An experimental and numerical study has been carried out for laminar forced convection in a long pipe heated by uniform heat flux and subjected to a reciprocating flow of air. Transient fluid temperature variations in the two mixing chambers connected to both ends of the heated section were measured. These measurements were used as the thermal boundary conditions for the numerical simulation of the hydrodynamically and thermally developing reciprocating flow in the heated pipe. The coupled governing equations for time-dependent convective heat transfer in the fluid flow and conduction in the wall of the heated tube were solved numerically. The numerical results for time-resolved centerline fuid temperature, cycle-averaged wall temperature, and the space-cycle averaged Nusselt number are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Based on the experimental data, a correlation equation is obtained for the cycle-space averaged Nusselt number in terms of appropriate dimensionless parameters for a laminar reciprocating flow of air in a long pipe with constant heat flux.

Numerical simulations of laminar, forced convection heat transfer for reciprocating, two-dimensional channel flows are performed as a function of the penetration length, Womersley (α) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral element formulation, which enables high-order spatial resolution with exponential decay of discretization errors, and second-order time-accuracy. Uniform heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions are imposed on certain regions of the top surface, while the bottom surface is kept insulated. Periodicity of velocity and temperature fields is imposed on the side boundaries, while the flow is driven by an oscillating pressure gradient. These sets of boundary conditions enable time-periodic solution of the problem. Instantaneous and time-averaged surface and bulk temperature distributions, and Nusselt number variations are presented. For high α flows, the temperature field is significantly affected by the Richardson’s annular effect. Overall, forced convection increases by increasing the penetration length, α and Pr. Corresponding steady-flow simulations are performed by matching the volumetric flowrate. For the limited parameter space investigated in this paper, steady unidirectional forced convection is more effective than the reciprocating flow forced convection.
