An experimental investigation has been conducted to clarify heat transfer characteristics and flow behaviors around an elliptic cylinder. Also, flow visualization was carried out to clarify the flow patterns around the cylinder. The elliptic cylinder examined has an axis ratio of 1:2.17, was placed in the focus of parabolic plate. The test fluid is air and the Reynolds number based on the major axis length, c, ranged from 5 x 103 to 3 x 104. The angle of attack (?) was changed from 0? to 90? at 15? interval. It is found that the pressure distribution, form drag, location of separation point, and heat transfer coefficient depend strongly upon the angle of attack. Over the Reynolds number range examined, the mean heat transfer coefficient is at its highest at ? = 60? - 90?. The values of heat transfer coefficient in the case of free cylinder are higher than those for cylinder/plate combination at all angles of attack and Reynolds number range examined.

A study is carried out to investigate the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of water through narrow annulus. For most works undertaken before were mainly concerned with the heat transfer characteristics of heat removal systems, the experiments herein are conducted to detect the heat transfer characteristics of heated fluid, as well as cooled fluid, flowing through narrow annulus. In the experiments, directions of flow include horizontal, upstream and downstream. The Reynolds number range, based on the annular hydraulic diameter, of 10 to 30,000 is covered in the experiments. During the experiments, the transitions from laminar to turbulent convective heat transfer are carefully observed. It is found that fully turbulent convective heat transfer is achieved at a lower Reynolds number in narrow annulus than that in larger tubes. When the Reynolds number is lower than 150, the heat transfer is degraded attributed to the slow flow rate and axial heat conduction. The experimental results indicate that the heat transfer characteristics of narrow annular flow are different from that of lager, more conventionally sized pipe flow. A convective heat transfer correlation is developed and the comparisons are made with the correlations of other works.

An experimental and numerical study was conducted to investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics in channels with pin fin-dimple combined arrays of different configurations, where dimples are located transversely or both transversely and streamwisely between the pin fins. The flow structure, friction factor, and heat transfer characteristics of the pin fin-dimple channels of different configurations have been obtained and compared with each other for the Reynolds number range of 8200–50,500. The experimental study showed that, compared to the pin fin channel, depending on the configurations of the pin fin-dimple combined arrays the pin fin-dimple channel can have distinctively further improved convective heat transfer performance by 8.0%–20.0%, whereas lower or slightly higher friction factors over the studied Reynolds number range. Furthermore, three-dimensional and steady-state conjugate computations have been carried out for similar experimental conditions. The numerical computations showed detailed characteristics of the distribution of the velocity and turbulence level in the flow, which revealed the underlying mechanisms for the pressure loss and heat transfer characteristics in the pin fin-dimple channels of different configurations.

Combustor Liner

This paper presents a numerical computations are performed to investigate the convective heat transfer characteristics of a gas turbine can combustor under non reacting flow conditions in a Reynolds number range 50,000 to 600,000 with a characteristic swirl number of 0.7. A sample of computational predictions of flow behaviors under reacting conditions are also shown for swirling furnace flow of 0.52. The RNG (K-ɛ Model) predictions are compared with the experimental data of local heat transfer distribution on the combustor liner wall. It was observed that the flow field in the combustor is characterized by an expanding swirling flow, which impinges on the liner wall close to the inlet of the combustor. The peak heat transfer augmentation ratio (compared with fully developed pipe flow) reduces from 10.5 to 2.7. Additionally, the peak location does not change with Reynolds number since the flow structure in the combustor is also a function of the swirl number. The size of the corner recirculation zone near the combustor liner remains the same for all Reynolds numbers and hence the location of shear layer impingement and peak augmentation does not change. The heat transfer coefficient distribution on the liner wall predicted from the RNG (K-ɛ Model) is in good agreement with experimental values. The location and the magnitude of the peak heat transfer are predicted in very close agreement with the experiments.

Abstract In this work, fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) wall jets exiting from a circular and square opening are presented based on experimental investigations. Two hydraulic diameters, namely, 2.5 and 7.5 mm and a Reynolds number range of 5000–20,000 have been considered. Mean velocity and turbulence intensity distribution in the walljet are quantified using a hot wire anemometry. Measurements are done both along the streamwise and spanwise directions. Transient infrared thermography is used for mapping the temperatures over the surface, and the heat transfer coefficients are estimated using a semi-infinite approximation methodology. Results show that, for circular jets, the effect of the jet diameter on the local and the spanwise-averaged Nusselt number is most pronounced near the jet exit. Further, it is also observed that circular jets have an edge over square jets. A correlation with a high correlation coefficient of 0.95 has been developed for spanwise average Nusselt number as a function of the Reynolds number and the dimensionless streamwise distance.

This paper presents a numerical computations are performed to investigate the convective heat transfer characteristics of a gas turbine can combustor under cold flow conditions in a Reynolds number range between 50,000 and 600,000 with a characteristic swirl number of 0.7. The RNG (K-ε Model) predictions are compared with the experimental data of local heat transfer distribution on the combustor liner wall. It was observed that the flow field in the combustor is characterized by an expanding swirling flow, which impinges on the liner wall close to the inlet of the combustor. The impinging shear layer is responsible for the peak location of heat transfer augmentation. It is observed that as Reynolds number increases, the peak heat transfer augmentation ratio (compared with fully developed pipe flow) reduces from 10.5 to 2.7. Additionally, the peak location does not change with Reynolds number since the flow structure in the combustor is also a function of the swirl number. The heat transfer coefficient distribution on the liner wall predicted from the RNG (K-ε Model) is in good agreement with experimental values. The location and the magnitude of the peak heat transfer are predicted in very close agreement with the experiments.

A numerical study is performed to investigate nanofluids' flow field and heat transfer characteristics between the domain bounded by a square and a wavy cylinder. The left and right walls of the cavity are at constant low temperature while its other adjacent walls are insulated. The convective phenomena take place due to the higher temperature of the inner corrugated surface. Super elliptic functions are used to transform the governing equations of the classical rectangular enclosure into a system of equations valid for concentric cylinders. The resulting equations are solved iteratively with the implicit finite difference method. Parametric results are presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms, local and average Nusselt numbers for a wide range of scaled parameters such as nanoparticles concentration, Rayleigh number, and aspect ratio. Several correlations have been deduced at the inner and outer surface of the cylinders for the average Nusselt number, which gives a good agreement when compared against the numerical results. The strength of the streamlines increases significantly due to an increase in the aspect ratio of the inner cylinder and the Rayleigh number. As the concentration of nanoparticles increases, the average Nusselt number at the internal and external cylinders becomes stronger. In addition, the average Nusselt number for the entire Rayleigh number range gets enhanced when plotted against the volume fraction of the nanofluid.

Turbulent Gas Flow

Numerical simulations were performed to obtain for heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flow in micro-tubes with constant wall temperature. The numerical methodology was based on Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerinan (ALE) method to solve compressible momentum and energy equations. The Lam-Bremhorst Low-Reynolds number turbulence model was employed to evaluate eddy viscosity coefficient and turbulence energy. The tube diameter ranges from 100 μm to 400 μm and the aspect ratio of the tube diameter and the length is fixed at 200. The stagnation temperature is fixed at 300 K and the computations were done for wall temperature, which ranges from 305 K to 350 K. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the flow is in turbulent flow regime. The obtained Reynolds number ranges widely up to 10081 and the Mach number at the outlet ranges from 0.1 to 0.9. The heat transfer rates obtained by the present study are higher than those of the incompressible flow. This is due to the additional heat transfer near the micro-tube outlet caused by the energy conversion into kinetic energy.
