The unique properties of superfluid helium (He II) make it a very efficient cooling agent for superconducting rotating machines. Steady and transient transport characteristics and design formulas for the cooling of superconducting windings are enumerated in this article. Several superfluid transport analytical models and useful design equations are discussed: laminar flow; turbulent flow; and pure superfluid flow under steady-state and transient conditions. An effort was made to consolidate all analytical models and experimental results into a common framework. Under conditions of steady He II transport, a dimensionless heat flux numberNq, a dimensionless driving force numberN∇T, and a characteristic length where used so that a generalized equation could be derived to describe superfluid transport in any geometry. In the case of transient transport of He II, a dimensionless heat flux numberNq∗and a dimensionless driving time numberNtwere used so that a generalized equation could be derived to describe transient superfluid transport in laminar flow and turbulent regimes. Many experimental data were compiled to substantiate the analysis.

Purpose In the present study, laminar steady flow of nanofluid through a trapezoidal channel is studied by using of finite volume method. The main aim of this paper is to study the effect of changes in geometric parameters, including internal and external dimensions on the behavior of heat transfer and fluid flow. For each parameter, an optimum ratio will be presented. Design/methodology/approach The results showed that in a channel cell, changing any geometric parameter may affect the temperature and flow field, even though the volume of the channel is kept constant. For a relatively small hydraulic diameter, microchannels with different angles have a similar dimensionless heat flux, while channels with bigger dimensions show various values of dimensionless heat flux. By increasing the angles of trapezoidal microchannels, dimensionless heat flux per unit of volume increases. As a result, the maximum and minimum heat transfer rate occurs in a trapezoidal microchannel with 75° and 30 internal’s, respectively. In the study of dimensionless heat flux rate with hydraulic diameter variations, an optimum hydraulic diameter (Dh) was observed in which the heat transfer rate per unit volume attains maximum value. Findings This optimum state is predicted to happen at a side angle of 75° and hydraulic diameter of 290 µm. In addition, in trapezoidal microchannel with higher aspect ratio, dimensionless heat flux rate is lower. Changing side angles of the channels and pressure drop have the same effect on pressure drop. For a constant pressure drop, if changing the side angles causes an increase in the rectangular area of the channel cross-section and the effect of the sides are not felt by the fluid, then the dimensionless heat flux will increase. By increasing the internal aspect ratio (t_2/t_3), the amount of t_3 decreases, and consequently, the conduction resistance of the hot surface decreases. Originality/value The effects of geometry of the microchannel, including internal and external dimensions on the behavior of heat transfer and fluid flow for pressure ranges between 2 and 8 kPa.

Good Agreement

The radial radiative heat flux and its divergence are determined both exactly and approximately for homogeneous suspensions of small particles. Scattering is assumed to be small compared to absorption and the absorption coefficient is taken to be inversely proportional to wavelength. The exact solution is reduced to an infinite series of single integrals. The optically thin and the next higher order behavior appear in closed form as the first two terms in the series. Two approximate solutions are also developed. One is in good agreement with the exact solution while the other is not. Finally, a closed form approximate relation is derived for the dimensionless heat flux at the surface. This expression, which also gives the emissivity or absorptivity of the medium, is in excellent agreement with the exact result.

The traditional thermal analysis of fins is based on the assumption of specified thermal boundary conditions at the base and tip of the fin. For situations when the fin base is in contact with a fluid experiencing condensation and the fin is required to remove the energy released by the fluid, the base is subjected to two boundary conditions: a fixed temperature and a fixed heat flux. This paper develops solutions for the temperature distribution in the fins under these conditions. Solutions are provided for rectangular, trapezoidal, and concave parabolic (finite tip thickness). Results illustrating the relationship between the dimensionless heat flux, the fin parameter, and dimensionless tip temperature are provided for all three geometries. The case of convective fin tip is also considered and lead to a relationship between the dimensionless heat flux, the fin parameter, and the Biot number at the tip. The results presented here provide tools that not only complement the traditional analyses but are believed to have more direct relevance for fin designers.

