Forced Convective Heat Transfer

In this study, forced convective heat transfer is considered in channel over a backward facing step having a baffle on the top wall. Four different geometries with different expansion ratios and different type of baffles are numerically investigated. The study clearly shows that the geometry with expansion ratio 2 and solid baffle has the highest Nusselt number compared to other geometries. Considering both Nusselt number and skin friction coefficient for all four geometries clearly illustrated an increase in average Nusselt number by increasing the expansion ratio. This study clearly shows that mounting a slotted baffle at the top wall instead of a solid baffle caused a decline in average Nusselt number. It is also found that for geometry with expansion ratio of 3 and a slotted baffle on the top of the channel, skin friction coefficient in both bottom wall and step wall has its minimal compared to other geometries.

Steady Laminar

Convective heat transfer for steady laminar flow between two concentric circular pipes with walls heated and/or cooled independently and subjected to uniform heat generation is presented in analytical closed form utilizing the linearized Navier-Stokes and energy equations. The flow field is hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. The effect of heat generation is depicted in Fig. 1 where the ratio of the Nusselt number with heat generation to without heat generation is plotted against the radius ratio, the core size ω. It is seen that heat generation may have positive as well as negative effect on the Nusselt number.

Non Gaussian

An analytical solution is presented to the heat equation in the vicinity of a surface fluid, heated by a modulated Gaussian Laser beam and taking into account three heat transfer modes: conduction, radiation and convection. A new calculation method is performed for profiling temperature inside a surface fluid. Comparison with several experimental profiles explains some unexpected temperature profile results as non-Gaussian behaviour.

Transfer Enhancement

An experimental study using the liquid crystal thermography technique is conducted to investigate the convective heat transfer performance in jet impingement cooling using various porous media configurations. Aluminum porous foams are used in the present study. Four impinging jet configurations are considered: jet impingement (1) without porous media, (2) over the porous heat sink, (3) with porous obstacle case, and (4) through porous passage. These configurations are evaluated on the basis of the convective heat transfer enhancement for two different Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700. Jet impingement with porous heat sink showed deterioration in the average Nusselt number by 9.95% and 18.04% compared to jet impingement without porous media configuration for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. Jet impingement with porous obstacles showed a very negligible enhancement in the average Nusselt number by 3.48% and 2.73% for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. However, jet impingement through porous passage configuration showed a maximum enhancement in the average Nusselt number by 52.71% and 74.68% and stagnation Nusselt numbers by 58.08% and 53.80% compared to the jet impingement without porous medium for Reynolds numbers of 400 and 700, respectively. Within the porous properties considered, it is observed that by decreasing the permeability and porosity the convective heat transfer performance tends to increase.
