The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Abstract The heat transfer coefficient of cylindrical holes fed by varying internal cross-flow channels with different cross-flow Reynolds numbers Rec is experimentally studied on a low-speed flat-plate facility. Three coolant cross flow cases, including a smooth case and two ribbed cases with 45/135-deg ribs, are studied at Rec = 50,000, and 100,000 with varying blowing ratios M of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0. A transient liquid-crystal (LC) measurement technique is used to determine the heat transfer coefficient. At lower M, the heat transfer enhancement regions are asymmetrical for the smooth and 45-deg cases. The asymmetrical vortex is more pronounced with increasing cross-flow direction velocity, resulting in a more skewed distribution at Rec = 100,000. Conversely, the contours are laterally symmetric in the 135-deg case at varying Rec. A fork-shaped trend with a relatively high heat transfer coefficient appears upstream, and the increases in the heat transfer in the 135-deg cases are lower than those in the 45-deg cases. As M increases to 2.0, the vortex intensity increases, resulting in a stronger scouring effect upstream, especially at large Rec. The range and degree are affected by Rec at M = 2.0. The core of the heat transfer enhancement is skewed to the −Y side for both cases.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The effect of structured roughness on the heat transfer of water flowing through minichannels was experimentally investigated in this study. The test channels were formed by two 12.7 mm wide × 94.6 mm long stainless steel strips. Eight structured roughness elements were generated using a wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) process as lateral grooves of sinusoidal profile on the channel walls. The height of the roughness structures ranged from 18 μm to 96 μm, and the pitch was varied from 250 μm to 400 μm. The hydraulic diameter of the rectangular flow channels ranged from 0.71 mm to 1.87 mm, while the constricted hydraulic diameter (obtained by using the narrowest flow gap) ranged from 0.68 mm to 1.76 mm. After accounting for heat losses from the edges and end sections, the heat transfer coefficient for smooth channels was found to be in good agreement with the conventional correlations in the laminar entry region as well as in the laminar fully developed region. All roughness elements were found to enhance the heat transfer. In the ranges of parameters tested, the roughness element pitch was found to have almost no effect, while the heat transfer coefficient was significantly enhanced by increasing the roughness element height. An earlier transition from laminar to turbulent flow was observed with increasing relative roughness (ratio of roughness height to hydraulic diameter). For the roughness element designated as B-1 with a pitch of 250 μm, roughness height of 96 μm and a constricted hydraulic diameter of 690 μm, a maximum heat transfer enhancement of 377% was obtained, while the corresponding friction factor increase was 371% in the laminar fully developed region. Comparing different enhancement techniques reported in the literature, the highest roughness element tested in the present work resulted in the highest thermal performance factor, defined as the ratio of heat transfer enhancement factor (over smooth channels) and the corresponding friction enhancement factor to the power 1/3.

Experimental and CFD studies were performed to investigate the enhancement of convective heat transfer in a laminar cooling system using flow pulsation in a flat channel with series of regular spaced fins. Glycerol-water mixtures with dynamic viscosities in the range of 0.001 kg/ms–0.01 kg/ms were used. A steady flow Reynolds number in the laminar range of 10 < Re < 1200 was studied. The amplitudes of the applied pulsations are in the range of 0.25 < A < 0.55 mm and the frequency range is 10 < f < 60 Hz. Two different cooling devices with active length L = 450 mm and 900 mm were investigated. CFD simulations were performed on a parallel-computer (Linux-cluster) using the software suit CFX11 from ANSYS GmbH, Germany. The rate of cooling was found to be significant at moderate low net flow rates. In general, no significant heat transfer enhancement at very low and high flow rates was obtained in compliance with the experimental data. The heat transfer coefficient was found to increase with increasing Prandtl number Pr at constant oscillation Reynolds number Reosc whereas the ratio of the hydraulic diameter to the length of the channel dh/L has insignificant effect on the heat transfer coefficient. This is due to enhanced fluid mixing. CFD results allow for performance predictions of different geometries and flow conditions.

Detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions have been obtained for narrow diverging channels with and without enhancement features. The cooling configurations considered include rib turbulators and concavities (or dimples) on the main heat transfer surfaces. All of the measurements are presented at a representative Reynolds number of 28,000. Pressure drop measurements for the overall channel are also presented to evaluate the heat transfer enhancement geometry with respect to the pumping power requirements. The test models were studied for wall heat transfer coefficient measurements using the transient liquid crystal technique. The model wall inner surfaces were sprayed with thermochromic liquid crystals and a transient test was used to obtain the local heat transfer coefficients from the measured color change. An analysis of the results shows that the choice of designs is limited by the available pressure drop, even if the design provides significantly higher heat transfer coefficients. Dimpled surfaces provide appreciably high heat transfer coefficients and a reasonable pressure drop, whereas ribbed ducts provide significantly higher heat transfer coefficients and a higher overall pressure drop.

