When the casting roller is cooled or heated in the preconditioning chamber the water is supplied to its surface by flat-jet nozzles. The visual inspection of the model of the casting roller showed that a considerable part of it can be covered with the water film spreading from sprinkling zones. It was established that the heat conductivity in the roller body is considered to be a crucial thermal preparation factor in the conjugate heat-exchange problem for the roller of a large diameter at Bio criterion values exceeding 20. Hence, it is sufficient to provide an essential level of the heat transfer that corresponds to the heat transfer coefficient of 2000 W/(m2∙K) to provide appropriate operating conditions for the thermal preparation of the roller. The conditions are also met in sprinkling zones. Due to this fact this scientific paper studies the heat exchange conditions under the water film that spreads between the adjacent sprinkling zones. A range of changes in the flow rate of the spreading water film was determined experimentally. The conditions of heat exchange between the surface of alpha-calorimeter and the water film were analyzed depending on its flow rate and the heat meter surface temperature. A generalized correlation equation was derived. It was established that the heat exchange intensity in sprinkling zones and under the spreading water film meets technological roller treatment conditions in the preconditioning chambers. The obtained research data can be used for the rational arrangement of the collectors and flat-jet nozzles in casting roller preconditioning chambers to reduce the cold and hot water consumption and cut down operating costs.

Temperature and velocity fields in high-temperature lead coolant flows in a circular clearance for controlled oxygen impurity content in a flow were experimentally studied at the Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University by R.E. Alekseev (NNSTU). Temperature and velocity fields were simultaneously studied in “cold” and “hot” parts of the circuit in the following operating conditions: the lead temperature is t = 400–550 °C, the thermodynamic activity of oxygen is a = 10−5–100; the Peclet number is Pe = 500–7000, the coolant flow velocity is w = 0.1–1.5 m/s, and the average heat flux is q = 50–160 kW/m2. It has been found that the oxygen impurity content and characteristics of protective oxide coatings affect temperature and velocity fields in round and circular channels. This is due to the fact that oxygen in a coolant and oxide coatings on the surfaces limiting a liquid metal flow influence characteristics of the wall boundary region. The heat transfer process that occurs when HLMC transversely flows around heat exchange pipes is investigated now at the NNSTU. The experimental facility is a combination of two high-temperature liquid-metal stands, i.e., FT-2 with the lead coolant and FT-1 with the lead-bismuth coolant combined with an experimental section. The temperature of a heat-exchange surface is measured by thermocouples of diameter 1 mm mounted in walls of heat-exchange pipes. Velocity and temperature fields in a high-temperature HLMC flow are measured by special sensors placed in the flow cross section between rows of heat-exchange pipes. Heat transfer characteristics and temperature and velocity fields in a high-temperature lead coolant flow are studied in the following operating conditions: the lead temperature is t = 450–500 °C, the thermodynamic activity of oxygen is a = 10−5–100, and the coolant flow rate through the experimental setup is Q = 3–6 m3/h, which corresponds to coolant flow velocities of V = 0.4–0.8 m/s. Integrated experimental studies of characteristics of the heat transfer that occurs when the lead coolant transversely or obliquely flows around pipes have been carried out for the first time and the dependences Nu = f(Pe) for controlled content of thermodynamically active oxygen impurity and sediments of impurities have been obtained. It is assumed that the obtained experimental data on distribution of velocity and temperature fields in a HLMC flow will permit to study heat transfer processes and to use them for developing program codes for engineering calculations of heat exchange surfaces (steam generators) with a HLMC flow around them.

Experimental studies of heat transfer in a heat exchanger of the "pipe-in-pipe" type with a rotating tube have been performed. It is established that in the investigated range of hot coolant flow rate, the rotation of the pipe makes it possible to increase the values of the heat transfer coefficients by 19-28%.

In this work the heat transfer and pressure drop experimental results obtained in a two step finned tube bank with conical fins are presented. The tube bank had an equilateral triangle array composed of nine finned tubes with conical fins inclined 45 degrees in respect with the tube axis. The heat exchange external area of a single tube is approximately 0.07 m2. All necessary thermal parameters, inlet/outlet temperatures, mass flows, for the heat balance in the tube bank were determined for different air velocities, Re = 3400–18400, and one constant thermal charge provided by a hot water flow with a temperature of 80 °C. As a result, the correlations for the heat transfer and pressure drop calculation were obtained. The experimental results were compared against the analytical results for a tube bank with annular fins with the same heat exchange area. It was found that the proposed tube bank using finned tubes with conical fins shows an increment of heat transfer up to 58%.

