The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Local heat transfer coefficients are presented for a single spherical protuberance on a plate, along which the boundary layer was turbulent, for air speeds from 50 to 150 fps. Two spheres were used to produce ratios of sphere diameter to boundary-layer thickness of the order of 2 and 0.7. The heat transfer coefficient behind the sphere depends approximately on the eight-tenths power of the velocity, its maximum is located about 2 dia downstream of the sphere, and the downstream effect is limited spanwise to a region about 4 dia in width.

Abstract A numerical and experimental investigation on cooling of a solid surface was performed by studying the behavior of an impinging jet onto a fixed flat target. The local heat transfer coefficient distributions on a plate with a constant heat flux were computationally investigated with a normally impinging axisymmetric jet for nozzle diameter of 4.6mm at H/d = 4 and 10, with the Reynolds numbers of 10,000 and 40,000. The two-dimensional cylindrical Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a two-equation k-ε turbulence model. The finite-volume differencing scheme was used to solve the thermal and flow fields. The predicted heat transfer coefficients were compared with experimental measurements. A universal function based on the wave equation was developed and applied to the heat transfer model to improve calculated local heat transfer coefficients for short nozzle-to-plate distance (H/d = 4). The differences between H/d = 4 and 10 due to the correlation among heat transfer coefficient, kinetic energy and pressure were investigated for the impingement region. Predictions by the present model show good agreement with the experimental data.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Local heat transfer in gravity die casting is of great importance for precision in terms of distortion, mechanical properties, and the quality of the castings due to its effect on solidification. Depending on contact conditions such as liquid melt to solid mold, a gap between mold and component, or contact pressure between casting and mold as a result of shrinkage, there are very large differences in heat transfer. The influences of mold material, mold coating and its influence of aging, mold temperature control, and layout on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) were investigated experimentally for different contact cases. The experiments were carried out on a rotationally symmetrical experimental setup with modular exchangeable die inserts and cores using an AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy. From the results of the individual test series, the quantitative shares of the above-mentioned influencing variables in the respective effective heat transfer coefficients were determined by means of analysis of variance. From this, the parameters having the most significant influence on the local heat balance were derived.

We used gradient thermometry to determine local heat transfer coefficients on the fire deck surface. We studied two modes of engine operation, that is, motored and fired. We show that the heat transfer coefficient distribution over the fire deck surface is inhomogeneous. Our investigation results may be used to validate existing models of heat transfer in a combustion chamber.

AbstractExperimentally found local heat transfer coefficients are analyzed as a function of the measuring point on the heat transfer surface area of the agitated vessel wall and of the impeller eccentricity. Eccentric Rushton turbine and A 315 impeller are considered. Local heat transfer coefficients were measured by means of the computer-aided electrochemical method. The measurements were performed in an agitated vessel with inner diameter 0.3 m, filled with liquid up to the height equal to the vessel diameter. The experiments were carried out within the turbulent regime of the Newtonian liquid flow in the agitated vessel. The results were compared with the data obtained for the agitated vessel equipped with an eccentrically located axial flow propeller or an HE 3 impeller. Experimental studies show that the distributions of the heat transfer coefficient values depend on the impeller eccentricity, impeller type and the direction of the liquid circulation in the agitated vessel.

The differences in the heat transfer coefficient between the pin and the wall in pin-fin heat transfer was determined for three pin length to diameter ratios. A staggered pin-fin array was used with a 50% duct flow blockage by the pins. The axial pitch-to-pin diameter ratio, X/D, was 1.5 and the transverse pitch-to-diameter ratio, S/D, was 2.0. Three pin length-to-diameter ratios, T/D, of 0.7. 1.0 and 2.2 were investigated. The mean heat transfer coefficient results were very similar to previous work for similar geometries. The axial variation of heat transfer coefficient showed this to be fairly uniform with a small peak at the fourth row. Around each pin four measurements of the heat transfer coefficients were made with four on the fin surface at each end. Thus 12 local heat transfer coefficients were made per pin-fin. These showed that for all three geometries the wall or fin heat transfer was always greater by 15–35% than the pin for the same velocity and Re.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Local heat-transfer coefficients and recovery factors are presented for three different cylinders in a two-dimensional subsonic air flow, with emphasis on the effect of screen-produced turbulence on these quantities. The increase in turbulent intensity so realized produced larger local heat-transfer coefficients, in a way dependent upon the location on the cylinders, through a direct increase in the heat transfer to the laminar boundary layer, through an earlier transition to turbulence, or through an alteration in the character of the separated flow. Alternatively, recovery factors were affected less, being invariant with respect to the turbulent intensity for attached boundary layer flow, but demonstrating large changes in those separated flow regions for which increased free stream turbulence produced substantial changes in the nature of the separated flow.

This work reports an experimental study of convective heat transfer of aqueous alumina nanofluids in a horizontal microchannel under laminar flow condition. The variation of local heat transfer coefficients, in both entrance and developed flow regime, is obtained as a function of axial distance. The heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids is found to be dependent upon not only nanoparticle concentration but also mass flow rate. Different to the behavior in conventional-sized channels, the major heat transfer coefficient enhancement is observed in fully developed region in microchannels. Discussions of the results suggest that the heterogeneous nature of nanoparticle flow should be considered.

Cylindrical Geometries

An experimental investigation of the performance of extended fin surfaces for the forced convective cooling of a range of engine component geometries in crossflow is reported. The experiments were undertaken to measure the surface heat transfer coefficient distributions of external finning around non-cylindrical geometries for use in aviation gas turbines in which the cooling performance/mass ratio must be maximised. The geometries examined were a box (square with rounded corners), a flute (rectangle with circular ends) and a 30° wedge. These models were sized to have equivalent cross sectional area to allow a direct comparison of performance. Perspex models coated with thermochromic liquid crystal were tested at a range of Reynolds numbers in a heat transfer wind tunnel in which a step change in flow temperature was used to measure the transient thermal behaviour of the fins. This technique enables the full surface mapping of local heat transfer coefficients on the surface of the fins. These measurements are compared with those for the equivalent smooth geometries and also with empirical calculations from the literature where available. A comparison with previous cylindrical measurements is also made. Knowledge of the distributions of local heat transfer coefficients enables the optimisation of the geometry through strategies such as baffling of the fins. Some examples of these strategies have been implemented and the results are reported. The finned geometries are seen to outperform the unfinned geometries (by factors greater than 3) though by factors less than simply the increase in area. The enhancement in h results because the increased surface area of the fins more than outweighs the decrease in local h on the fin surface as compared to the smooth geometries.

The paper reports the results of an experimental investigation which was intended to clarify the present uncertain position with regard to the distributions of mean temperature and mean velocity in a turbulent natural-convection boundary layer. Data reported for the turbulent boundary layer for Grashof numbers between 1010 and 1011 include local heat transfer coefficients as well as temperatures and velocities. Local heat transfer coefficients and temperature distributions are also reported for the laminar and transitional boundary-layer regions. Results are compared with other experimental data and with theoretical predictions.
