The current study experimentally investigates the heat transfer augmentation on the novel axial corrugated heat exchanger tube in which the spring tape is introduced. Air (Pr = 0.707) is used as a working fluid. In order to augment the thermohydraulic performance, a corrugated tube with inserts is offered. The experimental study is further extended by varying the important parameters like spring ratio (y = 1.5, 2.0, 2.5) and Reynolds number (Re = 10 000–52 000). The angular pitch between the two neighboring corrugations and the angle of the corrugation is kept constant through the experiments at β = 1200 and α = 600 respectively, while two different corrugations heights (h) are analyzed. While increasing the corrugation height and decreasing the spring ratio, the impact of the swirling effect improves the thermal performance of the system. The maximum thermal performance is obtained when the corrugation height is h = 0.2 and spring ratio y = 1.5. Eventually, correlations for predicting friction factor (f) and Nusselt number (Nu) are developed.

A new mathematical model describing heat transfer during the fermentation process in a rotary drum is proposed. The model includes representations of the kinetic reactions, the temperature of the solid bed, and physical structures within the rotary drum. The model is developed using five ordinary differential equations and was then solved using the Runge-Kutta method embedded in MATLAB software. A reasonable behaviour for the temperature profile to the fermentation process is achieved. The results show that the mass of the solid bed, contact heat transfer coefficient, and the wall temperature has a significant effect on the fermentation process in a rotary drum.

Monolithic catalysts have great industrial application prospects compared to powdered catalysts due to their low pressure drop, the high efficiency of mass and heat transfer, and recyclability. Deposition of active phases on the monolithic carriers dramatically increases the utilization rate and has been attracting continuous attention. In this paper, we reviewed the traditional (impregnation, coating, and spraying) and novel (hydrothermal and electrodeposition) strategies of surface deposition integration, analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both ways, and then prospected the possible directions for future development of integration technologies.

Effective thermal conductivity is an important property of granular materials in engineering applications and industrial processes, including the blending and mixing of powders, sintering of ceramics and refractory metals, and electrochemical interactions in fuel cells and Li-ion batteries. The thermo-mechanical properties of granular materials with macroscopic particle sizes (above 1 mm) have been investigated experimentally and theoretically, but knowledge remains limited for materials consisting of micro/nanosized grains. In this work we study the effective thermal conductivity of micro/nanopowders under varying conditions of mechanical stress and gas pressure via the discrete thermal resistance method. In this proposed method, a unit cell of contact structure is regarded as one thermal resistor. Thermal transport between two contacting particles and through the gas phase (including conduction in the gas phase and heat transfer of solid-gas interfaces) are the main mechanisms. Due to the small size of particles, the gas phase is limited to a small volume and a simplified gas heat transfer model is applied considering the Knudsen number. During loading, changes in the gas volume and the contact area between particles are simulated by the finite element method. The thermal resistance of one contact unit is calculated through the combination of the heat transfer mechanisms. A simplified relationship between effective thermal conductivity and loading pressure can be obtained by integrating the contact units of the compacted powders.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to augment heat transfer rates of traditional rib-elements with minimal pressure drop penalties. Design/methodology/approach The novel geometries in the present research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. All turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer results are presented using computation fluid dynamics with a validated v2f turbulence closure model. Turbulent flow characteristics and heat transfer performances in square channels with improved ribbed structures are numerically analyzed in this research work. Findings Based on the results, it is found that rounded transition cylindrical ribs have a large advantage over the conventional ribs in both enhancing heat transfer and reducing pressure loss penalty. In addition, cylindrical ribs increase the flow impingement at the upstream of the ribs, which will effectively increase the high heat transfer areas. The design of rounded transition cylindrical ribs and grooves will be an effective way to improve heat transfer enhancement and overall thermal performance of internal channels within blade cooling. Originality/value The novel geometries in this research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. The combination of cylindrical ribs and grooves to manipulate the turbulent flow.

Three-dimensional contouring of vane endwalls has proven to be an efficient method for reducing aerodynamic losses or, respectively, endwall heat transfer by active manipulation of the complex vortical flow structures in the vane passage. The present study shows the application of the Ice Formation Method for endwall contouring of a guide vane row with the goal of reducing endwall heat transfer. Endwall contours for the guide vane row of a low pressure turbine are experimentally generated in form of ice contours and evaluated with respect to their heat transfer behavior. A comparison with the flat plate showed that average heat transfer is considerably reduced for the ice-contoured endwalls with reductions up to 42%. The generated endwall contours were also digitized and used in numerical simulations. The latter allowed for a comparison of endwall heat transfer for the novel contours with the heat transfer for a flat, uncontoured endwall. This showed that the new endwall contours also feature decreased average heat transfer compared to the flat endwall with the maximum obtained reduction being 12%.
