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.

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%.

There is growing interest in the use of polymer composites with enhanced thermal conductivity for high performance fin arrays and heat sinks. However, the thermal conductivity of these materials is relatively low compared to conventional fin metals, and strongly orthotropic. Therefore, the design and optimization of such polymer pin fins requires extension of the one dimensional classical fin analysis to include two-dimensional orthotropic heat conduction effects. An analytical equation for heat transfer from a cylindrical pin fin with orthotropic thermal conductivity is derived and validated using detailed finite-element results. The thermal performance of such fins was found to be dominated by the axial thermal conductivity, but to depart from the classical fin solution with increasing values of a radius- and radial conductivity-based Biot number. Using these relations, it is determined that fin orthotropy does not materially affect the behavior of typical air-cooled fins. Alternatively, for heat transfer coefficients achievable with water cooling and conductivity ratios below 0.1, the fin heat transfer rate can fall more than 25% below the “classical” heat transfer rates. Detailed orthotropic fin temperature distributions are used to explain this discrepancy. Simplified orthotropic pin fin heat transfer equations are derived and validated over a wide range of orthotropic conditions.

Heat transfer coefficients in sub-cooled flow boiling in symmetrically heated narrow gap channels are reported at power densities of 1 kW/cm3 and greater. A pair of parallel ceramic resistance heaters in a nearly adiabatic housing forms the flow passage with length-to-gap ratios of 16:1 and 34:1. Water, Novec™ 7200 and 7300 are used as the heat transfer fluids at a mass flux of 100 to 1000 kg/m2s. Reynolds numbers range from ∼200 to ∼5600, Weber numbers range from ∼0.75 to ∼173, and boiling numbers from O(10−4) to O(10−2). Flow regimes span single-phase convection to nucleate flow boiling depending on mass flux and inlet sub-cooling, and exit quality can reach 40% in some cases. Results include overall two-phase heat transfer coefficients, wall temperature, exit quality and coefficient of performance. The initiation of flow boiling demonstrates that mean heater temperatures can be maintained below 95 °C over a wide range of power density and up to and exceeding 1 kW/cm3. A super position principle is suggested as an analytical framework to estimate exit quality and heat transfer coefficients. Highly favorable coefficients of performance across the data set indicate that the pumping power penalty within the heated zone is very small. Thus convective boiling in which the mechanism is nucleate boiling appears to hold the greatest potential to increase heat transfer coefficients, especially in small scale, inter-chip cooling strategies.

The thermal, mechanical, and morphological characteristics of three selected commercially available, injection-moldable, high thermal conductivity (20–32 W/m K), polyimide 66 (PA66) polymer composites from two vendors are characterized for possible heat exchange applications in electronic equipment. The fillers are found to consist of 10 μm diameter, 120–350 μm long fibers, made of carbon in two composites, and a hybrid combination of essentially carbon, oxygen, and silicon in the third composite. Fiber weight loading ranges from 63% to 69%. The hybrid, high-length fiber-reinforced material overall displays superior mechanical properties (i.e., ultimate tensile, flexural and impact strengths, and flexural modulus) compared with the other two carbon-filled composites. For the hybrid-filled and one carbon-filled material (both having a thermal conductivity of 20 W/m K), good agreement between mechanical property measurements and corresponding vendor data is obtained. For the material having the highest vendor-specified thermal conductivity (i.e., 32 W/m K) and weight filler fraction (i.e., 69%), mechanical properties are up to 37% lower than corresponding vendor data. The heat transfer rates of parallel plate, cross-flow air–water heat exchanger prototypes made of the three PA66 materials are comparable to that of an aluminum prototype having the same geometry. Based on the combined heat transfer and mechanical property characterization results, the hybrid, long fiber-filled PA66 polymer composite appears to have the best combination of mechanical and heat transfer characteristics, for potential use in electronics heat exchange applications.

Abstract The paper presents the results of the study of evaporation and boiling in a thin horizontal layer of liquid on microstructured surfaces in a wide range of changes in pressure. It is found that the thermal conductivity of materials of microstructured surfaces significantly affects the mechanism of steam removal from the pores and circulation of liquid along the heat transfer surface. It is determined that the pressure change leads to three regimes of heat transfer: evaporation, transition regime, and bubble boiling. The lowest values of the heat transfer coefficients and CHF were obtained in the transition regime; the highest ones were obtained in the bubble regime on both surfaces. Due to the higher thermal conductivity, the higher heat transfer coefficients and CHF were obtained on the bronze coating than on stainless steel over the entire pressure range.

Highly stretched polyethylene nanofibers are demonstrated to have thermal conductivities as high as ∼ 100 W/m.K along the fiber direction, which is comparable to many metals and is 3 orders of magnitude larger than the typical thermal conductivity of bulk polymers. The high thermal conductivity is attributed to the restructure of polymer chains in nanofibers by stretching, which improves the fiber quality toward the “ideal” single crystalline fibers. Our results suggest that high thermal conductivity polyethylene nanofibers may be able to serve as a cheaper alternative to conventional metal-based heat transfer materials in a wide range of applications.

Abstract The paper deals with a study of the effect of regulating elements on local values of heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces with forced air convection. The use of combined methods of heat transfer intensification, i.e. a combination of regulating elements with appropriately shaped heat exchange areas seems to be highly effective. The study focused on the analysis of local values of heat transfer coefficients in indicated cuts, in distances expressed as a ratio x/s for 0; 0.33; 0.66 and 1. As can be seen from our findings, in given conditions the regulating elements can increase the values of local heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces. An optical method of holographic interferometry was used for the experimental research into temperature fields in the vicinity of heat exchange surfaces. The obtained values correspond very well with those of local heat transfer coefficients αx, recorded in a CFD simulation.

Mass and heat transfer coefficients (MTC and HTC) in automotive exhaust catalytic monolith channels are estimated and correlated for a wide range of gas velocities and prevailing conditions of small up to real size converters. The coefficient estimation is based on a two dimensional computational fluid dynamic (2-D CFD) model developed in Comsol Multiphysics, taking into account catalytic rates of a real catalytic converter. The effect of channel size and reaction rates on mass and heat transfer coefficients and the applicability of the proposed correlations at different conditions are discussed. The correlations proposed predict very satisfactorily the mass and heat transfer coefficients calculated from the 2-D CFD model along the channel length. The use of a one dimensional (1-D) simplified model that couples a plug flow reactor (PFR) with mass transport and heat transport effects using the mass and heat transfer correlations of this study is proved to be appropriate for the simulation of the monolith channel operation.

AbstractThe present investigation deals with the steady three-dimensional flow and heat transfer of nanofluids due to stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field and heat source. Three types of water based nanoparticles namely, copper (Cu), aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are considered in this study. The temperature dependent variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation has been introduced in the energy equation. Using suitable similarity transformations the dimensional non-linear expressions are converted into dimensionless system and are then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme along with well-known shooting technique. The impact of various flow parameters on axial and transverse velocities, temperature, surface frictional coefficients and rate of heat transfer coefficients are visualized both in qualitative and quantitative manners in the vicinity of stretching sheet. The results reviled that the temperature and velocity of the fluid rise with increasing values of variable thermal conductivity parameter. Also, the temperature and normal velocity of the fluid in case of Cu-water nanoparticles is more than that of Al2O3- water nanofluid. On the other hand, the axial velocity of the fluid in case of Al2O3- water nanofluid is more than that of TiO2nanoparticles. In addition, the current outcomes are matched with the previously published consequences and initiate to be a good contract as a limiting sense.
