In the world of industry, insulation materials are often utilized to maintain the temperature,either low or high. However, since the insulation materials often need to be thick, thus,costly, they are frequently deemed impractical. Therefore, in the attempt to replace the insulationmaterials, a cavity with low vacuum pressure is opted for. Yet, to attain a total (100%) airfreecavity is not an easy task. Such, the cavity usually still bears some amount of air pressurewhich results in natural heat convection through the two surfaces making up the cavity. Thetransfer coefficient of natural heat convection (h) is influenced by some factors, such as, the temperaturedifference, geometry of the cavity, cavity orientation, and characteristics of the fluid,for instance, its pressure, temperature, conductivity, specific gravity (density), and viscosity.The purpose of the study is to find answers to the following question: “How do vacuum pressurevariation and cavity ratio affect the rate of natural heat convection through the a cavity?” Pertinentto the question, the study was aimed to find the appropriate value of the vacuum pressurewhich can function well as an insulator. This study is significant in the attempt to lower downthe rate of heat transfer taking place in a system vis-à-vis the surrounding media. The studyfound out that the degree of emptiness of -60 cm Hg and =5.96, results in a lower rate of heattransfer compared with -20 cm Hg and -40 cm Hg. This means that the vacuum pressure of-60cm Hg bears a bigger thermal resistance than the -20 cm Hg and -40 cm Hg do.

The hot-wall heat exchanger (HWHE) has been widely used in thermal engineering fields such as ceiling radiant heating/cooling, refrigerator condenser, solar heat collection, and high-temperature heat recovery. However, the numerical simulation normally used for heat transfer prediction in HWHE is usually not as convenient as the analytic solutions in engineering applications. In this paper, a new heat transfer mathematical model of HWHE-based on analytic solutions was developed, which could be much faster to obtain the heat transfer properties of HWHE. The proposed model was validated under four conditions with literature values, which showed that the deviations of heat flux are 2.53%, 0.99%, 2.12%, and 1.96%, indicating its accuracy is satisfied. The model was then used to analyze the thermal property of HWHE. The results show the thermal resistance caused by panel with heat convection and conduction accounts for 96.54% of HWHE thermal resistance, and the thermal resistance caused by heat convection on the surface of panel is 74.43%. The analyzation results also show that adding aluminum foil around pipes could decrease HWHE thermal resistance by 5.11%. Besides, the influence of pipe diameters, pipe distance, pipe heat conductivity, side wall heat conductivity, and convective heat transfer coefficient on the heat transfer performance of HWHE was analyzed. The research in this paper can be used for fast prediction and optimization of heat transfer in HWHE.

An experimental investigation was conducted to explore the flow behavior, pressure drop, and heat transfer due to free air jet impingement on square in-line pin fin heat sinks (PFHS) mounted on a plane horizontal surface. A parametrically consistent set of aluminum heat sinks with fixed base dimension of 25 × 25 mm was used, with pin heights varying between 12.5 mm and 22.5 mm, and fin thickness between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm. A 6:1 contracting nozzle having a square outlet cross sectional area of 25 × 25 mm was used to blow air at ambient temperature on the top of the heat sinks with velocities varying from 2 to 20 m/s. The ratio of the gap between the jet exit and the pin tips to the pin height, the so-called tip clearance ratio, was varied from 0 (no tip clearance) to 1. The stagnation pressure recovered at the center of the heat sink was higher for tall pins than short pins. The pressure loss coefficient showed a little dependence on Re, increased with increasing pin density, and pin diameter, and decreased with increasing pin height and clearance ratio. The overall base-to-ambient thermal resistance decreased with increasing Re number, pin density and pin diameter. Surprisingly, the dependence of the thermal resistance on the pin height and clearance ratio was shown to be mild at low Re, and to vanish at high Re number.

A microstructure-sensitive thermomechanical simulation framework is developed to predict the mechanical and heat transfer properties of vertically aligned CNT (VACNT) arrays used as thermal interface materials (TIMs). The model addresses the gap between atomistic thermal transport simulations of individual CNTs (carbon nanotubes) and experimental measurements of thermal resistance of CNT arrays at mesoscopic length scales. Energy minimization is performed using a bead–spring coarse-grain model to obtain the microstructure of the CNT array as a function of the applied load. The microstructures obtained from the coarse-grain simulations are used as inputs to a finite volume solver that solves one-dimensional and three-dimensional Fourier heat conduction in the CNTs and filler matrix, respectively. Predictions from the finite volume solver are fitted to experimental data on the total thermal resistance of CNT arrays to obtain an individual CNT thermal conductivity of 12 W m−1 K−1 and CNT–substrate contact conductance of 7 × 107 W m−2 K−1. The results also indicate that the thermal resistance of the CNT array shows a weak dependence on the CNT–CNT contact resistance. Embedding the CNT array in wax is found to reduce the total thermal resistance of the array by almost 50%, and the pressure dependence of thermal resistance nearly vanishes when a matrix material is introduced. Detailed microstructural information such as the topology of CNT–substrate contacts and the pressure dependence of CNT–opposing substrate contact area are also reported.

