Mass/heat transfer measurements are made using the naphthalene sublimation method in a square internal passage where one wall has a single dimple. Four types of dimple shapes are studied: square, triangular, circular, and teardrop. Sherwood numbers are obtained both inside and around the dimples. Measurements are made at a Reynolds number of 21,000. In addition, computations are performed for the same dimple geometries, and with the same flow conditions as in the experiments. Flow patterns for the four dimples are identified and heat transfer distributions for each dimple are obtained. The computational results are compared with the experimental data and show satisfactory agreement. Both the experimental and numerical results suggest that the teardrop dimple has the highest heat /mass transfer among the four dimple shapes studied.

Detailed heat/mass transfer distributions are presented inside a two-pass rotating ribbed coolant channel for two profiled-rib configurations. Several profiled-rib configurations have been studied (Acharya et al., 2000), and it was found that the best performance was achieved by saw-tooth ribs, and a pyramid–valley rib combination. The profiled ribs were placed directly opposite to each other on the leading and trailing surfaces. Smooth side walls were used in all the experiments. Heat transfer measurements were compared with straight ribs of equal blockage ratio. The measurements were made in a two-pass rotating facility using the naphthalene sublimation mass transfer technique, which provides highly resolved surface distributions. The results presented are for a Reynolds number of 30,000, two rotation numbers (0 and 0.3), and include average heat/mass transfer over the entire inter-rib module as well as detailed heat/mass transfer contours for two profiled-rib cases. Significant enhancement of up to 25 percent in heat/mass transfer was obtained with the pyramid–valley and saw-tooth shaped ribs under rotating conditions.

Channel Aspect Ratio

This study was an experimental investigation of the effect of an intersecting rib on heat/mass transfer performance in rectangular channels with angled ribs and different aspect ratios. In a rib-roughened channel with angled ribs, heat/mass transfer performance deteriorates as the channel aspect ratio increases, since the vortices induced by angled ribs diminish with increasing aspect ratio. A longitudinal rib that bisects the angled ribs is suggested to overcome this disadvantage. The heat transfer performance of angled rib configurations with a 60° attack angle were tested with and without an intersecting rib using naphthalene sublimation method. The channel aspect ratio is varied from 1 to 4. When the intersecting rib was present, additional vortices were generated at every point of intersection with the angled ribs. Thus the heat/mass transfer performance was significantly enhanced for all channel aspect ratios when an intersecting rib was added to an ordinary angled rib configuration.

Naphthalene Sublimation Technique

The effect of leading edge film cooling on heat transfer was experimentally investigated using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The experiments were performed on a symmetrical model of the leading edge suction side region of a high pressure turbine blade with one row of film cooling holes on each side. Two different lateral inclinations of the injection holes were studied: 0° and 45°. In order to build a data base for the validation and improvement of numerical computations, highly resolved distributions of the heat/mass transfer coefficients were measured. Reynolds numbers (based on hole diameter) were varied from 4000 to 8000 and blowing rate from 0.0 to 1.5. For better interpretation, the results were compared with injection-flow visualizations. Increasing the blowing rate causes more interaction between the jets and the mainstream, which creates higher jet turbulence at the exit of the holes resulting in a higher relative heat transfer. This increase remains constant over quite a long distance dependent on the Reynolds number. Increasing the Reynolds number keeps the jets closer to the wall resulting in higher relative heat transfer. The highly resolved heat/mass transfer distribution shows the influence of the complex flow field in the near hole region on the heat transfer values along the surface.

In this study, the effects of bleed flow on heat/mass transfer in a rotating smooth square channel were investigated. The hydraulic diameter (Dh) of the channel was 40.0mm, and the diameter of the bleed holes (d) on the leading surface was 4.5mm. Tests were conducted under various bleed flow rates (0%, 10%, 20%) and rotation numbers (0, 0.2, 0.4), while the Reynolds number was fixed at 10,000. A naphthalene sublimation method was employed to determine the detailed heat transfer coefficients using a heat and mass transfer analogy. The results suggested heat/mass transfer characteristics in the internal cooling passage to be influenced by tripping flow as well as Coriolis force induced by bleed flow and channel rotation. In cases influenced by bleed flow, the heat/mass transfer on the leading surface was higher than that without bleed flow. The heat/mass transfer on the leading surface increased with the number of rotations to Ro=0.2, after which it decreased due to rotation effects.

