The Impact

Fluids have an important role in grinding. Correct fluid application results in enhanced process stability, better work piece quality, and tool life. This paper shows that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models can be used to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer in a grinding process, replacing numerous experiments that are expensive, time-consuming, and have limited capabilities. The most important properties of created 3-D model are described, along with results obtained. The results show very detailed distributions of temperatures, pressures, and flow rates in and around the grinding region. The data obtained is essential in studying the influence of the grinding fluid on the grinding process, as well as in determining the best fluid composition and supply parameters for a given application. The results agree well with experimental global flow rates and temperature values and show the feasibility of 3-D CFD-based simulations in grinding applications. The parametric studies of influence of several fluid physical properties on useful flow rates and temperatures were presented as well.

Flow And Heat Transfer

The prediction of flow and heat transfer characteristics of liquid sodium with CFD technology is of significant importance for the design and safety analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactor. The accuracies and uncertainties of the CFD models should be evaluated to improve the confidence of the numerical results. In this work, the uncertainties from the turbulent model, boundary conditions, and physical properties for the flow and heat transfer of liquid sodium were evaluated against the experimental data. The results of uncertainty quantization show that the maximum uncertainties of the Nusselt number and friction coefficient occurred in the transition zone from the inlet to the fully developed region in the circular tube, while they occurred near the reattachment point in the backward-facing step. Furthermore, in backward-facing step flow, the maximum uncertainty of temperature migrated from the heating wall to the geometric center of the channel, while the maximum uncertainty of velocity occurred near the vortex zone. The results of sensitivity analysis illustrate that the Nusselt number was negatively correlated with the thermal conductivity and turbulent Prandtl number, while the friction coefficient was positively correlated with the density and Von Karman constant. This work can be a reference to evaluate the accuracy of the standard k-ε model in predicting the flow and heat transfer characteristics of liquid sodium.

Film Cooling Holes

This paper presents a numerical simulation of composite cooling on a first stage vane of a gas turbine, in which gas by fixed composition mixture is adopted. To investigate the flow and heat transfer characteristics, two internal chambers which contain multiple arrays of impingement holes are arranged in the vane, several arrays of pin-fins are arranged in the trailing edge region, and a few arrays of film cooling holes are arranged on the vane surfaces to form the cooling film. The coolant enters through the shroud inlet, and then divided into two parts. One part is transferred into the chamber in the leading edge region, and then after impinging on the target surfaces, it proceeds further to go through the film cooling holes distributed on the vane surface, while the other part enters into the second chamber immediately and then exits to the mainstream in two ways to effectively cool the other sections of the vane. In this study, five different coolant flow rates and six different inlet pressure ratios were investigated. All the cases were performed with the same domain grids and same boundary conditions. It can be concluded that for the internal surfaces, the heat transfer coefficient changes gradually with the coolant flow rate and the inlet total pressure ratio, while for the external surfaces, the average cooling effectiveness increases with the increase of coolant mass flow rates while decreases with the increase of the inlet stagnation pressure ratios within the study range.

Fluid Properties

Combined convection and radiation in simultaneously developing laminar flow and heat transfer is numerically considered with a discrete-direction method. Coupled heat transfer in absorbing emitting but not scattering gases is presented in some cases of practical situations such as combustion of natural gas, propane and heavy fuel. Numerical calculations are performed to evaluate the thermal radiation effects on heat transfer through combustion products flowing inside circular ducts. The radiative properties of the flowing gases are modeled by using the absorption distribution function (ADF) model. The fluid is a mixture of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and nitrogen. The flow and energy balance equations are solved simultaneously with temperature dependent fluid properties. The bulk mean temperature variations and Nusselt numbers are shown for a uniform inlet temperature. Total, radiative and convective mean Nusselt numbers and their axial evolution for different gas mixtures produced by combustion with oxygen are explored.

The Impact

The micropolar nanofluids are the potential liquids that enhance the thermophysical features and ability of heat transportation instead of base liquids. Alumina and Titania nanoparticles are mixed in a micropolar fluid. The impact of convective boundary condition is also examined with assisting and opposing flows of both nanofluids. The main objective of this study is to investigate mixed convective flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids across a cylinder in a saturated porous medium. Non-similar variables are used to make the governing equations dimensionless. The local similar and non-similar solutions are obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method of seventh order. The impacts of various embedded variables on the flow and heat transfer of micropolar nanofluids are investigated and interpreted graphically. It is demonstrated that the skin friction and heat transfer rates depend on solid volume fraction of nanoparticles, Biot number, mixed convection, and material parameters.
