The research objective is to assemble a convection test system which acts as a heat exchanger (HE) and test its applicability using ethylene glycol. A Double Pipe (DP)-type HE consists of an inner pipe surrounded by an outer pipe (annulus) whereas a Coil-type HE composed of a coil surrounded by an outer pipe. Water flows through the outer pipe in both types of HE, while ethylene glycol flows through the inner piper or coil. HE in combination with other components (such as) forms a convection test system. The applicability of the system was tested to determine the heat transfer coefficient of ethylene glycol in a DP-type and Coil-type HEs. After that, the heat transfer rate was calculated and compared. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient in the DP-type HE is the lowest at 12.2 W/m2 oC and the highest at 26.8 W/m2 oC; and the corresponding heat transfer rate is the lowest at 8.3 W and the highest is 56.3 W. In comparison, for Coil-type HE, the lowest heat transfer coefficient is 38.9 W/m2 oC and the highest is 66.2 W/m2 oC which correspond to the heat transfer rate 19.9 W at the lowest and 225 W at the highest.

Experimental results of the total heat transfer coefficient between 12.7 mm dia copper tubes with four different rough surfaces and glass beads of three different sizes as taken in a 0.305 m × 0.305 m square fluidized bed as a function of fluidizing velocity are reported. The comparison of results for the rough and technically smooth tubes suggests that the heat transfer coefficient strongly depends on the ratio of pitch (Pf) to the average particle diameter (dp), where Pf is the distance between the two corresponding points on consecutive threads or knurls. By the proper choice of (Pf/dp) ratio, the maximum total heat transfer coefficient for V-thread tubes (hwfb) can be increased by as much as 40 percent over the value for a smooth tube with the same outside diameter. However, for values of (Pf/dp) less than 0.95, the maximum heat transfer coefficient for the V-thread rough tubes is smaller than the smooth tube having the same outside diameter. The qualitative variation of the heat transfer coefficient for rough tubes with (Pf/dp) is explained on the basis of the combined effect of contact geometry between the solid particles and the heat transfer surface, and the solids renewal rate at the surface. The present findings are critically compared with somewhat similar investigations from the literature on the heat transfer from horizontal or vertical rough tubes and tubes with small fins.

Heat transfer studies in a coiled agitated vessel with varying heat input is presented using two agitators namely propeller and disk turbine. Heat transfer rate increases with agitator speed for both the agitators for a given heat input. The heat transfer coefficient also increases with heat input for a given agitator speed for turbine agitator for all the heat inputs, whereas for propeller it is increasing up to a certain value and then decreases. The heat transfer coefficient (heat transfer rate) for turbine agitator is higher than that for propeller for all heat inputs. Empirical correlations separately were formed for each agitator and found to fit the experimental values within range of ±15% for both the agitators.

Counter-current (vessel–vessel) heat transfer has been postulated as one of the most important heat transfer mechanisms in living systems. Surprisingly, however, the accurate quantification of the vessel–vessel, and vessel–tissue, heat transfer rates has never been performed in the most general and important case of a finite, unheated/heated tissue domain with noninsulated boundary conditions. To quantify these heat transfer rates, an exact analytical expression for the temperature field is derived by solving the 2-D Poisson equation with uniform Dirichlet boundary conditions. The new results obtained using this solution are as follows: first, the vessel–vessel heat transfer rate can be a large fraction of the total heat transfer rate of each vessel, thus quantitatively demonstrating the need to accurately model the vessel–vessel heat transfer for vessels imbedded in tissues. Second, the vessel–vessel heat transfer rate is shown to be independent of the source term; while the heat transfer rates from the vessels to the tissue show a significant dependence on the source term. Third, while many previous studies have assumed that (1) the total heat transfer rate from vessels to tissue is zero, and/or (2) the heat transfer rates from paired vessels (of different sizes and at different temperatures) to tissue are equal to each other the current analysis shows that neither of these conditions is met. The analytical solution approach used to solve this two vessels problem is general and can be extended for the case of “N” arbitrarily located vessels.

