Full Explanation

Abstract Many applications of heat-transfer phenomena by forced convection require a knowledge of heat transfer from simple geometric bodies like the flat plate. Investigations of the flat plate have been limited, in general, to studies of isothermal plates of 0-deg angle of incidence and in laminar flow. The amount of data concerning investigations on turbulent flow, nonisothermal plates or inclined plates is quite small. It is the intent of this paper to provide information on the heat transfer from a nonisothermal inclined flat plate in laminar flow. It is shown herein that forced-convection heat-transfer data for an inclined nonisothermal flat plate with a constant specific rate of heat flow can be correlated and represented by an equation of the type (1)NuxReL=C(xL)n for laminar flow. It is further shown that this equation is similar in slope to the theoretical equation of the type (2)NuxReL=C2(xL)m+12 for an isothermal plate in laminar flow, but is larger by 30 per cent in absolute value. This variance can be partly explained by an analysis of the behavior of a nonisothermal plate as opposed to an isothermal one, but this analysis leaves much to be desired, so that the full explanation is at present unknown.

Good Agreement

Heat transfer coefficients were measured for a solution of surfactant drag-reducing additive in the entrance region of a uniformly heated horizontal cylindrical pipe with Reynolds numbers from 25,000 to 140,000 and temperatures from 30to70°C. In the absence of circumferential buoyancy effects, the measured Nusselt numbers were found to be in good agreement with theoretical results for laminar flow. Buoyancy effects, manifested as substantially higher Nusselt numbers, were seen in experiments carried out at high heat flux.

The heat transfer and pressure distribution in a rectangular cavity in a Mach 3 flow were investigated for a rectangular and an inverted-wedge recompression step. Noticeable differences between the results for the two steps were found in the recovery factors, but no real differences were detected in the heat-transfer coefficients or the velocity profiles. Heat-transfer coefficients in the cavity were determined by transient techniques and were found to range from 50 to 110 percent of the flat-plate value just prior to the expansion step.

This paper reports an experimental investigation into force convective heat transfer of nanofluids flowing through a cylindrical minichannel under laminar flow and constant wall heat flux conditions. Sample nanofluids were prepared by dispersing different volumetric concentrations (0.2–0.8%) of nanoparticles in deionized water. The results showed that both the convective heat transfer coefficient and the Nusselt number of the nanofluid increase considerably with the nanoparticle volume fraction as well as the Reynolds number. Along with the enhanced thermal conductivity of nanofluids, the migration, interactions, and Brownian motion of nanoparticles and the resulting disturbance of the boundary layer are responsible for the observed enhancement of heat transfer coefficients of nanofluids.

Local as well as average heat transfer coefficients between an isothermal flat plate and impinging two-dimensional jets were measured for both single jets and arrays of jets. For a large and technologically important range of variables the results have been correlated in relatively simple terms, and their application to design is briefly considered.

Angular Dependency

The effect of inclination angle of the downward facing flat plate on the interfacial wavy motion is investigated utilizing the water quenching test apparatus downward ebullient laminar transition apparatus flat surface (DELTA-FS) in a quasi-steady state. Film boiling heat transfer coefficients are obtained on the relatively long surface in the flow direction. Interfacial velocities at the various inclination angles and wall superheat conditions are determined through the analysis of the visualized continuous snapshots with 1000 fps. Visualization of the vapor film reveals that the interfacial wavelength increases and the interfacial velocity decreases as the flat plate moves from the vertical to downward facing locations. A new semi-empirical correlation is developed from the measured heat transfer coefficients and interfacial velocities. The correlation shows good agreement with the previous water test results on vertical plates. In the case of the previous other fluid experimental results on the vertical plates, the correlation overpredicts the film boiling heat transfer coefficients at the experimental condition.

A continuum model is applied to the numerical simulation of the laminar hydrodynamic and heat-transfer characteristics of suspension with phase change material (PCM) particles in a microchannel. The analytical/numerical formulation based on CFD modeling technique, and the computer code is developed. Local wall-to-suspension heat transfer coefficients are calculated by the simultaneous solution of the conservation of mass, momentum and thermal energy equations. By providing detailed information on the local behavior of the wall-to-suspension heat transfer coefficients, preliminary calculations expose that there exists a particle-depleted layer next to the wall under the laminar flow condition. It plays an important role on the heat transfer between the suspension and the wall under the laminar flow condition. The heat transfer coefficient increases and reaches a peak value in the melting region. The benefits on the enhancement of heat transfer and the reduction of wall temperature and mean temperature by employing the MCPCM particle are mainly in the melting region. The preliminary results agree very well with the experimental observations and measurement on the flow and heat transfer of microencapsulated PCM slurry in circular duct. It interprets the observation in the literature where heat transfer between the suspension and the wall is weaker in non-melting region and melted region than that between the pure fluid and the wall for laminar flow conditions.
