Abstract Transient two phase flow and heat transfer in a gas-stirred steel ladle are numerically investigated. An Eulerian two fluid approach is used. The drag, lift and turbulent dispersion forces are taken into account for the interface interactions. Different interface heat transfer correlations such as Ranz-Marshall and Hughmark relations are used to examine the influence of heat transfer between gas-liquid interface on the flow. The flow pattern, the histories of both gas and molten steel temperatures, and the thermal stratification history are presented. Results show that gas injection can homogenize thermal field and result in a thermal stratification of about 2 °C only (not complete homogenization). The different heat transfer correlations examined for the bubble-liquid interface have negligible impact on the flow and thermal fields. Predictions are compared with experimental data measured in an industrial ladle and a reasonable agreement is achieved.

In this paper, our recent work in studying gaseous flow and heat transfer in micro geometries are summarized. Both continuum-based approaches and DSMC method is used to predict characteristics of micro flow in slip and transition flow regime. A new analytic solution for micro channel flow is proposed. The results in micro Couette flow, channel flow and backward facing step flow show that the rarefied flow in micro geometries exhibit unique and complicated behaviors. Our efforts in exploring the flow and heat transfer mechanism for micro gaseous flow are useful in broad engineering applications of micro mechanical devices and system.

In this study, fluid flow and heat transfer in two-dimensional staggered thin rectangular blocks in a channel flow heat exchanger is analyzed by the Finite Analytic Numerical Method. The heat exchanger consists of four staggered thin rectangular blocks at temperature T1 placed inside a channel which is formed by two plates maintained at constant temperature T0. The fluid is considered to be incompressible and the flow laminar. Flow and heat transfer from the inlet of the heat exchanger to the outlet are simulated by solving Navier-Stokes and energy equations. Results were obtained for different block spacing and different size of the blocks. Computations were made for Reynolds numbers 100, 500, and 1,000, and Prandtl numbers 0.7 and 4.0. The results are presented in the form of velocity vector fields, isotherms, and local and global Nusselt numbers. The characteristics of the heat transfer and pressure drop in different block size and block separation are analyzed. The optimal length of separation between thin blocks and the optimal block length for maximum heat transfer are determined.

Abstract At the stands of Research Institute of Mechanics at the Moscow State University, we experimentally confirmed the mechanism of anomalous intensification of the separation flow and heat exchange in inclined oval-trench dimples (OTD) on the plate, which was discovered during numerical studies. The measured static pressure differences in single OTD at Re=6.7×104 are in good agreement with the numerical forecasts within the framework of the RANS approach at Re=104.
