The Heat Transfer Coefficient

A study of single- and two-component, two-phase heat transfer mechanisms for vertical flow inside of tubes and over rod bundles with blockages has been made. Existing heat transfer data for air–water flow in tubes with a liquid Reynolds number range of 2000 to 150,000 and void fractions up to 0.40 have been correlated as a function of αGr/Re2. The correlation has also been found to compare well with limited high Prandtl number data obtained with liquids other than water and for flow over rod bundles when an empirical constant is modified. Correlations have also been developed for the heat transfer coefficient in the vicinity of flow blockages in rod bundles. The heat transfer data have been obtained on a four rod bundle with sleeve-type blockages for a Reynolds number range of 230 to 6900 and void fractions up to 0.15. Significant enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient has been observed downstream of the blockages.

The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are measured for laminar and turbulent incompressible flow over an in-line cylinder array (eight copper tubes) between two parallel plates. Data are given using two different aspect ratios for the intermediate range of the Reynolds number between 220 to 2800. A criterion is defined for flow transition from laminar to turbulent. The pressure and heat transfer data are compared to numerically computed data obtained for laminar flow and the results exhibit reasonably good agreement.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The different turbulence models are adopted to simulate NASA-MarkII high pressure air-cooled gas turbine. The experimental work condition is Run 5411. The paper researches that the effect of different turbulence models for the flow and heat transfer characteristics of turbine. The turbulence models include: the laminar turbulence model, high Reynolds number k-ε turbulence model, low Reynolds number turbulence model (k-ω standard format, k-ω-SST and k-ω-SST-γ-θ) and B-L algebra turbulence model which is adopted by the compiled code. The results show that the different turbulence models can give good flow characteristics results of turbine, but the heat transfer characteristics results are different. Comparing to the experimental results, k-ω-SST-θ-γ turbulence model results are more accurate and can simulate accurately the flow and heat transfer characteristics of turbine with transition flow characteristics. But k-ω-SST-γ-θ turbulence model overestimates the turbulence kinetic energy of blade local region and makes the heat transfer coefficient higher. It causes that local region temperature is higher. The results of B-L algebra turbulence model show that the results of B-L model are accurate besides it has 4% temperature error in the transition region. As to the other turbulence models, the results show that all turbulence models can simulate the temperature distribution on the blade pressure surface except the laminar turbulence model underestimates the heat transfer coefficient of turbulence flow region. On the blade suction surface with transition flow characteristics, high Reynolds number k-ε turbulence model overestimates the heat transfer coefficient and causes the blade surface temperature is high about 90K than the experimental result. Low Reynolds number k-ω standard format and k-ω-SST turbulence models also overestimate the blade surface temperature value. So it can draw a conclusion that the unreasonable choice of turbulence models can cause biggish errors for conjugate heat transfer problem of turbine. The combination of k-ω-SST-γ-θ model and B-L algebra model can get more accurate turbine thermal environment results. In addition, in order to obtain the affect of different turbulence models for gas turbine conjugate heat transfer problem. The different turbulence models are adopted to simulate the different computation mesh domains (First case and Second case). As to each cooling passages, the first case gives the wall heat transfer coefficient of each cooling passages and the second case considers the conjugate heat transfer course between the cooling passages and blade. It can draw a conclusion that the application of heat transfer coefficient on the wall of each cooling passages avoids the accumulative error. So, for the turbine vane geometry models with complex cooling passages or holes, the choice of turbulence models and the analysis of different mesh domains are important. At last, different turbulence characteristic boundary conditions of turbine inner-cooling passages are given and K-ω-SST-γ-θ turbulence model is adopted in order to obtain the effect of turbulence characteristic boundary conditions for the conjugate heat transfer computation results. The results show that the turbulence characteristic boundary conditions of turbine inner-cooling passages have a great effect on the conjugate heat transfer results of high pressure gas turbine.