In this paper, ways of heat transfer through windows and doors between the indoor and outdoor environment in the northern area are summarized. And every heat transfer way is described by mathematical formula. On this basis, methods to improve the energy saving performance of exterior windows are put forward according to factors affecting heat transfer through windows. The first method is increasing solar radiation heat, and then reducing heat loss by infiltration, and increasing the thermal resistance as much as possible. Ideal form of energy-saving window is proposed based on compared windows with different material and thermal resistance.

AbstractNanofluids are emerging two-phase thermal fluids that play a vital part in heat exchangers owing to its heat transfer features. Ceramic nanoparticles aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and silicon dioxide (SiO2) were produced by the sol-gel technique. Characterizations have been done through powder X-ray diffraction spectrum and scanning electron microscopy analysis. Subsequently, few volume concentrations (0.0125–0.1%) of hybrid Al2O3–SiO2 nanofluids were formulated via dispersing both ceramic nanoparticles considered at 50:50 ratio into base fluid combination of 60% distilled water (W) with 40% ethylene glycol (EG) using an ultrasonic-assisted two-step method. Thermal resistance besides heat transfer coefficient have been examined with cylindrical mesh heat pipe reveals that the rise of power input decreases the thermal resistance and inversely increases heat transfer coefficient about 5.54% and 43.16% respectively. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been employed for the investigation of heat pipe experimental data. The significant factors on the various convective heat transfer mechanisms have been identified using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) tool. Finally, the empirical models were developed to forecast the heat transfer mechanisms by regression analysis and validated with experimental data which exposed the models have the best agreement with experimental results.

Two-dimensional turbulent heat transfer between a series of parallel plates with surface mounted discrete block heat sources was studied numerically. The computational domain was subjected to periodic conditions in the streamwise direction and repeated conditions in the cross-stream direction (Double Cyclic). The second source term was included in the energy equation to facilitate the correct prediction of a periodically fully developed temperature field. These channels resemble cooling passages in electronic equipment. The k–ε model was used for turbulent closure and calculations were made for a wide range of independent parameters (Re, Ks/Kf, s/w, d/w, and h/w). The governing equations were solved by using a finite volume technique. The numerical procedure and implementation of the k–ε model was validated by comparing numerical predictions with published experimental data (Wirtz and Chen, 1991; Sparrow et al., 1982) for a single channel with several surface mounted blocks. Computations were performed for a wide range of Reynolds numbers (5 × 104–4 × 105) and geometric parameters and for Pr = 0.7. Substrate conduction was found to reduce the block temperature by redistributing the heat flux and to reduce the overall thermal resistance of the module. It was also found that the increase in the Reynolds number decreased the thermal resistance. The study showed that the substrate conduction can be an important parameter in the design and analysis of cooling channels of electronic equipment. Finally, correlations for the friction factor (f) and average thermal resistance (R) in terms of independent parameters were developed.

Both experimental and theoretical investigations on the heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of compact cold plates have been performed. From the results, the local and average temperature rises on the cold plate surface increase with increasing chip heat flux or decreasing air mass flow rate. Besides, the effect of chip heat flux on the thermal resistance of cold plate is insignificant; while the thermal resistance of cold plate decreases with increasing air mass flow rate. Three empirical correlations of thermal resistance in terms of air mass flow rate with a power of −0.228 are presented. As for average Nusselt number, the effect of chip heat flux on the average Nusselt number is insignificant; while the average Nusselt number of the cold plate increases with increasing Reynolds number. An empirical relationship between Nu¯cp and Re can be correlated. In the flow frictional aspect, the overall pressure drop of the cold plate increases with increasing air mass flow rate; while it is insignificantly affected by chip heat flux. An empirical correlation of the overall pressure drop in terms of air mass flow rate with a power of 1.265 is presented. Finally, both heat transfer performance factor “j” and pumping power factor “f” decrease with increasing Reynolds number in a power of 0.805; while they are independent of chip heat flux. The Colburn analogy can be adequately employed in the study.
