Heat Transfer Coefficients

Compared to traditional continuous jets, synthetic jets have specific advantages, such as lower power requirement, simpler structure, and the ability to produce an unsteady turbulent flow which is known to be effective in augmenting heat transfer. This study presents experimental and computational results that document heat transfer coefficients associated with impinging a round synthetic jet flow on the tip region of a longitudinal fin surface used in an electronics cooling system. Unique to this study are the geometry of the cooled surface and the variations in geometry of the jet nozzle or nozzles. Also unique are measurements in actual-scale systems and in a scaled-up system, and computation. In the computation, the diaphragm movement of the synthetic jet is a moving wall and the flow is computed with a dynamic mesh using the commercial software package ANSYS FLUENT. The effects of different parameters, such as amplitude and frequency of diaphragm movement and jet-to-stagnation-line spacing, are recorded. The computational results show a good match with the experimental results. In the experiments, an actual-scale system is tested and, for finer spatial resolution and improved control over geometric and operational conditions, a large-scale mock-up is tested. The three approaches are used to determine heat transfer coefficients on the fin on and near the stagnation line. Focus is on the large scale test results and the computation. Application to the actual-size cases is discussed. The dynamically-similar mock-up matches the dimensionless Reynolds number, Stokes number, and Prandtl number of the actual setting with a scale factor of 44. A linear relationship for heat transfer coefficient versus frequency of diaphragm movement is shown. Heat transfer coefficient values as high as 650 W/m2K are obtained with high-frequency diaphragm movement. Cases with different orifice shapes show how cooling performance changes with orifice design.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

The local heat-transfer coefficient at the surface of a component placed in combustor exhaust gases can be determined from an analysis of surface temperature oscillations induced by fluctuations of the exhaust-gas temperature. Within a prescribed bandwidth, the relative amplitudes of the Fourier components of the gas and surface temperature waves are a simple function of the local heat-transfer coefficient and the thermal properties of the component. This method of measuring the local heat-transfer coefficient is described in this paper and heat transfer coefficients measured around small cylinders in crossflow (Re = 4000–20,000) are reported. Measurements of the transient response of cylinders abruptly placed in the exhaust-gas stream were conducted to determine the accuracy of the wide bandwidth method. Wide bandwidth gas temperatures and velocities and their cross correlations in the combustor exit were measured to characterize the large-scale exhaust-gas dynamics. It is shown that the stagnation line heat-transfer coefficients are uniformly higher than those obtained in low-turbulence cold gas streams; the magnitude of the stagnation line Nusselt number increases with the measured turbulent intensity. Away from the stagnation line in the unseparated region, the dependence of the local heat-transfer coefficients on the angle from the stagnation line is in agreement with earlier data measured in cold gas streams.

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Microchannels and minichannels have been shown to have many potential applications for cooling high-heat-flux electronics over the past 3 decades. Synthetic jets can enhance minichannel performance by adding net momentum flux into a stream without adding mass flux. These jets are produced because of different flow patterns that emerge during the induction and expulsion stroke of a diaphragm, and when incorporated into minichannels can disrupt boundary layers and impinge on the far wall, leading to high heat transfer coefficients. Many researchers have examined the effects of synthetic jets in microchannels and minichannels with single-phase flows. The use of synthetic jets has been shown to augment local heat transfer coefficients by 2–3 times the value of steady flow conditions. In this investigation, local heat transfer coefficients and pressure loss in various operating regimes were experimentally measured. Experiments were conducted with a minichannel array containing embedded thermocouples to directly measure local wall temperatures. Flow regimes ranged from laminar to turbulent. Local wall temperature measurements taken directly beneath the synthetic jet in a laminar flow regime indicated that when a synthetic jet was used, the heat transfer coefficient was increased as much as 2.8 times the value as when synthetic jets were not used. Significant heat transfer coefficient augmentation also propagated to the upstream location, where heat transfer was increased to 2.2 times the value as when the synthetic jets were not used. Additional measurements show that synthetic jets significantly altered the pressure loss coefficient of the minichannels and that this effect was more pronounced in laminar flow than in turbulent flow. The effect of operating frequency on heat transfer and pressure loss is also presented. It was shown that the optimal operating point for the synthetic jet within a minichannel was in transitional to weakly turbulent flow (2600<Re<4500) to maximize the increase in heat transfer coefficient and minimize the increase in pressure loss.

