Abstract In the supercritical water (SCW)-particle two-phase flow of fluidized bed, the particles that make up the particle cluster interact with each other through fluid, and it will affect the flow and heat transfer. However, due to the complex properties of SCW, the research on particle cluster is lacking, especially in terms of heat transfer. This research takes two particles as an example to study the heat transfer characteristics between SCW and another particle when one particle exists. This research uses the distance and angle between the two particles as the influencing factors to study the average heat transfer rate and local heat transfer rate. In this research, it is found that the effect is obvious when L/D = 1.1. When L = 1.1D, the temperature field and the flow field will partially overlap. The overlap of the temperature field will weaken the heat transfer between SCW and the particle. The overlap of the flow field has an enhanced effect on the heat transfer between SCW and the particle. The heat transfer between SCW and particles is simultaneously affected by these two effects, especially local heat transfer rate. In addition, this research also found that as the SCW temperature decreases, the thermal conductivity and specific heat of SCW increases, which enhances the heat transfer between SCW and the particles. This research is of great significance for studying the heat transfer characteristics of SCW-particle two-phase flow in fluidized bed.

Straight Flow

Heat transfer characteristics of a three-pass serpentine flow passage with rotation are experimentally studied. The walls of the square flow passage are plated with thin stainless-steel foils through which electrical current is applied to generate heat. The local heat transfer performance on the four side walls of the three straight flow passages and two turning elbows are determined for both stationary and rotating cases. The throughflow Reynolds, Rayleigh (centrifugal type), and rotation numbers are varied. It is revealed that three-dimensional flow structures cause the heat transfer rate at the bends to be substantially higher than at the straight flow passages. This mechanism is revealed by means of a flow visualization experiment for a nonrotating case. Along the first straight flow passage, the heat transfer rate is increased on the trailing surface but is reduced on the leading surface, due to the action of secondary streams induced by the Coriolis force. At low Reynolds numbers, the local heat transfer performance is primarily a function of buoyancy force. In the higher Reynolds number range, however, the circumferentially averaged Nusselt number is only a weak function of the Rayleigh and rotation numbers.

Louvered Fin

This paper presents the effect of the changes in fin geometry on pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of louvered fin heat exchanger numerically. Three dimensional simulation using ANSYS Fluent have been conducted for six different configurations at Reynolds number ranging from 200 to 1000 based on louver pitch. The performance of this system has been evaluated by calculating pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient. The result shows that, the fin pitch and the louver pitch have a very considerable effect on pressure drop as well as heat transfer rate. It is observed that increasing the fin pitch will relatively result in an increase in heat transfer rate but at the same time, the pressure drop will decrease. On the other hand, low pressure drop and low heat transfer rate will be obtained when the louver pitch is increased. Final result shows a good agreement between experimental and numerical results of the louvered fin which is about 12%. This indicates the capability of louvered fin in enhancing the performance of heat exchangers.

Transfer Characteristics

When heat is released by forced convection from electronic modules in a narrow printed circuit board channel, complex flow phenomena—such as stagnation and acceleration on the front surface, separation and reattachment on the top surface, wake or cavity flow near the rear surface—affect the heat transfer characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate how these flow conditions influence the local heat transfer from electronic modules. Experiments are performed on a three-dimensional array of hexahedral elements as well as on a two-dimensional array of rectangular elements. Naphthalene sublimation technique is employed to measure three-dimensional local mass transfer, and the mass transfer data are converted to their counterparts of the heat transfer process using the analogy equation between heat and mass transfer. Module location and streamwise module spacing are varied, and the effect of vortex generators on heat transfer enhancement is also examined. Dramatic change of local heat transfer coefficients is found on each surface of the module, and three-dimensional modules have a little higher heat transfer value than two-dimensional modules because of bypass flow. Longitudinal vortices formed by vortex generator enhance the mixing of fluids and thereby heat transfer, and the rectangular wing type vortex generator is found to be more effective than the delta wing type vortex generator.
