mechanisms, including nucleate and transitional film boiling, between die and coolant. Effective heat transfer coefficients are calculated and applied at the die/coolant interface. The steady-state thermal code and the empirical boiling model are then used iteratively until stable values for the effective heat transfer coefficients are obtained. The models are tested by casting a small thin component using a die with conventional cooling channels and also using a novel die with irregular shaped cooling channels running on a hot chamber proprietary die casting machine. Simulation results are shown and experimental results using the hot chamber pressure die casting machine are reported. [S1087-1357(00)02302-9]

Heat is transferred between the fluid and the surroundings in the wellbore. Quantitative knowledge of wellbore heat transfer is important in drilling and production operations. A new model of wellbore heat transfer using finite element analysis is developed in this study. This solution assumes the heat transfer in the wellbore is steady state and only happens in radial direction. The model considers heat gained due to wellbore pressure loss in circulation, which is more accurate in temperature calculation. The overall heat resistance in the wellbore is analyzed, taking into account the film heat transfer coefficients difference between the tube and the annulus. Previous literature has been reviewed to determine the correlation which can be used in the model.

Nowadays, steam turbines in conventional power plants deal with an increasing number of startups due to the high share of fluctuating power input of renewable generation. Thus, the development of new methods for flexibility improvements, such as reduction of the start-up time and its costs, have become more and more important. At the same time, fast start-up and flexible steam turbine operation increase the lifetime consumption and reduce the inspection intervals. One possible option to prevent these negative impacts of a flexible operation is to keep the steam turbine warm during a shut down and a startup. In order to do so, General Electric has developed a concept for warm-keeping respectively pre-warming of a high-pressure (HP) / intermediate-pressure (IP) steam turbine with hot air: After a certain cool-down phase, air is passed through the turbine while the turbine is rotated by the turning engine. The flow and the rotational direction can be inverted to optimize the warming operation. In order to fulfill the requirements of high flexibility in combination with reduced costs and thermal stresses during the start-up, a detailed investigation of the dominant heat transfer effects and the corresponding flow structure is necessary: Complex numerical approaches, such as Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT), can provide this corresponding information and help to understand the physical impact of the flow phenomena. The aim of the present work is thus to understand the predominant heat transport phenomena in warm-keeping operation and to gain detailed heat transfer coefficients within the flow channel for blade, vane and shrouds. A multitude of steady-state simulations were performed to investigate the different warm-keeping operation points. Data from literature was recomputed in good agreement to qualitatively validate the numerical model in windage operation. Furthermore, the steady-state simulations were compared with transient Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to verify that the flow in warming operation can be simulated with a steady-state case. The transient calculations confirm the steady-state results. A variation of the mass flow rate and the rotational speed was conducted to calculate a characteristic map of heat transfer coefficients. The Conjugate Heat Transfer simulations provide an insight into the flow structure and offer a comparison with the flow phenomena in conventional operation. In addition, the impact of the flow phenomena on the local heat transfer was investigated.

The plate and concentric tube heat exchangers are tested by using the water-water and nanofluid-water streams. The ZnO/Water (0.5%v/v) nanofluid has been used as the hot stream. The heat transfer rate omitted of hot stream and overall heat transfer coefficients in both heat exchangers are measured as a function of hot and cold streams mass flow rates. The experimental results show that the heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficients of the nanofluid in both of the heat exchangers is higher than that of the base liquid (i.e., water) and the efficiency of plate heat exchange is higher than concentric tube heat exchanger. In the plate heat exchanger the heat transfer coefficient of nanofluid at mcold = mhot = 10 gr/sec is about 20% higher than base fluid and under the same conditions in the concentric heat exchanger is 14% higher than base fluid. The heat transfer rate and heat transfer coefficients increases with increase in mass flow rates of hot and cold streams. Also the CFD1 code is used to simulate the performance of the mentioned heat exchangers. The CFD results are compared to the experimental data and showed good agreement. It is shown that the CFD is a reliable tool for investigation of heat transfer of nanofluids in the various heat exchangers.
