We study, using pump-probe optical methods with a time resolution of 1 ms, heat transfer when a series of water droplets impact a smooth surface whose temperature exceeds the boiling point. The volume of the individual water droplets is ≈10 nl, the time between droplets is ≈0.3 ms, and the number of water droplets in the series of droplets is 3, 20, or 100. In the temperature range 100 °C < T < 150 °C, our measurements of the heat transfer, and the residence time of water in contact with the surface, show that nearly all of the dispensed water vaporizes, but more rapidly, the higher the temperature. At higher temperatures, 150 °C < T < 220 °C, droplet shattering plays an increasingly important role in limiting heat transfer and, as a result, the volume of water evaporated and residence time decrease strongly with increasing temperature.

Limiting Values

The general problem of condensation in a variable acceleration field was investigated analytically. The case of the linear variation, which occurs in a constant cross section, rotating thermosyphon, was treated in detail. The results show that the condensate thickness and Nusselt numbers approach limiting values as the radial distance increases. The effects of the temperature differential and the Prandtl number are similar to those in other condensation problems; i.e., the heat transfer increases slightly with increasing temperature differential if Pr > 1, but it decreases with increasing temperature differential if Pr ≪ 1.

This study investigates the influence of the heat flux and mass velocity on convective heat transfer performance of FC-72 in a rectangular channel of 20mm in width and 2 mm in height. The heated side has either a smooth surface or a pin-finned surface. The inlet fluid temperature is maintained at 30°C. The total length of the test channel is 113 mm, with a heated length of 25mm. The flow rate varies between 80 and 960 ml/min, and the heat flux sets between 18 and 50 W/cm2. The experimental results show that the controlling variable is heat flux instead of flow rate because of the boiling activities in FC-72. At a fixed flow rate, the pin-finned surface yields up to 20% higher heat transfer coefficient and greater critical heat flux than those of a smooth surface.

An analytical investigation has been made to identify and quantify critical parameters influencing the final result of a transient heat transfer experiment. The aim was to obtain a set of dimensionless parameters, that describe the interaction of the individual measured quantities in a compact form. Among the wide variety of different kinds of heat transfer measurement techniques, the transient method, employing thermochromic liquid crystals, is very useful. It gives much detailed heat transfer information with a minimum effort in experimental time. The present paper focuses on this technique, although it is not the only choice for all kinds of applications, but it is the currently most frequently used one. This paper provides the means to lay out an experiment, so that it yields acceptable results with respect to the constraints for a set of test boundary conditions.

This paper specifically addresses the effect of the sintering temperature curve in manufacturing nickel powder capillary structure (wick) for a loop heat pipe (LHP) with flat evaporator. The sintering temperature curve is composed of three regions: a region of increasing temperature, a region of constant temperature, and a region of decreasing temperature. The most important region is the increasing temperature region, as the rate of temperature increase directly affects the performance of the wick.When the slope of the region of increasing temperature is 0.8 (equivalent to 8 OC/min), the structure of the manufactured wick is complete, with the best heat transfer performance result. Experimental resultsshowed that the optimal heat transfer performance is 160W, the minimal total thermal resistance is approximately 0.43OC/W, and the heat flux is 17W/cm2; the optimal wick manufactured has an effective pore radius of 5.2 μm, a permeability of 5.9×10-13m2, and a porosity of 64%.

A low coolant mass flow impingement/effusion design for a low NOx combustor wall cooling application was predicted, using conjugate heat transfer (CHT) computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The effusion geometry had 4306/m2 effusion holes in a square array with a hole diameter of D and pitch of X and X/D of 1.9. It had previously been shown experimentally and using CHT/CFD to have the highest adiabatic and overall cooling effectiveness for this number of effusion holes. The effect of adding an X/D of 4.7 impingement jet wall with a 6.6 mm impingement gap, Z, and Z/D of 2.0, on the overall cooling effectiveness was predicted for several coolant mass flow rates, G kg/sm2bar. At low G the internal wall heat transfer dominated the overall cooling effectiveness. The addition of impingement cooling to effusion cooling gave only a small increase in the overall cooling effectiveness at all G at 127mm downstream of the start of effusion cooling. An overall cooling effectiveness >0.7 was predicted for a low G of 0.30 kg/sm2bar. This represents about 15% of the combustion air for a typical industrial gas turbine combustor and design changes to reduce this further were suggested based on the predictions of this geometry. The main benefit of the impingement cooling was at the start of the effusion cooling, where the overall cooling effectiveness was dominated by the internal wall impingement and effusion cooling. The separate effusion and impingement cooling were also predicted for comparison with their combination. This showed that the combination of impingement and effusion was not the sum of the individual effusion and impingement heat transfer. The predictions showed that the aerodynamic interactions decreased the effusion and impingement internal wall heat transfer.

This paper describes an experimental study of heat transfer in a reciprocating planar curved tube that simulates a cooling passage in piston. The coupled inertial, centrifugal, and reciprocating forces in the reciprocating curved tube interact with buoyancy to exhibit a synergistic effect on heat transfer. For the present experimental conditions, the local Nusselt numbers in the reciprocating curved tube are in the range of 0.6–1.15 times of static tube levels. Without buoyancy interaction, the coupled reciprocating and centrifugal force effect causes the heat transfer to be initially reduced from the static level but recovered when the reciprocating force is further increased. Heat transfer improvement and impediment could be superimposed by the location-dependent buoyancy effect. The empirical heat transfer correlation has been developed to permit the evaluation of the individual and interactive effects of inertial, centrifugal, and reciprocating forces with and without buoyancy interaction on local heat transfer in a reciprocating planar curved tube.
