In this research, a novel method to investigation the transient heat transfer coefficient in a channel is suggested experimentally, in which the water flow, itself, is considered both just liquid phase and liquid-vapor phase. The experiments were designed to predict the temporal and spatial resolution of Nusselt number. The inverse technique method is non-intrusive, in which time history of temperature is measured, using some thermocouples within the wall to provide input data for the inverse algorithm. The conjugate gradient method is used mostly as an inverse method. The temporal and spatial changes of heat flux, Nusselt number, vapor quality, convection number, and boiling number have all been estimated, showing that the estimated local Nusselt numbers of flow for without and with phase change are close to those predicted from the correlations of Churchill and Ozoe (1973) and Kandlikar (1990), respectively. This study suggests that the extended inverse technique can be successfully utilized to calculate the local time-dependent heat transfer coefficient of boiling flow.

Inverse Heat Transfer Problem

This paper presents a numerical method to address function estimation problems in inverse heat transfer problems using parameter estimation approach without prior information on the functional form of the variable to be estimated. Using an inverse analysis, the functional form of a time-dependent heat transfer coefficient is estimated efficiently and accurately. The functional form of the heat transfer coefficient is assumed unknown and the inverse heat transfer problem should be treated using a function estimation approach by solving sensitivity and adjoint problems during the minimization process. Based on proposing a new sensitivity matrix, however, the functional form can be estimated in an accurate and very efficient manner using a parameter estimation approach without the need for solving the sensitivity and adjoint problems and imposing extra computational cost, mathematical complexity, and implementation efforts. In the proposed sensitivity analysis scheme, all sensitivity coefficients can be computed in only one direct problem solution at each iteration. In this inverse heat transfer problem, the body shape is irregular and meshed using a body-fitted grid generation method. The direct heat conduction problem is solved using the finite-difference method. The steepest-descent method is used as a minimization algorithm to minimize the defined objective function and the termination of the minimization process is carried out based on the discrepancy principle. A test case with three different functional forms and two different measurement errors is considered to show the accuracy and efficiency of the used inverse analysis.

The paper describes an experimental procedure performed to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient of Al2O3 nanofluid working as cooling fluid under turbulent regimen through arrays of aluminum microchannel heat sink having a diameter of 1.2 mm. Experimental Nusselt number correlation as a function of the volume fractions, Reynolds, Peclet and Prandtl numbers for a constant heat flux boundary condition is presented. The correlation for Nusselt number has a good agreement with experimental data and can be used to predict heat transfer coefficient for this specific nanofluid, water/Al2O3. Furthermore, the pressure drop is also analyzed considering the different nanoparticles concentration.

The heat transfer coefficient over the surface of a pedestal with fillet radii has been measured using thermochromic liquid crystals and the transient heat transfer method. The tests were performed at engine representative Reynolds numbers for a geometry typical of those used in turbine blade cooling systems. The heat conduction process that occurs in the engine was subsequently modelled numerically with a finite element discretization of the solid pedestal. The measured heat transfer coefficients were used to derive the exact boundary conditions applicable to the engine. The temperature field within the pedestal, calculated using the correct heat transfer coefficient distribution is compared to that calculated using an area averaged heat transfer coefficient. Metal temperature differences of 90K are predicted across the blade wall.

Heat transfer coefficient of packed beds of shredded materials such as biomass fuels at low Peclet numbers is of interest. Due to the dependence of flow distribution on particle shape, the application of the Nusselt number correlation of packed bed of spherical particles overestimates the rate of heat transfer. This discrepancy is even more pronounced due to channeling effect at low Peclet numbers. Here, based on applying a pore submodel and combining the numerical simulation and experimental results of a cylindrical packed bed, a new correlation is derived for apparent Nusselt number of the packed bed of shredded materials. The correlation is approximated by a power law formulation for Pecelt < 25. The Nusselt number calculated from this correlation is in a good agreement with other experimental data.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

An analytical method for the numerical calculation of the heat transfer coefficient in arbitrarily shaped ducts with constant wall temperature at the boundary is presented. The flow is considered to be laminar and fully developed, both thermally and hydrodynamically. The method presented herein makes use of Galerkin-type functions for computation of the Nusselt number. This method is applied to circular pipes and ducts with rectangular, isosceles triangular, and right triangular cross sections. A three-term or even a two-term solution yields accurate solutions for circular ducts. The situation is similar for right triangular ducts with two equal sides. However, for narrower ducts, a larger number of terms must be used.
