This paper describes an investigation of the sensitivity of the heat transfer coefficient under the film to the state of the approach boundary layer for injection through a row of holes on a flat plate. The investigation is done for a range of blowing parameters using a heat-mass transfer analogy. Injection angles of 35 deg and 90 deg are covered. Additionally, for the same injection geometries, the effect of injection in the presence of mild adverse, mild favorable, and strong favorable mainstream pressure gradients is investigated. The results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient under the film is sensitive neither to the condition of the approach boundary layer nor to the presence of a mild adverse pressure gradient, but it is significantly lowered by a favorable pressure gradient, particularly at low blowing parameters.

Experimental measurements of heat transfer (St) are reported for low speed flow over scaled turbine roughness models at three different freestream pressure gradients: adverse, zero (nominally), and favorable. The roughness models were scaled from surface measurements taken on actual, in-service land-based turbine hardware and include samples of fuel deposits, TBC spallation, erosion, and pitting as well as a smooth control surface. All St measurements were made in a developing turbulent boundary layer at the same value of Reynolds number (Rex≅900,000). An integral boundary layer method used to estimate cf for the smooth wall cases allowed the calculation of the Reynolds analogy (2St/cf). Results indicate that for a smooth wall, Reynolds analogy varies appreciably with pressure gradient. Smooth surface heat transfer is considerably less sensitive to pressure gradients than skin friction. For the rough surfaces with adverse pressure gradient, St is less sensitive to roughness than with zero or favorable pressure gradient. Roughness-induced Stanton number increases at zero pressure gradient range from 16–44% (depending on roughness type), while increases with adverse pressure gradient are 7% less on average for the same roughness type. Hot-wire measurements show a corresponding drop in roughness-induced momentum deficit and streamwise turbulent kinetic energy generation in the adverse pressure gradient boundary layer compared with the other pressure gradient conditions. The combined effects of roughness and pressure gradient are different than their individual effects added together. Specifically, for adverse pressure gradient the combined effect on heat transfer is 9% less than that estimated by adding their separate effects. For favorable pressure gradient, the additive estimate is 6% lower than the result with combined effects. Identical measurements on a “simulated” roughness surface composed of cones in an ordered array show a behavior unlike that of the scaled “real” roughness models. St calculations made using a discrete-element roughness model show promising agreement with the experimental data. Predictions and data combine to underline the importance of accounting for pressure gradient and surface roughness effects simultaneously rather than independently for accurate performance calculations in turbines.

The paper reviews the present understanding of the analysis of the heat and mass transfer processes in single-slope solar stills. By using the results of published experiments, it is proposed that the heat and mass transfer phenomena from the basin water to the glass cover are coupled. This coupling makes it possible to derive the dependence of the heat transfer coefficient for condensation on the inclination of the glass cover of the still. The derived relation, i.e., Nucon = 0.738 (Grcon*Prcon*sin β/Ja*)¼ A−1 where A is the aspect ratio, has been demonstrated to be an important expression for predicting the heat transfer coefficient for condensation hcon necessary for a more realistic evaluation of the overall efficiency of single-slope solar still of a given cover angle β.

The inverse problem of using temperature measurements to estimate the moisture content and temperature-dependent moisture diffusivity together with the heat and mass transfer coefficients is analyzed in this paper. In the convective drying practice, usually the mass transfer Biot number is very high and the heat transfer Biot number is very small. This leads to a very small temperature sensitivity coefficient with respect to the mass transfer coefficient when compared to the temperature sensitivity coefficient with respect to the heat transfer coefficient. Under these conditions the relative error of the estimated mass transfer coefficient is high. To overcome this problem, in this paper the mass transfer coefficient is related to the heat transfer coefficient through the analogy between the heat and mass transfer processes in the boundary layer. The resulting parameter estimation problem is then solved by using a hybrid constrained optimization algorithm OPTRAN.

The effects of adverse pressure gradients on the thermal and momentum characteristics of a heated transitional boundary layer were investigated with free-stream turbulence ranging from 0.3 to 0.6%. The acceleration parameter, K=vU¯∞2dU¯∞dx, was kept constant along the test section. Both surface heat transfer and boundary layer measurements were conducted. The boundary layer measurements were conducted with a three-wire probe (two velocity wires and one temperature wire) for two representative cases, K1=−0.51 × 10−6 and K2=−1.05 × 10−6. The surface heat transfer measurements were conducted for K values ranging from −0.045 × 10−6 to −1.44 × 10−6 over five divergent wall angles. The Stanton numbers of the cases with adverse pressure gradients were greater than that of the zero-pressure-gradient turbulent correlation in the low-Reynolds number turbulent flow, and the difference increased as the adverse pressure gradient was increased. The adverse pressure gradient caused earlier transition onset and shorter transition length based on Rex, Reδ*, and Reθ in comparison to zero-pressure-gradient conditions. As expected, there was a reduction in skin friction as the adverse pressure gradient increased. In the U+-Y+ coordinates, the adverse pressure gradients had a significant effect on the mean velocity profiles in the near-wall region for the late-laminar and early transition stations. The mean temperature profile was observed to precede the velocity profile in starting and ending the transition process, opposite to what occurred in favorable pressure gradient cases in previous studies. A curve fit of the turbulent temperature profile in the log-linear region for the K2 case gave a conduction layer thickness of Y+=9.8 and an average Prt=0.71. In addition, the wake region of the turbulent mean temperature profile was significantly suppressed.

