An experimental study was made of heat transfer with gas injection through a porous wall into a pool of liquid, including vaporization effects. Air bubbling from the surface of a graphite cylinder into water at atmospheric pressure was used. It was possible to determine limits on energy transfer due to convection and to latent heat transport. It was found that under some conditions it was possible to operate the system with the surface rejecting heat while at temperatures less than that of the bulk pool liquid.

An experimental study on a laboratory scale prototype packed-bed latent heat thermal energy storage (TES) system is presented. Spherical capsules of sodium nitrate melting point of 306°C were used as the PCM and air was used as the heat transfer fluid (HTF). The storage system was operated between 286°C to 326°C and the volumetric flow rate of the HTF was varied from 110 m3/hr to 151 m3/hr. Temperature distribution along the bed and inside the capsules was monitored continuously during charging and discharging of the system. The effect of mass flow rate of the HTF on the charging and discharging time and on the pressure drop across the bed was also evaluated.

On the condition of water multiple jet impingements, a steady-state experimental study had been conducted for boiling heat transfer in an atmospheric pressure. The jet velocity was 0.95~1.59m/s and the sub-cooling degrees of jet fluid were 30~83°C.The results revealed that increasing either jet velocity or sub-cooling degrees would promote the heat flux through heated surface, and the effect was more pronounced in partial boiling regime than fully-developed boiling regime. The heat transfer with multiple jets is enhanced due to disturbance of different impingements. With modification of the factor which related to flow distance of fluid on heated surface, correlation which is applicable to one single impinging jet boiling, can also be used to calculate critical heat flux(CHF) in boiling heat transfer with multiple impinging jets.

Abstract. The knowledge of the dynamics of forced convection heat transfer in porous media is relevant in order to optimize the efficiency of geothermal installations in aquifers. In some applications groundwater is used directly as thermal fluid. The system uses one or several drilling holes to pump and deliver groundwater with a heat exchange system at surface (open loop). Other applications use vertical borehole heat exchangers without injection or extraction of groundwater (closed loop). In both systems the convection flow dynamics in porous media play an important role on the heat production. The present study is aimed at extending this thematic issue through heat transport experiments and their interpretation at laboratory scale. An experimental study to evaluate the dynamics of forced convection heat transfer in a thermally isolated column filled with porous medium has been carried out. The behavior of two porous media having different grain sizes and specific surfaces has been observed. The experimental data have been compared with an analytical solution for one dimensional heat transport for local non thermal equilibrium condition. The interpretation of the experimental data shows that, the heterogeneity of the porous medium affects heat transport dynamics causing a channeling effect which has consequences on thermal dispersion phenomena and heat transfer between fluid and solid phases limiting the capacity to store or dissipate heat in the porous medium.
