In order to achieve uniform and effective impingement cooling, a swirling jet with a swirling angle of 45° (SIJ 45°) is put forward in this paper. Namely, there are four 45° spiral grooves equipped on the inner wall of the circular hole. The difference in the flow field and heat transfer characteristics between the conventional impinging jet (CIJ) and SIJ 45° is compared and analyzed. The spiral channels can increase the heat transfer rate and cooling uniformity because of the action of superimposed airflow. In addition, the thread nozzle brings lower pressure loss, which can reduce the airflow friction while effectively ensuring high heat transfer in the center area of the jet. An experimental system is built to investigate the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the impingement surface. Smoke flow visualization technology is used to explore the complex flow field of the CIJ and SIJ 45°, and the heat transfer rate of the target surface is analyzed based on thermocouple data. When 6000≤Re≤30,000, and 1≤h/dj≤8, the averaged Nusselt number (Nu) correlation for SIJ 45° is established, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. SIJ 45° is an effective measure to replace the CIJ, and the research herein provides some reference for designing the structure of new jets.

The aims of this study are to investigate flow characteristics in pulse jet combustor and heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet from pulse jet combustor. The combustor is Helmholtz type which has single combustor chamber and single tailpipe. The inner diameter (D) of tailpipe was 47 mm and tailpipe length was about 16D. The effect of number of air inlets: single inlet, double inlets with 90o apart, double inlets with 180o apart and triple inlets with 90o apart on flow and heat transfer characteristics were studied. A water cooled heat flux sensor was applied to measure heat transfer rate on the surface at stagnation point. The jet-to-plate distance was varied at L=1D, 2D, 4D, 6D and 8D. Two of pressure transducers were mounted on the wall of combustion chamber and on the wall of tailpipe at 4D from tailpipe outlet to measure pressure simultaneously. It is found that the variation of pressure near the tailpipe outlet is strongly depended on air inlet configurations. The pressure variations in pulse jet combustor could be preliminary related to the temperature and velocity of jet from tailpipe and heat transfer rate on jet impingement surface.

In this paper, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of dimple channels. To contrast with the channel with dimples, a numerical study on a smooth plate channel was also made. The results show that in dimple channel, flow separation occurred near dimple windward edge, low heat transfer rate was observed in these regions and dimple wake region owned high heat transfer rate. The calculation results show that the mean Nusselt numbers of dimple channel were 27.58 and the amplification is 15.2%. The friction factor of dimple channel is 0.018 and decrease by 5.26%, the thermal performance parameter TP is 1.18. It can be seen that the heat transfer in the channel is enhanced markedly with the staggered dimples.

This paper presents the effect of the changes in fin geometry on pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of louvered fin heat exchanger numerically. Three dimensional simulation using ANSYS Fluent have been conducted for six different configurations at Reynolds number ranging from 200 to 1000 based on louver pitch. The performance of this system has been evaluated by calculating pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient. The result shows that, the fin pitch and the louver pitch have a very considerable effect on pressure drop as well as heat transfer rate. It is observed that increasing the fin pitch will relatively result in an increase in heat transfer rate but at the same time, the pressure drop will decrease. On the other hand, low pressure drop and low heat transfer rate will be obtained when the louver pitch is increased. Final result shows a good agreement between experimental and numerical results of the louvered fin which is about 12%. This indicates the capability of louvered fin in enhancing the performance of heat exchangers.

Abstract In the supercritical water (SCW)-particle two-phase flow of fluidized bed, the particles that make up the particle cluster interact with each other through fluid, and it will affect the flow and heat transfer. However, due to the complex properties of SCW, the research on particle cluster is lacking, especially in terms of heat transfer. This research takes two particles as an example to study the heat transfer characteristics between SCW and another particle when one particle exists. This research uses the distance and angle between the two particles as the influencing factors to study the average heat transfer rate and local heat transfer rate. In this research, it is found that the effect is obvious when L/D = 1.1. When L = 1.1D, the temperature field and the flow field will partially overlap. The overlap of the temperature field will weaken the heat transfer between SCW and the particle. The overlap of the flow field has an enhanced effect on the heat transfer between SCW and the particle. The heat transfer between SCW and particles is simultaneously affected by these two effects, especially local heat transfer rate. In addition, this research also found that as the SCW temperature decreases, the thermal conductivity and specific heat of SCW increases, which enhances the heat transfer between SCW and the particles. This research is of great significance for studying the heat transfer characteristics of SCW-particle two-phase flow in fluidized bed.

