A stable meniscus is formed between a needle dispensing water over a heated circular face of a rotating copper block. The needle is offset from the axis of rotation and thus forms a moving meniscus. The water flow rate, heater surface temperature and the speed of rotation are controlled to provide a stable meniscus with complete evaporation of water without any meniscus break-up. The experimental heat transfer rate is compared with the transient heat conduction model developed here. The results indicate that the transient heat conduction plays a major role in the heat transfer process from a moving meniscus. The study provides an important insight on the role of transient conduction around a nucleating bubble in pool boiling.

A stable meniscus is formed by a circular nozzle dispensing water over a heated circular face of a rotating cylindrical copper block. The nozzle is offset from the axis of rotation of the copper block and thus a moving meniscus is formed on the surface. The water flow rate, heater surface temperature, and the speed of rotation are controlled to provide a stable meniscus with continuous evaporation of water without any meniscus breakup. The study provides an important insight into the role of the evaporating liquid-vapor interface and transient heat conduction around a nucleating bubble in pool boiling.

Abstract Lots of generalized heat conduction models have been developed in recent decades, such as local thermal non-equilibrium model, phase lagging model and nonlocal heat conduction model. But no attempt was made to prove which model is better (or worse) than others, or whether there is a certain relationship between these different models. With this inspiration, we establish the nonlocal bioheat transfer equations with lagging time, and the two and three-temperature bioheat transfer equations with considering all the carries' heat conduction effect are also constructed. Comparing the two (or three)-temperature equation model with the nonlocal bioheat transfer models with lagging time, one may obtain: the lagging time tt of temperature gradient and the nonlocal characteristic length ?q in the space derivative items of heat flux have the same effect on heat transfer; when the heat transport occur among N energy carriers with considering the conduction effects of all carries, the heat transfer process are depend on the high-order effect of tqN-1, ttN-1 and ?t(2N-1) in nonlocal dual phase lag bioheat transfer model. This phenomenon is very important for biological and medical systems where numerous carriers may exist on the cellular level.

Equations governing the transient heat conduction in porous materials consisting of solids and fluids of different thermal properties were derived with a volumetric average scheme under the assumption of nonthermal equilibrium. The derivation leads to a macroscopic two-equation system which requires the closure modeling of new unknown terms due to interfacial transport, namely, the tortuosity term and the interfacial heat transfer term. Closure relations were obtained from the microscopic equations for temperature fluctuation under quasi-steady assumption. The closure coefficients appeared in the closure relations then depend on the media geometry as well as thermal properties. To demonstrate these dependencies, the closure coefficient for the thermal tortuosity is evaluated based on the effective stagnant thermal conductivity model proposed by Hsu et al. (1995) for periodically packed cubes, and the coefficient for interfacial heat transfer based on a quasi-steady heat conduction of dispersed spheres immersed in fluids. The salient features as well as the applicability and limitation of the newly proposed transient heat conduction model were discussed.

Thermal protection is still one of the key challenges for successful scramjet operations. In this study, the three-dimensional coupled heat transfer between high-temperature gas and regenerative cooling panel with kerosene of supercritical pressure flowing in the cooling channels was numerically investigated to reveal the fundamental characteristics of regenerative cooling as well as its influencing factors. The SST k-ω turbulence model with low-Reynolds-number correction provided by the pressure-based solver of Fluent 19.2 is adopted for simulation. It was found that the heat flux of the gas heated surface is in the order of 106 W/m2, and it declines along the flow direction of gas due to the development of boundary layer. Compared with cocurrent flow, the temperature peak of the gas heated surface in counter flow is much higher. The temperature and heat flux of the gas heated surface both rises with the static pressure and total temperature of gas. The heat flux of the gas heated surface increases with the mass flow rate of kerosene, and it hardly changes with the pressure of kerosene. Results herein could help to understand the real heat transfer process of regenerative cooling and guide the design of thermal protection systems.
