AbstractSaving energy is just as important as generating energy. In this paper, we seek an optimized structure that achieves a certain level of heat transfer rate under a minimum pumping power to drive the fluid stream. Constraints are specified by the flow regime (laminar and turbulent), admissible boundary conditions on the walls (prescribed temperature and constant heat flux), and design standards. The study will help designers with more effective basic tools for the conceptual design of system and in establishing proper operating procedures.

Gaseous Flows

Two-dimensional compressible momentum and energy equations are solved to obtain the heat transfer characteristics of gaseous flows in micro-channels with CHF (constant heat flux) whose value is negative. The combined effect of viscous dissipation and compressibility is also investigated. The numerical methodology is based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The computations are performed for channels with constant heat flux with range from −104 to −102 Wm−2. The channel height ranges from 10 to 100 μm and the aspect ratio of the channel height and length is 200. The stagnation pressure varies from 120 to 500 kPa. The outlet pressure is fixed at the atmosphere. The wall and bulk temperatures in micro-channels are compared with those of the case of positive heat flux and also compared with those of the incompressible flow in a conventional sized channel. In the case of negative heat flux, temperature profiles normalized by heat flux have different trends in the case of positive heat flux, when flow is fast. A gas temperature falls down due to the energy conversion. A correlation for the prediction of the wall temperature of the gaseous flow in the micro-channel is proposed.

Effects Of Temperature

Abstract One important issue in understanding and modeling of turbulent heat transfer is the behavior of fluctuating temperature close to the wall. Common engineering computational approach assumes constant heat flux boundary condition on heated walls. In the present paper constant heat flux boundary condition was assumed and effects of temperature fluctuations are investigated using large eddy simulations (LES) approach. A series of large eddy simulations for two geometries is performed: First, forced convection in channels and second, forced convection over a backward facing step. LES simulation data is statistically analyzed and compared with results of direct numerical simulations (DNS) from the literature which apply three cases of heat flux boundary conditions: 1. ideal heat flux boundary condition, 2. non-ideal heat flux boundary condition, 3. conjugate heat transfer boundary condition. For low Prandtl number flows LES results show that, despite very good agreement for velocities and mean temperature, predictions of temperature fluctuations may have strong deficiencies if simplified boundary conditions are applied.
