Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of several roughness elements on the insulated wall opposite the smooth heated plate for the heat transfer with air flowing through a parallel plate duct. The local heat transfer coefficient, the velocity distribution, the turbulence intensity, and the pressure drop were measured. An optimum pitch of roughness elements for the augmentation of heat transfer exists for each space between two parallel plates. Additionally, the correspondence between the heat transfer and the flow situation is also examined. Acceleration and turbulence produced by roughness elements contribute to the increase of the local heat transfer coefficients on the smooth heated plate. Thermal performance is evaluated at constant pumping power.

Accurate estimation of heat transfer to a fluid passing through a porous medium located between impermeable walls is of practical interest. Generally, the numerical computation of heat transfer to porous media can become time consuming and correlations are needed to enable practitioners to determine this quantity rapidly. In this paper, correlations for two cases are considered: one when porous materials are between two parallel plates and the other when they are within a circular pipe. This presentation includes correlations for both local and average heat transfer coefficients in these two passages for incompressible laminar flow. These correlations require knowledge of local and average heat transfer for unobstructed fluid flowing through these passages with sufficient accuracy. Because existing correlations lack sufficient accuracy, this presentation includes an appendix that emphasizes correlations for heat transfer to fluids passing through unobstructed parallel plate channels and also for circular pipes.

Corona wind enhancement of free convection was investigated with the needle-plate geometry in air. High voltage was applied to a needle suspended above a heated plate, and heat transfer coefficients were computed by measuring the plate surface temperature distribution with an infrared camera. Local heat transfer coefficients greater than 65 W/m2 K were measured, an enhancement of more than 25:1 over natural convection. The enhancement extended over a significant area, often reaching beyond the 30 cm measurement radius. At high power levels, Joule heating significantly reduced the effective impingement point heat transfer coefficient. The corona wind was found to be more efficient with positive potential than with negative. The heat transfer efficiency was optimized with respect to electrode height and applied voltage. The needle-plate heat transfer effectiveness improved rapidly with increasing height, and became relatively insensitive to height above a threshold value of about 5 cm.

A fully developed turbulent air flow between two parallel plates with the spacing of 15 mm was accelerated through a linearly converging passage of 200 mm in length, from which it flowed into a parallel-plate channel again. A foil heater was fastened on one wall surface over the entire channel, and local heat-transfer coefficient distribution was measured over the channel Reynolds number range of 5000 to 14,000 and also the slope of the accelerating section between 2/200 mm/mm and 10/200 mm/mm. (The acceleration parameter K ranged between 1.4 × 10−6 and 2 × 10−5.) The Nusselt number at the outlet of the accelerating section was considerably lower than in the initial fully turbulent state, suggesting laminarization of the flow. The measured Nusselt number continued to decrease in the first part of the downstream parallel-plate section to a minimum and then began to increase sharply, suggesting reversion to turbulent flow. Heat transfer along the parallel-converging-parallel plate system was reproduced fairly satisfactorily by applying a k-kL model of turbulence.

This paper presents a comparison of the performance of three smooth heated surfaces with different thicknesses. Analysis was carried out on an experimental setup for flow boiling heat transfer. The most important element of the setup was the test section with a rectangular minichannel, 1.7 mm deep, 16 mm wide and 180 mm long, oriented vertically. The heated element for the FC-72 Fluorinert flowing in the minichannel was designated as a Haynes-230 alloy plate (0.10 mm and 0.45 mm thick) or a Hastelloy X alloy plate (0.65 mm thick). Infrared thermography was used to measure the temperature of the outer plate surface. The local values of the heat transfer coefficient for stationary state conditions were calculated using a simple one-dimensional method. The experimental results were presented as the relationship between the heat transfer coefficients in the subcooled boiling region and the distance along the minichannel length and boiling curves. The highest local heat transfer coefficients were recorded for the surface of 0.10 mm thick heated plate at the outlet and 0.45 mm thick plate at the minichannel inlet. All boiling curves were typical in shape.

