Thermal Conductivities

Generalized theoretical results for heat transfer in laminar pipe flow with power law varying thermal conductivities are presented. The study is motivated by experimental observations that above a threshold shear rate the effective thermal conductivity for disperse two-phase mixtures increases with shear rate. Using a relatively general three parameter power law model for conductivity as a function of shear rate, heat transfer results for short and long pipes as well as with developing thermal profiles were obtained for both the uniform wall heat flux and uniform wall temperature conditions. The results show that significant enhancement in heat transfer coefficient could be obtained from the microconvective effects.

Uniform Wall Heat Flux

The effects of low-density phenomena on the fully developed heat-transfer characteristics for laminar flow in tubes has been studied analytically. Consideration is given to the slip-flow regime wherein the major rarefaction effects are manifested as velocity and temperature jumps at the tube wall. The analysis is carried out for both uniform wall temperature and uniform wall heat flux. In both cases, the slip-flow Nusselt numbers are lower than those for continuum flow and decrease with increasing mean free path. Extension of the results is made to include the effects of shear work at the wall, temperature jump modifications for a moving fluid, and thermal creep.

This paper reports the experimental investigation of local convective heat transfer enhancement, flow friction and thermal performance factor behaviors in the tube fitted with the short helical tapes (SHTs) acting as decaying swirl flow generators. The tapes with three different helical tape angles (? = 90°, 135° and 180°) and three different channel numbers (N = 2, 3 and 4 channels) were tested under the uniform wall heat flux condition. The performance of each tape is compared with the performance of the plain tube subject to the same pumping power. The experimental results show that the heat transfer rates and friction factors of the tube with SHTs are respectively in range of 1.15 to 1.9 and 1.49 to 2.31 times of those in the plain, corresponding to thermal performances between 0.98 and 1.46. The correlations for Nusselt number (Nu) as a function of Reynolds number (Re), Prandtl number (Pr), helical tape angle (?) and the number of channel (N) are also developed.

Two Phase Heat Transfer

Abstract New heat transfer correlations were developed for two-phase heat transfer in a horizontal pipe for different flow patterns. Flow patterns were observed in a transparent circular pipe (2.54 cm I.D. and L/D = 96) using an air/water mixture. Visual identification of the flow patterns was supplemented with photographic data, and the results were plotted on the flow regime map proposed by Taitel and Dukler and agreed quite well with each other. A two-phase heat transfer experimental setup was built for this study and a total of 150 two-phase heat transfer data with different flow patterns were obtained under a uniform wall heat flux boundary condition. For these data, the superficial Reynolds number ranged from 640 to 35,500 for the liquid and from 540 to 21,200 for the gas. Our previously developed robust two-phase heat transfer correlation for a vertical with modified constants predicted the horizontal pipe air-water heat transfer experimental data with good accuracy. Overall the proposed correlations predicted the data with a mean deviation of 1.0% and an rms deviation of 12%.

Flow Effects

First and second order slip flow models in rectangular microchannels heated at constant and uniform wall temperature are studied. The velocity and temperature profiles for hydrodynamically and thermally developed incompressible slip flow regime available in literature are used. The average nondimensional slip velocity and temperature jump are found by using first and second order slip flow models. The average Nusselt number is also derived by using both first and second order slip flow models. The effects of Knudsen number, aspect ratio and second order slip flow model on the heat transfer characteristics of microchannel are explored.

Uniform Wall

The objective of this paper is to study the characteristic of a circular tube with a built-in arc belt on fluid flow and heat transfer in uniform wall temperature flows. Numerical simulations for hydrodynamically laminar flow was direct ran at Re between 600 and 1800. Preliminary results on velocity and temperature statistics for uniform wall temperature show that, arc belt can swirl the pipe fluid, so that the fluid at the center of the tube and the fluid of the boundary layer of the wall can mix fully, and plays the role of enhanced heat transfer, but also significantly increases the resistance of the fluid and makes the resistance coefficient of the enhanced tube greater than smooth tube. The combination property PEC is all above 1.5.