High performance turbine airfoils are typically cooled with a combination of internal cooling channels and impingement channels. In such applications, the jets impinge against a target surface, and then exit along the channel formed by the jet plate, target plate, and side walls. Local convection coefficients are the result of both the jet impact, as well as the channel flow produced from the exiting jets. Numerous studies have explored the effects of jet array and channel configurations on both target and jet plate heat transfer coefficients. However, little work has been done in examining effects of circumferentially non-uniform heating on all channel walls, which is the kind of thermal boundary condition in real world applications. This paper examines the local and averaged effects of channel height and circumferential heating variations on heat transfer coefficients. High resolution local heat transfer coefficient distributions on target and side wall surfaces were measured using temperature sensitive paint and recorded via a scientific grade charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. Streamwise pressure distributions for both the target and side walls was recorded and used to explain heat transfer trends. Results are presented for average jet based Reynolds numbers between 17,000 and 45,000. All experiments were carried out on a large scale single row, 15 hole impingement channel, with X/D of 5, Y/D of 4, and Z/D of 1, 3 and 5.

Cooling Passage

In certain regions of turbine aerofoils, cooling system designers need to cool the blades with convection systems that provide high heat transfer coefficients. The present research has investigated a circular cooling passage with tangential injection suitable for a blade leading edge. The heat transfer coefficients are measured using the conventional transient heat transfer, liquid crystal technique. The results are compared to the data from steady state experiments performed by Hedlund et al. [1]. The cooling system performance is compared in detail to average data from earlier tangential injection experiments and to local heat transfer coefficient expected from a normal impingement system. The vortex flow field was also studied by numerical prediction and near-wall velocity measurements. The investigation of the flow structure has led to understanding of flow mechanisms responsible for the high heat transfer coefficient. The vortex flow field was also investigated using computational fluid dynamics and with hot wire anemometry. The latter near wall measurements were combined with the law of the wall and Colburn analogy to validate the flow and heat transfer measurements.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

AbstractInvestigations of flow boiling in highly viscous fluids show that heat transfer mechanisms in such fluids are different from those in fluids of low viscosity like refrigerants or water. To gain a better understanding, a modified standard apparatus was developed; it was specifically designed for fluids of high viscosity up to 1000 Pa∙s and enables heat transfer measurements with a single horizontal test tube over a wide range of heat fluxes. Here, we present measurements of the heat transfer coefficient at pool boiling conditions in highly viscous binary mixtures of three different polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and n-pentane, which is the volatile component in the mixture. Systematic measurements were carried out to investigate pool boiling in mixtures with a focus on the temperature, the viscosity of the non-volatile component and the fraction of the volatile component on the heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, copper test tubes with polished and sanded surfaces were used to evaluate the influence of the surface structure on the heat transfer coefficient. The results show that viscosity and composition of the mixture have the strongest effect on the heat transfer coefficient in highly viscous mixtures, whereby the viscosity of the mixture depends on the base viscosity of the used PDMS, on the concentration of n-pentane in the mixture, and on the temperature. For nucleate boiling, the influence of the surface structure of the test tube is less pronounced than observed in boiling experiments with pure fluids of low viscosity, but the relative enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient is still significant. In particular for mixtures with high concentrations of the volatile component and at high pool temperature, heat transfer coefficients increase with heat flux until they reach a maximum. At further increased heat fluxes the heat transfer coefficients decrease again. Observed temperature differences between heating surface and pool are much larger than for boiling fluids with low viscosity. Temperature differences up to 137 K (for a mixture containing 5% n-pentane by mass at a heat flux of 13.6 kW/m2) were measured.

R 134A

The evaporation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops of R-410A and R-134a flowing through a horizontal-aluminium rectangular multiport mini-channel having a hydraulic diameter of 3.48 mm are experimentally investigated. The test runs are done at refrigerant mass fluxes ranging between 200 and 400 kg/m2s. The heat fluxes are between 5 and 14.25 kW/m2, and refrigerant saturation temperatures are between 10 and 30 °C. The effects of the refrigerant vapour quality, mass flux, saturation temperature and imposed heat flux on the measured heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are investigated. The experimental data show that in the same conditions, the heat transfer coefficients of R-410A are about 20–50% higher than those of R-134a, whereas the pressure drops of R-410A are around 50–100% lower than those of R-134a. The new correlations for the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R-410A and R-134a in a multiport mini-channel are proposed for practical applications.

