Abstract Atrial fibrillation is a heart condition commonly treated by cardiac ablation procedures. Since the esophagus is positioned in close proximity to the heart, esophageal thermal damage can occur during ablation. In this study, we investigate the temperature rise on the inner esophagus surface using a 2D temperature sensor array. An experimental study was performed to measure temperature by the sensor array placed on inner porcine esophagus tissue as a constant temperature heat source is applied to the inner porcine atrial tissue. A numerical model was developed to complement the experimental study.

An experimental investigation has been performed to determine the constant surface temperature heat transfer behavior on the upper surface of a rectangular model with a chord length of 20.3 cm (8 in.) and an aspect ratio of 6/1. Data were obtained for angles of attack from 0 to 50 deg and freestream velocities of 9.1, 15.2, and 21.3 m/s (30, 50 and 70 ft/s). Separation existed on a portion of the upper surface for angles between 0 and 20 deg with the flow being turbulent after reattachment. Above 30 deg the flow was always laminar with the stagnation point on the upper surface. The heat transfer results in the laminar case were strongly influenced by freestream disturbances.

High temperature in grinding can cause thermal damage to the workpiece. In order to reduce the grinding zone temperature, a method about enhancing heat transfer based on the rotation heat pipe technology is proposed. In this paper, the heat transfer effect of heat pipe grinding wheel (HPGW) under different conditions such as the rotating speed of grinding wheel, the kinds of working fluid and the film thickness are analyzed. The results show that the HPGW has great superiority of heat transfer under certain conditions.

The current study experimentally investigates the heat transfer augmentation on the novel axial corrugated heat exchanger tube in which the spring tape is introduced. Air (Pr = 0.707) is used as a working fluid. In order to augment the thermohydraulic performance, a corrugated tube with inserts is offered. The experimental study is further extended by varying the important parameters like spring ratio (y = 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) and Reynolds number (Re = 10 000–52 000). The angular pitch between the two neighboring corrugations and the angle of the corrugation is kept constant through the experiments at β = 1200 and α = 600 respectively, while two different corrugations heights (h) are analyzed. While increasing the corrugation height and decreasing the spring ratio, the impact of the swirling effect improves the thermal performance of the system. The maximum thermal performance is obtained when the corrugation height is h = 0.2 and spring ratio y = 1.5. Eventually, correlations for predicting friction factor (f) and Nusselt number (Nu) are developed.
