Circular Jets

Two-dimensional arrays of circular jets of air impinging on a heat transfer surface parallel to the jet orifice plate are considered. The air, after impingement, is constrained to exit in a single direction along the channel formed by the surface and the jet plate. The downstream jets are subjected to a crossflow originating from the upstream jets. Experimental and theoretical results obtained for streamwise distributions of jet and crossflow velocities are presented and compared. Measured Nusselt numbers resolved to one streamwise hole spacing are correlated with individual spanwise row jet Reynolds numbers and crossflow-to-jet velocity ratios. Correlations are presented for both inline and staggered hole patterns including effects of geometric parameters: streamwise hole spacing, spanwise hole spacing, and channel height, normalized by hole diameter. The physical mechanisms influencing heat transfer coefficients as a function of flow distribution and geometric parameters are also discussed.

Good Agreement

Heat transfer coefficients were measured for a solution of surfactant drag-reducing additive in the entrance region of a uniformly heated horizontal cylindrical pipe with Reynolds numbers from 25,000 to 140,000 and temperatures from 30to70°C. In the absence of circumferential buoyancy effects, the measured Nusselt numbers were found to be in good agreement with theoretical results for laminar flow. Buoyancy effects, manifested as substantially higher Nusselt numbers, were seen in experiments carried out at high heat flux.

An experimental study has been performed on single-phase heat transfer of de-ionized water over a bank of shrouded micro pin fins 243-μm long with hydraulic diameter of 99.5-μm. Heat transfer coefficients and Nusselt numbers have been obtained over effective heat fluxes ranging from 3.8 to 167 W/cm2 and Reynolds numbers from 14 to 112. The results were used to derive the Nusselt numbers and total thermal resistances. It has been found that endwalls effects are significant at low Reynolds numbers and diminish at higher Reynolds numbers.

Heat transfer in micro and mini-scale ducts and channels is considered. In particular, issues of thermal performance are considered in systems with constant wall temperature at low to moderate Reynolds numbers or small dimensional scales which lead to conditions characteristic of thermally fully developed flows or within the transition region leading to thermally fully developed flows. An analysis of two approaches to representing experimental data is given. One using the traditional Nusselt number and another using the dimensionless mean wall flux. Both approaches offer a number of advantages and disadvantages. In particular, it is shown that while good data can be obtained which agree with predicted heat transfer rates, the same data can be problematic if one desires a Nusselt number. Other issues such as boundary conditions pertaining to measuring thermally developing and fully developed flow Nusselt numbers are also discussed in detail.

Impinging Flow

Heat transfer characteristics were measured for two-dimensional arrays of jets impinging on a surface parallel to the jet orifice plate. The impinging flow was constrained to exit in a single direction along the channel formed by the jet plate and the heat transfer surface. Both mean Nusselt numbers and streamwise Nusselt number profiles are presented as a function of Reynolds number and geometric parameters. The results show that significant periodic variations occur in the streamwise Nusselt number profiles, persisting downstream for at least ten rows of jet holes. Both channel height and hole spacing can have a significant effect on the streamwise profiles, smoothed across the periodic variations. Where significant differences exist, inline hole patterns provide better heat transfer than staggered ones, particularly downstream. These and other effects of the geometric parameters are presented and discussed.

Pin Fins

Short pin fins are often used to increase the heat transfer to the coolant in the trailing edge of a turbine blade. Due primarily to limits of casting technology, it is not possible to manufacture pins of optimum length for heat transfer purposes in the trailing edge region. In many cases the pins are so short that they actually decrease the total heat transfer surface area compared to a plain wall. A heat transfer data base for these short pins is not available in the literature. Heat transfer coefficients on pin and endwall surfaces were measured for several staggered arrays of short pin fins. The measured Nusselt numbers when plotted versus Reynolds numbers were found to fall on a single curve for all surfaces tested. The heat transfer coefficients for the short pin fins (length to diameter ratios of 1/2 and 2) were found to be about a factor of two lower than data from the literature for longer pin arrays (length to diameter ratios of about 8).

Buoyancy Driven Flows

Experiments have been performed using water and FC-77 to investigate heat transfer from an in-line 1 x 10 array of discrete heat sources, flush mounted to protruding substrates located on the bottom wall of a horizontal flow channel. The data encompass flow regimes ranging from mixed convection to laminar and turbulent forced convection. Buoyancy-induced secondary flows enhanced heat transfer at downstream heater locations and provided heat transfer coefficients comparable to upstream values. Upstream heating extended enhancement on the downstream heaters to larger Reynolds numbers. Higher Prandtl number fluids also extended heat transfer enhancement to larger Reynolds numbers, while a reduction in channel height suppressed buoyancy driven flows, thereby reducing enhancement. The protrusions enhanced the transition to turbulent forced convection, causing the critical Reynolds number to decrease with increasing row number. The transition region was characterized by large heater-to-heater variations in the average Nusselt number.

The double notched (DN) plate is commonly used in rotary air preheaters, but relevant investigations are rare. Thus, thermal-hydraulic performances of the DN plate are investigated in this paper. A single-blow, transient technique is refined and then used to measure the overall mean heat transfer coefficients and friction factors. A validated numerical method is also utilized to provide local information. The measured results show that the performance of the DN plate approaches that of the double undulated (DU) plate and lies between that of the cross corrugated (CC) plate and the parallel plate. No swirling flow pattern is identified in the predicted velocity fields. Basically, two types of flow are observed: wavy channel flow and pipe flow. High or low Nusselt numbers, Nu, are obtained at the luff or lee side of undulations and notches, respectively. Nu values increase and Nu distributions become more homogenous with increasing Reynolds numbers, Re. A recommendation is made that the DN plate be operated under moderate Re to achieve homogenous and enhanced heat transfer, given the allowable pressure drop.

In order to improve the thermal efficiency of the microturbines, the compact and high efficient primary surface heat exchangers are mandatory. Recently, the thermal and hydrodynamic performances of a cross-wavy (CW) primary surface recuperator are experimentally investigated. The recuperator tested in the experiment is only 1/3 part of the whole recuperator which is designed for a 100kW microturbine. The experimental results have shown that the comprehensive thermal and hydrodynamic performances of the CW primary surface recuperator are competitive. The overall heat transfer coefficients and the pressure drops of the recuperator are tested in the experiments. And the range of the Reynolds number is from 150 to 400. The corresponding correlations between heat transfer coefficients and Reynolds numbers and the correlations between friction factors and Reynolds numbers are obtained. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been used to separate the coefficients of heat transfer correlations in the hot and cold sides of the partial recuperator by separating the overall heat transfer coefficient without experimentally knowing wall temperatures. In order to improve the hydrodynamic performance, the flow arrangement is also carefully designed. Furthermore, the experimental results have also confirmed that the flow distribution in the recuperator is quite uniform.

Convective Heat Transfer Coefficients

The present paper reports heat transfer measurements on a circular cylinder, electrically heated, and cooled by a slot jet of air. The diameter of the cylinder is equal to the slot height. Temperature measurements in five positions along the circumference of the circular cylinder, allow the evaluation of the convective heat transfer coefficients or Nusselt numbers at several Reynolds numbers. The Nusselt numbers are compared with the corresponding results in uniform flow around a circular cylinder. The experiments have been performed at several distances from the slot jet exit and different Reynolds numbers. Numerical simulations have been carried out with a commercial code.
