Thermal protection materials are required to preserve the metal components of motor that suffer severe heat load. The research on thermal response of insulation of ramjet combustion chamber was carried out by the ground test and numerical simulation. During the working time of the ramjet, the back-face temperature of the thermal protection material was measured. The scanning electron microscope of samples was investigated. The calculation of thermo-chemical flow was solved by the CFD software FLUENT to provide the heat load boundary for simulation of heat transfer of EPDM insulation. The heat transfer model was solved by the FEA software ANSYS. Comparison of the temperature profile at the ablating surface between calculation and measurement shows the two results agree with each other. The simulation results can provide the temperature rising trend of insulation in a certain extent.

Natural convection heat transfer in a rotating, differentially heated enclosure is studied numerically in this paper. The rotating enclosure is filled with water-Ag, water-Cu, water-Al2O3, or water-TiO2nanofluids. The governing equations are in velocity, pressure, and temperature formulation and solved using the staggered grid arrangement together with MAC method. The governing parameters considered are the solid volume fraction,0.0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.05, and the rotational speeds,3.5≤ Ω ≤ 17.5 rpm, and the centrifugal force is smaller than the Coriolis force and both forces were kept below the buoyancy force. It is found that the angular locations of the local maximums heat transfer were sensitive to rotational speeds and nanoparticles concentration. The global quantity of heat transfer rate increases about 1.5%, 1.1%, 0.8%, and 0.6% by increasing 1%ϕof the nanoparticles Ag, Cu, Al2O3, and TiO2, respectively, for the considered rotational speeds.

The design of a plane-type, bidirectional thermal diode is presented. This diode is composed of two vertical plates and several fluid-filled loops with their horizontal segments soldered to the vertical plates. This invention is simple in construction and low in cost. The direction of heat transfer in the invented thermal diode can be easily reversed. These features of the present invention make it very attractive to solar energy utilization. Natural convection analysis for thermosyphon operations was adopted for heat transfer calculations of the fluid-filled loops. A one-dimensional heat transfer analysis was employed to estimate the heat transfer rate and ratio of heat transfer rates of the diode under forward and reverse bias.

Governing Equations

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of laminar dual circular jet impinging on a heating plate with inclined confinement surface has been investigated numerically. Governing equations in steady state are solved by a control volume based finite-difference method. The simulations have been carried out for Reynolds number (250≤Re≤418), the angle of inclination of the confined upper wall (0 ≤ θ ≤ 10), circular jet to annular jet velocity ratio (0≤VR≤2) and jet to target plate distances between 2D and 8D where D is the outer diameter of dual jet.SIMPLE algorithm was used to obtain velocity and temperature fields. Hybrid difference scheme is adopted for the discretized terms in the governing equations. The discretised equations are solved iteratively using the tridiagonal matrix algorithm line solver. Heat transfer performance along the heated wall is amplified with an increase in the velocity ratio and the Reynolds number. On the contrary, a substantial reduction in the heat transfer rate, for VR = 0.0, occurs in the stagnation zone, because the absence of the inner nozzle injection causes the recirculation in the corresponding region. The heat transfer rate in the stagnation zone is attenuated by increasing the jet nozzle to impinging plate distance. In particular, the effect of the inclination angle in the down-stream region, especially at the vicinity of outlet, is major then other effects Nusselt number distribution on the impingement plate is affected by inclined upper wall because inclination of the wall accelerates the exhaust flow. The streamwise reduction in the heat transfer rate for θ = 0° is suppressed by the presence of the inclined confinement surface and its value is intensified by the inclination angle.

AbstractThe present study investigates the hydromagnetic pulsating nanofluid flow in a porous channel with thermal radiation. In this work, we considered water as the base fluid and silver (Ag), copper (Cu), alumina (Al2O3) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) as nanoparticles. The Maxwell-Garnetts and Brinkman models are used to evaluate the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluid. The governing equations are solved analytically and the influence of various parameters on velocity, temperature and heat transfer rate has been discussed through graphical results. From the results, it is found that the rate of heat transfer enhances with an increase of nanoparticle volume fraction. Further, the heat transfer rate is higher for silver nanoparticles as compared with copper, alumina and titanium dioxide.

Thermal Conductivities

Packed bed reactors are utilized for catalysts, chemical heat pumps, etc. Because the effective thermal conductivities of the packed beds of particles are generally low (≈10−1 W/mK), this matter often results in low performance and degradation of catalyst. Many heat transfer tubes with fins and/or much filler with high thermal conductivities are inserted in the packed bed reactors to improve heat transfer rate. In return to this, the volume of reactive particles packed into the reactors, or stored energy, decreases. In this study, the effect of fin configurations on the heat transfer rate in the reactors is numerically investigated. Three configurations of fins are studied. (1) “Sheet type” is a longitudinal fin attached on the heat transfer tubes. It is placed to connect between heat transfer tubes. (2) “Straight type” is several longitudinal fins in the half length of the tube pitch attached on the tube with radial structure. (3) “Spiral type” is many narrow rectangular fins attached on the tube with spiral structure. To discuss the effect of fin configuration on the heat transfer generally, the heat conduction equation in the packed bed around the tube is converted to the dimensionless form. The transient temperature responses in the packed bed and fins at a uniform temperature are calculated when the temperature of the tube surface is stepwise changes. In another analytical system, a homogeneous body around the tube is assumed. To evaluate the thermal performance of the fin, apparent thermal conductivity is defined as the thermal conductivity which gives the same thermal response as that calculated in the heterogeneous system. As a result, the spiral type rather than the straight and sheet types effectively increases apparent thermal conductivity. The apparent thermal conductivity of the spiral type is two-three times larger than the straight type, and ten times as large as the sheet type. This result indicates dispersion of fins in packed bed is essential to improve the thermal response in the reactors.

Mixed convection flow in a tubular enclosure filled with nanofluid in the presence of a magnetic field is numerically investigated in the present study. The bottom and top curved wall of the enclosure are respectively kept isothermally hot and cool while the remaining walls are insulated. The governing equations are formulated based on Boussinesq assumptions and solved with finite element method. The computation is carried out for mixed convection regime (0.1 ≤ Ri ≤ 10) and also natural convection regime (10 < Ri ≤ 100) with fixed values of remaining parameters. A detailed parametric discussion is presented for the physical properties of flow and temperature distributions in terms of streamlines, isotherms, average heat transfer rate within the flow domain. The results show that the flow and temperature fields affected by varying of pertinent parameters. Moreover, heat transfer rate is increased by 139.50% with the increase in Richardson number from 0.1 to 100. The increasing rate of heat transfer due to Ri is respectively decreased by 58.11% with varying of Ha from 0 to 60 and increased by 23.97% with the addition of nanoparticles up to 3%. Comparison is performed against the previously published results on the basis of special cases and found to be in excellent agreement.
