На основе уравнений теплопереноса в движущейся среде и соотношений теплопередачи в термоэлектрическом охладителе приведен сравнительный анализ методик расчета поля температуры в теплонапряженном элементе. Рассмотрены методики на основе: 1) теплового баланса, 2) среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи, 3) дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи, 4) прямого расчета в рамках метода конечных элементов. Установлено, что первые две методики не дают адекватного распределения поля температур, но могут быть полезны для определения принципиальной возможности заданного охлаждения с использованием термоэлектрических элементов. Последние две методики позволяют корректно рассчитать температурное поле, но для использования третьей методики необходим дифференциальный коэффициент теплоотдачи, который может быть найден из расчета по четвертой методике. Сделан вывод о необходимости комбинированного использования методик в общем случае. Методы теплового баланса и среднего коэффициента теплоотдачи позволяют определить принципиальную возможность использования термоэлектрического охлаждения конкретного теплонапряженного элемента (ТЭ). Реальные параметры системы охлаждения должны определяться в рамках комбинации методов дифференциального коэффициента теплоотдачи и конечных элементов (МКЭ). Первый из них позволяет определить теплонапряженные области и рассчитать параметры системы охлаждения, которые обеспечивают тепловую разгрузку этих областей. Второй метод используется для проведения численных экспериментов по определению коэффициента теплоотдачи реальной конструкции The article presents on the basis of the equations of heat transfer in a moving medium and the relations of heat transfer in a thermoelectric cooler, a comparative analysis of methods for calculating the temperature field in a heat-stressed element. We considered methods based on: 1) heat balance, 2) average heat transfer coefficient, 3) differential heat transfer coefficient, 4) direct calculation using the finite element method. We established that the first two methods do not provide an adequate distribution of the temperature field but can be useful for determining the principal possibility of a given cooling using thermoelectric elements. The last two methods allow us to correctly calculate the temperature field; but to use the third method, we need a differential heat transfer coefficient, which can be found from the calculation using the fourth method. We made a conclusion about the need for combined use of methods in a general case. The methods of thermal balance and average heat transfer coefficient allow us to determine the principal possibility of using thermoelectric cooling of a specific heat-stressed element. The actual parameters of the cooling system should be determined using a combination of the differential heat transfer coefficient and the finite element method. The first of them allows us to determine the heat-stressed areas and calculate the parameters of the cooling system that provide thermal discharge of these areas. The second method is used to perform numerical experiments to determine the heat transfer coefficient of a real structure

Measurements of the distribution of convective heat transfer over the five exposed faces of a low profile electronic package are described. The package, of square planform and length-to-height ratio, L/a = 6, is part of a regular array of such elements attached to one wall of a low aspect ratio channel. The coolant is air, and experiments are described for the Reynolds number range, 3000<Re<7000. The average heat transfer coefficient for the top face is found to be nearly equal to the overall average heat transfer coefficient for the element. The average heat transfer coefficient for the upstream face and two side faces are higher than the overall average by approximately 30–40 percent and 20–30 percent, respectively while that for the downstream face is 20–30 percent less than the overall average. Furthermore, the distribution in local heat transfer coefficient over the five surfaces of the element is approximately independent of variations in Reynolds number.

Non-intrusive measurements of the internal average heat transfer coefficient [1] in a randomly packed bed of spherical particles are made. It is desired to establish accurate results for this simple geometry so that the method used can then be extended to determine the heat transfer characteristics in any porous medium, such as a compact heat exchanger. Under steady, one-dimensional flow the spherical particles are subjected to a step change in volumetric heat generation rate via induction heating. The fluid temperature response is measured. The average heat transfer coefficient is determined by comparing the results of a numerical simulation based on volume averaging theory with the experimental results. More specifically, the average heat transfer coefficient is adjusted within the computational procedure until the predicted values of the fluid outlet temperature match the experimental values. The only information needed is the basic material properties, the flow rate, and the experimental data. The computational procedure alleviates the need for solid and fluid phase temperature measurements, which are difficult to make and can disturb the solid-fluid interaction. Moreover, a simple analysis allows us to proceed without knowledge of the heat generation rate, which is difficult to determine due to challenges associated with calibrating an inductively-coupled, sample specific, heat generation system. The average heat transfer coefficient was determined, and expressed in terms of the Nusselt number, over a Reynolds number range of 20–600. The results compared favorably to the work of Whitaker [2] and Kays and London [3]. The success of this method, in determining the average heat transfer coefficient in a randomly packed bed of spheres, suggests that it can be used to determine the average heat transfer coefficient in other porous media.

The necessity for an efficient thermal management system covering large areas is growing rapidly with the push toward more electric systems. A significant amount of research over the past 2 decades has conclusively proved the suitability of jet, droplet, or spray impingement for high heat flux cooling. However, all these research consider small heat source areas, typically about a few cm2. Can a large array of impingement pattern, covering a much wider area, achieve similar heat flux levels? This article presents liquid microjet array impingement cooling of a heat source that is about two orders of magnitude larger than studied in the previous works. Experiments are carried out with 441 jets of de-ionized water and a dielectric liquid HFE7200, each 200 μm diameter. The jets impinge on a 189 cm2 area surface, in free surface and confined jet configurations. The average heat transfer coefficient values of the present experiment are compared with correlations from the literature. While some correlations show excellent agreement, others deviate significantly. The ensuing discussion suggests that the post-impingement liquid dynamics, particularly the collision between the liquid fronts on the surface created from surrounding jets, is the most important criterion dictating the average heat transfer coefficient. Thus, similar thermal performance can be achieved, irrespective of the length scale, as long as the flow dynamics are similar. These results prove the scalability of the liquid microjet array impingement technique for cooling a few cm2 area to a few hundred cm2 area.