The two-dimensional quasi-steady conduction equation governing conduction controlled rewetting of an infinite slab, with one side flooded and the other side subjected to a constant heat flux, has been solved by Wiener-Hopf technique. The solution yields the quench front temperature as a function of various model parameters such as Peclet number, Biot number and dimensionless heat flux. Also, the critical (dryout) heat flux is obtained by setting the Peclet number equal to zero, which gives the minimum heat flux required to prevent the hot surface being rewetted.

Double Diffusive

This work is a parametric study of the fluxes of heat and salt across unsheared and sheared double-diffusive interfaces using one-dimensional-turbulence (ODT) simulations. It is motivated by the need to understand how these fluxes scale with parameters related to the fluid molecular properties and background shear. Comparisons are made throughout with previous models and available measurements. In unsheared interfaces, ODT simulations show that the dimensionless heat fluxNuscales with the stability parameterRρ, Rayleigh numberRaand Prandtl numberPrasNu~ (Ra/Rρ)0.37±0.03whenPrvaries from 3 to 100 and asNu~ (Ra/Rρ)0.31Pr0.22±0.04whenPrvaries from 0.01 to 1. HereRa/Rρcan be seen as the ratio of destabilizing and stabilizing effects. The simulation results also indicate that the ratio of salt and heat fluxesRfis independent ofPr, scales with the Lewis numberLeasRf~Le0.41±0.04whenRρis large enough and deviates from this expression for low values ofRρ, when the interface becomes heavily eroded. In sheared interfaces, the simulations show three flow regimes. When the Richardson numberRi≪ 1, shear-induced mixing dominates, the heat flux scales with the horizontal velocity difference across the interface andRf=Rρ. NearRi~ 1 the heat and salt fluxes are seen to increase abruptly as the shear increases. The flow structure and scaling of the fluxes are similar to those of unsheared interfaces whenRi≫ 1.

Tabular Method

Based on analysis of appropriate literary sources we established that estimation of fire separation distances was based of two criteria: heat flux and temperature. We proposed to use “ignition temperature of materials” as principal criterion when determining fire separation distances between adjacent construction facilities. Based on the results derived while performing complete factorial we created mathematical model to describe trend of changing fire separation distances depending on caloric power of fire load (Q), openings factor of the external enclosing structures (k) and duration of irradiation (t); moreover, its adequacy was confirmed. Based on linear regression equations we substantiated calculation and tabular method for the determination of fire separation distances for a facility being irradiated which contains combustible or otherwise non-combustible façade and a facility where liquid oil products turn. We developed and proposed general methodology for estimation of fire separation distances between construction facilities by calculation.

AbstractA mathematical model of the dynamics of the Baltic Sea is considered. A problem of variational assimilation of sea surface temperature (SST) data is formulated and studied. Based on variational assimilation of satellite observation data, an algorithm solving the inverse problem of heat flux restoration on the interface of two media is proposed. The results of numerical experiments reconstructing the heat flux functions in the problem of variational assimilation of SST observation data are presented. The influence of SST assimilation on other hydrodynamic parameters of the model is considered.

Natural ventilation of a model room with water as the fluid medium is studied. It is insulated by air gaps on the four sides and at the top. A constant heat flux has been maintained on the bottom surface of the room. This room is surrounded by a large exterior tank containing water. There are three openings each on two opposing sides of the model room. For any experiment, only one opening on each side is kept open. Fluid enters or leaves these openings and the flow is driven entirely by buoyancy forces. Shadowgraph technique is used for visualization. The buoyancy causes flow to enter through the bottom opening and leaves through the top opening. At the openings, buoyant jets are observed and which have higher or lower relative density compared with that of its environment. The buoyant jet at the inlet interacts with the plumes on the heated bottom plate. From these visualizations, it appears that free convection at bottom plate will be affected by the buoyant jets at the openings and the degree to which it is affected depends on the position and size of openings and distance between inlet and outlet. The flow rate due to the natural ventilation depends on the bottom surface heat flux and the height difference between the openings. The temperatures of the floor, the interior and the exterior are calculated using a simple mathematical model. The values of temperatures obtained in the experiments are reasonably well predicted by the mathematical model.
