Abstract Transient heat transfer studies of quenching rotary hollow cylinders with in-line and staggered multiple arrays of jets have been carried out experimentally. The study involves three hollow cylinders (Do/d = 12 to 24) with rotation speed 10 to 50 rpm, quenched by subcooled water jets (ΔTsub=50-80 K) with jet flow rate 2.7 to 10.9 L/min. The increase in area-averaged and maximum heat flux over quenching surface (Af) has been observed in the studied multiple arrays with constant Qtotal compared to previous studies. Investigation of radial temperature distribution at stagnation point of jet reveals that the footprint of configuration of 4-row array is highlighted in radial distances near the outer surface and vanishes further down toward the inner surface. The influence of the main quenching parameters on local average surface heat flux at stagnation point is addressed in all the boiling regimes where the result indicates jet flow rate provides strongest effect in all the boiling regimes. Effectiveness of magnitude of maximum heat flux in the boiling curve for the studied parameters is reported. The result of spatial and temporal heat flux by radial conduction in the solid presents projection depth of cyclic variation of surface heat flux in the radial axis as it disappears near inner surface of hollow cylinder. In addition, correlations are proposed for area-averaged Nusselt number as well as average and maximum local heat flux at stagnation point of jet for the in-line and staggered multiple arrays.

In this study, the distribution of surface heat transfer induced by dual side-jets injected into a hypersonic flow has been visualized using a temperature sensitive paint. The experiments were performed in both tandem and parallel injector arrangements, and the spacing between the injection holes was taken as a parameter in each arrangement. As a result, the aerodynamic heating in the separated region of the boundary layer and in the horseshoe vortex was clearly visualized. In the tandem arrangements, heat transfer remarkably increased immediately upstream of the front injector. The distributions and the intensity of surface heat transfer were similar to those caused by the single injection. On the other hand, in the parallel arrangements, the extent of the separation nearly doubled, and the maximum heat flux decreased to less than half of that from the single injection. The global distribution of heat transfer varied significantly as the injector spacing was changed. When the injectors were positioned with a large spacing, the interaction between the side-jets was relatively lowered, and thus distribution, as for the single injector, was induced around each injection hole individually. In contrast, with a short spacing, the dual injection behaved as a single obstacle. The most effective reduction of maximum heat flux was achieved with an intermediate injector spacing.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the flow impinging on a stagnation point of a shrinking cylinder subjected to prescribed surface heat flux in Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluid. Design/methodology/approach Using similarity variables, the similarity equations are obtained and then solved using bvp4c in MATLAB. The effects of several physical parameters on the skin friction and heat transfer rate, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles are analysed and discussed. Findings The outcomes show that dual solutions are possible for the shrinking case, in the range λc<λ<−1, where λc is the bifurcation point of the solutions. Meanwhile, the solution is unique for λ≥−1. Besides, the boundary layer is detached on the surface at λc, where the value of λc is affected by the hybrid nanoparticle φhnf and the curvature parameter γ. Moreover, the friction and the heat transfer on the surface increase with the rising values φhnf and γ. Finally, the temporal stability analysis shows that the first solution is stable in the long run, whereas the second solution is not. Originality/value The present work considers the problem of stagnation point flow impinging on a shrinking cylinder containing Al2O3-Cu/water hybrid nanofluid, with prescribed surface heat flux. This paper shows that two solutions are obtained for the shrinking case. Further analysis shows that only one of the solutions is stable as time evolves.

Impinging jet cooling technique has been widely used extensively in various industrial processes, namely, cooling and drying of films and papers, processing of metals and glasses, cooling of gas turbine blades and most recently cooling of various components of electronic devices. Due to high heat removal rate the jet impingement cooling of the hot surfaces is being used in nuclear industries. During the loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) in nuclear power plant, an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) cool the cluster of clad tubes using consisting of fuel rods. Controlled cooling, as an important procedure of thermal-mechanical control processing technology, is helpful to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel. In industries for heat transfer efficiency and homogeneous cooling performance which usually requires a jet impingement with improved heat transfer capacity and controllability. It provides better cooling in comparison to air. Rapid quenching by water jet, sometimes, may lead to formation of cracks and poor ductility to the quenched surface. Spray and mist jet impingement offers an alternative method to uncontrolled rapid cooling, particularly in steel and electronics industries. Mist jet impingement cooling of downward facing hot surface has not been extensively studied in the literature. The present experimental study analyzes the heat transfer characteristics a 0.15mm thick hot horizontal stainless steel (SS-304) foil using Internal mixing full cone (spray angle 20 deg) mist nozzle from the bottom side. Experiments have been performed for the varied range of water pressure (0.7–4.0 bar) and air pressure (0.4–5.8 bar). The effect of water and air inlet pressures, on the surface heat flux has been examined in this study. The maximum surface heat flux is achieved at stagnation point and is not affected by the change in nozzle to plate distance, Air and Water flow rates.

This study investigates the nanofluid flow towards a shrinking cylinder consisting of Al2O3 nanoparticles. Here, the flow is subjected to prescribed surface heat flux. The similarity variables are employed to gain the similarity equations. These equations are solved via the bvp4c solver. From the findings, a unique solution is found for the shrinking strength λ≥−1. Meanwhile, the dual solutions are observed when λc<λ<−1. Furthermore, the friction factor Rex1/2Cf and the heat transfer rate Rex−1/2Nux increase with the rise of Al2O3 nanoparticles φ and the curvature parameter γ. Quantitatively, the rates of heat transfer Rex−1/2Nux increase up to 3.87% when φ increases from 0 to 0.04, and 6.69% when γ increases from 0.05 to 0.2. Besides, the profiles of the temperature θ(η) and the velocity f’(η) on the first solution incline for larger γ, but their second solutions decline. Moreover, it is noticed that the streamlines are separated into two regions. Finally, it is found that the first solution is stable over time.

