Suction Flow

Heat transfer enhancement in permeable tubes subjected to transverse suction flow is investigated in this work. Both momentum and energy equations are solved analytically and numerically. Both solutions based on negligible entry regions are well matched. Two different suction velocity distributions are considered. A parametric study including the influence of the average suction velocity and the suction velocity profile is conducted for various Peclet numbers. It is found that enhancement of heat transfer over that in impermeable tubes is only possible with large Peclet numbers. This enhancement increases as suction velocities towards the tube outlet increase and as those towards the tube inlet decrease simultaneously. The identified enhancement mechanisms are expanding the entry regions, increasing the transverse advection, and increasing the downstream excess temperatures under same transverse advection. The average suction velocity that produces maximum enhancement increases as the Peclet number increases until it reaches asymptotically its uppermost value at large Peclet numbers. The maximum reported enhancement ratios for the exponential and linear suction velocity distributions are 17.62-fold and 14.67-fold above those for impermeable tubes, respectively. This work demonstrates that significant heat transfer enhancement is attainable when the suction flow inside the permeable tubes is distributed properly.

Abstract Using two-dimensional numerical simulations of the momentum, mass, and energy conservation equations, we investigate the enhancement of heat transfer in a rectangular micro-fluidic channel. The fluid inside the channel is assumed to be stationary initially and actuated by the motion imparted by mechanical stirrers, which are attached to the bottom of the channel. Based on the direction of the oscillation of the stirrers, the boundary conditions can be classified as either no-slip (when the oscillation is perpendicular to the length of the channel) or periodic (when the oscillation is along the length of the channel). The heat transfer enhancement due to the motion of the stirrers (with respect to the stationary stirrer situation) is analyzed in terms of the Reynolds number (ranging from 0.7 to 1000) and the Peclet number (ranging from 10 to 100). We find that the heat transfer first increases and then decreases with an increase in the Reynolds number for any given Peclet number. The heat transferred is maximum at a Reynolds number of 20 for the no-slip case and at a Reynolds number of 40 for the periodic case. For a given Peclet and Reynolds number, the heat flux for the periodic case is always larger than the no-slip case. We explain the reason for these trends using time-averaged flow velocity profiles induced by the oscillation of the mechanical stirrers.

Physical Features

Enhancement of heat transfer over a cylinder shaped thermal energy storage filled by paraffin E53 by use of radial rectangular copper fins was analyzed. The thermo-physical features of the storage material are determined in separate experiments and implemented to Fluent software over UDF. Advanced thermal storage geometry comprehension and optimization required introduction of a parameter suitable for the analysis of heat transfer enhancement, so the ratio of heat transfer surfaces as a factor was proposed and applied. It is revealed that increase of the ratio of heat transfer surfaces leads to the decrease of melting time and vice versa. Numerical analysis, employing the 3D model built in Ansys software, observed storage reservoir geometries with variable number of longitudinal radial fins. The adjusted set of boundary conditions was carried out and both written in C language and implemented over UDF in order to define variable heat flux along the height of the heater. The comparison of acquired numerical and experimental results showed a strong correlation. Experimental validation of numerical results was done on the real TES apparatus.

Heat Transfer enhancement needs buoyancy force. This is to be achieved by making perforations on fin surfaces. The present paper is a study on the enhancement of heat transfer in terms of density, velocity and temperature with three different perforation geometry (parallel square, inclined square and circular). CFD was used to carry out the study of density variation, velocity and temperature drop among different perforated fins. This type of perforated fin has an improvement in heat transfer rate over its dimensionally equivalent solid fin.
