Cooling Passage

Detailed measurements of the heat transfer coefficient (htc) distributions on the internal surfaces of a novel gas turbine blade cooling configuration were carried out using a transient liquid crystal technique. The cooling geometry, in which a series of racetrack passages are connected to a central plenum, provides high heat transfer coefficients in regions of the blade in good thermal contact with the outer blade surface. The Reynolds number changes along its length because of the ejection of fluid through a series of 19 transfer holes in a staggered arrangement, which are used to connect ceramic cores during the casting process. Heat transfer coefficient distributions on these holes surface are particularly important in the prediction of blade life, as are heat transfer coefficients within the hole. The results at passage inlet Reynolds numbers of 21,667, 45,596, and 69,959 are presented along with in-hole htc distributions at Rehole=5930, 12,479, 19,147; and suction ratios of 0.98, 1.31, 2.08, and 18.67, respectively. All values are engine representative. Characteristic regions of high heat transfer downstream of the transfer holes were observed with enhancement of up to 92% over the Dittus–Boelter level. Within the transfer holes, the average htc level was strongly affected by the cross-flow at the hole entrance. htc levels were low in these short (l/d=1.5) holes fed from regions of developed boundary layer.

Cooling Passage

In certain regions of turbine aerofoils, cooling system designers need to cool the blades with convection systems that provide high heat transfer coefficients. The present research has investigated a circular cooling passage with tangential injection suitable for a blade leading edge. The heat transfer coefficients are measured using the conventional transient heat transfer, liquid crystal technique. The results are compared to the data from steady state experiments performed by Hedlund et al. [1]. The cooling system performance is compared in detail to average data from earlier tangential injection experiments and to local heat transfer coefficient expected from a normal impingement system. The vortex flow field was also studied by numerical prediction and near-wall velocity measurements. The investigation of the flow structure has led to understanding of flow mechanisms responsible for the high heat transfer coefficient. The vortex flow field was also investigated using computational fluid dynamics and with hot wire anemometry. The latter near wall measurements were combined with the law of the wall and Colburn analogy to validate the flow and heat transfer measurements.

Detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions have been obtained for narrow diverging channels with and without enhancement features. The cooling configurations considered include rib turbulators and concavities (or dimples) on the main heat transfer surfaces. All of the measurements are presented at a representative Reynolds number of 28,000. Pressure drop measurements for the overall channel are also presented to evaluate the heat transfer enhancement geometry with respect to the pumping power requirements. The test models were studied for wall heat transfer coefficient measurements using the transient liquid crystal technique. The model wall inner surfaces were sprayed with thermochromic liquid crystals and a transient test was used to obtain the local heat transfer coefficients from the measured color change. An analysis of the results shows that the choice of designs is limited by the available pressure drop, even if the design provides significantly higher heat transfer coefficients. Dimpled surfaces provide appreciably high heat transfer coefficients and a reasonable pressure drop, whereas ribbed ducts provide significantly higher heat transfer coefficients and a higher overall pressure drop.

High Heat Transfer

Detailed measurements of local heat transfer coefficients are presented for air injection through a row of holes into a crossflow. Pitch-to-diameter ratios of 2,4, and 6 are realized and the momentum flux ratio is varied in the range from 0.25 to 4.0. The injection angle of the jets is fixed at 90°. The experimental technique developed uses an Infrared Camera to measure the temperature distribution on the constant heat flux test surface. This measurement technique allows detailed spatial resolution of the heat transfer and gives information about the three-dimensional mixing process of the jets with the mainstream. The experimental results indicate a large influence of the hole spacing to diameter ratio, (s/d), on the heat transfer coefficient. With s/d = 2.0, the spanwise heat transfer coefficients in the vicinity of the injection holes are noticed to be highly uniform. For momentum flux ratios, J, greater than 1, two regions of high heat transfer coefficient exist. The first region occurs in the vicinity of the injection holes. The second region observed some distance downstream is due to the reattachment of the jets to the surface.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