Abstract A new experimental technique has been developed that permits the determination of local surface heat transfer coefficients on surfaces without requirement for calibration of the temperature-sensing device. The technique uses the phase delay that develops between the surface temperature response and an imposed periodic surface heat flux. This phase delay is dependent upon the thermophysical properties of the model, the heat flux driving frequency and the local heat transfer coefficient. It is not a function of magnitude of the local heat flux. Since only phase differences are being measured there is no requirement to calibrate the temperature sensor, in this instance a thermochromic liquid crystal. Application of a periodic surface heat flux to a flat plate resulted in a surface colour response that was a function of time. This response was captured using a standard colour CCD camera and the phase delay angles were determined using Fourier analysis. Only the 8 bit G component of the captured RGB signal was required, there being no need to determine a Hue value. From these experimentally obtained phase delay angles it was possible to determine heat transfer coefficients that compared well with those predicted using a standard correlation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the steady mixed convection hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer past a vertical thin needle with prescribed surface heat flux. Design/methodology/approach The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations by using a similarity transformation. The transformed equations are then solved numerically using the boundary value problem solver (bvp4c) in Matlab software. The features of the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity and temperature profiles for different values of the governing parameters are analyzed and discussed. Findings It is found that dual solutions exist for a certain range of the mixed convection parameter where its critical values decrease with the increasing of the copper (Cu) nanoparticle volume fractions and for the smaller needle size. It is also observed that the increasing of the copper (Cu) nanoparticle volume fractions and the decreasing of the needle size tend to enhance the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number on the needle surface. A temporal stability analysis is performed to determine the stability of the dual solutions in the long run, and it is revealed that only one of them is stable, while the other is unstable. Originality/value The problem of hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer past a vertical thin needle with prescribed surface heat flux is the important originality of the present study where the dual solutions for the opposing flow are obtained.

Two-dimensional natural convective heat transfer from vertical plates has been extensively studied. However, when the width of the plate is relatively small compared to its height, the heat transfer rate can be greater than that predicted by these two-dimensional flow results. Because situations that can be approximately modelled as narrow vertical plates occur in a number of practical situations, there exists a need to be able to predict heat transfer rates from such narrow plates. Attention has here been given to a plate with a uniform surface heat flux. The magnitude of the edge effects will, in general, depend on the boundary conditions existing near the edge of the plate. To examine this effect, two situations have been considered. In one, the heated plate is imbedded in a large plane adiabatic surface, the surfaces of the heated plane and the adiabatic surface being in the same plane while in the second there are plane adiabatic surfaces above and below the heated plate but the edge of the plate is directly exposed to the surrounding fluid. The flow has been assumed to be steady and laminar and it has been assumed that the fluid properties are constant except for the density change with temperature which gives rise to the buoyancy forces, this having been treated by using the Boussinesq approach. It has also been assumed that the flow is symmetrical about the vertical centre-plane of the plate. The solution has been obtained by numerically solving the full three-dimensional form of the governing equations, these equations being written in terms of dimensionless variables. Results have only been obtained for a Prandtl number of 0.7. A wide range of the other governing parameters have been considered for both edge situations and the conditions under which three dimensional flow effects can be neglected have been deduced.

Abstract Full-scale annular experimental evaluation of two different high pressure turbine first stage vane cooling designs was carried out using high frequency surface heat-flux measurements in the Turbine Research Facility at the Air Force Research Laboratory. A baseline film cooling geometry was tested simultaneously with a genetically optimized vane aimed to improve efficiency and part life. Part 1 of this two-part paper describes the experimental instrumentation, test facility, and surface heat flux measurements used to evaluate both cooling schemes. Part 2 of this paper describes the result of companion conjugate heat transfer posttest predictions, and gives numerical background on the design and modelling of both film cooling geometries. Time-resolved surface heat flux data is captured at multiple airfoil span and chord locations for each cooling design. Area based assessment of surface flux data verifies the genetic optimization redistributes excessive cooling away from midspan areas to improve efficiency. Results further reveal key discrepancies between design intent and real hardware behavior. Elevated heat flux above intent in some areas led to investigation of backflow margin and unsteady hot gas ingestion at certain film holes. Analysis shows areas toward the vane inner and outer endwalls of the aft pressure side were more sensitive to reduced aft cavity backflow margin. In addition, temporal analysis shows film cooled heat flux having large high frequency fluctuations that can vary across nearly the full range of film cooling effectiveness at some locations. Velocity and acceleration of these large unsteady heat flux events moving near the endwall of the vane pressure side is reported for the first time. The temporal nature of the unsteady 3-D film cooling features are a large factor in determining average local heat flux levels. This study determined this effect to be particularly important in areas on real hardware along the HPT vane pressure side endwalls towards the trailing edge, where numerical assumptions are often challenged. Better understanding of the physics of the highly unsteady 3D film cooled flow features occurring in real hardware is necessary to accurately predict distress progression in localized areas, prevent unforeseen part failures, and enable improvements to turbine engine efficiency. The results of this two-part paper are relevant to engines in extended service today.