The effects of adverse pressure gradients on the thermal and momentum characteristics of a heated transitional boundary layer were investigated with free-stream turbulence ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 percent.

Effect of pressure gradient on heat transfer in turbulent boundary layer is constantly investigated during creation and improvement of heat exchange equipment for energy, aerospace, chemical and biological systems. The paper deals with problem of steady flow and heat  transfer in turbulent boundary layer with variable pressure in longitudinal direction. The mathematical model is presented and the analytical solution of heat transfer in the turbulent boundary layer problem at positive and negative pressure gradients is given. Dependences for temperature profiles and coefficient of heat transfer on flow parameters were obtained.  At negative longitudinal pressure gradient (flow acceleration) heat transfer coefficient can both increase and decrease. At beginning of acceleration zone, when laminarization effects are negligible, heat transfer coefficient increases. Then, as the flow laminarization increases, heat transfer coefficient decreases. This is caused by flow of turbulent energy transfers to accelerating flow. In case of positive longitudinal pressure gradient, temperature profile gradient near wall decreases. It is because of decreasing velocity gradient before zone of possible boundary layer separation.

Purpose of research. is to investigate the degree of augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of a heat transfer medium in contact with a "spot" of liquid on the surface of the vortex blade when it is bombarded with dispersed contaminants in a vortex heat exchanger in order to identify a pattern that allows obtaining design values of the heat transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium that have the best agreement with the experimental values provided in previously published articles [4, 6, 7].Methods. A complex analysis of the degree of augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium on the surface of the vortex blade in a vortex heat exchanger based on the known theoretical positions and equations of heat and mass transfer processes.Results. The dependence of the augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium in contact with the "spot" of liquid on the surface of the vortex blade when it is bombarded with dispersed contaminants was obtained, which allows obtaining the best agreement of the design and experimental values of the heat transfer coefficient in the vortex heat exchanger of a gas pressure regulating and metering station.Conclusion. The values of the heat transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium calculated using the obtained dependence of the augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium have a satisfactory convergence with the experimental data, which allows us to use this dependence in engineering calculations of the design parameters of the vortex heat exchanger used as a heat exchanger for the heating system of the working area of the gas pressure regulating and metering station. This technical solution allows not only saving natural gas as a source of heat generation, but also reducing the negative impact on the environment, since there is no need to burn natural gas. In this case, the production of thermal energy is carried out due to a regulated pressure drop of natural gas coming from the main line to consumers.

Results are presented of an experimental investigation into the influence of mainstream acceleration on the heat transfer coefficient downstream of injection through a row of 35° holes in a flat plate. A mass transfer analogue technique was used, with two uniform acceleration parameters, K (=ν(du∞/dx)/u∞2), of 1.9 × 10−6 and 5.0 × 10−6 in addition to the zero acceleration base-line case. Two injectants, air and carbon dioxide, were employed to give coolant to mainstream density ratios of 1.0 and 1.52 respectively. The blowing rate varied from 0.5 to 2.0. The heat transfer coefficient beneath the film reduced progressively as the acceleration increased, with maximum reductions from the zero acceleration datum case of about 27%. In the presence of acceleration, the heat transfer coefficient at a given blowing rate was dependent on the density ratio, an increase in the density ratio leading to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient. An empirical correlation of the data over most of the range of densities and blowing rates of the experiments has been developed.

The injection of film cooling can have a strong impact on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) between the overflowing freestream gas and the cooled surface. This study investigated the influence of approach flow characteristics, including the boundary layer thickness and character (laminar and turbulent), as well as the approach flow Reynolds number, on the HTC. The influence of these parameters was previously unreported in the open film cooling literature. The figure of merit for this study was the HTC augmentation, that is the ratio of heat transfer coefficients for a cooled vs. uncooled surface. For this work, a direct measurement of the heat transfer coefficient was made, using a heated foil surface which provided a known wall heat flux. Generally for this type of measurement, a flux foil is placed downstream of the coolant hole. However, for this experimental program a heat flux foil was also placed upstream of the film cooling holes, in order to generate an upstream thermal boundary layer which would be more representative of actual engine conditions. Such a configuration has rarely been seen in published studies. An open-literature shaped-hole design was used, known as the 7-7-7 hole, in order to compare with existing results in the literature. A variety of blowing conditions were tested from M = 0.5–3.0. Two elevated density ratios of DR = 1.20 and DR = 1.80 were used. High-resolution IR thermography was used for these measurements, providing a highly-accurate and spatially-resolved measurement of HTC augmentation. The results indicated that turbulent boundary layer thickness had a modest effect on HTC augmentation, whereas a very high level of augmentation was observed for a laminar approach boundary layer. The presence of upstream heating greatly increased the HTC augmentation in the near-hole region, although these effects died out by 10–15 diameters from the holes.