Low Reynolds

Low-Reynolds-number laminar channel flow is used in various heat/mass transfer applications, such as cooling and mixing. A low Reynolds number implies a low intensity of heat/mass transfer processes, since they rely only on the gradient diffusion. To enhance these processes, an active flow control by means of synthetic (zero-net-mass-flux) jets is proposed. This arrangement can be promising foremost in microscale. The present study is experimental in which a Reynolds number range of 200–500 is investigated. Measurement was performed mainly in air as the working fluid by means of hot-wire anemometry and the naphthalene sublimation technique. PIV experiments in water are also discussed. The experiments were performed in macroscale at the channel cross-section (20×100)mm and (40×200)mm in air and water, respectively. The results show that the low Reynolds number channel flow can be actuated by an array of synthetic jets, operating near the resonance frequency. The control effect of actuation and the heat transfer enhancement was quantified. The stagnation Nusselt number was enhanced by 10–30 times in comparison with the non-actuated channel flow. The results indicate that the present arrangement can be a useful tool for heat transfer enhancement in various applications, e.g., cooling and mixing.

Pin Fin Array

Pin-fins have been used to enhance the heat transfer near the trailing edge of a turbine airfoil. Previous pin-fin heat transfer studies focused mainly on the array geometry of pin height-to-diameter equal to unity in a stationary frame. This study experimentally examines the effects of pin height-to-diameter ratio (Hp/Dp) from 2 to 4 and rotation number (Ro) from 0 to 0.2. The tested model used a staggered pin-fin array with an inter-pin spacing of 2.5 times the pin-diameter (S/D = 2.5) in both longitudinal and transverse directions. Detailed heat/mass transfer coefficients were measured using the naphthalene sublimation technique with a heat-mass transfer analogy. The data measured suggest that an increase in Hp/Dp increases the level of array heat/mass transfer. Array averaged Sherwood numbers for Hp/Dp = 3 and Hp/Dp = 4 are approximately 10% and 35% higher than that of Hp/Dp = 2. The effect of rotation induces notable difference in heat/mass transfer between the leading surface and the trailing surface. The heat transfer coefficients change a little although the rotating number increases in the tested range because the pin-fins break the rotation-induced vortices.

Multi-layered impingement/effusion cooling is an advanced cooling configuration that combines impingement jet cooling, pin cooling, and effusion cooling. The arrangement of the pins is a critical design factor because of the complex heat transfer in the internal structure. Therefore, it is important to measure the local heat transfer at all internal surfaces as a function of the pin spacing. In this study, a naphthalene sublimation method was employed to measure the details of the heat/mass transfer at the internal surfaces, including the injection plate, effusion plates, and the pins. An staggered array of holes was formed at the injection plate and effusion plates where the ratio of the height to the diameter of the pins, h/d, was fixed at 0.25. The ratio of the pin spacing to the diameter, sp/d, was varied in the range 1.5≤sp/d≤6, and the Reynolds number based on the hole diameter was 3000. As a result, a vortex ring formed near the pin, leading to re-impingement flows in the narrow channel. The jet flow impinged strongly on the pin, resulting in a large heat transfer region at each surface. The total average Sherwood number with sp/d=1.5 was larger than that with sp/d=6 by a factor of 1.5.

The Difference

A heat-mass transfer analogy based on the ‘universal’ velocity profile applied to an annulus is compared with analogy values based on similar but more sophisticated expressions for the eddy diffusivity and hence velocity profile. The difference between these analogy values and those of Chilton and Colburn (I)† are noted to be appreciable and to increase with increasing Reynolds number. Heat transfer predictions from mass transfer measurements using ‘universal’ velocity profile type analogies are compared with established results. Friction factor measurements were made and found to be up to 10 per cent higher than the values for flow in a round tube at the corresponding Reynolds number.