The heat transfer characteristics of single and dual-exit drainage configurations for arrays of liquid jets impinging normal to a heated isoflux plate has been studied experimentally. The interaction of drainage channel crossflow from upstream jets and the stagnation jets and its impact on heat transfer was the focus of the investigation. Infrared thermography was used to measure the local temperature distribution on the heated plate, from which local heat transfer coefficients were determined. A single jet diameter was used, and jet arrays with jet-to-jet spacings of 4.8, 6, 8, and 12 jet diameters were studied. Average jet Reynolds numbers in the range 400–5000 were investigated for jet nozzle-to-impingement plate spacings of 1, 2, and 4 jet diameters for fully flooded (submerged) drainage flow. A single jet-to-plate spacing large enough to yield free-surface jets was also studied. The data reveal a complex dependence of local and average Nusselt numbers on the geometric parameters which describe the problem configuration.

The cooling process controlled by an impinging unsubmerged jet on a heated surface is tackled. Numerical studies about cooling by a two-phase incompressible turbulent flow have not been significantly treated in the literature and are considered here. The liquid jet cooling method is modelled by associating the energy equation with a multiphase incompressible turbulent flow model, the final objective being to be able to predict the heat transfer coefficient between the cooling liquid jet and the impinged surface. Turbulence is modelled by Large Eddy Simulation (LES). It is coupled with an Eulerian Volume of Fluid (VOF) method to follow the evolution of the interface between two fluids. In a first part, a work of validation is led and the model is compared to experimental results available in the literature [1]. Convective heat transfer induced by a planar jet of water impinging normally onto a flat heated surface is simulated. Knowing the imposed heat flux, local heat transfer coefficients are deduced from predicted surface temperatures. The next step will be to study cooling due to a cylindrical jet of water impinging onto a heated semi-hemispherical concave surface.

Abstract The paper deals with a study of the effect of regulating elements on local values of heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces with forced air convection. The use of combined methods of heat transfer intensification, i.e. a combination of regulating elements with appropriately shaped heat exchange areas seems to be highly effective. The study focused on the analysis of local values of heat transfer coefficients in indicated cuts, in distances expressed as a ratio x/s for 0; 0.33; 0.66 and 1. As can be seen from our findings, in given conditions the regulating elements can increase the values of local heat transfer coefficients along shaped heat exchange surfaces. An optical method of holographic interferometry was used for the experimental research into temperature fields in the vicinity of heat exchange surfaces. The obtained values correspond very well with those of local heat transfer coefficients αx, recorded in a CFD simulation.

AbstractAnticipating the processes and parameters involved for accomplishing a sound metal casting requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying behaviors characterizing a liquid melt solidifying inside its mold. Heat balance represents a major factor in describing the thermal conditions in a casting process and one of its main influences is the heat transfer between the casting and its surroundings. Local heat transfer coefficients describe how well heat can be transferred from one body or material to another. This paper will discuss the estimation of these coefficients in a gravity die casting process with local air gap formation and heat shrinkage induced contact pressure. Both an experimental evaluation and a numerical modeling for a solidification simulation will be performed as two means of investigating the local heat transfer coefficients and their local differences for regions with air gap formation or contact pressure when casting A356 (AlSi7Mg0.3).

Survey of the works on condensation inside smooth horizontal tubes published from 1955 to 2013 has been performed. Theoretical and experimental investigations, as well as more than 25 methods and correlations for heat transfer prediction are considered. It is shown that accuracy of this prediction depends on the accuracy of volumetric vapor content and pressure drop at the interphase. The necessity of new studies concerning both local heat transfer coefficients and film condensation along tube perimeter and length under annular, stratified and intermediate regimes of phase flow was substantiated. These characteristics being defined will allow determining more precisely the boundaries of the flow regimes and the methods of heat transfer prediction.
