The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The purpose of this paper is to determine an equation enabling the calculation of the temperature at the exit of a gas cooler, knowing the input temperature, the flow rate, the pressure, the gas composition, the temperature of the heat transfer fluid as well as the heat transfer coefficient of the gas cooler and its transfer surface with the constrain to be easily applied and to give acceptable results. This research has been initiated by compressor engineers and experts in charge of checking the compressor installations. This paper consists of 3 parts. • Determining the equation: This section sets out the equations of continuity, momentum and energy applied to a gas particle flowing within a pipe, by using some assumptions. The most important assumption allows us to consider the gas particle as a very thin disk with the same diameter as the “equivalent tube” of the gas cooler and of which the normal is parallel to the axis of the tube. This gas particle therefore has two faces perpendicular to the gas flow. At the end of the demonstration, the gas cooler could be described in a equation where the inputs are the temperature of the gas entering the gas cooler, the outside temperature of the system considered to be that of the heat transfer fluid of the gas cooler, the total transfer surface of the gas cooler, the average molar heat capacity at constant pressure of the gas, the molar mass of the gas, the mass flow rate, the heat transfer coefficient of the gas cooler; and at the end, a fouling factor is introduced to achieve the purpose of this paper. • Numerical application: In this section, the global heat transfer coefficient of a gas cooler is determined. Knowing this value, The error between temperature T2 established by the provider of the equipment at the exit of the gas cooler and temperature T2calc calculated according to the proposed formula in this paper is determined. The error margin is systematically less than ±0.5 °C. • Field tests: Field tests using this method showed: - the tested gas cooler does not meet the specified requirements, - the accuracy of the method applied in field tests is 98%, - the method is very easy to apply on site and gives acceptable results.

In this study, the cooling performance of nanofluids in car radiators was investigated. A car radiator, temperature measuring instrument, and other components were used to set up the experimental device, and the temperature of nanofluids passing through the radiator was measured by this device. Three kinds of nanoparticles, γ-Al2O3, α-Al2O3, and ZnO, were added to propylene glycol to prepared nanofluids, and the effects of nanoparticle size and type, volume concentration, initial temperature, and flow rate were tested. The results indicated that the heat transfer coefficients of all nanofluids first increased and then decreased with an increase in volume concentration. The ZnO-propylene glycol nanofluid reached a maximum heat transfer coefficient at 0.3 vol%, and the coefficient decreased by 25.6% with an increase in volume concentration from 0.3 vol% to 0.5 vol%. Smaller particles provided a better cooling performance, and the 0.1 vol% γ-Al2O3-propylene glycol nanofluid had a 19.9% increase in heat transfer coefficient compared with that of α-Al2O3-propylene glycol. An increase in flow rate resulted in a 10.5% increase in the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.5 vol% α-Al2O3-propylene glycol nanofluid. In addition, the experimental temperature range of 40–60°C improved the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.2 vol% ZnO-propylene glycol nanofluid by 46.4%.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

An experimental investigation of the heat-transfer coefficient to a spherical probe in a cyclone-bed chamber with fluidized bed in the “cold” and “hot” regimes has been carried out. The heat-transfer coefficient was determined by the regular thermal regime. The dependences of the heat-transfer coefficient in the vortex-bed furnace on the various parameters: the diameter of the outlet hole, the air flow rate, the share of the bottom blast and the location of the probe were determined. It is revealed that in the “cold” regime the heat-transfer coefficient has practically constant value in the radial direction, it almost does not depend on the diameter of the outlet hole and the share of the bottom blast and depends significantly on the position of the probe along the height of the furnace and the air flow rate. The effect of flow swirling on the heat-transfer coefficient in a cyclone-bed chamber with fluidized bed is determined. When the fuel burns (“hot” regime), the heat-transfer coefficient is not constant in the radial direction and accept the maximum values in the central area of the chamber. At the same time, the part of conductive-convective component in the total heat-transfer coefficient to the spherical probe, depending on its radial position, is estimated at 40–70 %. The results can be used in the design and creation of modern high-efficiency furnaces for burning local solid biofuels.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The object of research is the process of concentrating fruit and vegetable purees in an improved rotary film evaporator. The existing hardware design of traditional processes for processing fruits and vegetables, as a rule, is not unified enough, inconvenient in operation and is designed for high productivity. Concentration of fruit and vegetable purees occurs mainly in vacuum evaporators of periodic and continuous operation at a temperature of 60–80 °C under vacuum, which allows them to significantly preserve their nutritional value. But the duration of the process remains very significant (in devices of periodic action up to 75–90 minutes). One of the most problematic areas in the concentration of fruit and vegetable raw materials is significant losses of biologically active substances. At the same time, an important indicator of the quality of the process of concentrating pasty fruit and vegetable pastes is the value of the heat transfer coefficient, which characterizes the efficiency of the heat transfer method and the design features of the mixing device, taking into account the thermophysical characteristics of the product. To create conditions for conducting research to determine the heat transfer coefficient, it is necessary to use instrumentation with precise regulation of the necessary technological parameters. To study the heat transfer coefficient when concentrating fruit and vegetable purees, an automatic installation of an improved rotary evaporator was designed. The improvement of the rotary film evaporator (RFE) is carried out due to the lower location of the separating space by installing a screw discharge of the paste and preheating the output puree with secondary steam. The experimental dependences of the heat transfer coefficient on the product flow rate make it possible to determine the rational values of the flow rate of the RFE feedstock at various values of the rotor shaft speed. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient is influenced to a large extent by the product consumption, and the rotor speed acts to a lesser extent, only the relative speed of fluid passage around the developed hinged blade changes. It is found that when the frequency changes from 0.3 to 1.7 s–1, an increase in the heat transfer coefficient by 1.45 times is observed, which is explained by a more intensive degree of mixing of the product by the blades.