Flow Regime Maps

The present study is aimed at evaluating the ability of conventional “macro-pipe” correlations and regime transitions to predict the two-phase thermofluid characteristics of mini-channel cold plates. Use is made of the Taitel-Dukler flow regime maps, seven classical heat transfer coefficient correlations and two dryout predictions. The vast majority of the mini-channel two-phase heat-transfer data, taken from the literature, is predicted to fall in the annular regime, in agreement with the reported observations. A characteristic heat transfer coefficient locus has been identified, with a positive slope following the transition from Intermittent to Annular flow and a negative slope following the onset of partial dryout at higher qualities. While the classical two-phase heat transfer correlations are generally capable of providing good agreement with the low-quality annular flow data the quality at which partial dryout occurs and the ensuing heat transfer rates are not predictable by the available macro-pipe correlations.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Experimental investigation on heat transfer mechanism of air–water mist jet impingement cooling on a heated cylinder is presented. The target cylinder was electrically heated and was maintained under the boiling temperature of water. Parametric studies were carried out for four different values of mist loading fractions, Reynolds numbers, and nozzle-to-surface spacings. Reynolds number, Rehyd, defined based on the hydraulic diameter, was varied from 8820 to 17,106; mist loading fraction, f ranges from 0.25% to 1.0%; and nozzle-to-surface spacing, H/d was varied from 30 to 60. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient with respect to air-jet impingement is presented along with variation in the heat transfer coefficient along the axial and circumferential direction. It is observed that the increase in mist loading greatly increases the heat transfer rate. Increment in the heat transfer coefficient at the stagnation point is found to be 185%, 234%, 272%, and 312% for mist loading fraction 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1.0%, respectively. Experimental study shows identical increment in stagnation point heat transfer coefficient with increasing Reynolds number, with lowest Reynolds number yielding highest increment. Stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increased 263%, 259%, 241%, and 241% as compared to air-jet impingement for Reynolds number 8820, 11,493, 14,166, and 17,106, respectively. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient is observed with a decrease in nozzle-to-surface spacing. Stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increased 282%, 248%, 239%, and 232% as compared to air-jet impingement for nozzle-to-surface spacing of 30, 40, 50, and 60, respectively, is obtained from the experimental analysis. Based on the experimental results, a correlation for stagnation point heat transfer coefficient increment is also proposed.

Measurements of the distribution of convective heat transfer over the five exposed faces of a low profile electronic package are described. The package, of square planform and length-to-height ratio, L/a = 6, is part of a regular array of such elements attached to one wall of a low aspect ratio channel. The coolant is air, and experiments are described for the Reynolds number range, 3000<Re<7000. The average heat transfer coefficient for the top face is found to be nearly equal to the overall average heat transfer coefficient for the element. The average heat transfer coefficient for the upstream face and two side faces are higher than the overall average by approximately 30–40 percent and 20–30 percent, respectively while that for the downstream face is 20–30 percent less than the overall average. Furthermore, the distribution in local heat transfer coefficient over the five surfaces of the element is approximately independent of variations in Reynolds number.

This study presents convective single-phase and boiling two-phase heat transfer performance of HFE-7100 coolant within multi-port microchannel heat sinks. The corresponding hydraulic diameters are 450 and 237 μm, respectively. For single-phase results, the presence of inlet/outlet locations inevitably gives rise to considerable increase of total pressure drop of a multi-port microchannel heat sink whereas has virtually no detectable influence on overall heat transfer performance provided that the effect of entrance has been accounted for. The convective boiling heat transfer coefficient for the HFE-7100 coolant shows a tremendous drop when vapor quality is above 0.6. For Dh = 450 μm, it is found that the mass flux effect on the convective heat transfer coefficient is rather small.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The present paper aims to numerically investigate the flow, heat transfer and entropy generation of some hydrocarbon based nanorefrigerants flowing in a circular tube subject to constant heat flux boundary condition. Numerical tests have been performed for 4 types of nanoparticles, namely Al2O3, CuO, SiO2, and ZnO with a diameter equal to 30 nm and a volume concentration of φ = 5%. These nanoparticles are dispersed in some hydrocarbon-based refrigerants, namely tetrafluoroethane (R134a), propane (R290), butane (R600), isobutane (R600a) and propylene (R1270). Computations have been performed for Reynolds number ranging from 600 to 2200. The numerical results in terms of the average heat transfer coefficient of pure refrigerants have been compared to values obtained using correlations from the literature. The results show that the increase of the Reynolds number increases the heat transfer coefficient and decreases the total entropy generation.

Convective Cooling

An experimental study was conducted to determine the heat transfer performance of advanced convective cooling techniques at the typical conditions found in a backside cooled combustion chamber. For these internal cooling channels, the Reynolds number is usually found to be above the Reynolds number range covered by available databases in the open literature. As possible candidates for an improved convective cooling configuration in terms of heat transfer augmentation and acceptable pressure drops, W-shaped and WW-shaped ribs were considered for channels with a rectangular cross section. Additionally, uniformly distributed hemispheres were investigated. Here, four different roughness spacings were studied to identify the influence on friction factors and the heat transfer enhancement. The ribs and the hemispheres were placed on one channel wall only. Pressure losses and heat transfer enhancement data for all test cases are reported. To resolve the heat transfer coefficient, a transient thermocromic liquid crystal technique was applied. Additionally, the area-averaged heat transfer coefficient on the W-shaped rib itself was observed using the so-called lumped-heat capacitance method. To gain insight into the flow field and to reveal the important flow field structures, numerical computations were conducted with the commercial code FLUENT™.
