Local endwall heat transfer characteristics and overall pressure loss of normal and inclined pin fins arrayed in rectangular ducts with flat and wavy endwalls have been investigated to improve the cooling efficiency of jet engine combustor liners. The detailed time-mean local Nusselt number profiles were measured using a naphthalene sublimation method based on the heat/mass transfer analogy. Four kinds of angled pin fins (−45, 0, and +45 deg with a flat endwall, and −45 deg with a wavy endwall) were tested and compared with each other. As a result, the average heat transfer coefficient on the flat endwall of normal pin fins was higher than that of the angled pin fins. The average heat transfer coefficient of −45-deg inclined pin fins with a wavy endwall is the same or a little higher than the heat transfer coefficient of those with a flat endwall; however, the pressure loss of the −45-deg inclined pin fins with a wavy endwall is less than the pressure loss of those with a flat endwall. Corresponding numerical simulations using large eddy simulation (LES) with the mixed time scale (MTS) model have been also conducted at Red = 1000 for fully developed regions, and the results have shown good quantitative agreement with mass transfer experiments. It can be concluded that wavy endwalls can realize better heat transfer with less pressure loss as long as the aim consists in enhancing endwall heat transfer in inclined pin-fin channels.

Experimental investigation of parallel plate fin and the crosscut pin fin heat sinks where the heating element placed asymmetrically is performed. Theoretical calculations were done and compared with the experimental results. A comparative study was made based on their efficiencies, heat transfer coefficient, and the thermal performance. From the experimental results it was found that the average heat transfer coefficient of parallel plate fins is higher than that of crosscut pin fins with many perforations. However the performance efficiency of both the crosscut pin fins and parallel plate fins is similar. A hybrid approach was employed to significantly optimize the distance between the fan and heat sink for parallel plate and crosscut pin fins. Parallel plate heat sink with an average heat transfer coefficient of 46 W/m?K placed at an optimum fan distance of 40-60 mm is selected as the suitable choice for the micro-electronic cooling when the heating element is placed asymmetrically.

Extensive tests were conducted to obtain thermal characteristics of pin fin heat sinks with pins of square cross-section under different top and side bypass conditions. A consistent set of aluminum heat sinks with constant planform area and variable pitch were utilized. The heat sinks were tested in an adjustable cross-section wind tunnel, which provides 0 to 1 top and 0 to 10 side clearance ratios. The base temperature of the heat sinks was measured under constant heat flux. The overall thermal resistance and average heat transfer coefficient of the heat sinks were calculated and the influence of top and side bypass was explored. The thermal experimental data were consistent with the previous hydraulic experimental data. With the increase of flow velocity, flow transition from laminar to turbulent flow was revealed by the thermal resistance data. It was found that the average heat transfer coefficient depends strongly on the flow velocity through the heat sinks. Heat sinks with side clearance only result in smaller overall thermal resistance compared to top clearance only at the same clearance ratio. In some cases, the heat sinks with a small side clearance had better thermal performance than the same heat sinks without clearance. The empirical equation for infinitely long tube bundles of circular cross-section was used to correlate the thermal experimental data.

На основе уравнений теплопереноса в движущейся среде и соотношений теплопередачи в термоэлектрическом охладителе приведен сравнительный анализ методик расчета поля температуры в теплонапряженном элементе. Рассмотрены методики на основе: 1) теплового баланса, 2) среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи, 3) дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи, 4) прямого расчета в рамках метода конечных элементов. Установлено, что первые две методики не дают адекватного распределения поля температур, но могут быть полезны для определения принципиальной возможности заданного охлаждения с использованием термоэлектрических элементов. Последние две методики позволяют корректно рассчитать температурное поле, но для использования третьей методики необходим дифференциальный коэффициент теплоотдачи, который может быть найден из расчета по четвертой методике. Сделан вывод о необходимости комбинированного использования методик в общем случае. Методы теплового баланса и среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи позволяют определить принципиальную возможность использования термоэлектрического охлаждения конкретного теплонапряженного элемента (ТЭ). Реальные параметры системы охлаждения должны определяться в рамках комбинации методов дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи и конечных элементов (МКЭ). Первый из них позволяет определить теплонапряженные области и рассчитать параметры системы охлаждения, которые обеспечивают тепловую разгрузку этих областей. Второй метод используется для проведения численных экспериментов по определению коэффициента теплоотдачи реальной конструкции The article presents on the basis of the equations of heat transfer in a moving medium and the relations of heat transfer in a thermoelectric cooler, a comparative analysis of methods for calculating the temperature field in a heat-stressed element. We considered methods based on: 1) heat balance, 2) average heat transfer coefficient, 3) differential heat transfer coefficient, 4) direct calculation using the finite element method. We established that the first two methods do not provide an adequate distribution of the temperature field but can be useful for determining the principal possibility of a given cooling using thermoelectric elements. The last two methods allow us to correctly calculate the temperature field; but to use the third method, we need a differential heat transfer coefficient, which can be found from the calculation using the fourth method. We made a conclusion about the need for combined use of methods in a general case. The methods of thermal balance and average heat transfer coefficient allow us to determine the principal possibility of using thermoelectric cooling of a specific heat-stressed element. The actual parameters of the cooling system should be determined using a combination of the differential heat transfer coefficient and the finite element method. The first of them allows us to determine the heat-stressed areas and calculate the parameters of the cooling system that provide thermal discharge of these areas. The second method is used to perform numerical experiments to determine the heat transfer coefficient of a real structure

