This paper is devoted to study the effect of heat transfer on the temperature distribution in a superheated liquid during the growth of vapour bubbles immersed in different types of nanoparticles/water nanofluids between two-phase turbulent flow. The mathematical model is formulated and solved analytically depending on Scriven's theory and using the modification of the method of the similarity parameters between two finite boundaries. The characteristics of vapour bubble growth and temperature distribution are obtained by using the thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles nanofluids. The results indicate that the nanoparticle volume concentration reduces the bubble growth process under the effect of heat transfer. The better agreements are achieved, for bubble dynamics in turbulent nanofluid using the appropriate numerical and theoretical data for the values of concentration rate of nanoparticles χ=0,0.2,0.4. The temperature distribution surrounding the regime of bubble growth in pure water is more intensive than in other cases of Al2O3/H2O, Fe3O4/H2O and CuO/H2O nanofluids in turbulent flow. A Comparison of the current solution with previous works is carried out and discussed.

In this study, an experimental study of the nucleation heat transfer and bubble dynamics inside the Water-in-PAO nanoemulsion fluid has been performed. Synchronized highspeed video and infrared thermography are used here to capture time-resolved temperature distribution data for the boiling surface and direct visualization of the bubble cycle. Data gathered included measurements of bubble growth versus time, as well as temperature history of the heater surface underneath the bubbles. Our findings demonstrate a substantial increase in nucleate heat transfer (i.e., heat transfer coefficient), and significantly different bubble dynamics of nanoemulsion fluid compared to pure water. The bubble growth rate of the nanoemulsion lies in the diffusion-controlled regime, and the growth data fit a power law at n ≈ 0.3. This is similar to the authors’ previous study of a similar fluid and is very different from conventional fluids. While the heat transfer mechanisms behind are not completely understood yet, it is hypothesized that the interfacial structures and thermal transport between surfactant molecules surrounding water nanodroplets and the base PAO fluid at elevated temperature may contribute to that.

Measurements of space and time resolved heat transfer during subcooled pool boiling of pentane in earth gravity were obtained using a microscale heater array. Data from individual heater elements in the array were synchronized with bottom and side view images from two high-speed cameras. The heat transfer mechanisms during bubble growth were found to be dependent on bubble dynamics and bubble growth time. Single phase heat transfer mechanisms (transient conduction and/or microconvection) were found to be dominant for single bubbles with short growth times. Two phase heat transfer mechanisms (microlayer evaporation and/or contact line evaporation) were found to be dominant for bubbles with longer growth times.

The results of our work and a number of foreign studies indicate that the sharp increase in the heat transfer parameters (specific heat flux q and heat transfer coefficient _) at the boiling of nanofluids as compared to the base liquid (water) is due not only and not so much to the increase of the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids, but an intensification of the boiling process caused by a change in the state of the heating surface, its topological and chemical properties (porosity, roughness, wettability). The latter leads to a change in the internal characteristics of the boiling process and the average temperature of the superheated liquid layer. This circumstance makes it possible, on the basis of physical models of the liquids boiling and taking into account the parameters of the surface state (temperature, pressure) and properties of the coolant (the density and heat capacity of the liquid, the specific heat of vaporization and the heat capacity of the vapor), and also the internal characteristics of the boiling of liquids, to calculate the value of specific heat flux q. In this paper, the difference in the mechanisms of heat transfer during the boiling of single-phase (water) and two-phase nanofluids has been studied and a quantitative estimate of the q values for the boiling of the nanofluid is carried out based on the internal characteristics of the boiling process. The satisfactory agreement of the calculated values with the experimental data is a confirmation that the key factor in the growth of the heat transfer intensity at the boiling of nanofluids is indeed a change in the nature and microrelief of the heating surface.

The paper presents the results of modeling the dynamics of flow, friction and heat transfer in a descending gas-liquid flow in the pipe. The mathematical model is based on the use of the Eulerian description for both phases. The effect of a change in the degree of dispersion of the gas phase at the input, flow rate, initial liquid temperature and its friction and heat transfer rate in a two-phase flow. Addition of the gas phase causes an increase in heat transfer and friction on the wall, and these effects become more noticeable with increasing gas content and bubble diameter.