The SEED (Swirled Enthalpy Equilibrium Device) process was used to produce semi-solid slurries. One of the factors that controls whether or not a slug can be used to produce high quality castings is the solid fraction distribution within the slug, and the solid fraction distribution is strongly dependent upon the temperature distribution. In this study, a model has been developed using ProCAST to investigate the relationship between process parameters and the temperature distribution within slugs. The parameters examined included the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and slug, the heat transfer coefficient between the crucible and air, the slug diameter, and the initial melt temperature (pouring temperature). It was found that the most important parameters controlling the temperature distribution within slugs were the crucible size and the heat transfer coefficient between crucible and air. Adjustment of other parameters had little influence on the temperature distribution. Processing parameters will be discussed in order to allow the SEED process to be used for the production of large diameter slugs (>100 mm), and for narrow freezing range (0.3<fs<0.5, fs is fraction solid) alloys such as 6063.

This paper presents the heat transfer and fluid dynamics analysis of a horizontal channel formed by parallel plates with periodic insertions of heated blocks, having curved deflectors to direct the flow. The heat transfer coefficient investigated is compared with that of the horizontal channel without deflectors. The aim of the deflectors is to lead the fluid to the space between the heated blocks increasing the dynamics in this area. This zone will normally, without deflectors, become a stagnant fluid zone in which low energy transfer rate occurs. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient is larger as compared to that of the case without deflectors. The increment in the heat transfer coefficient is due primarily to the fluid motion stirred in the area between the heated block due to the deflectors. However, it must be pointed out. This implementation also increases the pressure drop in the channel.

This article provides an experimental method to study the thermal performance of a heat sink with two pairs (outer and inner pair) of embedded heat pipes. The proposed method can determine the heat transfer rate of the heat pipes under various heating power of the heat source. A comprehensive thermal resistance network of the heat sink is also developed. The network estimates the thermal resistances of the heat sink by applying the thermal performance test result. The results show that the outer and inner pairs of heat pipes carries 21% and 27% of the total heat transfer rate respectively, while 52% of the heating power is dissipated from the base plate to the fins. The dominated thermal resistance of the heat sink is the base to heat pipes resistance which is strongly affected by the thermal performance of the heat pipes. The total thermal resistance of the heat sink shows the lowest value, 0.23°C/W, while the total heat transfer rate of the heat sink is 140W and the heat transfer rate of the outer and inner pairs of heat pipes is 30W and 38 W, respectively.

Most of the cracks on concrete dam are external ones, while external heat preservation is an important measure to prevent cracking. In order to obtain the actual thermal parameters, according to thermal conduction theory and the temperature distribution conditions of optical fiber on concrete surface, the surface temperature distribution of concrete pouring deck was real-time monitored by setting optical fiber in different depths; then the surface heat flux of mass concrete was calculated, thereby the equivalent surface heat transfer coefficient, which varied as time goes, was inversed. It is indicated that the inversion process is relatively simple and reliable, and the heat transfer coefficient obtained can well reflect the real performance of the insulation materials. Meanwhile, it is also indicated that the heat transfer coefficient of equivalent surface varies as time goes, which can contribute to back analysis calculation and actual engineering practice.

A mathematical model predicting heat transfer and film thickness in thin-film region is developed herein. Utilizing dimensionless analysis, analytical solutions have been obtained for heat flux distribution, total heat transfer rate per unit length, location of the maximum heat flux and ratio of conduction thermal resistance to convection thermal resistance in the evaporating film region. These analytical solutions show that the maximum dimensionless heat flux is constant which is independent of the superheat. Maximum total heat transfer rate is determined for a given film region. The ratio of conduction thermal resistance to convection thermal resistance is a function of dimensionless film thickness. This work will lead to a better understanding of heat transfer and fluid flow occurring in the evaporating film region.

An existing three-dimensional Navier–Stokes code (Arnone et al., 1991), modified to include film cooling considerations (Garg and Gaugler, 1994), has been used to study the effect of coolant velocity and temperature distribution at the hole exit on the heat transfer coefficient on three film-cooled turbine blades, namely, the C3X vane, the VKI rotor, and the ACE rotor. Results are also compared with the experimental data for all the blades. Moreover, Mayle’s transition criterion (1991), Forest’s model for augmentation of leading edge heat transfer due to free-stream turbulence (1977), and Crawford’s model for augmentation of eddy viscosity due to film cooling (Crawford et al., 1980) are used. Use of Mayle’s and Forest’s models is relevant only for the ACE rotor due to the absence of showerhead cooling on this rotor. It is found that, in some cases, the effect of distribution of coolant velocity and temperature at the hole exit can be as much as 60 percent on the heat transfer coefficient at the blade suction surface, and 50 percent at the pressure surface. Also, different effects are observed on the pressure and suction surface depending upon the blade as well as upon the hole shape, conical or cylindrical.