We have been developing a free convection air cooled heat exchanger without power supply to improve economic efficiency and mechanical reliability. However, this heat exchanger requires a larger installation area than the forced draft type air cooled heat exchanger since a large heating surface is needed to compensate for the small heat transfer by natural convection. Therefore, we have been investigating a heat exchanger consisting of an array of finned tubes and chimney to increase the heat transfer coefficient. Since the heat transfer characteristics of finned tube arrays have not been clarified, we conducted experiments with a finned tube array to determine the relation between the configuration of finned tubes and the heat transfer coefficient of a tube array. The results showed that the average heat transfer coefficient increased with pitch in the vertical direction, and became constant when the pitch was over five times the fin diameter. The average heat transfer coefficient was about 1.4 times higher than that of a single finned tube in free space. The ratio of the average heat transfer coefficient of the finned tube array with chimney to that of a single finned tube was found to be independent of the difference in temperature between the tube surface and air.

The primary focus of this paper is the conjugate heat transfer during vertical impingement of a two-dimensional (slot) submerged confined liquid jet using liquid ammonia as the working fluid. Numerical model for the heat transfer process has been developed. The solid region has been modeled along with the fluid region as a conjugate problem. Discrete heat sources have been used to study the overall effect on convective heat transfer. Simulation of discrete heat sources was done by introducing localized heat fluxes at various locations and their magnitudes being varied. Simulations are performed for two different substrate materials namely silicon and stainless steel. The equations solved in the liquid region included the conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. In the solid region, only the energy equation, which reduced to the heat conduction equation, had to be solved. The solid-fluid interface temperature showed a strong dependence on several geometric, fluid flow, and heat transfer parameters. The Nusselt number increased with Reynolds number. For a given flow rate, a higher heat transfer coefficient was obtained with smaller slot width and lower impingement height. For a constant Reynolds number, jet impingement height and plate thickness, a wider opening of the slot provided higher average heat transfer coefficient and higher average Nusselt number. A higher average heat transfer coefficient was seen at a smaller thickness, whereas a thicker plate provided a more uniform distribution of heat transfer coefficient. Higher thermal conductivity substrates also provided a more uniform heat distribution.

Three staggered 90 deg rib geometries corresponding to blockage ratios of 0.133, 0.167, and 0.25 were tested for pitch-to-height ratios of 5, 8.5, and 10, and for two distinct thermal boundary conditions of heated and unheated channel walls. Comparisons were made between the surface-averaged heat transfer coefficients and friction factors for ribs with rounded corners and those with sharp corners, reported previously. Heat transfer coefficients of the furthest upstream rib and that of a typical rib located in the middle of the rib-roughened region of the passage wall were also compared. It was concluded that: (a) For the geometries tested, the rib average heat transfer coefficient was much higher than that for the area between the ribs. For the sharp-corner ribs, the rib average heat transfer coefficient increased with blockage ratio. However, when the corners were rounded, the trend depended on the level of roundness. (b) High-blockage-ratio (e/Dh = 0.25) ribs were insensitive to the pitch-to-height ratio. For the other two blockage ratios, the pitch-to-height ratio of 5 produced the lowest heat transfer coefficient. Results of the other two pitch-to-height ratios were very close, with the results of S/e = 10 slightly higher than those of S/e = 8.5. (c) Under otherwise identical conditions, ribs in the furthest upstream position produced lower heat transfer coefficients for all cases except that of the smallest blockage ratio with S/e of 5. In that position, for the rib geometries tested, while the sharp-corner rib average heat transfer coefficients increased with the blockage ratio, the trend of the round-corner ribs depended on the level of roundness, r/e. (d) Thermal performance decreased with the blockage ratio. While the smallest rib geometry at a pitch-to-height ratio of 10 had the highest thermal performance, thermal performance of high blockage ribs at a pitch-to-height ratio of 5 was the lowest. (e) The general effects of rounding were a decrease in heat transfer coefficient for the midstream ribs and an increase in heat transfer coefficient for ribs in the furthest upstream position.

A numerical study has been conducted to explore the effect of a pressure-side winglet on the flow and heat transfer over a blade tip. Calculations are performed for both a flat tip and a squealer tip. The winglet is in the form of a flat extension, and is shaped in the axial chord direction to have the maximum thickness at the chord location where the pressure difference is the largest between the pressure and suction sides. For the flat tip, the pressure side winglet exhibits a significant reduction in the leakage flow strength and an associated reduction in the aerodynamic loss. The low heat transfer coefficient “sweet-spot” region is larger with the pressure-side winglet, and lower heat transfer coefficients are also observed along the pressure side of the blade. The winglet reduces the average heat transfer coefficient by about 7%. In the presence of a squealer, the role of the winglet decreases significantly, and only a 0.5% reduction in the pressure ratio is achieved with the winglet with virtually no reduction in the average heat transfer coefficient.