Abstract Heat transfer coefficient has an important influence on the flow and heat transfer of supercritical water in the core channels. The effects of different factors and their interactions on the heat transfer coefficient of the supercritical water were studied by full factorial experimental design method, such as pressure, mass flow rate, heat flux, and inlet temperature. The results show that: Within the range of the tested working conditions, effect D (inlet temperature), effect B (mass flow rate) and effect A (pressure) had a significant impact on the heat transfer coefficient, where the percentage contribution of effect D was 48.21%; effect B was 21.58%; effect A was 15.1%. The percentage contribution of other factors and their interactions on the heat transfer coefficient of the supercritical water can be ignored. At the same time, a prediction formula of heat transfer coefficient on supercritical water was fitted, and it was found that the prediction error of this formula conformed to the assumption of normality, and the prediction error was 10.5%.

A three-dimensional physical mode of metal foam tube was built by CFD software. The Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy equation and user-defined function (UFD) of the mass transfer and energy transfer between vapor phase and liquid phase compiled by C language were used in the simulation of boiling heat transfer in metal foam tube. The results show that, at a given mass flow rate, the pressure drop nonlinearly increases as the vapor quality rises; At the low mass flow rate, with the increasing of vapor quality, the flow pattern is transferred to wavy flow from stratified flow and then transfer to stratified wavy flow, while the heat transfer coefficient decreases with the increasing of vapor quality. At the high mass flow rate, with the increasing of vapor quality, the flow pattern is transferred to annular flow from slug flow, while the heat transfer coefficient increases with the increasing of vapor quality. The simulation results agree well with the experimental data.

In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted with subcooled water film flowing over an electrically heated horizontal cylinder. The combinations of film flow rate and heat flux at which film breakdown occurs (i.e., dry patches appear on the surface) were determined. At the conditions prior to dry patch formation, the heat transfer coefficient was determined as well. The results showed that the heat flux needed to cause a dry patch increases with film flow rate. Also, prior to dry patch formation, the heat transfer coefficient increases with film flow rate. The effects of the tube spacing and the liquid film inlet temperature on the breakdown heat flux and heat transfer coefficient were also studied.

In this project, the flow distribution for air and water, and the enhancement of the heattransfer coefficient are experimentally studied. Experimental studies have been performed totest the influence of discharge, pitch, the height of ribs at a constant heat flux on thetemperature and pressure distributions. Along the channel of the test and the heat transfercoefficient, the water volume flow rate was about (5-12 L/min), the air volume flow rate wasabout (5.83-16.66 L/min), and heat were (80, 100,120, watt). An experimental rig wasconstructed within the test whole system. On the other hands, the channel has a divergentsection with an angle =15o with vertical axis. The study included changing in the ribs heightby using three values (12, 15, 18 mm) and changing the ribs pitch into three values (5, 8, 10mm).The results indicated an increasing in the local heat transfer coefficient as a result ofincreasing the discharge. While there was an inverse influence for the temperature distributionalong the test channel which drops when the discharge rise. The results also confirm that theincreasing in the pitch distance leads to reduce the heat transfer coefficient. Increasing theribs height increases the coefficient of heat transfer. However, the experiment heat transfercoefficient improves about (15.6 %) when the water volume flow rate increased from (5 to 12L/min), and about (18.7%) when the air volume flow rate increased from (5.83 to 16.66L/min). The best heat transfer coefficient was about (35.6 %) which can be achieved whenthe pitch decreased from (10 to 5mm). The increasing of the height from (12 to 18) mmimproves the heat transfer coefficient about (11.2 %). The best rib dimension was 18 mmheight, and 5 mm pitch, which give a maximum heat transfer coefficient (1212.02 W/m2. oC).

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of gas flow velocity, size of sand particles, and the distance between tubes immersed in a fluidized bed on heat transfer coefficient. Experimental tests were conducted on a bundle of copper tubes of (12.5 mm) diameter and (320 mm) length arranged in a matrix (17×9) and immersed in a fluidized bed inside a plastic container. One of the tubes was used as a hot tube with a capacity of (122 W). (25 kg) of sand with three different diameters of sand particles (0.15, 0.3 and 0.6 mm) was used in these tests at ten speeds for gas flow (from 0.16 m/s to 0.516 m/s). The results showed a significant inverse effect of fluidized bed particles diameter on the heat transfer coefficient. Accordingly, the heat transfer coefficient for (0.15mm) diameter sand was found to be higher than that of (0.3 mm) and (0.6 mm) sand by about (3.124) and (6.868) times respectively, in all tests. The results showed good agreement with results from other studies conducted under the same conditions but with different sand particle size.
