As part of the liquid cooling, most of the work has been done on fluid flow and heat transfer analysis for flow field. In the present work, the experimental and numerical studies of the microchannel the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis using nanoliquid coolant have been discussed. The practical aspects for increasing the high heat transfer coefficient from conventional studies and the different geometries and shapes of the microchannel are studied. The Aspect Ratio has significant effect on the microchannels and has been varied from AR 2, 4 and 8 to choose the optimum one. Three different fluids, i.e. de-ionized water, ethylene glycol, and a custom nanofluid are chosen for study. The proposed nanofluid almost interacts as another solid and has reduced thermal resistance, friction effect, and thus it almost vanishes high hot spots. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed nanofluid is excellent fluid for high rate heat removals. Moreover, the performance of the overall system is excellent in terms of high heat transfer coefficient, high thermal conductivity, and high capacity of the fluid. It has been reported that the heat transfer coefficient can be increased to 2.5 times of the water or any other fluid. It was also reported that the AR 4 rectangular-shaped channels are the optimum geometry in the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 800 considering laminar flow. Examination and identification is based upon the practical result that includes fabrication constraints, commercial application, sealing of the system, ease of operation, and so on.

Computational analysis of transient phenomenon followed by the periodic state of laminar flow and heat transfer due to an insulated rotating object in a square cavity is investigated. A finite-volume-based computational methodology utilizing primitive variables is used. Various rotating objects (circle, square and equilateral triangle) with different sizes are placed in the middle of the cavity. A combination of a fixed computational grid with a sliding mesh was utilized for the square and triangle shapes. The cavity is maintained as a differentially-heated enclosure and the motionless insulated object is set in rotation at time t = 0. Natural convection heat transfer is neglected. For a given shape of the object and a constant angular velocity, a range of rotating Reynolds numbers are covered for a Pr = 5 fluid. The Reynolds numbers were selected so that the flow fields are not generally affected by the Taylor instabilities (Ta < 1750). The evolving flow field and the interaction of the rotating objects with the recirculating vortices at the four corners are elucidated. The corresponding thermal fields in relation to the evolving flow patterns and the skewness of the temperature contours in comparison to conduction-only case were discussed. The skewness is observed to become more marked as the Reynolds number is lowered. At the same time, similarity of the thermal fields for various shapes for the same Reynolds number varifies the appropriate selection of the hydraulic diameter. Transient variations of the average Nusselt numbers on the two walls show that for high Re numbers, a quasi-periodic behavior due to the onset of the Taylor instabilities is dominant, whereas for low Re numbers, periodicity of the system is clearly observed. Time-integrated average Nusselt number of the cavity is correlated to the rotational Reynolds number and shape of the object. The triangle object clearly gives rise to high heat transfer followed by the square and circle objects.

A model of boiling heat transfer system was established by introducing disjoining pressure produced by three phase molecular interactions and Lie algebra analysis for a developed bubble in micro channel and simulation of chaotic movement of the obtained interface dynamic system was carried out in this paper. Experiments for 0.6 mm2 mm rectangular micro channel were carried out to obtain the pressure time serials. Power spectrum density analysis for this serials shows that the system is in chaotic state if the frequency is above 7.39Hz.The result indicates that high heat transfer performance of micro channel phase change system may relate to the characteristics of chaos.

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the structural sizes of multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink, which has been widely used to cool electronic chip for its high heat transfer coefficient and compact structure. Taking the thermal resistance and the pressure drop as goal functions, a binary-objective optimization model was proposed for the multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink based on Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method. The number of optimized micro-channel in width n1 and that in height n2 are 21 and 7, the width of optimized micro-channel Wc and fin Wf are 340 and 130μm, the height of optimized micro-channel Hc is 415μm, and the corresponding total thermal resistance of the whole micro-channel heat sink is 1.3354 °C/W. The corresponding pressure drop is about 1.3377 Pa. When the velocity of liquid is larger than 0.3 m/s, the effect of change of velocity of liquid on the thermal resistance and pressure drop can be neglected.

Heat exchange passages usually use internal fins to enhance heat transfer. These fins have ranged from simple ribs or turbulators to complex helical inserts. Applications of interest range from traditional heat exchangers to internal cooling of turbine blades. In the present paper, a novel fin design that combines the benefits of swirl, impingement and high heat transfer surface area is presented. Measurements of the internal heat transfer coefficients are provided using a liquid crystal technique. Pressure drop along the passage are also measured, therefore friction factors and thermal performance factors are presented. The experiments cover Reynolds number from 10,000 to 40,000 based on the hydraulic diameter of the main channel of the test section. Two models are tested, which have fins oriented at 30 degree and 45 degree to the flow direction, respectively. The results demonstrate that these novel designs produce overall heat transfer ratios greater than 3 compared to the smooth passage.

The latest research on energy piles demonstrates that most scholars are focusing their attention on optimization by designing more efficient heat exchanger coils, analyzing the heat pump matching parameters, and so on. However, after more than 20 years of development, these traditional methods for improving the heat transfer efficiency of energy piles have reached a bottleneck, and a new approach for the continued enhancement of this technology must be investigated. In this study, powdered graphite with high heat transfer characteristics was included in a concrete mix to create graphite concrete piles with enhanced heat transfer characteristics. The results from theoretical analysis, laboratory testing, and numerical simulation indicate that using graphite to improve the heat transfer efficiency of a concrete material is an effective method for enhancing the thermal efficiency of an energy pile system. The research results also show that the heat transfer coefficient of the concrete exhibits greater improvement when the graphite content is greater than 15% under the same environmental temperature. After studying the performance of the proposed graphite concrete energy pile under different environmental temperatures (10°C, 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C), the results indicate that the working efficiency of the energy pile is better in the summer than in the winter. Finally, parameters such as the cast-in pipe configuration and pile spacing are optimized.

The heat transfer performance of heat exchanger plate decreases as time goes by. The main reason for this phenomenon is the fouling of the heat exchanger plates. To remove the fouling, we have usually cleaned the plate of heat exchanger using chemicals or polishing brush or cloth with hand after stopping the equipment and disassembling the heat exchanger. However, to clean the plate using these methods, the heat exchanger equipment needs to be stopped and disjointed. In addition, it must be re-jointed after cleaning. Especially, the concern of environmental pollution happens in case of using chemicals. Therefore, we need to develop an automatic fouling removal equipment which can continuously keep high heat transfer efficiency and solve the problem of environmental pollution. So, in this paper, we developed and tested the equipment which can clean the fouling on heat exchanger plates automatically per constant period and interval using air bubbles. The total heat transfer coefficient decreased with a slower tendency when using air bubbles compared to the existing methods. There was 10% higher heat transfer effect air bubbles every 10 minutes for 2 hours to remove the fouling ingredients on the heat transfer surface area concerned to the case without air bubbles after 192 hours.

Energy piles, combined ground source heat pumps (GSHP) with the traditional pile foundation, have the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency, less space occupation and low cost. This paper summarizes the latest research on the heat transfer and bearing capacity of energy piles. It is found that S-shaped tubes have the largest heat transfer area and the best heat transfer efficiency; that energy piles need to be designed conservatively, such as adjusting the safety coefficient, number and spacing of the piles according to the additional temperature loads; and that unbalanced surface temperature has not been resolved, caused by uneven refrigeration/heating demand in one cycle. A composite energy pile applied to water-rich areas is proposed to overcome the decay of bearing and heat transfer performance. Besides, most of the heat transfer models are borehole-oriented and will fit for energy piles effectively if the models support variable ground temperature boundary conditions.
