In the paper the forced heat exchange phenomenon is validated based on experimental data shown by different authors in different countries and published in respected scientific journals. Software IQLab and regular thermal condition theory were used for solving inverse problems. The data of silver and copper spherical probes quenching in electrolytes were used. As in previous publication, it was established in the paper that heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) increase versus time during quenching of silver and copper probes in electrolytes. As noted early, all of this contradicts the theory of transient nucleate boiling processes. The problem is solved by periodical replacement of film boiling by shock boiling with the high frequency that takes place during quenching. The new idea can be used in practice for designing new and original quenching technology to save materials, increase service life of machine components and also provide an environmentally friendly solution. The importance of new technologies is widely discussed in the paper.

In large, subcritical pressure, once-through power boilers heat is transferred to steam and water mixtures ranging in steam quality from zero per cent at the bottom of the furnace to 100 per cent at the top. In order to provide design information for this type of boiler, heat-transfer coefficients for forced convection film boiling were determined for water at 3000 psia flowing upward in a vertical stainless-steel tube, AISI Type 304, having an inside diameter of 0.408 inches and a heated length of 6 feet. Heat fluxes ranged between 90,000 and 180,000 Btu/hr-sq ft and were obtained by electrical resistance heating of the tube. The operation of the experimental equipment was controlled so that nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and stable film boiling occurred simultaneously in different zones of the tube. The film boiling data were correlated with a modified form of the equation Nu = a a(Re)m(Pr)n using steam properties evaluated at inside surface temperature. Results of a second series of heat-transfer tests with tubes having a helical rib on the inside surface showed that nucleate boiling could be maintained to much higher steam qualities with that type of tube than with a smooth-bore tube.

Quenching heat treatment in a liquid medium is a very complex heat transfer process. Heat extraction from the part surface occurs through several different heat transfer mechanisms in distinct temperature ranges, namely, film boiling, partial film boiling (i.e. transition), nucleate boiling and convection. The maximum heat transfer occurs during the nucleate boiling stage. Experimental study shows that, the effective surface heat transfer coefficient varies more than two orders of magnitude with the temperature during the quenching. For quenching process simulation, accurate prediction of the time-temperature history and microstructure evolution within the part largely depends on the accuracy of the boundary condition supplied. The heat transfer coefficient is the most important boundary condition for process simulation. This study focuses on creating a database of heat transfer coefficients for various liquid quenchant-metallic alloy combinations through experimentation using three different quench probes. This database is a web-based tool for use in quench process simulation. It provides at-a-glance information for quick and easy analysis and sets the stage for a Decision Support System (DSS) and Data Mining for heat-treating process.

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the cooldown behavior of the Poloidal Field (PF) magnets. A full-scale model of a section of the cooling passages was built for this purpose. LN2, was used as the coolant in the vertical passages at mass fluxes ranging between 42 to 140 Kg/m2-s and heat fluxes from 17000 to 75000 W/m2 with nearly saturated liquid at the inlet. The heat flux was controlled with resistive heaters. Two distinct boiling regimes were observed. The first, Type I consists of film-boiling throughout the passage. Type II has nucleate boiling at the inlet, and is followed, in a short distance, to film-boiling. The equilibrium quality at the burnout point was calculated and was found to increase slightly with decreasing heat flux. The Leidenfrost temperature at which liquid Nitrogen wets the wall was measured to be about 180–200 K. Heat transfer coefficients in the order of 200–500 W/m2-K for film boiling and 5000 to 10000 W/m2-k for nucleate boiling in the type II regime were attained. Higher heat flux and mass flow rates resulted in higher heat transfer coefficients. Empirical correlations were obtained for the nucleate region of the type II regime.

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.

Survey of the works on condensation inside smooth horizontal tubes published from 1955 to 2013 has been performed. Theoretical and experimental investigations, as well as more than 25 methods and correlations for heat transfer prediction are considered. It is shown that accuracy of this prediction depends on the accuracy of volumetric vapor content and pressure drop at the interphase. The necessity of new studies concerning both local heat transfer coefficients and film condensation along tube perimeter and length under annular, stratified and intermediate regimes of phase flow was substantiated. These characteristics being defined will allow determining more precisely the boundaries of the flow regimes and the methods of heat transfer prediction.

Nanofluids are engineered colloids composed of nano-size particles dispersed in common fluids such as water or refrigerants. Using an electrically controlled wire heater, pool boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) of Alumina and Silica water-based nanofluids of concentration less than or equal to 0.1 percent by volume were measured. Silica nanofluids showed a CHF enhancement up to 68% and there seems to be a monotonic relationship between the nanoparticle concentration and the magnitude of enhancement. Alumina nanofluids had a CHF enhancement up to 56% but the peak occurred at the intermediate concentration. The boiling curves in nanofluid were found to shift to the left of that of water and correspond to higher nucleate boiling heat transfer coefficients in the two-phase flow regime. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images show a porous coating layer of nanoparticles on wires subjected to nanofluid CHF tests. These coating layers change the morphology of the heater’s surface, and are responsible for the CHF enhancement. The thickness of the coating was estimated using SEM and was found ranging from 3.0 to 6.0 micrometers for Alumina, and 3.0 to 15.0 micrometers for Silica.
