An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of inlet pressure, sample thickness, initial sample temperature, and temperature sensor location on the surface heat flux, surface temperature, and surface ultrafast cooling rate using stainless steel samples of diameter 27 mm and thickness (mm) 8.5, 13, 17.5, and 22, respectively. Inlet pressure was varied from 0.2 MPa to 1.8 MPa, while sample initial temperature varied from 600°C to 900°C. Beck’s sequential function specification method was utilized to estimate surface heat flux and surface temperature. Inlet pressure has a positive effect on surface heat flux (SHF) within a critical value of pressure. Thickness of the sample affects the maximum achieved SHF negatively. Surface heat flux as high as 0.4024 MW/m2was estimated for a thickness of 8.5 mm. Insulation effects of vapor film become apparent in the sample initial temperature range of 900°C causing reduction in surface heat flux and cooling rate of the sample. A sensor location near to quenched surface is found to be a better choice to visualize the effects of spray parameters on surface heat flux and surface temperature. Cooling rate showed a profound increase for an inlet pressure of 0.8 MPa.

Shape Dependence

The laminar boundary layer equations for free convection over bodies of arbitrary shape (i.e., a three-term series expansion) and with arbitrary surface heat flux or surface temperature are solved in local Cartesian coordinates. Both two-dimensional bodies (e.g., horizontal cylinders) and axisymmetric bodies (e.g., spheres) with finite radii of curvature at their stagnation points are considered. A Blasius series expansion is applied to convert from partial to ordinary differential equations. An additional transformation removes the surface shape dependence and the surface heat flux or surface temperature dependence of the equations. A second-order-correct, finite-difference method is used to solve the resulting equations. Tables of results for low Prandtl numbers are presented, from which local Nusselt numbers can be computed.

Sst Anomaly

Abstract The seasonality of the decadal sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and the related physical processes in the northwestern Pacific were investigated using a three-dimensional bulk mixed layer model. In the Kuroshio–Oyashio Extension (KOE) region, the strongest decadal SST anomaly was observed during December–February, while that of the central North Pacific occurred during February–April. From an examination of the seasonal heat budget of the ocean mixed layer, it was revealed that the seasonal-scale enhancement of the decadal SST anomaly in the KOE region was controlled by horizontal Ekman temperature transport in early winter and by vertical entrainment in autumn. The temperature transport by the geostrophic current made only a slight contribution to the seasonal variation of the decadal SST anomaly, despite controlling the upper-ocean thermal conditions on decadal time scales through the slow Rossby wave adjustment to the wind stress curl. When averaging over the entire KOE region, the contribution from the net sea surface heat flux was also no longer significantly detected. By examining the horizontal distributions of the local thermal damping rate, however, it was concluded that the wintertime decadal SST anomaly in the eastern KOE region was rather damped by the net sea surface heat flux. It was due to the fact that the anomalous local thermal damping of the SST anomaly resulting from the vertical entrainment in autumn was considerably strong enough to suppress the anomalous local atmospheric thermal forcing that acted to enhance the decadal SST anomaly.

Ultrafast Cooling

The requirement for high tensile strength steel has placed greater emphasis on the cooling methods used in the cooling of a hot steel plate. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of surfactant concentration in water jet cooling, and its applicability in the study of ultrafast cooling (UFC) of a hot steel plate. The initial temperature of the plate, before the cooling starts, is kept at 900 °C which is usually observed as the “finish rolling temperature (FRT)” in the hot strip mill of a steel plant. The current heat transfer analysis shows that surfactant added water jet produces higher heat flux than the pure water jet due to the higher forced convection cooling area. Dissolved surfactant increases the transition boiling heat flux, nucleate boiling heat flux and critical heat flux. At a concentration of 600 ppm, the maximum surface heat flux has been observed and further increase in surfactant concentration decreases the surface heat flux. The surface heat flux and the cooling rate show an increasing trend with the increasing water flow rate at a constant surfactant concentration. The achieved cooling rate in case of surfactant added water is almost twice that of jet with pure water, resulting in ultrafast cooling. By assuming the impinging surface consists of three different constant heat flux regions, the surface heat flux and the surface temperatures have been calculated by using intemp software.

