An experimental study of heat transfer into a thin film of liquid water on a rotating disk is described. The film was introduced from a flow collar at the center of a heated, horizontal disk at a fixed initial film thickness with a uniform radial velocity. Radial distribution of the disk surface temperatures was measured using a thermocouple / slip ring arrangement. Experiments were performed for a range of liquid flow rates between 3.0 lpm and 15.0 lpm corresponding to Reynolds numbers (based on the liquid inlet gap height and velocity) between 238 and 1188. The angular speed of the disk was varied from 0 rpm to 500 rpm. The local heat transfer coefficient was determined based on the heat flux supplied to the disk and the temperature difference between the measured disk surface temperature and the entrance temperature of the liquid onto the disk. The local heat transfer coefficient was seen to increase with increasing flow rate as well as increasing angular velocity of the disk. Effect of rotation on heat transfer was largest for the lower liquid flow rates with the effect gradually decreasing with increasing liquid flow rates. Semi-empirical correlations are presented in this study for the local and average Nusselt numbers. In addition to the heat transfer characterization, the thickness of the liquid film on the disk surface was measured by an optical method, including the characteristics of the hydraulic jump and the subcritical and supercritical flow regions.

An experimental study of heat transfer into a thin liquid film on a rotating heated disk is described. Deionized water was introduced at the center of a heated, horizontal disk with a constant film thickness and uniform radial velocity. Radial distribution of the disk surface temperatures was measured using a thermocouple/slip ring arrangement. Experiments were performed for a range of liquid flow rates between 3.0 lpm and 15.0 lpm. The angular speed of the disk was varied from 0 rpm to 500 rpm. The local heat transfer coefficient was determined based on the heat flux supplied to the disk and the temperature difference between the measured disk surface temperature and the liquid entrance temperature onto the disk. The local heat transfer coefficient was seen to increase with increasing flow rate as well as increasing angular velocity of the disk.

Radial Profiles

Wind tunnel experiments were performed to determine both the average heat transfer coefficient and the radial distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient for a circular disk facing a uniform oncoming flow. The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers Re from 5000 to 50,000 and were performed using the naphthalene sublimation technique. To complement the experiments, an analysis incorporating both potential flow theory and boundary layer theory was used to predict the stagnation point heat transfer. The measured average Nusselt numbers definitively resolved a deep disparity between information from the literature and yielded the correlation Nu = 1.05 Pr0.36 Re1/2. The radial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were found to be congruent when they were normalized by Re1/2. Furthermore, the radial profiles showed that the local coefficient takes on its minimum value at the stagnation point and increases with increasing radial distance from the center of the disk. At the outer edge of the disk, the coefficient is more than twice as large as that at the stagnation point. The theoretical predictions of the stagnation point heat transfer exceeded the experimental values by about 6 percent. This overprediction is similar to that which occurs for cylinders and spheres in crossflow.

Turbulent Separated Flow

Experiments on a system in which separation of a turbulent boundary layer occurred at a downward step in the surface of a plate and reattached on the plate downstream of the step have produced additional results for the local heat-transfer coefficient and for the velocity and temperature distribution in the separated and reattached regions of the flow. In neither region was there found the kind of similarity near the wall that characterizes flows that are dominated by the friction at the wall, so that even this first element of the usual rationalization of the heat transfer is unavailable for the interpretation of the results. The effect of suction or injection through a slot at the base of the step is also indicated and this demonstrates relatively small effects on both the pressure distribution and the local heat-transfer coefficient.

Full Coverage

The local heat transfer coefficient of full-coverage film-cooled wall has been measured by using the law of analogy to mass transfer. For this experiment, the technique of sublimation of naphthalene was used. The geometric shape of FCFC plate and the experimental condition were the same as those in Part 1. From these experiments, the effects of the mass flux ratio and non-dimensional injection wall temperature ratio on the local Stanton number are made clear and it is confirmed experimentally that the local Stanton number is a linear function of non-dimensional temperature ratio as expected from the analysis. Furthermore, the local heat transfer coefficient on the backside surface has been obtained and a technique for the improvement of cooling effectiveness is discussed.
