Simple Numerical Model

An experimental study has been conducted to reveal the relevant heat transfer mechanisms which exist within an infrared reflow oven. Simulated card assemblies are used and their transient thermal responses, induced by combined radiative and convective heating, are measured. A simple numerical model is developed with which relevant heat transfer mechanisms are identified and quantified. The study shows that radiative and mixed convective heat transfer processes induce a variety of system thermal responses. Model predictions, which incorporate measured forced convection heat transfer coefficients and accurate descriptions of surface-to-surface radiative exchange, are in excellent agreement with experimental data for cases where the thermally induced buoyancy forces within the oven air are relatively small. The results of the experimental and analytical study provide guidelines for the development of more sophisticated models of the infrared reflow process.

This paper presents results of an experimental investigation of convective heat transfer in liquids placed between two horizontal plates and heated from below. The liquids used were water, silicone oils of 1.5, 50, and 1000 centistoke kinematic viscosities, and mercury. The experiments covered a range of Rayleigh numbers between 1.51(10)5 and 6.76(10)8. and Prandtl numbers between 0.02 and 8750. Tests were made in cylindrical containers having copper tops and bottoms and insulating walls. For water and silicone oils the container was 5 in. in diam and 2 in. high. For mercury, two containers were used, both 5.28 in. in diameter, but one 1.39 in. high and another 2.62 in. high. In all cases the bottom plates were heated by electric heaters. The top plates were air-cooled for the water and silicone-oil experiments and water-cooled for the mercury tests. To prevent amalgamation, the copper plates of the mercury container were chromium plated. Surface temperatures were measured by thermocouples embedded in the plates. The test results indicate that the heat-transfer coefficients for all liquids investigated may be determined from the relationship Nu=0.069Ra13Pr0.074 In this equation the Nusselt and Rayleigh numbers are based on the distance between the copper plates. The results of this experiment are in reasonable agreement with the data reported by others who used larger containers and different fluids.

An experimental study of forced convection heat transfer is reported. Direct air cooling of an electronics packaging system is modeled by a channel flow, with an array of uniformly sized and spaced elements attached to one channel wall. The presence of a single or complete row of longitudinally finned heat sinks creates a modified flow pattern. Convective heat transfer rates at downstream positions are measured and compared to that of a plain array (no heat sinks). Heat transfer rates are described in terms of adiabatic heat transfer coefficients and thermal wake functions. Empirical correlations are presented for both variations in Reynolds number (5000 < Re < 20,000) and heat sink geometry. It is found that the presence of a heat sink can both enhance and degrade the heat transfer coefficient at downstream locations, depending on the relative position.

Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of the forced convective heat transfer of FC-72 in vertical tubes at various velocities, inlet temperatures, and tube sizes. Exponentially escalating heat inputs were supplied to the small tubes with inner diameters of 1, 1.8, and 2.8 mm and effective heated lengths between 30.1 and 50.2 mm. The exponential periods of heat input range from 6.4 to 15.5 s. The experimental data suggest that the convective heat transfer coefficients increase with an increase in flow velocity and µ/µw (refers to the viscosity evaluated at the bulk liquid temperature over the liquid viscosity estimated at the tube inner surface temperature). When tube diameter and the ratio of effective heated length to inner diameter decrease, the convective heat transfer coefficients increase as well. The experimental data were nondimensionalized to explore the effect of Reynolds number (Re) on forced convection heat transfer coefficient. It was found that the Nusselt numbers (Nu) are influenced by the Re for d = 2.8 mm in the same pattern as the conventional correlations. However, the dependences of Nu on Re for d = 1 and 1.8 mm show different trends. It means that the conventional heat transfer correlations are inadequate to predict the forced convective heat transfer in minichannels. The experimental data for tubes with diameters of 1, 1.8, and 2.8 mm were well correlated separately. And, the data agree with the proposed correlations within ±15%.

External Cooling

External cooling of a light water reactor vessel by flooding of the concrete cavity with subcooled water is one of several management strategies currently being considered for accidents in which significant relocation of core material is predicted to occur. At present, uncertainty exists with respect to natural convection heat transfer coefficients between the pool of molten core material and the reactor vessel wall. In the present work, experiments were conducted to examine natural convection heat transfer in internally heated partially filled spherical pools with external cooling. In the experiments, Freon-113 was contained in a Pyrex bell jar, which was cooled externally with subcooled water. The pool was heated using a 750 W magnetron taken from a conventional microwave. The pool had a nearly adiabatic free surface. The vessel wall temperature was not uniform and varied from the stagnation point to the free surface. A series of chromel–alumel thermocouples was used to measure temperatures in both steady-state and transient conditions. Each thermocouple was placed in a specific vertical and radial location in order to determine the temperature distribution throughout the pool and along the inner and outer walls of the vessel. In the experiments, pool depth and radius were varied parametrically. Both local and averages heat transfer coefficients based on pool maximum temperature were obtained. Rayleigh numbers based on pool height were varied from 2 × 1010 to 1.1 × 1014. Correlations for the local heat transfer coefficient dependence on pool angle and for the dependence of average Nusselt number on Rayleigh number and pool depth have been developed.

Convection heat transfer of CO2 at supercritical pressures in a vertical mini tube with a diameter of 0.948 mm was investigated experimentally and numerically. The local heat transfer coefficients, bulk fluid temperatures and wall temperatures were measured and presented. The effects of inlet fluid temperature, fluid pressure, mass flow rate, heat flux and wall thickness on the convection heat transfer in the mini tube were investigated. The experimental results were compared with calculated results using well-known correlations and numerical simulations. The results showed that the variable thermophysical properties of supercritical CO2 significantly influenced the convection heat transfer in the vertical mini tube and that for the studied conditions the influence of the wall thickness on the convection heat transfer in the mini tube was not great. For bulk fluid temperatures higher than the pseudo-critical temperature, the simulation results and the correlation results for the convection heat transfer coefficients in the mini tube corresponded well to the experimentally measured results.

Experimental average heat-transfer coefficients for free-convection cooling of arrays of isothermal fins on horizontal surfaces over a wider range of spacings than previously available are reported. A simplified correlation is presented and a previously available correlation is questioned. An optimum arrangement for maximum heat transfer and a preliminary design method are suggested, including weight considerations.
