A general correlation is presented for predicting maximum heat transfer coefficient for surfaces submerged in gas-fluidized beds. It has been verified with data for horizontal and vertical cylinders and spheres in beds of a wide variety of particles and gases. The gases include air, cryogens, methane, CO2, ammonia, and R-12. The range of parameters includes: heat transfer surface diameter 0.05 to 220 mm, particle diameter 31 to 15000 μm, pressure 0.026 to 0.95 MPa, and temperature 13 to 1028 °C. The 363 data points from 53 sources are predicted with a mean absolute deviation of 16.2 %. Several other correlations were also compared to the same data but had much larger deviations.

Maximum Heat Transfer

Heat transfer to objects immersed in a fluidized bed has been studied extensively across a relatively large range of geometries, though most work has looked at cylinders, a geometry important in power generation fluidized bed applications. As the power generation industry has been the primary stimulant to fluidized bed heat transfer research, very little information is available regarding geometries significant in heat treating applications. In this work, heat transfer to thin flat strips immersed in a fluidized bed is examined. This geometry is important in the steel strap manufacturing industry where many manufacturers use environmentally damaging molten lead baths to heat-treat their product. In order to determine the feasibility of a fluidized bed heat treating system as an alternative to the more hazardous lead-based process, an experimental investigation has been conducted in which Nusselt number data for flat strips with widths in the range of 6.35–25.4 mm are obtained using a laboratory-scale fluidized bed (310 mm diameter). Aluminum oxide sand particles in the range of dp=145–330 μm (50–90 grit) are used as the fluidized media within the fluidized operating range from 0.15Gmf to approximately 10Gmf. The strip orientation angle θo was also varied to establish the position from which maximum heat transfer is obtained. It was found that a decrease in particle diameter, an increase in fluidizing rate, and an increase in sample diameter resulted in an increase in Nusselt number. It was also observed that for the smaller samples tested, a maximum Nusselt number plateau was reached, at approximately G/Gmf=2.5. Finally, it was shown that an increase in θo (from 0 deg to 90 deg) resulted in an increase in Nusselt number. A correlation for the maximum Nusselt number was developed, providing excellent agreement within ±15%.

This paper proposes a methodology aiming at determining the most influent working variables and geometrical parameters over the pressure drop and heat transfer during the condensation process of several refrigerant gases using heat exchangers with pipes mini channels technology. A multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology was used; this MCDM includes a mathematical method called SIMUS (Sequential Interactive Modelling for Urban Systems) that was applied to the results of 2543 tests obtained by using a designed refrigeration rig in which five different refrigerants (R32, R134a, R290, R410A and R1234yf) and two different tube geometries were tested. This methodology allows us to reduce the computational cost compared to the use of neural networks or other model development systems. This research shows six variables out of 39 that better define simultaneously the minimum pressure drop, as well as the maximum heat transfer, saturation pressure fluid entering the condenser being the most important one. Another aim of this research was to highlight a new methodology based on operation research for their application to improve the heat transfer energy efficiency and reduce the CO2 footprint derived of the use of heat exchangers with minichannels.

In this modern era, nanofluids are considered one of the advanced kinds of heat transferring fluids due to their enhanced thermal features. The present study is conducted to investigate that how the suspension of molybdenum-disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles boosts the thermal performance of a Casson-type fluid. Sodium alginate (NaAlg) based nanofluid is contained inside a vertical channel of width d and it exhibits a flow due to the movement of the left wall. The walls are nested in a permeable medium, and a uniform magnetic field and radiation flux are also involved in determining flow patterns and thermal behavior of the nanofluid. Depending on velocity boundary conditions, the flow phenomenon is examined for three different situations. To evaluate the influence of shape factor, MoS2 nanoparticles of blade, cylinder, platelet, and brick shapes are considered. The mathematical modeling is performed in the form of non-integer order operators, and a double fractional analysis is carried out by separately solving Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu operators based fractional models. The system of coupled PDEs is converted to ODEs by operating the Laplace transformation, and Zakian’s algorithm is applied to approximate the Laplace inversion numerically. The solutions of flow and energy equations are presented in terms of graphical illustrations and tables to discuss important physical aspects of the observed problem. Moreover, a detailed inspection on shear stress and Nusselt number is carried out to get a deep insight into skin friction and heat transfer mechanisms. It is analyzed that the suspension of MoS2 nanoparticles leads to ameliorating the heat transfer rate up to 9.5%. To serve the purpose of achieving maximum heat transfer rate and reduced skin friction, the Atangana-Baleanu operator based fractional model is more effective. Furthermore, it is perceived that velocity and energy functions of the nanofluid exhibit significant variations because of the different shapes of nanoparticles.

AbstractIn recent years, PCR-based methods as a rapid and high accurate technique in the industry and medical fields have been expanded rapidly. Where we are faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessity of a rapid diagnosis has felt more than ever. In the current interdisciplinary study, we have proposed, developed, and characterized a state-of-the-art liquid cooling design to accelerate the PCR procedure. A numerical simulation approach is utilized to evaluate 15 different cross-sections of the microchannel heat sink and select the best shape to achieve this goal. Also, crucial heat sink parameters are characterized, e.g., heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, performance evaluation criteria, and fluid flow. The achieved result showed that the circular cross-section is the most efficient shape for the microchannel heat sink, which has a maximum heat transfer enhancement of 25% compared to the square shape at the Reynolds number of 1150. In the next phase of the study, the circular cross-section microchannel is located below the PCR device to evaluate the cooling rate of the PCR. Also, the results demonstrate that it takes 16.5 s to cool saliva samples in the PCR well, which saves up to 157.5 s for the whole amplification procedure compared to the conventional air fans. Another advantage of using the microchannel heat sink is that it takes up a little space compared to other common cooling methods.
