This paper describes experimental studies of heat transfer due to the oscillations of gas columns that are spontaneously induced in a tube with steep temperature gradients. The tube (∼3 m in length) is closed at both ends and bent into U-shaped form at the midpoint. The temperature distribution along the tube is step-functional and symmetrical with respect to the midpoint. The warm part (closed-end sides) is maintained at room temperature and the cold one is immersed in liquid helium (4.2 K). The heat transported from the warm part to the cold is estimated from the evaporation rate of liquid helium. The heat flux by the oscillations is proportional to the square of the pressure amplitude, and the effective heat conductivity can be several orders of magnitude larger than the molecular heat conductivity of gas. The experimental results are compared with the theory of the second-order heat flux proposed by Rott and are found to be in satisfactory agreement with this.

The article presents some significant experimental data for studying the heat transfer behavior of heat pipe, which will further help the cooling efficiency improvement of the heat pipe cooler. It is well known that the heat pipe owns the extreme large heat conductivity and is often integrated with cooling plates for CPU cooling. The heat pipe uses special heat transfer techniques to obtain extremely large heat conductivity, which are the inside liquid evaporation for heat absorption and the inside microstructural capillarity for condensation. These special techniques yield the instant heat transfer from the heat source to the remote side directly, but the special heat transfer behavior is changed due to the integration with cooling plates. The destroyed heat transfer behavior of the heat pipe causes the cooling efficiency of the heat pipe cooler to be not able to reach a predicted good value. To improve the cooling efficiency of the heat pipe cooler we recover the original heat transfer behavior of the heat pipe integrated with cooling plates. This work first built a CPU simulator in accordance with the ASTM standard for heating the heat pipe, then uses the color schlieren technique to visualize the sequent heat flux nearby the heat pipe and the infrared thermal camera for quantitative temperature measurements synchronously. The result shows that the heat flux first appears at the opposite side from the heat source and there exhibits also the highest temperature. This is different from the heat transfer behavior of the copper pipe. Another very interesting result is that the heat flux of the cooling plate nearest to the heat source is first viewed than the others, which is similar to the integration with the copper pipe.

Preliminary estimates of the thermal signature of ventilation in polar firn are obtained from two-dimensional numerical calculations. The simulations show that spatially varying surface pressure can induce airflow velocities of 10−5m s−1at 1.5 m depth in uniform firn, and higher velocities closer to the surface. The two-dimensional heat-transfer results generally agree with our earlier one-dimensional conclusions that the thermal effects of ventilation tend to decrease the temperature gradient in the top portions of the pack. Field observations of ventilation through temperature measurements are most likely to be observed when the firn temperature at depths on the order of 10 m is close to the air temperature, since steep temperature gradients can mask the thermal effects of ventilation. Preliminary indications are that, as long as surface-pressure amplitude is sufficient to move the air about in the top tens of centimeters in the snow, the resulting temperature profile during ventilation is fairly insensitive to the frequency of the surface-pressure forcing for pressure frequencies in the range 0.1–10.0 Hz.

Abstract Heat is transferred by radiation between two well-separated bodies at temperatures of finite difference in vacuum. At large distances the heat transfer can be described by black body radiation, at shorter distances evanescent modes start to contribute, and at separations comparable to inter-atomic spacing the transition to heat conduction should take place. We report on quantitative measurements of the near-field mediated heat flux between a gold coated near-field scanning thermal microscope tip and a planar gold sample at nanometre distances of 0.2–7 nm. We find an extraordinary large heat flux which is more than five orders of magnitude larger than black body radiation and four orders of magnitude larger than the values predicted by conventional theory of fluctuational electrodynamics. Different theories of phonon tunnelling are not able to describe the observations in a satisfactory way. The findings demand modified or even new models of heat transfer across vacuum gaps at nanometre distances.

