The pre-swirl system is of great importance for temperature drop and cooling air supply. This study aims to investigate the influencing mechanism of heat transfer, nonuniform thermodynamic characteristics, and cooling air supply sensitivity in a pre-swirl system by the application of the flow control method of the pre-swirl nozzle. A novel test rig was proposed to actively control the supplied cooling air mass flow rate by three adjustable pre-swirl nozzles. Then, the transient problem of the pre-swirl system was numerically conducted by comparison with 60°, 120°, and 180° rotating disk cavity cases, which were verified with the experiment results. Results show that the partial nozzle closure will aggravate the fluctuation of air supply mass flow rate and temperature. When three parts of nozzles are closed evenly at 120° in the circumferential direction, the maximum value of the nonuniformity coefficient of air supply mass flow rate changes to 3.1% and that of temperature changes to 0.25%. When six parts of nozzles are closed evenly at 60° in the circumferential direction, the maximum nonuniformity coefficient of air supply mass flow rate changes to 1.4% and that of temperature changes to 0.20%. However, different partial nozzle closure modes have little effect on the average air supply parameters. Closing 14.3% of the nozzle area will reduce the air supply mass flow rate by 9.9% and the average air supply temperature by about 1 K.

Both experimental and theoretical investigations on the heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of compact cold plates have been performed. From the results, the local and average temperature rises on the cold plate surface increase with increasing chip heat flux or decreasing air mass flow rate. Besides, the effect of chip heat flux on the thermal resistance of cold plate is insignificant; while the thermal resistance of cold plate decreases with increasing air mass flow rate. Three empirical correlations of thermal resistance in terms of air mass flow rate with a power of −0.228 are presented. As for average Nusselt number, the effect of chip heat flux on the average Nusselt number is insignificant; while the average Nusselt number of the cold plate increases with increasing Reynolds number. An empirical relationship between Nu¯cp and Re can be correlated. In the flow frictional aspect, the overall pressure drop of the cold plate increases with increasing air mass flow rate; while it is insignificantly affected by chip heat flux. An empirical correlation of the overall pressure drop in terms of air mass flow rate with a power of 1.265 is presented. Finally, both heat transfer performance factor “j” and pumping power factor “f” decrease with increasing Reynolds number in a power of 0.805; while they are independent of chip heat flux. The Colburn analogy can be adequately employed in the study.


In this investigation of multi heat pipe induced in heat exchanger shows the developments in heat transfer is to improve the efficiency of heat exchangers. Water is used as a heat transfer fluid and acetone is used as a working fluid. Rotameter is set to measure the flow rate of cold water and hot water. To maintain the parameter as experimental setup. Then set the mass flow rate of hot water as 40 LPH, 60LPH, 80 LPH, 100LPH, 120 LPH and mass flow rate of cold water as 20 LPH, 30 LPH, 40 LPH, 50 LPH, and 60 LPH. Then 40 C, 45 ºC, 50 ºC, 55 C, 60 ºC are the temperatures of hot water at inlet are maintained. To find some various physical parameters of Qc , hc , Re ,, Pr , Rth. The maximum effectiveness of the investigation obtained from condition of Thi 60 C, Tci 32 C and 100 LPH mhi, 60 LPH mci the maximum effectiveness attained as 57.25. Then the mhi as 100 LPH, mci as 60 LPH and Thi at 40 C as 37.6%. It shows the effectiveness get increased about 34.3 to the maximum conditions.

The ½ cycle refrigeration system on LPG fueled vehicles has a significant cooling effect. However, the cooling is very dependent on the heat exchange process in the evaporator. Therefore, this paper analyses the deviation of the actual cooling curve from the ideal scenario carried out on a laboratory scale. The analytical method used is the calculation of the effectiveness of the evaporator, which compares the actual to the potential heat transfer capacity. The LPG flow rate was varied from 1-6 g/s, while the evaporation pressure ranged between 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 MPa, which applied to compact type evaporators with dimensions of 262 ´ 200 mm, with a thickness of 65 mm. The research results confirm that the higher the LPG mass flow rate, the lower the heat transfer effectiveness. At the higher LPG mass flow rate, heat transfer occurs less optimally,  due to incomplete evaporation of LPG in the evaporator.

Performance of generic rim seal configurations, axial-clearance rim seal (ACS), radial-clearance rim seal (RCS), radial-axial clearance rim seal (RACS) are compared under realistic working conditions. Conjugate heat transfer analysis on rim seal is performed in this paper to understand the impact of ingestion on disc temperature. Results show that seal effectiveness and cooling effectiveness of RACS are the best when compared with ACS and RCS, the minimum mass flow rate for seal of RACS is 75% of that of RCS, and 34.6% of ACS. Authors compare the disc temperature distribution between different generic rim seal configurations where the RACS seems to be favorable in terms of low disc temperature. In addition, RACS has higher air-cooled aerodynamic efficiency, minimizing the mainstream performance penalty when compared with ACS and RCS. Corresponding to the respective minimum mass flow rate for seal, the air-cooled aerodynamic efficiency of RACS is 23.71% higher than that of ACS, and 12.79% higher than the RCS.

Abstract This is the second part of a two-part series that presents the results of liquid nitrogen spray quenching of a Stainless Steel disc. The results of continuous-flow spray chilldown of a bare surface disc are summarized first that serves as the baseline information for evaluating the effects of disc surface coating and pulse flow. We found that for continuous-flow spray chilldown of a bare surface disc, the chilldown efficiency is mainly a function of the average mass flow rate with the trend of decreasing efficiency with increasing mass flow rate. Additional experiments were performed to evaluate the enhancement of cryogenic spray quenching by three techniques: 1. Using intermittent pulse sprays on SS bare surface, 2. Coating the SS surface with a layer of low thermal conductivity Teflon film, and 3. Spraying liquid nitrogen intermittently on the coated SS surface. In general, the results indicate that all three methods effectively produced higher spray thermal efficiencies and reduced liquid nitrogen mass consumption. However, it was also found that the Teflon coating was more effective than the flow pulsing due to that the Teflon coating induced a large surface temperature drop at the beginning of the chilldown that allowed the quenching to move quickly from poor heat transfer film boiling to efficient heat transfer transition and nucleate boiling regimes. This quick transition shortens the film boiling period, thus facilitates the switch to much higher heat transfer transition boiling and nucleate boiling periods earlier to complete the chilldown process faster.
