This paper describes the oscillation effect of impingement surface on two-dimensional impingement heat transfer with confined wall. The local temperature distribution on an impingement surface was measured using a thermosensitive liquid crystal sheet and an image processor. Experiments were conducted by using air as a working fluid. Experimental conditions were as follows: Reynolds number Re=1000–10,000, dimensionless distance between nozzle and impingement surface h∕B=1.0–4.0, frequency f=0–100Hz, and amplitudes a=0.5mm and 1.0mm. The local Nusselt number was improved for the comparatively low Reynolds number and low frequency and was depressed for high frequency. In the case of heat transfer enhancement, vortices on the impingement surface were renewed frequently, and on the other hand, in the case of heat transfer depression, thermal boundary layer thickness increased in appearance by the vibration of the impingement surface.

Numerical analyses were performed to determine the oscillation effect of an impingement surface on the impingement heat transfer and flow with a confined wall. As a moving boundary problem, two-dimensional governing equations were solved for the Reynolds numbers Re=200 and 500, the Prandtl number Pr=0.71, the dimensionless space between the nozzle and impingement surface H=1.0, and the Strouhal number Sf=0–1.0. Oscillation induced both the enhancement and depression of the local heat transfer. The local heat transfer was improved at a comparatively low frequency due to the flow fluctuation. On the other hand, at a high frequency, it was depressed due to the flow in an upper direction near the impingement surface. The oscillation effect spatially appeared downstream after the impingement.

Impingement heat transfer from rib roughened surface within two-dimensional arrays of circular jet has been investigated experimentally. After the jet impinges on the rib roughened surface parallel to the jet plate, it is constrained to exit in a single direction along the channel formed by the jet plate and the rib roughened surface. An initial crossflow is present which approaches the arrays through an upstream extension of the channel. The configurations considered are intended to simulate the impingement cooling midchord region of the gas turbine aerofoils in case where an initial crossflow is also present. The study covered four different relative positions of the jet hole to the ribs: jet hole before the rib (−p/4), jet hole on the rib, jet hole behind the rib (+p/4) and jet hole between the ribs (midst,+p/2). The tests were performed for Reynolds number Re = 8000 and 15000, and the nondimensional jet-to-surface spacing z/d = 1.4, 2.0 and 3.0. The test results show that the impingement heat transfer from the rib roughened surface can be considerably improved by adequately arranging the relative position of the jet hole to the ribs.

In the present investigation, problem of heat transfer has been studied during peristaltic motion of a viscous incompressible fluid for two-dimensional nonuniform channel with permeable walls under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. Expressions for pressure, friction force, and temperature are obtained. The effects of different parameters on pressure, friction force, and temperature have been discussed through graphs.

This paper aims to study the convective heat transfer behavior of aqueous suspensions of nanoparticles flowing through a horizontal tube heated under constant heat flux condition. Consideration is given to the effects of particle concentration and Reynolds number on heat transfer enhancement and the possibility of nanofluids as the working fluid in various heat exchangers. It is found that (i) significant enhancement of heat transfer performance due to suspension of nanoparticles in the circular tube flow is observed in comparison with pure water as the working fluid, (ii) enhancement is intensified with an increase in the Reynolds number and the nanoparticles concentration, and (iii) substantial amplification of heat transfer performance is not attributed purely to the enhancement of thermal conductivity due to suspension of nanoparticles.

Two-dimensional numerical computations have been performed in order to investigate the development characteristics of flow and thermal field in a flow between parallel plates swept by a visco-elastic fluid. In the present study, the effect of the cavity number in the domain and of Reynolds number was focused on when the geometric parameters were set constant. From the results, it is found that the flow penetration into the cavities effectively causes the heat transfer augmentation in the cavities in any cavity region compared with that of water case. It is also found that the development of thermal field in cases of the present visco-elastic fluid is quicker compared with that of water cases. The present heat transfer augmentation technique using Barus effect of a visco-elastic fluid is effective in the range of low Reynolds number.