AbstractInvestigations of flow boiling in highly viscous fluids show that heat transfer mechanisms in such fluids are different from those in fluids of low viscosity like refrigerants or water. To gain a better understanding, a modified standard apparatus was developed; it was specifically designed for fluids of high viscosity up to 1000 Pa∙s and enables heat transfer measurements with a single horizontal test tube over a wide range of heat fluxes. Here, we present measurements of the heat transfer coefficient at pool boiling conditions in highly viscous binary mixtures of three different polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and n-pentane, which is the volatile component in the mixture. Systematic measurements were carried out to investigate pool boiling in mixtures with a focus on the temperature, the viscosity of the non-volatile component and the fraction of the volatile component on the heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, copper test tubes with polished and sanded surfaces were used to evaluate the influence of the surface structure on the heat transfer coefficient. The results show that viscosity and composition of the mixture have the strongest effect on the heat transfer coefficient in highly viscous mixtures, whereby the viscosity of the mixture depends on the base viscosity of the used PDMS, on the concentration of n-pentane in the mixture, and on the temperature. For nucleate boiling, the influence of the surface structure of the test tube is less pronounced than observed in boiling experiments with pure fluids of low viscosity, but the relative enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is still significant. In particular for mixtures with high concentrations of the volatile component and at high pool temperature, heat transfer coefficients increase with heat flux until they reach a maximum. At further increased heat fluxes the heat transfer coefficients decrease again. Observed temperature differences between heating surface and pool are much larger than for boiling fluids with low viscosity. Temperature differences up to 137 K (for a mixture containing 5% n-pentane by mass at a heat flux of 13.6 kW/m2) were measured.

High Heat Transfer Coefficient

Flow boiling in microchannels offers many advantages such as high heat transfer coefficient, higher surface area to volume ratio, low coolant inventory, uniform temperature control and compact design. The application of these flow boiling systems has been severely limited due to early critical heat flux (CHF) and flow instability. Recently, a number of studies have focused on variable flow cross-sectional area to augment the thermal performance of microchannels. In a previous work, the open microchannel with manifold (OMM) configuration was experimentally investigated to provide high heat transfer coefficient coupled with high CHF and low pressure drop. In the current work, high speed images of plain surface using tapered manifold are obtained to gain an insight into the nucleating bubble behavior. The mechanism of bubble nucleation, growth and departure are described through high speed images. Formation of dry spots for both tapered and uniform manifold geometry is also discussed.

Pin Fins

Pin fins are normally used for cooling the trailing edge region of a turbine, where their aspect ratio (height H/diameter D) is characteristically low. In small turbine vanes and blades, however, pin fins may also be located in the middle region of the airfoil. In this case, the aspect ratio can be quite large, usually obtaining values greater than 4. Heat transfer tests, which are conducted under atmospheric conditions for the cooling design of turbine vanes and blades, may overestimate the heat transfer coefficient of the pin-finned flow channel for such long pin fins. The fin efficiency of a long pin fin is almost unity in a low heat transfer situation as it would be encountered under atmospheric conditions, but can be considerably lower under high heat transfer conditions and for pin fins made of low thermal conductivity material. A series of tests with corresponding heat transfer models has been conducted in order to clarify the heat transfer characteristics of the long pin-finned flow channel. It is assumed that heat transfer coefficients can be predicted by the linear combination of two heat transfer equations, which were separately developed for the pin fin surface and for tubes in crossflow. To confirm the suggested combined equations, experiments have been carried out, in which the aspect ratio and the thermal conductivity of the pin were the test parameters. To maintain a high heat transfer coefficient for a long pin fin under high-pressure conditions, the heat transfer was augmented by adding a turbulence promoter on the pin-finned endwall surface. A corresponding equation that describes this situation has been developed. The predicted and measured values showed good agreement. In this paper, a comprehensive study on the heat transfer of a long pin-fin array will be presented.

R 134A

The evaporation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops of R-410A and R-134a flowing through a horizontal-aluminium rectangular multiport mini-channel having a hydraulic diameter of 3.48 mm are experimentally investigated. The test runs are done at refrigerant mass fluxes ranging between 200 and 400 kg/m2s. The heat fluxes are between 5 and 14.25 kW/m2, and refrigerant saturation temperatures are between 10 and 30 °C. The effects of the refrigerant vapour quality, mass flux, saturation temperature and imposed heat flux on the measured heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are investigated. The experimental data show that in the same conditions, the heat transfer coefficients of R-410A are about 20–50% higher than those of R-134a, whereas the pressure drops of R-410A are around 50–100% lower than those of R-134a. The new correlations for the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-410A and R-134a in a multiport mini-channel are proposed for practical applications.

The Heat Balance

An approximate method for calculation of the hourly output of a solar still over a 24-hour cycle has been studied. The hourly performance of a solar still is predicted given the values of the insolation, ambient temperature, wind heat-transfer coefficient, water depth, and the heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides. The proposed method does not require graphical constructions and does not assume constant heat-transfer coefficients as in the previous methods. The possibility of using the values of the heat-transfer coefficients for the preceding time interval in the heat balance equations is examined. In fact, two variants of the basic method of calculation are examined. The hourly rate of evaporation is obtained. The results are compared to those obtained by numerical solution of the complete set of heat balance equations. The errors from the approximate method in prediction of the 24-hour output are within ±1.5 percent of the values from the numerical solution using the heat balance equations. The range of variables covered is 5 to 15 cms in water depth, 0 to 3 W/m2K in a heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides, and 5 to 40 W/m2K in a wind heat-transfer coefficient.