The knowledge of heat loads on the turbine is of great interest to turbine designers. Turbulence intensity and stator-rotor axial gap plays a key role in affecting the heat loads. Flow field and associated heat transfer characteristics in turbines are complex and unsteady. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing these complex flow systems. Honeywell has been exploring the use of CFD tools for analysis of flow and heat transfer characteristics of various gas turbine components. The current study has two objectives. The first objective aims at development of CFD methodology by validation. The commercially available CFD code Fine/Turbo is used to validate the predicted results against the benchmark experimental data. Predicted results of pressure coefficient and Stanton number distributions are compared with available experimental data of Dring et al. [1]. The second objective is to investigate the influence of turbulence (0.5% and 10% Tu) and axial gaps (15% and 65% of axial chord) on flow and heat transfer characteristics. Simulations are carried out using both steady state and harmonic models. Turbulence intensity has shown a strong influence on turbine blade heat transfer near the stagnation region, transition and when the turbulent boundary layer is presented. Results show that a mixing plane is not able to capture the flow unsteady features for a small axial gap. Relatively close agreement is obtained with the harmonic model in these situations. Contours of pressure and temperature on the blade surface are presented to understand the behavior of the flow field across the interface.

Experimental research was conducted to understand heat transfer characteristics of pulsating heat pipe in this paper. The PHP is made of high quality glass capillary tube. The heat transfer rate and many other influence factors, the flow patterns were observed in the start-up, transition and stable stage under different fill ratio. The effects of heating position on heat transfer were discussed. The experimental results indicate that no annular flow appeares in top heating condition. The flow pattern in PHP is transferred form bulk flow to semi-annual flow and annual flow, and the performance of heat transfer is improved for down heating case under different fill ratios and heat transfer rate. The experimental results show that the total heat resistant of PHP is increased with fill ratio, and heat transfer rate achieves optimum at filling rate 50%. But for pulsating heat pipe with changing diameters the thermal resistance is higher than that with uniform diameters.

Impingement cooling offers very high heat transfer coefficients. Flow field, involved in impingement cooling is dominated by stagnation zone, transition zone and developing zone. Understanding of complex flow phenomenon and its effects on heat transfer characteristics is useful for efficient designing of impingement channels. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for the analysis of flow and heat transfer systems. Honeywell has been investigating the use of CFD to determine the characteristics of various complex turbine blade cooling heat transfer augmentation methods such as impingement. The objective of this study is to develop CFD methodology which is suitable for computational investigation of flow and heat transfer analysis of impingement cooling through validation. Single row of circular jets impinging on concave (curved) surface has been considered for this study. The validation was accomplished with the test results of Bunker and Metzger [10] and with the correlations of Chupp et al. [7]. The parameters which are varied in this study include jet Reynolds number (Re2B = 6750–10200), target plate distance to jet diameter ratio (Z/d = 3 and 4), and target surface sharpness (i.e. radius ratio, r* = 0.2, 0.4 and 1) the simulations are performed under steady state conditions. Predicted results are compared for local endwall heat transfer results along the curve length of the mid span target wall. Flow field results obtained at different locations are presented to understand the heat transfer behavior.

The objective of this article is to provide the heat transfer characteristics of Cu-H2O nanofluids in self-exciting mode oscillating-flow heat pipe under different laser heating input, and to compare with the heat transfer characteristics of the same heat pipe with distilled water as working fluids. In this paper, the peculiarity of heat transfer rate of the SEMOS heat pipe with Cu-H2O fluid has been experimentally confirmed by changing the proportion of working fluid and Cu nanoscale particles in the heat pipe. As the results, it has been confirmed that the parameter of filling rate of working fluid determine the heat transfer rate of SEMOS heat pipe, although under certain condition heat transfer performance could be improved because of the addition of nanofluids.