Proper and efficient cooling of the turbine airfoil leading edge is imperative in increasing the airfoil life and overall efficiency of the gas turbine. To enhance the heat transfer coefficient in the leading-edge cavities, they are often roughened on three walls with ribs of different geometries. The cooling flow for these geometries usually enters the cavity from the airfoil root and flows radially to the airfoil tip or, in the most recent designs, enters the leading edge cavity from the adjacent cavity through a series of crossover holes on the partition wall between the two cavities. In the latter case, the cross-over jets impinge on a smooth leading-edge wall and exit through the showerhead film holes, “gill” film holes on the pressure and suction sides, and, in some cases, forms a cross-flow in the leading-edge cavity and is ejected through the airfoil tip hole. In this investigation, the impingement heat transfer coefficient was measured on both smooth and roughened leading-edge walls. Most reported studies cover the impingement on a flat smooth surface with round jets. This investigation dealt with two new features in airfoil leading-edge cooling concept: a curved and roughened target surface as well as impingement with racetrack shaped holes. Results of circular crossover jets impinging on the same surface geometries were reported by these authors previously. Experimental heat transfer results are presented for the impingement of racetrack shaped cross-over jets, with major hole (jet) axes at 0° and 45° angles to the cooling cavity’s radial axis, on 1) a smooth curved leading-edge wall, 2) a wall roughened with conical bumps, and 3) a wall roughened with tapered radial ribs. The tests were run for a range of inlet and exit flow arrangements and jet Reynolds numbers and the results were compared with those of round cross-over jets. The major conclusions of this study are: a) racetrack crossover holes are much more efficient than circular holes in cooling of the leading-edge surface, b) the overall heat transfer performance of 0° racetrack cross-over holes is superior to that of 45° racetrack cross-over holes, c) there is a heat transfer enhancement of up to 70% for roughening the target surface, and d) the driving factor in heat transfer enhancement is the increase in surface area.

More performance or reduced the size of heat exchanger can be achieved by heat transfer enhancement technique. Tube helical ribs have been used as one of the passive heat transfer enhancement technique and are most widely used tube in a several heat transfer process. The results of the heat transfer characteristics in horizontal double pipe with helical ribs are presented. Six test section with different characteristics parameters of helical rib depth 1.0mm, 1.25mm, 1.5mm and helical rib pitch 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, are tested. Cold water and hot water are used as the working fluids in the shell side and tube side respectively. Experiments are performed under the condition of mass flow rate varying from 0.030 to 0.130kg/s for cold water and 0.040 to 0.140kg/s for hot water respectively. The inlet cold and hot water temperature are between 28- 300C and between 68-710C respectively. The results obtained from the tubes with helical ribs are compared with those without helical ribs. It is found that the helical ribs have a significant effect on the heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer increases with the helical rib pitches and depth. Based on fitting the experimental data, on- isothermal correlations of the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor are proposed.

Customization of thermophysical properties of the working fluids has tremendous potential in heat transfer enhancement. In the present paper, experimentation is conducted to determine the heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of 20:80 Ethylene Glycol-Water(20:80 EG-Water) based Fe3O4 nanofluid in a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger with U Bend (DPHE). Experiments are performed in the turbulent flow regime at an operating temperature of 47.5°C. Fe3O4 nanoparticles of size less than 50 nm are mixed with 20:80 EG-Water solution in the volume concentration range of 0.02% to 0.08%. Results indicate that as the concentration of nanoparticles increase, the heat transfer coefficient of the nanofluid increases up to 0.04% concentration and then decreases, while the friction factor is observed to increase with the increase of volume concentration. Within the Reynolds number range considered in the analysis, the average enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient is 24.1% at 0.04% concentration compared to that of the base fluid. The average enhancement in the friction factor is observed to be 25.58% at 0.08% concentration of Fe3O4 / 20:80 EG-Water nanofluid compared to that of base fluid.

This paper presents a numerical investigation of heat transfer augmentation using internal longitudinal ribs and ?-Al2O3/ water nanofluid in a stationary curved square duct. The flow is assumed 3D, steady, laminar, and incompressible with constant properties. Computations have been done by solving Navier-Stokes and energy equations utilizing finite volume method. Water has been selected as the base fluid and thermo- physical properties of ?- Al2o3/ water nanofluid have been calculated using available correlations in the literature. The effects of Dean number, rib size and particle volume fraction on the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop have been examined. Results show that nanoparticles can increase the heat transfer coefficient considerably. For any fixed Dean number, relative heat transfer rate (The ratio of the heat transfer coefficient in case the of ?- Al2o3/ water nanofluid to the base fluid) increases as the particle volume fraction increases; however, the addition of nanoparticle to the base fluid is more useful for low Dean numbers. In the case of water flow, results indicate that the ratio of heat transfer rate of ribbed duct to smooth duct is nearly independent of Dean number. Noticeable heat transfer enhancement, compared to water flow in smooth duct, can be achieved when ?-Al2O3/ water nanofluid is used as the working fluid in ribbed duct.

This paper presents the heat transfer and fluid dynamics analysis of a horizontal channel formed by parallel plates with periodic insertions of heated blocks, having curved deflectors to direct the flow. The heat transfer coefficient investigated is compared with that of the horizontal channel without deflectors. The aim of the deflectors is to lead the fluid to the space between the heated blocks increasing the dynamics in this area. This zone will normally, without deflectors, become a stagnant fluid zone in which low energy transfer rate occurs. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient is larger as compared to that of the case without deflectors. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient is due primarily to the fluid motion stirred in the area between the heated block due to the deflectors. However, it must be pointed out. This implementation also increases the pressure drop in the channel.
