Heat Transfer Improvement

This research presents a numerical study of turbulent periodic flow and heat transfer in threedimensional isothermalfluxed square duct with diagonal inclined rib inserted. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for Reynolds numbers in the range of 4000 to 20,000. The computations based on the finite volume method, and the SIMPLE algorithm has been implemented. Effects of rib pitch ratios (0.5 to 2) at a single blockage ratio of 0.2 and attack angle of 60o on heat transfer and friction factor in the duct are examined and their results of the inclined rib are also compared with those of the smooth duct. It is found that the inclined rib provides higher heat transfer rate and friction factor than the smooth duct for all cases. In addition, the decreasing of the pitch ratio leads to the rise in the Nusselt number and friction factor.

This paper reports the results of a numerical study on the fluid flow and heat transfer in a rotating square duct with 180 deg. bend. The computations are based the standard k-ε turbulence model with wall functions. At a fixed Reynolds number, results have been obtained over a range of Rotation numbers and coolant-to-wall temperature ratios. These results reflect the complex interaction of Coriolis forces, buoyancy forces, and curvature effects. For the outward leg, rotation causes the heat transfer enhancement on the trailing surface and degradation on the leading surface. However, in the inward leg, there is heat transfer degradation on the trailing surface and enhancement on the leading edge. The buoyancy forces cause further degradation in the heat transfer on the leading surface and enhancement on the trailing surface of the outward leg.