The Heat Balance

An approximate method for calculation of the hourly output of a solar still over a 24-hour cycle has been studied. The hourly performance of a solar still is predicted given the values of the insolation, ambient temperature, wind heat-transfer coefficient, water depth, and the heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides. The proposed method does not require graphical constructions and does not assume constant heat-transfer coefficients as in the previous methods. The possibility of using the values of the heat-transfer coefficients for the preceding time interval in the heat balance equations is examined. In fact, two variants of the basic method of calculation are examined. The hourly rate of evaporation is obtained. The results are compared to those obtained by numerical solution of the complete set of heat balance equations. The errors from the approximate method in prediction of the 24-hour output are within ±1.5 percent of the values from the numerical solution using the heat balance equations. The range of variables covered is 5 to 15 cms in water depth, 0 to 3 W/m2K in a heat-transfer coefficient through base and sides, and 5 to 40 W/m2K in a wind heat-transfer coefficient.

Internal Heat Transfer

A new method has been developed and demonstrated for the non-destructive, quantitative assessment of internal heat transfer coefficient distributions of cooled metallic turbine airfoils. The technique employs the acquisition of full-surface external surface temperature data in response to a thermal transient induced by internal heating/cooling, in conjunction with knowledge of the part wall thickness and geometry, material properties, and internal fluid temperatures. An imaging Infrared camera system is used to record the complete time history of the external surface temperature response during a transient initiated by the introduction of a convecting fluid through the cooling circuit of the part. The transient data obtained is combined with the cooling fluid network model to provide the boundary conditions for a finite element model representing the complete part geometry. A simple 1D lumped thermal capacitance model for each local wall position is used to provide a first estimate of the internal surface heat transfer coefficient distribution. A 3D inverse transient conduction model of the part is then executed with updated internal heat transfer coefficients until convergence is reached with the experimentally measured external wall temperatures as a function of time. This new technique makes possible the accurate quantification of full-surface internal heat transfer coefficient distributions for prototype and production metallic airfoils in a totally non-destructive and non-intrusive manner. The technique is equally applicable to other material types and other cooled/heated components.

In this paper, convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients of the Indian groundnut were computed under indoor forced convection drying (IFCD) mode. The groundnuts were dried as a single thin layer with the help of a laboratory dryer till the optimum safe moisture storage level of 8 – 10%. The experimental data were used to determine the values of experimental constants C and n in the Nusselt number expression by a simple linear regression analysis and consequently, the convective heat transfer coefficient (CHTC) was determined. The values of CHTC were used to calculate the evaporative heat transfer coefficient (EHTC). The average values of CHTC and EHTC were found to be 2.48 W/m2 oC and 35.08 W/m2 oC, respectively. The experimental error in terms of percent uncertainty was also estimated. The experimental error in terms of percent uncertainty was found to be 42.55%. The error bars for convective and evaporative heat transfer coefficients are also shown for the groundnut drying under IFCD condition.

Abstract A numerical and experimental investigation on cooling of a solid surface was performed by studying the behavior of an impinging jet onto a fixed flat target. The local heat transfer coefficient distributions on a plate with a constant heat flux were computationally investigated with a normally impinging axisymmetric jet for nozzle diameter of 4.6mm at H/d = 4 and 10, with the Reynolds numbers of 10,000 and 40,000. The two-dimensional cylindrical Navier-Stokes equations were solved using a two-equation k-ε turbulence model. The finite-volume differencing scheme was used to solve the thermal and flow fields. The predicted heat transfer coefficients were compared with experimental measurements. A universal function based on the wave equation was developed and applied to the heat transfer model to improve calculated local heat transfer coefficients for short nozzle-to-plate distance (H/d = 4). The differences between H/d = 4 and 10 due to the correlation among heat transfer coefficient, kinetic energy and pressure were investigated for the impingement region. Predictions by the present model show good agreement with the experimental data.