The runback water flow and heat transfer on the surface of aircraft components has an important influence on the design of anti-icing system. The aim of this paper is to investigate the water flow characteristics on anti-icing surface using numerical method. The runback water flow on the anti-icing surface, which is caused by the impinging supercooled droplets from the clouds, is driven by the aerodynamic shear forces and the pressure gradient around the components. This is a complex model of flow and heat transfer that considers flow field, super-cooled droplets impingement and runback water flow simultaneously. In this case of gas-liquid two phase flow, the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method is very suitable for the solution of thin liquid film flow so that it is applied to simulate the runback water flow on anti-icing surfaces in this paper. Meanwhile, the heat and mass transfer of the runback water flow are considered in the calculation using the User-Defined Functions (UDFs) in ANASYS FLUENT. The verification is conducted by the comparison with the results of the experimental measurement and the mathematical model calculation. The effect of the airflow velocity and contact angle on the water flow are also considered in the numerical simulation.

Conjugated heat transfer and hydraulic performance for nanofluid flow in a rectangular microchannel heat sink with LVGs (longitudinal vortex generators) are numerically investigated using at different ranges of Reynolds numbers. Three-dimensional simulations are performed on a microchannel heated by a constant heat flux with a hydraulic diameter of 160 μm and six pairs of LVGs using a single-phase model. Coolants are selected to be nanofluids containing low volume-fractions (0.5%–3.0%) of Al2O3 or CuO nanoparticles with different particle sizes dispersed in pure water. The employed model is validated and compared by published experimental, and single-phase and two-phase numerical data for various geometries and nanoparticle sizes. The results demonstrate that heat transfer is enhanced by 2.29–30.63% and 9.44%–53.06% for water-Al2O3 and water-CuO nanofluids, respectively, in expense of increasing the pressure drop with respect to pure-water by 3.49%–16.85% and 6.5%–17.70%, respectively. We have also observed that the overall efficiency is improved by 2.55%–29.05% and 9.78%–50.64% for water-Al2O3 and water-CuO nanofluids, respectively. The results are also analyzed in terms of entropy generation, leading to the important conclusion that using nanofluids as the working fluid could reduce the irreversibility level in the rectangular microchannel heat sinks with LVGs. No exterma (minimums) is found for total entropy generation for the ranges of parameters studied.


The flow due to a disk rotating in its own plane has been investigated theoretically by von Kármán, Goldstein, and others, but little has been published on the heat transfer. For laminar conditions theoretical solutions have been given by Millsaps & Pohlhausen and by Wagner, but for conditions when the flow is turbulent over the outer part of the disk there is no previous information. The present paper describes an experimental investigation of the heat transfer for a range of conditions from entirely laminar flow to conditions when the outer 80% of the disk area is under turbulence. For laminar flow the heat transfer agrees with Wagner’s results, but Millsap’s theory is found to give too low values and an explanation is given. For the turbulent case, which occurs in most practical applications, values are given for the heat transfer which is found to approach the expression N = 0∙015 R 0∙8 for all-turbulent flow. An attempt is made to deduce the turbulent flow heat transfer theoretically by assuming a 1/7 power law of temperature distribution, but this gives too low a value. Some measurements of the velocity and temperature profiles both for laminar and for turbulent conditions are given. For laminar flow these show fair agreement with the theoretical values. For turbulent flow the temperature ratios are higher than those of velocity, which explains the low heat transfer values calculated assuming a 1/7 power temperature distribution. The relation between heat transfer and friction torque is also discussed.

Bubble growth on a micro-finned surface, which can be used in enhancing boiling heat transfer, is numerically investigated by solving the conservation equations of mass, momentum, and energy. The bubble deformation or the liquid-vapor interface is determined by the sharp-interface level-set method, which is modified to include the effect of phase change and to treat the contact angle and the evaporative heat flux from the liquid microlayer on an immersed solid surface of a microfin. The numerical method is applied to clarify bubble growth and heat transfer characteristics on a surface including fin and cavity during nucleate boiling which have not been provided from the previous experimental studies. The effects of single fin, fin-cavity distance, and fin-fin spacing on the bubble dynamics are investigated. The micro-fin is found to affect the activation of cavity. The fin-cavity configuration is found to determine the bubble formation in a cavity. The vapor removal rate is also observed to significantly depend on the fin-fin spacing.
