Steady State Heat Transfer

The heat sink with vertically rectangular interrupted fins was investigated numerically in a natural convection field, with steady-state heat transfer. A numerical study has been conducted using ANSYS Fluent software (R16.1) in order to develop a 3-D numerical model.  The dimensions of the fins are (305 mm length, 100 mm width, 17 mm height, and 9.5 mm space between fins. The number of fins used on the surface is eight. In this study, the heat input was used as follows: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 watts. This study focused on interrupted rectangular fins with a different arrangement and angle of the fins. Results show that the addition of interruption in fins in various arrangements will improve the thermal performance of the heat sink, and through the results, a better interruption rate as an equation can be obtained.

Summary This paper presents an example of humid air flow around a single head of Chinese cabbage under conditions of complex heat transfer. This kind of numerical simulation allows us to create a heat and humidity transfer model between the Chinese cabbage and the flowing humid air. The calculations utilize the heat transfer model in porous medium, which includes the temperature difference between the solid (vegetable tissue) and fluid (air) phases of the porous medium. Modelling and calculations were performed in ANSYS Fluent 14.5 software.

Multilayer Insulation

Thermal insulation is an important area, not restricted to mechanical engineering, but widely studied in environmentalissues, such as global warming and, above all, energy-saving, since controlling the heat flux on microprocessorsthrough temperature control on components in space applications. This work focuses on controlling the temperature incomponents that could not lose or gain so much heat in space, especiallywhen the overall safety of sending satellites onspecific missions is required. To ensure that, Multilayer Insulation (MLI) is used. With fluid mechanics and radiation-conductionheat transfer theory, it was possible to calculate the transient and stationary temperature field and heat flux inMLI. The boundary temperatures are specified at 300K and 4K. The results, from solving the resulting discretized ODE,simulated with fsolve and odeintScipy subroutines in Python, able to solve the equations numerically, were shown. Thedata given by the simulation was able to indicate the impacts of varying the layer density, emissivity of screen, the distancebetween screens and the perforation coefficient in stationary and transient approaches. A way to simulate the performanceof MLI numerically was presented. Modifying emissivity (e) showed variations higher than in the perforation coefficient(ξ). Layer density controls the distance between layers (d ), changing the conduction heat transfer. In the transient casesimulation, it was possible to notice that varying parameters impact in time to reach steady-state and final temperature.

Maximum Heat Transfer

Heat transfer resulting from the natural convection in a fluid layer contained in an infinite horizontal slot bounded by solid walls and subject to a spatially periodic heating at the lower wall has been investigated. The heating produces sinusoidal temperature variations along one horizontal direction characterized by the wave number α with the amplitude expressed in terms of a suitably defined Rayleigh number Rap. The maximum heat transfer takes place for the heating with the wave numbers α = 0(1) as this leads to the most intense convection. The intensity of convection decreases proportionally to α when α→0, resulting in the temperature field being dominated by periodic conduction with the average Nusselt number decreasing proportionally to α2. When α→∞, the convection is confined to a thin layer adjacent to the lower wall with its intensity decreasing proportionally to α−3. The temperature field above the convection layer looses dependence on the horizontal direction. The bulk of the fluid sees the thin convective layer as a “hot wall.” The heat transfer between the walls becomes dominated by conduction driven by a uniform vertical temperature gradient which decreases proportionally to the intensity of convection resulting in the average Nusselt number decreasing as α−3. It is shown that processes described above occur for Prandtl numbers 0.001 < Pr < 10 considered in this study.

Vertical Base

Fins are extended surfaces provided to enhance the heat transfer rate of a system. Several attempts have been made in the past to augment the heat transfer rate by using fins of various geometries. In the present study an array of rectangular fins with closed top, standing on a vertical base is analysed under natural convection conditions using commercial CFD code ANSYS FLUENT©. The numerical model is validated with the available experimental results for fins with open top under natural convection conditions. The plate fin heat sink is analysed for a constant heat duty of 60 W. The height, thickness and length of the fins are taken to be constant throughout the analysis. A detailed study is carried out to examine the dependency of the base plate temperature on the thickness of the closed top and on the number of fins. It is concluded based on the analysis that heat fins with closed top are found to have a decreased base plate temperature compared to the conventional rectangular fins.

Insulation Effect

This paper documents the thermal insulation effect of a screen installed inside a vertical rectangular enclosure (e.g., double-glazed window). The screen is a venetian blind system made out of horizontal strips that can be rotated. The focus is on the “closed” position, where the strips almost touch. The effect of this permeable screen on the temperature field, the flow field, and the overall heat transfer rate is determined numerically. The study shows that there exists a ceiling (critical) conductance for the air leakage through the screen, above which the screen does not cause a significant drop in the overall heat transfer rate. A numerical example shows how this critical conductance can be used to calculate the critical spacing that can be tolerated between two consecutive strips in the screen.