Many engineering and industrial applications always seek to find ways to dissipate heat from heated surfaces used in these industries. As it is involved in the cooling of electronic parts and electrical transformers, as well as the design of solar collectors, in addition to being a process of heat exchange between hot surfaces and the fluids in contact with them. Since most electronic devices or their parts are cooled by removing the heat generated inside them by using air as a heat transfer medium and in a free convection way, and the fact that heat transfer by free convection occurs in many fields, so there were many studies that dealt with this topic. The free load is generated by the buoyant force (Bouncy force) As a result of the difference in the density of the fluid adjacent to the heated surface due to the difference in temperatures between the fluid and the surface. The laminar flow along surfaces has been extensively studied analytically [1,2,3,4] In the horizontal, inclined and vertical case, whether by constant heat flux or constant surface temperature, there are also many experimental studies of heat transfer by free convection from horizontal, inclined and vertical surfaces with constant heat flux or constant surface temperature [5,6,7,8]. Some experimental studies have also been conducted on heat transfer by convection from heated surfaces in the form of a disk (ring)The outcome of these studies was to extract an exponential mathematical relationship between the average of Nusselt number and the Kirchhoff number or Rayleigh number and the following formula: (Nu=C(Ra) n It is one of the most suitable formulas for heat transfer by free convection from heated surfaces in all its forms and over a wide range of Rayleigh number . It is noted that not all of these studies dealt with the study of the effect of the cavity ratio on heat transfer by free convection from square-shaped surfaces, which is the form that is more applied in electronic devices. Therefore, the current research means studying the rate of change in the average of Nusselt number, which represents a function of the rate of change in the rate of heat transfer by convection, as well as studying the thermal gradient above the surface, and this was done through using three hollow surfaces in proportions (0.25,0.5,0.75) of the total area.

A method of experimental study of heat transfer processes between industrial constructions during a fire was developed. Types of equipment necessary for the conduction of the experimental studies were determined. A new type of specimen to be used as the one to be studied when conducting experimental studies was developed. Installation sites of thermocouples and heat flux detector on the specimen under study are shown as layout. Installation sites of the specimens under study relative to heat radiation source were substantiated experimentally. Succession of the conduction of the experimental studies of heat transfer processes between industrial constructions during a fire was developed which consists of the following procedures: production of specimens for the studies, measurement and recording on ambient conditions, measuring of temperature and heat flux on the surface of the specimen under study, and filling 55B test fire with water and diesel fuel. It was established that average temperatures and heat flux density values as well as flame geometry should be measured when performing experimental studies.

Using molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical analysis we study heat flow and phase behavior at the interface between high power-density, nanoscale heat sources and an embedding fluid medium. We show that the fluid next to the nanoparticle can be heated well above its boiling point without a phase change. Under increasing nanoparticle temperature, the heat flux saturates, which is in sharp contrast with the case of flat interfaces, where a critical heat flux is observed followed by development of a vapor layer and heat flux drop. These differences in heat transfer are explained by the curvature-induced pressure close to the nanoparticle, which inhibits boiling. We observe similar behavior for water, organic fluid, as well as generic model fluid underscoring generality of the results. We will also discuss the limits of the spatial and temporal localization of extreme temperature excursions and the limits to the applicability of the linear response theory to heat transfer at extremely large heat fluxes.

The profile of an evaporating ethanol meniscus was measured as a function of the evaporative heat flux using interferometry. A measure of the evaporative heat flux was obtained using vapor deposited resistance thermometers. The meniscus profile was found to be stable and a function of the heat flux for the heat flux range of 0 – 1.36w/m of interline. These results were used in an analysis of capillary flow heat transfer in Part II.

A numerical study was undertaken for investigating the heat transfer enhancement in a tube with triangular cross sectioned ribs. The spacing between the ribs were kept constant as a distance of tube diameter, D. Three different rib thicknesses were considered for numerical analyses. Uniform heat flux was applied to the external surface of the tube and air was selected as working fluid. Numerical calculations were performed with FLUENT 6.1.22 code, in the range of Reynolds number 8000–36000. The results obtained from a smooth tube and rib inserted tube were compared with those from the experimental studies in literature in order to validate the numerical method. The variation of Nusselt number, friction factor and overall enhancement ratios for the tube with triangular cross sectioned ribs were presented. Consequently, a maximum gain of 1.34 on overall enhancement ratio is obtained for S/D = 0.75.
