The analogy between heat, mass, and momentum transfer is applied to a rotating disk. Experimentally measured mass-transfer rates from a disk rotating in an infinite environment under laminar and turbulent conditions are related to the corresponding heat-transfer process by means of an analogy method. The experimental analog is shown to eliminate difficulties associated with accurate measurements of heat-transfer coefficients. Experimental data on the effect of an adiabatic surface placed at various distances parallel to the disk on the transfer rate from the disk are presented. Observations of some unusual flow patterns resulting from Goertler type vortexes in the transition regime and from some as yet unexplained turbulent vortex phenomena are also reported.

The heat-transfer characteristics of a partially enclosed rotating disk have been investigated experimentally by means of a mass-transfer analog. Mass-transfer rates to air from naphthalene coated disks of 4 and 8 in. diameter were measured at speeds between zero and 10,000 rpm and the influence of the spacing between the rotating disk and its housing was investigated with and without source flow. From the experimental results a dimensionless correlation equation suitable for predicting average heat and mass-transfer coefficients for rotating disks with source flow in turbulent flow at rotational Reynolds numbers up to 4 × 105 was deduced. The flow pattern was investigated by means of a hot wire, a smoke visualization technique, and the china clay method.

The work presented is an effort to realize the changes occurring for convective coefficients of heat transfer in STHX fitted with inclined baffles. Effort has been undertaken using Fluent, a commercially available CFD code ona CAD model of small STHX with inclined baffles with cold liquid flowing into the tubes and hot liquid flowing in the shell. Four sets of CFD analysis have been carried out. The hot liquid flow rate through shell compartments varied from 0.2 kg/sec to 0.8 kg/sec in steps of 0.2 kg/sec, while keeping the cold liquid flow condition in tube at 0.4 kg/sec constant. Heat transfer rates, compartment temperatures, and overall heat transfer coefficients, for cold liquid and hot liquid, were studied. The results given by the software using CFD approach were appreciable and comparatively in agreement with the results available by the experimental work, which was undertaken for the same set of inlet pressure conditions, liquid flow rates, and inlet temperatures of liquid for both hot and cold liquids. The experimental output results were also used to validate the results given by the CFD software. The results from the CFD analysis were further used to conclude the effect of baffle inclination on heat duty. The process thus followed also helped realize the effects of baffle inclination on convective heat transfer coefficient of the liquid flow through the shell in an inclined baffle shell and tube heat exchanger. The temperature plots for both cold and hot liquid were also generated for understanding the compartmental temperature distributions inclusive of the inlet and outlet compartments. The heat duty for a heat exchanger has been found to increase with the increase in baffle inclinations from zero degree to 20 degrees. Likewise, the convective heat transfer coefficients have also been found to increase with the increase in baffle inclinations.

Experimental Errors

Some of the previously reported heat transfer coefficients with evaporation are fairly large as compared with those of a dry body under similar hydrodynamic conditions. In order to clarify this curious enhancement of heat transfer, a method of error evaluation was developed and applied to correct the experimental errors in the recently reported results. An experimental study was also made on turbulent heat and mass transfer of air flowing over a water surface. The present and the previously reported experimental results revealed that the heat transfer coefficient with evaporation agrees with that of a dry body without evaporation, within experimental error, if the erroneous heat inputs into the liquid are properly corrected according to the proposed method.

Vertical Tubes

In turbulent condensation with noncondensable gas, a thin noncondensable layer accumulates and generates a diffusional resistance to condensation and sensible heat transfer. By expressing the driving potential for mass transfer as a difference in saturation temperatures and using appropriate thermodynamic relationships, here an effective “condensation” thermal conductivity is derived. With this formulation, experimental results for vertical tubes and plates demonstrate that condensation obeys the heat and mass transfer analogy, when condensation and sensible heat transfer are considered simultaneously. The sum of the condensation and sensible heat transfer coefficients becomes infinite at small gas concentrations, and approaches the sensible heat transfer coefficient at large concentrations. The “condensation” thermal conductivity is easily applied to engineering analysis, and the theory further demonstrates that condensation on large vertical surfaces is independent of the surface height.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

An experimental study of forced convection heat transfer is reported. Direct air cooling of an electronics packaging system is modeled by a channel flow, with an array of uniformly sized and spaced elements attached to one channel wall. The presence of a single or complete row of longitudinally finned heat sinks creates a modified flow pattern. Convective heat transfer rates at downstream positions are measured and compared to that of a plain array (no heat sinks). Heat transfer rates are described in terms of adiabatic heat transfer coefficients and thermal wake functions. Empirical correlations are presented for both variations in Reynolds number (5000 < Re < 20,000) and heat sink geometry. It is found that the presence of a heat sink can both enhance and degrade the heat transfer coefficient at downstream locations, depending on the relative position.

Through Flow

The conjugate heat transfer in a stationary cylindrical cavity with a rotating disk and fluid through-flow is analysed at various rotational speeds ranging from 10000 to 50000 rpm by using a finite volume commercial code. The numerical model and code are validated for a problem, which involves rotation and fluid through-flow. A reduction of the thermal boundary layer thickness and increase in the heat transfer coefficients are observed with increase in the rotational speed. Marked differences are noticed between the Nusselt numbers obtained from the conjugate and constant temperature analyses.

Bulk Medium

Measurements are reported of heat transfer coefficients in steady natural convection on a vertical constant flux plate embedded in a saturated porous medium. Results show that heat transfer coefficients can be adequately determined via a Darcy-based model, and our results confirm a correlation proposed by Bejan [Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer. 26(9), 1339–1346 (1983)]. It is speculated that the reason that the Darcy model works well in the present case is that the porous medium has a lower effective Prandtl number near the wall than in the bulk medium. The factors that contribute to this effect include the thinning of the boundary layer near the wall and an increase of effective thermal conductivity.

Experimental Apparatus

Heat exchangers consisting of finned tubes are commonly employed in air conditioning systems, air heaters, radiators, etc. Local measurements of mass transfer coefficients on fins, obtained by Saboya and Sparrow, are very nonuniform. In the present work, an experimental apparatus was set up to measure overall heat transfer coefficients for two-row tube and plate fin heat exchangers. The obtained results, together with Shepherd’s results for one-row exchangers, are used to transform the local mass transfer coefficients into local heat transfer coefficients. A numerical two-dimensional heat transfer analysis has been performed in order to obtain the temperature distribution and fin efficiency. The influences of the Reynolds number and fin material are also analyzed.
