Surface Decomposition

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been conducting research and development on the thermo-chemical iodine–sulfur (IS) process, which is one of the most attractive water-splitting hydrogen production methods using the nuclear heat of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). In researching this IS process, a silicon carbide (SiC) heat exchanger with good corrosion resistance was used in a corrosive situation in boiling sulfuric acid. With the aim of enhancing heat transfer in the SiC heat exchanger, a nanostructured surface made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was produced on a SiC substrate by surface decomposition. Two types of SiC, one produced by pressureless sintering (PLS-SiC) and one by chemical vapor deposition (CVD-SiC), were used as substrates. CNTs formed by the surface decomposition of SiC can vary depending on the crystal structure of the substrates. Additionally, in order to investigate surface wettability, nanostructured surfaces on the CVD-SiC with hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity were produced. The effects of heat transfer enhancement by the nanostructured surfaces were evaluated by a convective heat transfer test using de-ionized water. The nanostructured surface on the CVD-SiC with hydrophilicity was the only surface that showed any heat transfer enhancement. However, this enhancement was much smaller than those previously reported. The experiment showed that the small size of the nanopores influenced the heat transfer enhancement and that the wettability of the nanostructured surface was related to heat transfer enhancement.

sewage heat exchanger is important to collect heat energy in sewage source heat pump system. Heat transfer enhancement effect is not obvious while the chemical methods and manual cleaning is applying to remove the heat exchangers fouling in the long-term operation. Here sets an ultrasonic incrustation removal physical model in heat exchanger structure to antiscaling and descaling simultaneously. The acoustic cavitation technology can be used in sewage source heat pump systems for the experimental results and decontamination rate reaches 50%.

The heat transfer enhancement is recycled in many engineering uses such as heat exchangers, refrigeration and air conditioning structures, chemical apparatuses, and automobile radiators. Hence many enhancing extended fin patterns are developed and used. In multi louvered fin, in this segment for multi-row fin and tube heat exchanger, an increase in heat transfer enhancement is found 58% for ReH = 350. When the Reynolds number is 1075, the temperature gradient is more distinct for greater louver angle that is the higher heat transfer enhanced for large louver angle. For variable louver angle heat exchanger, the maximum heat transfer improvement achieved by 118% Reynolds number at 1075. In the vortex generator for the delta winglet vortex generator, the extreme enhancement of heat transfer increased to 16% compared to the baseline geometry (at ReDh = 600). For a compact louvered heat exchanger, the results showed that a regular arrangement of louvered fins gives a 9.3% heat transfer improvement. In multi-region louver fins and flat tubes heat exchanger, the louver fin with 4 regions and the louver fin with 6 regions are far better than the conventional fin in overall performance. At the same time, the louver fin with 6 regions is also better than the louver fin with 4-region. The available work is in experimental form as well as numerical form performed by computational fluid dynamics.

Enhancing spray cooling with surface structures is a common, effective approach for high heat flux thermal management to guarantee the reliability of many high-power, high-speed electronics and to improve the efficiency of new energy systems. However, the fundamental heat transfer enhancement mechanisms are not well understood especially for nanostructures. Here, we fabricated six groups of nanowire arrayed surfaces with various structures and sizes that show for the first time how these nanostructures enhance the spray cooling by improving the surface wettability and the liquid transport to quickly rewet the surface and avoid dry out. These insights into the nanostructure spray cooling heat transfer enhancement mechanisms are combined with microstructure heat transfer mechanism in integrated microstructure and nanostructure hybrid surface that further enhances the spray cooling heat transfer.
