The objective of the present study was to investigate the relative contribution of the convective heat transfer in the forearm and hand to 1) the total heat loss during partial immersion in cold water [water temperature (Tw) = 20 degrees C] and 2) the heat gained during partial immersion in warm water (Tw = 38 degrees C). The heat fluxes from the skin of the forearm and finger were continuously monitored during the 3.5-h immersion of the upper limb (forearm and hand) with 23 recalibrated heat flux transducers. The last 30 min of the partial immersion were conducted with an arterial occlusion of the forearm. The heat flux values decreased during the occlusion period at Tw = 20 degrees C and increased at Tw = 38 degrees C for all sites, plateauing only for the finger to the value of the tissue metabolic rate (124.8 +/- 29.0 W/m3 at Tw = 20 degrees C and 287.7 +/- 41.8 W/m3 at Tw = 38 degrees C). The present study shows that, at thermal steady state during partial immersion in water at 20 degrees C, the convective heat transfer between the blood and the forearm tissue is the major heat source of the tissue and accounts for 85% of the total heat loss to the environment. For the finger, however, the heat produced by the tissue metabolism and that liberated by the convective heat transfer are equivalent. At thermal steady state during partial immersion in water at 38 degrees C, the blood has the role of a heat sink, carrying away from the limb the heat gained from the environment and, to a lesser extent (25%), the metabolic and conductive heats. These results suggest that during local cold stress the convective heat transfer by the blood has a greater role than that suggested by previous studies for the forearm but a lesser role for the hand.

An experimental study is carried out on the fundamental aspects of the conjugate, mixed convective heat transfer from two finite width heat sources, which are of negligible thickness, have a uniform heat flux input at the surface, and are located on a flat plate in the horizontal or the vertical orientation. The heat sources are wide in the transverse direction and, therefore, a two-dimensional flow circumstance is simulated. The mixed convection parameter is varied over a fairly wide range to include the buoyancy-dominated and the mixed convection regimes. The circumstances of pure natural convection are also investigated. The convective mechanisms have been studied in detail by measuring the surface temperatures and determining the heat transfer coefficients for the two heated strips, which represent isolated thermal sources. Experimental results indicate that a stronger upstream heat source causes an increase in the surface temperature of a relatively weaker heat source, located downstream, by reducing its convective heat transfer coefficient. The influence of the upstream source is found to be strongly dependent on the surface orientation, especially in the pure natural convection and the buoyancy dominated regimes. The two heat sources are found to be essentially independent of each other, in terms of thermal effects, at a separation distance of more than about three strip widths for both the orientations. The results obtained are relevant to many engineering applications, such as the cooling of electronic systems, positioning of heating elements in furnaces, and safety considerations in enclosure fires.

Forced Convective Heat Transfer

The present study focus on both free and forced convective heat transfer through a nanofluid in two dimensions past stretching vertical plate. This free and forced convective heat transfer in Cu–water Nanofluid past permeable flat vertical semi-infinite plate was due to high conductivity and its occurrence. In this paper magnetic field and also heat source were considered. In graphs the effect on various parameters such as Reynolds number (Re) , solid volume fraction (φ), magnetic field parameter (M), inclination angle of the plate (γ ), heat source parameter (Qh), on linear velocity (U), vertical velocity (V) and temperature (θ) were exhibited. The profile of every governing parameter is displayed for natural as well as forced convection by considering the Ar >> 1 and Ar << 1 respectively. This rate of heat transfer in forced convection is more than equivalent in free convection. So these problems have several applications in engineering and petroleum industries such as electroplating, chemical processing of heavy metals and solar water heaters. Inertial force reducing the heat transfer rate in natural convection but the enhancement of Nu observed in forced convection. The composition of metal particles enhances the heat transfer rate in both convections, which emphasizes the nanofluid significance. Lorentz force is enhancing the heat transfer rate slightly. Heat source obviously increase the rate of heat transfer in both convections. The present paper aims to study the convective high temperature transfer of nanofluids into which viscosity proposed by Einstein and thermal conductivity proposed by Corcione were used.
