Concentrating solar power (CSP) technology is moving toward high-temperature and high-performance design. One technology approach is to explore high-temperature heat-transfer fluids and storage, integrated with a high-efficiency power cycle such as the supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) Brayton power cycle. The s-CO2 Brayton power system has great potential to enable the future CSP system to achieve high solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency and to reduce the cost of power generation. Solid particles have been proposed as a possible high-temperature heat-transfer medium that is inexpensive and stable at high temperatures above 1,000°C. The particle/heat exchanger provides a connection between the particles and s-CO2 fluid in the emerging s-CO2 power cycles in order to meet CSP power-cycle performance targets of 50% thermal-to-electric efficiency, and dry cooling at an ambient temperature of 40°C. The development goals for a particle/s-CO2 heat exchanger are to heat s-CO2 to ≥720°C and to use direct thermal storage with low-cost, stable solid particles. This paper presents heat-transfer modeling to inform the particle/s-CO2 heat-exchanger design and assess design tradeoffs. The heat-transfer process was modeled based on a particle/s-CO2 counterflow configuration. Empirical heat-transfer correlations for the fluidized bed and s-CO2 were used in calculating the heat-transfer area and optimizing the tube layout. A 2-D computational fluid-dynamics simulation was applied for particle distribution and fluidization characterization. The operating conditions were studied from the heat-transfer analysis, and cost was estimated from the sizing of the heat exchanger. The paper shows the path in achieving the cost and performance objectives for a heat-exchanger design.

Engine turbine blades operate at a high speed of rotation and are subjected to high temperature and pressure prevailing gas from the combustion chamber, making the working condition very harsh. In particular, the leading edge of the blade, which is directly subjected to high-temperature gas impacts, is the hottest part of the turbine. Therefore, it is of great importance to improve the protection of the blade leading edge and enhance the understanding of this part of the flow field and temperature field. This paper will focus on the phenomenon of wake deflection and study the film cooling characteristics of the turbine blade under rotating condition. The characteristics of pressure surface and suction surface of the blade are verified by numerical simulation. The contents cover the influence of the film hole diameter, pitch, blowing ratio, rotation number and the development process, the film cooling efficiency on the outflow of coolant film. The result shows that Coriolis force, centrifugal force and secondary flow induced by rotation will change the mainstream flow along the blade, which will lead to changes of pattern concerning the development of the film on the blade surface. In the process of wake development, deflection occurs in different directions at different positions, and the greater the rotation number is, the more obvious the degree of deflection will be. Studying the model with film holes on the leading edge of the blade, these phenomena can be observed along the downstream on the pressure and suction surfaces. Also, models with film holes independently set on the pressure and suction surfaces can be used as proof of these features. At the same time, this paper studies the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the leading-edge gas film under rotating condition and focuses on the influence of rotation on the outflow and the development processes of the wake. The gas film cooling models in rotating state of different film hole diameters and film hole radial spacing will also be compared to further understand the flow and heat transfer characteristics of film cooling on the leading edge of the blade.

Regenerative cooling has become the most effective and practical method of thermal protection to the high temperature structures of scramjet engines. Pyrolytic reactions of endothermic hydrocarbon fuel have significant influence on the regenerative cooling process at high temperature due to a large amount of heat absorption and fluid components change. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) model is developed for numerically investigating the flow and heat transfer of pyrolytic reacted n-decane in the square engine cooling channel under supercritical pressure with asymmetrical heating imposed on the bottom channel surface. The one-step global pyrolytic reaction mechanism consisting of 18 species is adopted to simulate the pyrolysis process of n-decane. The governing equations for species continuum, momentum, energy and the k-ω turbulence equation are properly solved, with accurate computations of the thermophysical and transport properties of fluid mixture, which undergo drastic variations and exert strong impact on fluid flow and heat transfer process in the channel. The numerical method is validated based on the good agreement between the current predictions and the experimental data. Numerical studies of the pyrolysis effects on the characteristics of flow resistance and conjugate heat transfer under various operating conditions have been conducted. Results reveal that pyrolysis intensively takes place in high temperature regions. The pressure drop along the channel steeply rise due to the further fluid acceleration caused by pyrolysis. It is found that the variations of heat flux at the bottom, top and side fluid-solid-interface walls are totally different. Pyrolysis could lead to greater heat transfer enhancement at the bottom interface, consequently, more heat is transferred into the fluid region through the bottom interface. The dual effects of heat absorption and enhanced heat transfer caused by pyrolysis produce strong influence on the wall temperature. The mechanism of these physicochemical phenomena are also analyzed in detail, which is conducive to fundamentally understand the complicated physicochemical process of regenerative cooling. The present work has profound significance for the development of regenerative cooling technology.

This paper discusses the turbulent flow and heat transfer from a uniform air flow with high temperature to the outside through a 90° curved square pipe. Both conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulation and experiments of temperature field measurements at cross sections of the pipe are performed. A straight pipe is investigated and compared with the 90° curved pipe. The temperature of the air flow at the inlet of the pipe is set at 402 K, and the corresponding Reynolds number is approximately 6 × 104. To obtain the spatial average temperature at each cross section, the temperature fields are measured along the streamwise of the pipes and in the circumferential direction using thermocouples at each cross section from the inlet to the outlet of both the straight and curved pipes. Furthermore, the simulation is performed for turbulent flow and heat transfer inside the pipe wall using the Re-normalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model and CHT method. Both the experimental and numerical results show that the curvature of the pipe result in a deviation and impingement in the high-temperature core and a separation between the wall and air, resulting in a secondary flow pattern of the temperature distribution.

High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR) development and operation is expanding in the United Kingdom, Russia, USA (Generation IV Reactors), and France (Pebble Bed Modular Reactor, PBMR). A prototype pebble bed reactor producing 10 MW thermal, High Temperature Reactor (HTR-10) is in operation in China. However, the general public remains skeptical of the safety and the perceived dangers of possible accidents. Of particular concern are blockages caused by local variations in flow and heat transfer that lead to hot spots within the bed. This paper models the accident scenario resulting from blockages due to the retention of dust in the coolant gas or from the rupture of one or more fuel particles used in the High Temperature Gas Cooled (Pebble Bed) Nuclear Reactors using the commercially available computer code COMSOL. Numerical modeling of flow and heat transfer in a packed bed produces an Elliptical Non-Linear Partial Differential equation that requires custom made computer codes. Previously published results obtained from the use of a custom-made verified computer code are limited to one accident scenario and involve considerable modification to study different accident scenarios. Thus the use of a commercially available computer code that can simulate many different accident scenarios is of considerable advantage. Further, this paper compares numerical solutions obtained from custom-made computer code with COMSOL simulation and discusses the advantages and limitations of both codes.

Nanofluid slip flow with distinct solid particles past a wedge with convective surface and high order slip is discussed in this paper. The wedge model is modified by considering the effects of Brownian motion and thermophphoresis together with the high order velocity slip and temperature jump. In this study, the governing fundamental equations are first transformed into third-order ordinary differential equations and solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Through error analysis and comparison with previous research, the effectiveness of HAM is ascertained, and the crucial influence of nanoparticles and high-order slip on the fluid skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient is analyed. Thermophphoresis parameter and suction/injection parameter are found to cause an increase in velocity and temperature. The rate of heat transfer in the Cu–water nanofluid is found to be higher than the others.