A separated boundary-layer flow at the rear of a bump is considered. Two-dimensional equilibrium stationary states of the Navier–Stokes equations are determined using a nonlinear continuation procedure varying the bump height as well as the Reynolds number. A global instability analysis of the steady states is performed by computing two-dimensional temporal modes. The onset of instability is shown to be characterized by a family of modes with localized structures around the reattachment point becoming almost simultaneously unstable. The optimal perturbation analysis, by projecting the initial disturbance on the set of temporal eigenmodes, reveals that the non-normal modes are able to describe localized initial perturbations associated with the large transient energy growth. At larger time a global low-frequency oscillation is found, accompanied by a periodic regeneration of the flow perturbation inside the bubble, as the consequence of non-normal cancellation of modes. The initial condition provided by the optimal perturbation analysis is applied to Navier–Stokes time integration and is shown to trigger the nonlinear ‘flapping’ typical of separation bubbles. It is possible to follow the stationary equilibrium state on increasing the Reynolds number far beyond instability, ruling out for the present flow case the hypothesis of some authors that topological flow changes are responsible for the ‘flapping’.

Heat exchangers are usually designed in such a way that they do not operate in the transition region. This is usually due to a lack of information in this region. However, due to design constraints, energy efficiency requirements or change of operating conditions, heat exchangers are often forced to operate in this region. It is also well known that entrance disturbances influence where transition occurs. The purpose of this paper is to present experimental heat transfer and pressure drop data in the transition region for fully developed and developing flows inside smooth tubes using water as the working fluid. The use of different inlet disturbances were used to investigate its effect on transition. A tube-in-tube heat exchanger was used to perform the experiments, which ranged in Reynolds numbers from 1 000 to 20 000, with Prandtl numbers being between 4 and 6 while Grashof numbers were in the order of 105. Results showed that the type of inlet disturbance could delay transition to a Reynolds number as high as 7 000, while other inlets expedited it, confirming results of others. For heat transfer, though, it was found that transition was independent of the inlet disturbance and all commenced at the same Reynolds number, 2 000–3 000, which was attributed to secondary flow effects.

Abstract This paper presents a computational study of mixed convection cooling of four in-line electronic chips by alumina-deionized (DI) water nanofluid. The chips are flush-mounted in the substrate of one wall of a vertical rectangular channel. The working fluid enters from the bottom with uniform velocity and temperature and exits from the top after becoming fully developed. The nanofluid properties are obtained from the past experimental studies. The nanofluid performance is estimated by computing the enhancement factor which is the ratio of chips averaged heat transfer coefficient in nanofluid to that in base fluid. An exhaustive parametric study is performed to evaluate the dependence of nanoparticle volume fraction, diameter of Al2O3 nanoparticles in the range of 13–87.5 nm, Reynolds number, inlet velocity, chip heat flux, and mass flowrate on enhancement in heat transfer coefficient. It is found that nanofluids with smaller particle diameters have higher enhancement factors. It is also observed that enhancement factors are higher when the nanofluid Reynolds number is kept equal to that of the base fluid as compared with the cases of equal inlet velocities and equal mass flowrates. The linear variation in mean pressure along the channel is observed and is higher for smaller nanoparticle diameters.

Abstract Using two-dimensional numerical simulations of the momentum, mass, and energy conservation equations, we investigate the enhancement of heat transfer in a rectangular micro-fluidic channel. The fluid inside the channel is assumed to be stationary initially and actuated by the motion imparted by mechanical stirrers, which are attached to the bottom of the channel. Based on the direction of the oscillation of the stirrers, the boundary conditions can be classified as either no-slip (when the oscillation is perpendicular to the length of the channel) or periodic (when the oscillation is along the length of the channel). The heat transfer enhancement due to the motion of the stirrers (with respect to the stationary stirrer situation) is analyzed in terms of the Reynolds number (ranging from 0.7 to 1000) and the Peclet number (ranging from 10 to 100). We find that the heat transfer first increases and then decreases with an increase in the Reynolds number for any given Peclet number. The heat transferred is maximum at a Reynolds number of 20 for the no-slip case and at a Reynolds number of 40 for the periodic case. For a given Peclet and Reynolds number, the heat flux for the periodic case is always larger than the no-slip case. We explain the reason for these trends using time-averaged flow velocity profiles induced by the oscillation of the mechanical stirrers.
