Pulsating Jets

The paper presents experimental heat transfer results on a circular cylinder cooled by a pulsating slot jet of air. The jet is generated by a new small wind tunnel, designed for flows with low turbulence intensities. The pulsation of the jet is obtained with the introduction of a rotating disk, divided in sectors, between the exit of the slot and the cylinder to be cooled. The disk can rotate at several frequencies. Local and average Nusselt numbers have been measured at several Reynolds numbers and distances from the slot exit. The heat transfer results are dependent on the frequency of the pulsation. The position of the cylinder, which maximizes the heat transfer, is compared to the case of a stationary jet.

In most gas turbines, blade-cooling air is supplied from stationary preswirl nozzles that swirl the air in the direction of rotation of the turbine disk. In the “cover-plate” system, the preswirl nozzles are located radially inward of the blade-cooling holes in the disk, and the swirling airflows radially outward in the cavity between the disk and a cover-plate attached to it. In this combined computational and experimental paper, an axisymmetric elliptic solver, incorporating the Launder–Sharma and the Morse low-Reynolds-number k–ε turbulence models, is used to compute the flow and heat transfer. The computed Nusselt numbers for the heated “turbine disk” are compared with measured values obtained from a rotating-disk rig. Comparisons are presented, for a wide range of coolant flow rates, for rotational Reynolds numbers in the range 0.5 X 106 to 1.5 X 106, and for 0.9 < βp < 3.1, where βp is the preswirl ratio (or ratio of the tangential component of velocity of the cooling air at inlet to the system to that of the disk). Agreement between the computed and measured Nusselt numbers is reasonably good, particularly at the larger Reynolds numbers. A simplified numerical simulation is also conducted to show the effect of the swirl ratio and the other flow parameters on the flow and heat transfer in the cover-plate system.

In this work, steady flow-field and heat transfer through a copper–water nanofluid around a circular cylinder, under the influence of both the standard thermal boundary conditions i.e. uniform heat flux (UHF) and constant wall temperature (CWT) was investigated numerically by using a finite-volume method for Reynolds numbers of 10 to 40. Furthermore, the range of nanoparticle volume fractions (φ) considered is 0 ≤ φ ≤ 5%. The variation of the local and the average Nusselt numbers with Reynolds number, and volume fractions are presented for the range of conditions. The average Nusselt number is found to increase with increasing the nanoparticle volume fractions.

Experimental Heat Transfer

Comparisons with experimental heat transfer and surface pressures were made for seven turbine vane and blade geometries using a quasi-three-dimensional thin-layer Navier–Stokes analysis. Comparisons are made for cases with both separated and unseparated flow over a range of Reynolds numbers and free-stream turbulence intensities. The analysis used a modified Baldwin-Lomax turbulent eddy viscosity model. Modifications were made to account for the effects of: (1) free-stream turbulence on both transition and leading edge heat transfer; (2) strong favorable pressure gradients on relaminarizations; and (3) variable turbulent Prandtl number on heat transfer. In addition, the effect on heat transfer of the near-wall model of Deissler is compared with the Van Driest model.

Convective Heat Transfer Coefficients

The present paper reports heat transfer measurements on a circular cylinder, electrically heated, and cooled by a slot jet of air. The diameter of the cylinder is equal to the slot height. Temperature measurements in five positions along the circumference of the circular cylinder, allow the evaluation of the convective heat transfer coefficients or Nusselt numbers at several Reynolds numbers. The Nusselt numbers are compared with the corresponding results in uniform flow around a circular cylinder. The experiments have been performed at several distances from the slot jet exit and different Reynolds numbers. Numerical simulations have been carried out with a commercial code.

Heated Metal

Experimental heat-transfer rates from spheres moving through liquid sodium have been obtained. The experimental data were obtained by a transient technique in which a heated metal sphere was passed through a pool of liquid sodium. Heat-transfer rates up to 3.58 × 106 Btu/(hr)(ft2) were calculated from the experimental measurements. Reynolds numbers, based on the sphere velocity and diameter, ranged from 35,000 to 153,000. The experimental data were correlated by an expression similar to theoretical expressions obtained from potential-flow theory.

Abstract Heat transfer in the transient flow freezing on the external surfaces of circular cylinders in a bundle with in-line arrangement is studied, numerically. Low Reynolds numbers are considered, therefore, flow is assumed to be symmetric. Local and average Nusselt numbers are calculated, at different time steps. The steady state average Nusselt numbers are compared with the reported experimental results. Their agreement is reasonable.
