The high temperatures and gaseous products resulting from combustion of hydrocarbon fuels in magnetohydrodynamic generators have provided an impetus to develop more accurate methods for prediction of gas temperature profiles and heat fluxes at the generator walls. One area where an improvement may be realized is in the evaluation of radiative transfer between the gas and surrounding walls. Analyses and results are presented to examine the importance of the radiative transfer term appearing in the gas energy balance for classical Hartmann MHD flow. Results for both real (nongray) and gray gas radiative properties are presented. Inclusion of radiation is found to increase the surface heat flux as well as to alter gas temperature profiles. Furthermore, real gas results differ significantly from those for a gray gas.

A study of interaction of radiative transfer with convective transfer is presented for slug flow of an absorbing-emitting gas in a circular tube with an isothermal black wall. The zone method of solution is utilized to evaluate axial gas temperature and wall heat flux distributions using recently developed direct exchange areas for arbitrary zone width to radius ratio. Gas radiative properties are evaluated from the weighted sum of gray gases model with weighting factors and gray gas absorption coefficients applicable for an equimolal mixture of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Results are presented for several values of the governing parameters which are the Boltzmann and Stanton numbers, inlet gas and tube wall temperatures, as well as tube length to diameter ratio. Effects of cooling and heating of the gas are examined.

AbstractSea-to-air heat fluxes are the energy source for tropical cyclone (TC) development and maintenance. In the bulk aerodynamic formulas, these fluxes are a function of surface wind speed U10 and air–sea temperature and moisture disequilibrium (ΔT and Δq, respectively). Although many studies have explained TC intensification through the mutual dependence between increasing U10 and increasing sea-to-air heat fluxes, recent studies have found that TC intensification can occur through deep convective vortex structures that obtain their local buoyancy from sea-to-air moisture fluxes, even under conditions of relatively low wind. Herein, a new perspective on the bulk aerodynamic formulas is introduced to evaluate the relative contribution of wind-driven (U10) and thermodynamically driven (ΔT and Δq) ocean heat uptake. Previously unnoticed salient properties of these formulas, reported here, are as follows: 1) these functions are hyperbolic and 2) increasing Δq is an efficient mechanism for enhancing the fluxes. This new perspective was used to investigate surface heat fluxes in six TCs during phases of steady-state intensity (SS), slow intensification (SI), and rapid intensification (RI). A capping of wind-driven heat uptake was found during periods of SS, SI, and RI. Compensation by larger values of Δq > 5 g kg−1 at moderate values of U10 led to intense inner-core moisture fluxes of greater than 600 W m−2 during RI. Peak values in Δq preferentially occurred over oceanic regimes with higher sea surface temperature (SST) and upper-ocean heat content. Thus, increasing SST and Δq is a very effective way to increase surface heat fluxes—this can easily be achieved as a TC moves over deeper warm oceanic regimes.