Flux Measurements

Heat flux measurements were performed in an air-cooled utility engine using a fast-response coaxial-type surface thermocouple. The surface heat flux was calculated using both analytical and numerical models. The heat flux was found to be a strong function of engine load. The peak heat flux and initial heat flux rise rate increase with engine load. The measured heat flux data were used to estimate a global heat transfer rate, and this was compared with the heat transfer rate calculated by a single-zone heat release analysis. The measured values of heat transfer were higher than the calculated values largely because of the lack of spatial averaging. The high load data showed an unexplainable negative heat flux during the expansion stroke while the gas temperature was still high. A 1D and 2D finite difference numerical model utilizing an adaptive timestep Crank-Nicholson (CN) integration routine was developed to investigate the surface temperature measurement. Applying the measured surface temperature profile to the 1D model, the resultant surface heat flux showed excellent agreement with the analytical inversion solution and captured the reversal of the energy flow back into the cylinder during the expansion stroke. The 2D numerical model was developed to observe transient lateral conduction effects within the probe and incorporated the various materials used in the construction and assembly of the heat flux sensor. The resulting average heat flux profile for the test case is shown to be slightly higher in peak and longer in duration when compared with the results from the 1D analytical inversion, and this is attributed to contributions from the high thermal diffusivity constituents in the sensor. Furthermore, the negative heat flux at high load was not eliminated suggesting that factors other than lateral conduction may be affecting the measurement accuracy.

Abstract Large-eddy simulation, with recently developed dynamic subgrid-scale models, is used to study the effect of heterogeneous surface temperature distributions on regional-scale turbulent fluxes in the stable boundary layer (SBL). Simulations are performed of a continuously turbulent SBL with surface heterogeneity added in the form of streamwise transitions in surface temperature. Temperature differences between patches of 6 and 3 K are explored with patch length scales ranging from one-half to twice the equivalent homogeneous boundary layer height. The surface temperature heterogeneity has important effects on the mean wind speed and potential temperature profiles as well as on the surface heat flux distribution. Increasing the difference between the patch temperatures results in decreased magnitude of the average surface heat flux, with a corresponding increase in the mean potential temperature in the boundary layer. The simulation results are also used to test existing models for average surface fluxes over heterogeneous terrain. The tested models fail to fully represent the average turbulent heat flux, with models that break the domain into homogeneous subareas grossly underestimating the heat flux magnitude over patches with relatively colder surface temperatures. Motivated by these results, a new parameterization based on local similarity theory is proposed. The new formulation is found to correct the bias over the cold patches, resulting in improved average surface heat flux calculations.

Impingement Cooling

The jet impingement cooling is always preferred over the other cooling methods due to its high heat removal capability. However, rapid quenching may lead to the formation of cracks and poor ductility to the quenched surface. Mist jet impingement cooling offers an alternative method to uncontrolled rapid cooling, particularly in steel and electronic industries. In mist cooling, the droplets are atomized by compressed air. Experiments are performed under transient conditions using two full-cone spray nozzles (Lechler Pneumatic atomizing nozzle 136.115.xx.A2 and 136.134.xx.A2) to study the effect of subcooling and nozzle diameter on surface heat flux. The hot surface used for the experiment is a stainless steel foil (AISI-304) of thickness 0.15mm. The initial surface temperature of the plate is maintained at 500±10°C with the help of an AC transformer. Infrared thermal image camera (A655sc, FLIR System) is used for data estimation. The IR camera and the nozzle are positioned on either side of the plate. The variation in surface temperature has been acquired at 8 different spatial points. It has been observed that that as we move away from the stagnation point then irrespective of air and water flow rates surface heat flux decreases. The maximum surface heat flux obtained at the stagnation point. With the increase in diameter surface heat flux increases irrespective of pressure values. The correlation between qm/qstag experimental and predicted values has been shown.

This paper addresses one-dimensional transient conduction in simple geometries. It is well known that the transient thermal responses of various objects, or of an infinite medium surrounding such objects, collapse to the same behavior as a semi-infinite solid at small dimensionless time. At large dimensionless time, the temperature reaches a steady state (for a constant surface temperature boundary condition) or increases linearly with time (for a constant heat flux boundary condition). The objectives of this paper are to bring together existing small and large time solutions for transient conduction in simple geometries, put them into forms that will promote their usage, and quantify the errors associated with the approximations. Approximate solutions in the form of simple algebraic expressions are derived (or compiled from existing solutions) for use at both small and large times. In particular, approximate solutions, which are accurate for Fo<0.2 and which bridge the gap between the large Fo (single-term) approximation and the semi-infinite solid solution (valid only at very small Fo), are presented. Solutions are provided for the surface temperature when there is a constant surface heat flux boundary condition, or for the surface heat flux when there is a constant surface temperature boundary condition. These results are provided in terms of a dimensionless heat transfer rate. In addition, the dimensionless energy input is given for the constant surface temperature cases. The approximate expressions may be used with good accuracy over the entire Fourier number range to rapidly estimate important features of the transient thermal response. With the use of the approximations, it is now a trivial matter to calculate the dimensionless heat transfer rate and dimensionless energy input, using simple closed-form expressions.
