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 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.

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.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation was implemented to analyze the heat transfer characteristics for jet impingement impact fin surface. 60 calculation cases were simulated to investigate the effects of different fin surfaces on heat transfer characteristics, and 12 jet array impingement cases were calculated for comparison. The results shown that the fin shape, the height and the fin arrangement were the critical factors to affect the jet impingement and the best combination were existed in a certain range. The thermal resistance of cylinder fin arranged in order was34.7 percent higher than that of cylinder fin arranged staggered. The thermal resistance of square fin arranged in order was38.9 percent higher than that of square fin arranged staggered .The heat transfer coefficients of impinging jet impact fin surface were better than that of jet array impingement. The fitting correlations on heat transfer of impinging jet impact fin surface were given.

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.

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.

Pin fins are widely applied in heat exchanger industry. The heat transfer characteristics of pin fins can be found in many textbooks and handbooks related to heat transfer or heat exchanger. However, most heat transfer experts recognized from their own experiences that the heat radiation effect equation contained the fourth order exponential of temperature and the emissivity of oxidized metal are higher, the inaccuracy of heat transfer rate might be higher while ignoring the effect of heat radiation. In this study, numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code was conducted to verify the heat transfer characteristics of pin fins. It is found that the error of heat transfer rate generated by ignoring heat radiation will be as high as 45 % while heat convection coefficient is 10 (Wm-2K-1 ) associated with the emissivity of fin surface is 1.0. It also revealed the heat radiation effect cannot be neglected for pin fins, especially for the application under high emissivity and low heat convection coefficient conditions.

A fork-type heat pipe (FHP) is a passive heat-transport and air-cooling device used to remove the decay heat of spent nuclear fuels stored in a liquid pool during a station blackout. FHPs have a unique geometrical design to resolve the significant mismatch between the convective heat transfer coefficients of the evaporator and condenser parts. The evaporator at the bottom is a single heat-exchanger tube, whereas the condenser at the top consists of multiple finned tubes to maximize the heat transfer area. In this study, the heat transfer characteristics and operating limits of an FHP device were investigated experimentally. A laboratory-scale model of an FHP was manufactured, and a series of tests were conducted while the temperature was varied to simulate a spent fuel pool. As an index of the average heat transfer performance, the loop conductance was computed from the measurement data. The results show that the loop conductance of the FHP increased with the heat transfer rate but deteriorated significantly at the operating limit. The maximum attainable heat transfer rate of the unit FHP model was accurately predicted by the existing correlations of the counter-current flow limit for a single-rod-type heat pipe. In addition, the instant heat transfer behaviors of the FHP model under different temperature conditions were examined to interpret the measured loop conductance variation and operating limit.
