Numerical Predictions

The local heat transfer coefficient distribution on a square heat source due to a normally impinging, axisymmetric, confined, and submerged liquid jet was computationally investigated. Numerical predictions were made for nozzle diameters of 3.18 and 6.35 mm at several nozzle-to-heat source spacings, with turbulent jet Reynolds numbers ranging from 8500 to 13,000. The commercial finite-volume code FLUENT was used to solve the thermal and flow fields using the standard high-Reynolds number k–ε turbulence model. The converged solution obtained from the code was refined using a post-processing program that incorporated several near-wall models. The role of four alternative turbulent Prandtl number functions on the predicted heat transfer coefficients was investigated. The predicted heat transfer coefficients were compared with previously obtained experimental measurements. The predicted stagnation and average heat transfer coefficients agree with experiments to within a maximum deviation of 16 and 20 percent, respectively. Reasons for the differences between the predicted and measured heat transfer coefficients are discussed.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Numerical simulation of temperature field of cooled turbine blades is a required element of gas turbine engine design process. The verification is usually performed on the basis of results of test of full-size blade prototype on a gas-dynamic test bench. A method of calorimetric measurement in a molten metal thermostat for verification of a thermal model of cooled blade is proposed in this paper. The method allows obtaining local values of heat flux in each point of blade surface within a single experiment. The error of determination of local heat transfer coefficients using this method does not exceed 8% for blades with radial channels. An important feature of the method is that the heat load remains unchanged during the experiment and the blade outer surface temperature equals zinc melting point. The verification of thermal-hydraulic model of high-pressure turbine blade with cooling allowing asymmetrical heat removal from pressure and suction sides was carried out using the developed method. An analysis of heat transfer coefficients confirmed the high level of heat transfer in the leading edge, whose value is comparable with jet impingement heat transfer. The maximum of the heat transfer coefficients is shifted from the critical point of the leading edge to the pressure side.

This paper examines the applicability of a triple layer of thermochromic liquid crystals (TLCs) for the determination of local heat transfer coefficients using the transient liquid crystal (LC) technique. The experiments were carried out in a narrow impingement channel, typically used for turbine blade cooling applications. Three types of narrow bandwidth LCs (1 °C range) of 35 °C, 38 °C, and 41 °C were individually painted on the target plate of the cooling cavity and the overall paint thickness was accurately determined with an integral coating thickness gauge. The 1D transient heat conduction equation is then implicitly solved for each individual TLC layer on its realistic depth on the painted surface. Local heat transfer coefficients are therefore calculated three times for the same location in the flow improving the measurement accuracy, especially at regions where the LC detection times are too short (stagnation points) or too long (wall-jet regions). The results indicate that if multiple LC layers are used and the paint thickness is not considered, the heat transfer coefficients can be significantly underestimated.

A two-dimensional numerical model is developed to study the effect of the turbulent Prandtl number Prt on momentum and energy transport in a highly variable property flow of supercritical fluids in a vertical round tube. Both regimes of enhanced and deteriorated heat transfer have been investigated. The equations of the Prt leading to the best agreement with the experiments in either regime of heat transfer were specified. The results of this study show that the increase in the Prt causes the heat transfer coefficients to decrease. When the buoyancy force increases, a better agreement with the experimental data is reached if values lower than 0.9 are used for the Prt. A decrease in the Prt values results in an increase in turbulent activities. From the effect that the Prt has on heat transfer coefficients, it may be deduced that the buoyancy effects in the upward flow of a supercritical fluid lead to the decrease in the Prt value and hence to the increase in the heat transfer coefficients. Furthermore, the value of the Prt in the laminar viscous sublayer as expected does not have a significant effect on heat transfer rate. The effect of the turbulence model on the extent to which the Prt influences the rate of heat transfer is also examined. The results obtained are shown to be valid regardless of the turbulence model used.

A two-dimensional model is developed to simultaneously solve the momentum and energy equations and thus predict convection heat transfer to an upward flow of supercritical carbon dioxide in a round tube. The effect of the turbulent Prandtl number, Prt, on heat transfer coefficients has been extensively studied. A number of constant values of Prt, as well as a number of suggested equations accounting for variations of Prt with flow conditions, have been examined. The investigation has been carried out for both regimes of enhanced and deteriorated heat transfer. The results of this study show that the increase of Prt, even in the viscous sublayer, cause the heat transfer coefficients to decrease. The models of Prt leading to best agreement with experiments in either regimes of heat transfer were recognized. From the effect Prt has on heat transfer coefficients, it has been deduced that the buoyancy effects in upward flow of a supercritical fluid causes the Prt to decrease and hence the heat transfer coefficients to increase.

Abstract The paper deals with a study of the effect of regulating elements on local values of heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces with forced air convection. The use of combined methods of heat transfer intensification, i.e. a combination of regulating elements with appropriately shaped heat exchange areas seems to be highly effective. The study focused on the analysis of local values of heat transfer coefficients in indicated cuts, in distances expressed as a ratio x/s for 0; 0.33; 0.66 and 1. As can be seen from our findings, in given conditions the regulating elements can increase the values of local heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces. An optical method of holographic interferometry was used for the experimental research into temperature fields in the vicinity of heat exchange surfaces. The obtained values correspond very well with those of local heat transfer coefficients αx, recorded in a CFD simulation.

AbstractAnticipating the processes and parameters involved for accomplishing a sound metal casting requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying behaviors characterizing a liquid melt solidifying inside its mold. Heat balance represents a major factor in describing the thermal conditions in a casting process and one of its main influences is the heat transfer between the casting and its surroundings. Local heat transfer coefficients describe how well heat can be transferred from one body or material to another. This paper will discuss the estimation of these coefficients in a gravity die casting process with local air gap formation and heat shrinkage induced contact pressure. Both an experimental evaluation and a numerical modeling for a solidification simulation will be performed as two means of investigating the local heat transfer coefficients and their local differences for regions with air gap formation or contact pressure when casting A356 (AlSi7Mg0.3).

Survey of the works on condensation inside smooth horizontal tubes published from 1955 to 2013 has been performed. Theoretical and experimental investigations, as well as more than 25 methods and correlations for heat transfer prediction are considered. It is shown that accuracy of this prediction depends on the accuracy of volumetric vapor content and pressure drop at the interphase. The necessity of new studies concerning both local heat transfer coefficients and film condensation along tube perimeter and length under annular, stratified and intermediate regimes of phase flow was substantiated. These characteristics being defined will allow determining more precisely the boundaries of the flow regimes and the methods of heat transfer prediction.

Cooling Passage

Systematic experiments are conducted to measure heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss characteristics on a square channel (simulating a gas turbine blade cooling passage) with two opposite surfaces roughened by 45 deg parallel ribs. Copper plates fitted with a silicone heater and instrumented with thermocouples are used to measure regionally averaged local heat transfer coefficients. Reynolds numbers studied in the channel range from 30,000 to 400,000. The rib height (e) to hydraulic diameter (D) ratio ranges from 0.1 to 0.18. The rib spacing (p) to height ratio (p/e) ranges from 5 to 10. Results show higher heat transfer coefficients at smaller values of p/e and larger values of e/D, though at the cost of higher friction losses. Results also indicate that the thermal performance of the ribbed channel falls with increasing Reynolds numbers. Correlations predicting Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f¯) as a function of p/e, e/D, and Re are developed. Also developed are correlations for R and G (friction and heat transfer roughness functions, respectively) as a function of the roughness Reynolds number (e+), p/e, and e/D.
