The ice formation phenomenon and heat transfer around isothermally cooled cylinders that are lined up in the direction of flow in a crossflow of cold water were examined experimentally. Under the conditions of low Reynolds numbers and low cooling temperatures, the cylinders became linked by an ice layer. The amount of ice formed around the cylinders was much more than that for a single cylinder. A correlation equation was proposed for the amount of linked ice around the cooled cylinders. It was found that the local heat transfer coefficients on the linked ice surface showed an alternating decrease and increase in the flow direction. The mean value of the local Nusselt number showed the same characteristic as that on a flat plate in a turbulent flow. A dimensionless parameter that represents how efficiently the cylinders can work as a thermal energy storage system was introduced.

Experiments were performed in a flat rectangular duct to determine the heat transfer and pressure drop response to periodic, rod-type disturbance elements situated adjacent to one principal wall and oriented transverse to the flow direction. In a portion of the experiments, heat transfer occurred only at the rodded wall, while in the remainder, heat was transferred at both principal walls of the duct. Highly detailed axial distributions of the local heat transfer coefficient were obtained. These distributions revealed the rapid establishment of a periodic (i.e., cyclic) fully developed regime as well as recurring local maxima and minima. Cycle-average, fully developed heat transfer coefficients were evaluated and were found to be much larger than those for a smooth-walled duct. Linear pressure distributions were measured between periodically positioned stations in the fully developed region, and the corresponding friction factors were several times greater than the smooth-duct values. The heat transfer and friction data were very well correlated using parameters that take account of the effective surface roughness associated with the disturbance rods.

In the literature, it is proved that grooved pipe models are thermally more efficient than the smooth pipe model. Different than the previous studies in which the groove dimensions are constant along the pipe, we study the effect of groove radius and the gap between adjacent grooves on the local heat transfer coefficients using computational fluid dynamics software. The grooved section consists of three sub-sections to see the effects of groove dimension in stream-wise flow direction. We vary the radius of circular grooves parametrically in each section to optimize the local groove radius throughout the pipe. We couple the fluid flow (1200<Re<24000) with energy equations, and the grooved sections are set as heated wall at constant temperature of 350 K. The optimal mesh has been selected by performing mesh independence study and finer mesh has been used in heated wall section. The radii of grooves are varied from 2 to 6 mm with an increment of 0.2 mm considering the manufacturability of the pipe, to do so we use the design of experiments (DOE). All DOE tools in ANSYS software are examined and compared with full factorial results. After DOE process, local heat transfer coefficient values of all groove parts are examined by response surface methodology (RSM).

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of rotation on local heat transfer coefficient for the turbulent flow in a short square duct (L/DH = 15) with a pair of opposite rib-roughened walls. The ribs are configured in an in-line arrangement with an attack angle of 90 deg to the main flow. The coolant used was air with the flow direction in the radially outward direction. The Reynolds numbers ranged from 5000 to 25,000; the rib pitch-to-height ratio was 5; and the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio was kept at a value of 0.20. The rotation number range was 0 to 0.5. Local Nusselt number variations along the duct were determined over the trailing and leading surfaces. In addition, local heat transfer measurements on all sides of a typical rib as well as on a typical exposed base surface between two consecutive ribs in a fully developed region were conducted at various rotational speeds. It is shown that the Coriolis acceleration tends to improve the heat transfer due to the presence of strong secondary flow. Centripetal buoyancy is shown to influence the heat transfer response with heat transfer being suppressed on both leading and trailing surfaces as the wall-to-coolant temperature difference is increased with other controlling parameters hold constant. Results are also compared with previous investigations. It was found that the results agree very well with those reported by other works in this field.

Cavity Bottom

Experiments were conducted to determine local heat transfer coefficients on the inside surfaces of a cylindrical cavity that is cooled by a swirling air flow. Temperature-sensitive liquid crystals were used as temperature sensors. Five blowing (cooling) modes were tested: three with swirl numbers of 0.36, 0.84, and 1.73; a fourth with no swirl (axial flow), and a fifth that was similar to the fourth but had the flow direction reversed. Flow visualization and static pressure measurements were performed to improve understanding of the situation. The smoke-wire technique was successfully used to picture the flow patterns. Plots of local Nusselt number along the cavity surfaces were obtained for the five blowing modes and for three different Reynolds numbers. The swirling cases had similar flow fields with higher heat transfer rates near the cavity top and lower rates near the cavity bottom (the opposite of the nonswirling cases). A tornadolike structure on the cavity bottom was observed in the swirling cases. This structure became stronger and more violent as the degree of swirl and the Reynolds number were increased. The Nusselt number curves for the two nonswirling cases were of similar shape, although the flow direction was reversed.

Measurements are made of the local heat transfer from a flat plate to arrays of impinging circular air jets. Fluid from the spent jets is constrained to flow out of the system in one direction. Two different jet-to-jet spacings, 4 and 8 jet diameters, are employed. The parameters that are varied include jet-orifice-plate to impingement-surface spacing and jet Reynolds number. Local heat transfer coefficients vary periodically both in the flow direction and across the span with high values occurring in stagnation regions. Stagnation regions of individual jets as determined by local heat transfer coefficients move further in the downstream direction as the amount of crossflow due to upstream jet air increases. Local heat transfer coefficients are averaged numerically to obtain spanwise and streamwise-spanwise averaged heat transfer coefficients.

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).
