It was shown in one of our recent works [1] that, the apparently disconnected items like solid-gas flow phenomenon, duct wear and particle degradation are in fact beautifully connected involving all the three components of transfer processes — heat transfer, mass transfer and momentum transfer. This paper which basically is an extension of our work on Fluid Energy Mill [2] aims at predicting duct wear while transporting solids-gas mixture in pneumatic conveyor even in most difficult situations like flow through bends under interference situation. The paper elaborates the methodology used for wear prediction and highlights the effect of several parameters like material flow rate etc. on the nature and extent of the duct wear.

Cooling Ducts

Cyclone cooling is a promising method to enhance heat-transfer processes in future internal turbine-blade leading-edge cooling-ducts. The basic component of such cooling channels is the swirl generator, which induces a swirling movement of the coolant. The angular momentum generates stable, complex and three-dimensional flow structures of helical shape with alternating axial flow directions. Full three-dimensional and three-component velocity measurements using magnetic resonance velocimetry (3D3C-MRV) were conducted, with the aim to understand the complex structure of pipe flows with strong swirl. In order to mimic the effect of different installation concepts of the cyclone-cooling ducts an idealized bend-duct swirl-tube configuration with variable exit orifices has been investigated. Pronounced helical flow structures and distinct velocity zones could be found in this swirl flow. One substantial result is the identification of stationary helix-shaped streaks of high axial velocity in the direct vicinity of the wall. These findings are in good agreement with mass-transfer measurements that also show helix-shaped structures with increased mass transfer at the inner surface of the tube. According to the Reynolds analogy between heat and mass transfer, augmented heat-transfer processes in these areas are to be expected.

A survey of researchers and of manufacturers of spraying, drying, and spray heat transfer equipment was conducted. Those that responded provided descriptions of processes and devices that need developmental attention. Several of these problems are described here (eg, a unifying theory of how atomization takes place; a method of evaluating the performance of a spray used to dissolve air in water to enhance mass transfer processes; a comprehensive model for predicting heat transfer from high pressure sprays; etc). It is concluded that many research topics can be gleaned from industry as needs develop and innovative ways are found for sprays to replace conventional methods.

The presence of current flow in an electric and magnetic field results in electromagnetic force and joule heating. It is desirable to understand the roles of electromagnetic force and joule heating on gas microflow and heat transfer. In this study, a mathematical model is developed of the pressure-driven gas flow through a long isothermally heated horizontal planar microchannel in the presence of an external electric and magnetic field. The solutions for flow and thermal field and characteristics are derived analytically and presented in terms of dimensionless parameters. It is found that an electromagnetic driving force can be produced by a combined non-zero electric field and a negative magnetic field and results in an additional velocity slip and an additional flow drag. Also, a joule heating can be enhanced by an applied positive magnetic field and therefore results in an additional temperature jump and an additional heat transfer.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The paper reviews the present understanding of the analysis of the heat and mass transfer processes in single-slope solar stills. By using the results of published experiments, it is proposed that the heat and mass transfer phenomena from the basin water to the glass cover are coupled. This coupling makes it possible to derive the dependence of the heat transfer coefficient for condensation on the inclination of the glass cover of the still. The derived relation, i.e., Nucon = 0.738 (Grcon*Prcon*sin β/Ja*)¼ A−1 where A is the aspect ratio, has been demonstrated to be an important expression for predicting the heat transfer coefficient for condensation hcon necessary for a more realistic evaluation of the overall efficiency of single-slope solar still of a given cover angle β.