A flow over hot water film in horizontal channel (Poiseuille–Benard flow) is studied experimentally and by means of CFD. Averaged temperature and concentration fields were measured in central transverse plane using RTD and capacitive humidity probe for different Ri = Gr/Re2. A similarity of thermal and concentration field is discussed and the influence of thermal and humidity field by radiative heat transfer is investigated since it has a considerable effect. Same cases are modeled by CFD in commercial code Star-CCM+. Simulated thermal and concentration fields shows similar character as those from measurements when radiative heat transfer mode is considered.

The present work deals with experimental studies on heat transfer characteristic for buoyancy induced flow through inclined tubes inserted with twisted strips. The parameters varied during the experimetation are; tube inclination, heat supply twist pitch and fluid inlet temperature. It was found that the percentage enhancement in heat transfer coefficient decreases with increase in pitch and tube inclination. The flow rate is found to decrease with decrease in the pitch and increase in the tube inclination. It was also observed that the heat transfer coefficient and flow rate decreases with the increase in the inlet fluid temperature. This may be due to reduction in Rayleigh number caused because of higher heat loss at the tube surface.

Rapid airflow in oven will influence the heat transfer in baking process therefore the purpose of this study is to experimentally and numerically investigate the effects of operating conditions on the heat transfer mechanism and volume expansion during baking. Cakes are baked in an air fryer and convection oven with constant speed 5.11 m/s and 0.88 m/s respectively at 150, 160, 170 °C in different baking times. A heat transfer model was defined to describe the influence of baking temperature on internal cake temperature by Fourier’s law. It was observed that the presence of rapid airflow (air fryer) and increment in oven temperature yielded an increase in volume expansion but produced a less moist product. Cakes baked in the presence of rapid airflow at 150 °C were moister but with little volume expansion in the cakes compared to convection oven-baked cakes. Significant correlation between the numerical models with experimental temperature profiles were recorded during complete cake baking process.

The relevance of the work of information and diagnostic systems in the field of monitoring of plate heat exchange equipment is considered. The reliability of the monitoring devices requires an accurate mathematical description of the thermo hydrodynamic processes in the heat exchange channels. The classical description of these processes implies a uniform distribution of the flow rate of the working medium along the length of the plate package, which in turn implies equal conditions for the formation of salt deposition products on the heating surfaces of the plate heat exchanger. The use of dependencies that take into account the equality of costs for a package of plates reduces the reliability of diagnostics of the efficiency of hot water devices of the plate type. Since the geometric space formed by the plates is represented by parallel channels connected by sections of transit collectors, the method of resistance characteristics is proposed as a method of hydraulic calculation of the distribution features of liquid flows through heat exchange channels. The dependence of the design features of the location of the interplate channels relative to the input of the coolant into the distribution manifold is revealed. It is found that, the flow rate of the circulating coolant is less in the channels most remote from the inlet pipe than in the nearest channels. The hypothesis of the influence of the relative position of the channels in relation to the inlet pipe is confirmed by numerical studies of the hydrodynamic regime of the plate heat exchanger.

The results of experimental research of heat exchange under the nucleate boiling of refrigerants R404a, R407c and R410a on the tubes with capillary-porous coating are presented. Experimental studies were carried out with the aid of an experimental installation in conditions of a large volume at pressures of saturation pн = 0.9–1.4 MPa and densities of the heat flux q = 5–35 kW/m2. For the first time the criterion equation for the calculation of the intensity of heat transfer during evaporation of ozone safe refrigerants on surfaces with high thermal conductivity sintered capillary-porous coating was obtained. Experimental data are summarized satisfactorily in a wide range of parameters of the porous layer, i.e. the pressure (pн = 0.9–1.4 MPa) and heat loads (q = 5–35 kW/m2). The ratio makes us possible to calculate the heat transfer coefficients within ±20 %. The dependence can be used in engineering calculations of the characteristics of the heat exchangers of the evaporative type. The coefficient of heat transfer during boiling of refrigerants on the investigated surfaces with the sintered capillary-porous coating, 4 times higher than on a smooth one and 1.5 times higher than on the finned surface, that allows us to come to a conclusion about the advantage of porous coatings. Boiling in capillary-porous coating leads to a decrease in weight and size of the installations due to the heat exchange intensification and the size of the tubes smaller as compared to the size of the finned ones.