Pin Fins

Pin fins are normally used for cooling the trailing edge region of a turbine, where their aspect ratio (height H/diameter D) is characteristically low. In small turbine vanes and blades, however, pin fins may also be located in the middle region of the airfoil. In this case, the aspect ratio can be quite large, usually obtaining values greater than 4. Heat transfer tests, which are conducted under atmospheric conditions for the cooling design of turbine vanes and blades, may overestimate the heat transfer coefficient of the pin-finned flow channel for such long pin fins. The fin efficiency of a long pin fin is almost unity in a low heat transfer situation as it would be encountered under atmospheric conditions, but can be considerably lower under high heat transfer conditions and for pin fins made of low thermal conductivity material. A series of tests with corresponding heat transfer models has been conducted in order to clarify the heat transfer characteristics of the long pin-finned flow channel. It is assumed that heat transfer coefficients can be predicted by the linear combination of two heat transfer equations, which were separately developed for the pin fin surface and for tubes in crossflow. To confirm the suggested combined equations, experiments have been carried out, in which the aspect ratio and the thermal conductivity of the pin were the test parameters. To maintain a high heat transfer coefficient for a long pin fin under high-pressure conditions, the heat transfer was augmented by adding a turbulence promoter on the pin-finned endwall surface. A corresponding equation that describes this situation has been developed. The predicted and measured values showed good agreement. In this paper, a comprehensive study on the heat transfer of a long pin-fin array will be presented.

Measurements of the distribution of convective heat transfer over the five exposed faces of a low profile electronic package are described. The package, of square planform and length-to-height ratio, L/a = 6, is part of a regular array of such elements attached to one wall of a low aspect ratio channel. The coolant is air, and experiments are described for the Reynolds number range, 3000<Re<7000. The average heat transfer coefficient for the top face is found to be nearly equal to the overall average heat transfer coefficient for the element. The average heat transfer coefficient for the upstream face and two side faces are higher than the overall average by approximately 30–40 percent and 20–30 percent, respectively while that for the downstream face is 20–30 percent less than the overall average. Furthermore, the distribution in local heat transfer coefficient over the five surfaces of the element is approximately independent of variations in Reynolds number.

Non-intrusive measurements of the internal average heat transfer coefficient [1] in a randomly packed bed of spherical particles are made. It is desired to establish accurate results for this simple geometry so that the method used can then be extended to determine the heat transfer characteristics in any porous medium, such as a compact heat exchanger. Under steady, one-dimensional flow the spherical particles are subjected to a step change in volumetric heat generation rate via induction heating. The fluid temperature response is measured. The average heat transfer coefficient is determined by comparing the results of a numerical simulation based on volume averaging theory with the experimental results. More specifically, the average heat transfer coefficient is adjusted within the computational procedure until the predicted values of the fluid outlet temperature match the experimental values. The only information needed is the basic material properties, the flow rate, and the experimental data. The computational procedure alleviates the need for solid and fluid phase temperature measurements, which are difficult to make and can disturb the solid-fluid interaction. Moreover, a simple analysis allows us to proceed without knowledge of the heat generation rate, which is difficult to determine due to challenges associated with calibrating an inductively-coupled, sample specific, heat generation system. The average heat transfer coefficient was determined, and expressed in terms of the Nusselt number, over a Reynolds number range of 20–600. The results compared favorably to the work of Whitaker [2] and Kays and London [3]. The success of this method, in determining the average heat transfer coefficient in a randomly packed bed of spheres, suggests that it can be used to determine the average heat transfer coefficient in other porous media.

The necessity for an efficient thermal management system covering large areas is growing rapidly with the push toward more electric systems. A significant amount of research over the past 2 decades has conclusively proved the suitability of jet, droplet, or spray impingement for high heat flux cooling. However, all these research consider small heat source areas, typically about a few cm2. Can a large array of impingement pattern, covering a much wider area, achieve similar heat flux levels? This article presents liquid microjet array impingement cooling of a heat source that is about two orders of magnitude larger than studied in the previous works. Experiments are carried out with 441 jets of de-ionized water and a dielectric liquid HFE7200, each 200 μm diameter. The jets impinge on a 189 cm2 area surface, in free surface and confined jet configurations. The average heat transfer coefficient values of the present experiment are compared with correlations from the literature. While some correlations show excellent agreement, others deviate significantly. The ensuing discussion suggests that the post-impingement liquid dynamics, particularly the collision between the liquid fronts on the surface created from surrounding jets, is the most important criterion dictating the average heat transfer coefficient. Thus, similar thermal performance can be achieved, irrespective of the length scale, as long as the flow dynamics are similar. These results prove the scalability of the liquid microjet array impingement technique for cooling a few cm2 area to a few hundred cm2 area.
