The Heat Transfer Coefficient

A transient cooling process using a submerged radial water jet is considered. The experiment set up consists of a submerged radial jet exiting from a nozzle located over a thin plate. The plate is made out of aluminum alloy and it has two discrete heat sources located symmetrically at the opposite side of the impinging surface. The temperature variation in the plate is captured using a data acquisition system. The plate is allowed to reach a stable temperature before the radial jet system is generated. The results obtained present the temperature distribution for the plate and the heat transfer coefficient at the fluid-solid interface, for different nozzle heights and initial plate temperature.

Good Agreement

An experimental study was conducted on the heat transfer characteristics of flow through a porous channel with discrete heat sources on the upper wall. The temperatures along the heated channel wall were measured with different heat fluxes and the local Nusselt numbers were calculated at the different Reynolds numbers. The temperature distribution of the fluid inside the channel was also measured at several points. The experimental results were compared with that predicted by an analytical model using the Green’s integral over the discrete sources, and a good agreement between the two was obtained. The experimental results confirmed that the heat transfer would be more significant at leading edges of the strip heaters and at higher Reynolds numbers.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

In order to keep the environment in an air-conditioned room comfortable, it is important to anticipate the air velocity and temperature fields precisely. The numerical code, solving simultaneously the Navier-Stokes equations governing flow field inside and outside the room and the heat conduction equation applying to walls, are developed. The assumption that the heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the surface of solids is not used. This code is applied to investigate the cooling process of a cubic shell. The computational results agree with the experimental results. We also investigated the same process of the cubic shells whose walls are internally or externally insulated. The difference of the amount of heat transfer will be discussed.

The Green Function

This paper describes an analytical technique for heat transfer in a low permeability porous channel with initially a point heat source and then multiple discrete sources. The solution of the temperature field for the point source is derived as a Green function, from which the temperature field for other geometrical heat sources can be obtained by using the Green integral. An application of the Green function and Green integral to the porous channel with discrete heat sources is presented. The results are compared with the existing numerical results and good agreements are achieved. [S1043-7398(00)01503-6]

Solid Region

The primary focus of this paper is the conjugate heat transfer during vertical impingement of a two-dimensional (slot) submerged confined liquid jet using liquid ammonia as the working fluid. Numerical model for the heat transfer process has been developed. The solid region has been modeled along with the fluid region as a conjugate problem. Discrete heat sources have been used to study the overall effect on convective heat transfer. Simulation of discrete heat sources was done by introducing localized heat fluxes at various locations and their magnitudes being varied. Simulations are performed for two different substrate materials namely silicon and stainless steel. The equations solved in the liquid region included the conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. In the solid region, only the energy equation, which reduced to the heat conduction equation, had to be solved. The solid-fluid interface temperature showed a strong dependence on several geometric, fluid flow, and heat transfer parameters. The Nusselt number increased with Reynolds number. For a given flow rate, a higher heat transfer coefficient was obtained with smaller slot width and lower impingement height. For a constant Reynolds number, jet impingement height and plate thickness, a wider opening of the slot provided higher average heat transfer coefficient and higher average Nusselt number. A higher average heat transfer coefficient was seen at a smaller thickness, whereas a thicker plate provided a more uniform distribution of heat transfer coefficient. Higher thermal conductivity substrates also provided a more uniform heat distribution.

Energy Equations

A three-dimensional model has been developed to analyze the transient and steady-state performance of flat heat pipes subjected to heating with multiple discrete heat sources. Three-dimensional flow and energy equations are solved in the vapor and liquid regions, along with conduction in the wall. Saturated flow models are used for heat transfer and fluid flow through the wick. In the wick region, the analysis uses an equilibrium model for heat transfer and a Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy model for fluid flow. Averaged properties weighted with the porosity are used for the wick analysis. The state equation is used in the vapor core to relate density change to the operating pressure. The density change due to pressurization of the vapor core is accounted for in the continuity equation. Vapor flow, temperature and hydrodynamic pressure fields are computed at each time step from coupled continuity/momentum and energy equations in the wick and vapor regions. The mass flow rate at the interface is obtained from the application of kinetic theory. Predictions are made for the magnitude of heat flux at which dryout would occur in a flat heat pipe. The input heat flux and the spacing between the discrete heat sources are studied as parameters. The location in the heat pipe at which dryout is initiated is found to be different from that of the maximum temperature. The location where the maximum capillary pressure head is realized also changes during the transient. Axial conduction through the wall and wick are seen to play a significant role in determining the axial temperature variation.
