The paper deals with the visualization of thermal fields above the sample body while observing thermal loading of wood. Via holographic interferometry, thermal fields were visualized in a non-contact manner and the values were recorded in 0, 3, 7 and 15 minutes or earlier in case of degradation. In real time, the ongoing processes were recorded in the thermal boundary layer above the surface of sample bodies in dimensions of 43 mm × 40 mm × 10 mm of beech wood in three different directions: longitudinal, radial, tangential cut. The temperatures of isothermal curves above the heated samples and coefficients of heat transfer α were determined by a quantitative analysis of holographic interferograms. The heat transfer coefficient α ranged within 4.6-7.4 W/m2K. The simulation of heat transfer for the selected samples was prepared by the Fluent programme. Consequently, the measured values from the experiments were compared with the calculated values. There is a correlation between the measured and calculated values.

This paper describes an investigation of the sensitivity of the heat transfer coefficient under the film to the state of the approach boundary layer for injection through a row of holes on a flat plate. The investigation is done for a range of blowing parameters using a heat-mass transfer analogy. Injection angles of 35 deg and 90 deg are covered. Additionally, for the same injection geometries, the effect of injection in the presence of mild adverse, mild favorable, and strong favorable mainstream pressure gradients is investigated. The results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient under the film is sensitive neither to the condition of the approach boundary layer nor to the presence of a mild adverse pressure gradient, but it is significantly lowered by a favorable pressure gradient, particularly at low blowing parameters.

The injection of film cooling can have a strong impact on the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) between the overflowing freestream gas and the cooled surface. This study investigated the influence of approach flow characteristics, including the boundary layer thickness and character (laminar and turbulent), as well as the approach flow Reynolds number, on the HTC. The influence of these parameters was previously unreported in the open film cooling literature. The figure of merit for this study was the HTC augmentation, that is the ratio of heat transfer coefficients for a cooled vs. uncooled surface. For this work, a direct measurement of the heat transfer coefficient was made, using a heated foil surface which provided a known wall heat flux. Generally for this type of measurement, a flux foil is placed downstream of the coolant hole. However, for this experimental program a heat flux foil was also placed upstream of the film cooling holes, in order to generate an upstream thermal boundary layer which would be more representative of actual engine conditions. Such a configuration has rarely been seen in published studies. An open-literature shaped-hole design was used, known as the 7-7-7 hole, in order to compare with existing results in the literature. A variety of blowing conditions were tested from M = 0.5–3.0. Two elevated density ratios of DR = 1.20 and DR = 1.80 were used. High-resolution IR thermography was used for these measurements, providing a highly-accurate and spatially-resolved measurement of HTC augmentation. The results indicated that turbulent boundary layer thickness had a modest effect on HTC augmentation, whereas a very high level of augmentation was observed for a laminar approach boundary layer. The presence of upstream heating greatly increased the HTC augmentation in the near-hole region, although these effects died out by 10–15 diameters from the holes.

In order to achieve a better understanding of the physical mechanism of interaction between free convection and sound, an experimental investigation of the local heat-transfer coefficient around the circumference of a heated horizontal cylinder, both in the presence and absence of a strong stationary sound field, has been carried out. The results show that superposition of intense sound upon the free-convection temperature-velocity field about a heated horizontal cylinder increases the heat-transfer coefficient both on the under and upper portions of the cylinder’s surface. In the presence of a sound field for which SPL = 146 db (re 0.0002 microbar) and f = 1500 cps, the maximum measured increases in the local heat-transfer coefficient on the under and upper portions of a 3/4-in-diam cylinder—relative to the free convection case at the same temperature potential—were found to be approximately 250 and 1200 per cent, respectively. A comparison of these results with earlier flow-visualization studies indicates that the relatively large percentage increase in the heat-transfer coefficient on the upper portion of the cylinder is caused by the oscillating vortex flow which is characteristic of thermoacoustic streaming. The reasons for the increase in the heat-transfer coefficient on the lower portion of the cylinder appear to be: (a) An increase in laminar boundary-layer velocities (steady components) in this region; and (b) modification of the boundary-layer temperature profile due to acoustically induced oscillations (unsteady components) within the laminar boundary layer. The experimental data presented can be used to check the validity of future analytical investigations of thermoacoustic phenomena.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to solve the velocity and temperature fields in the thermal boundary layer flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. Both the flow and heat transfer solutions are calculated accurately by the Laplace Adomian decomposition method, Padé approximant and the optimal design concept. The Laplace Adomian decomposition method (LADM) is a combination of the numerical Laplace transform algorithm with the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). A hybrid method of the LADM combined with the Padé approximant, named the LADM-Padé approximant technique, is introduced to solve the thermal boundary layer problems directly without any small parameter assumptions, linearizatons or transformations of the boundary value problems to a pair of initial value problems. The LADM-Padé approximant solutions here in are given to show the accuracy in comparison with different method solutions.

The influence of mainstream turbulence on surface heat transfer coefficients of a gas turbine blade was studied. A five-blade linear cascade in a low-speed wind tunnel facility was used in the experiments. The mainstream Reynolds numbers were 100,000, 200,000, and 300,000 based on the cascade inlet velocity and blade chord length. The grid-generated turbulence intensities at the cascade inlet were varied between 2.8 and 17 percent. A hot-wire anemometer system measured turbulence intensities, mean and time-dependent velocities at the cascade inlet, outlet, and several locations in the middle of the flow passage. A thin-foil thermocouple instrumented blade determined the surface heat transfer coefficients. The results show that the mainstream turbulence promotes earlier and broader boundary layer transition, causes higher heat transfer coefficients on the suction surface, and significantly enhances the heat transfer coefficient on the pressure surface. The onset of transition on the suction surface boundary layer moves forward with increased mainstream turbulence intensity and Reynolds number. The heat transfer coefficient augmentations and peak values on the suction and pressure surfaces are affected by the mainstream turbulence and Reynolds number.

Abstract The numerical simulations of the temperature fields have been accomplished for slab casting made of a low carbon steel. The casting process of slab of 1500 mm in width and 225 mm in height has been modeled. Two types of boundary condition models of heat transfer have been employed in numerical simulations. The heat transfer coefficient in the first boundary condition model was calculated from the formula which takes into account the slab surface temperature and water flow rate in each secondary cooling zone. The second boundary condition model defines the heat transfer coefficient around each water spray nozzle. The temperature fields resulting from the average in zones water flow rate and from the nozzles arrangement have been compared. The thermal stresses and deformations resulted from such temperature field have given higher values of fracture criterion at slab corners.

In this paper, high and low speed tip flows are investigated for a high-pressure turbine blade. Previous experimental data are used to validate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, which is then used to study the tip heat transfer in high and low speed cascades. The results show that at engine representative Mach numbers, the tip flow is predominantly transonic. Thus, compared with the low speed tip flow, the heat transfer is affected by reductions in both the heat-transfer coefficient and the recovery temperature. The high Mach numbers in the tip region (M>1.5) lead to large local variations in recovery temperature. Significant changes in the heat-transfer coefficient are also observed. These are due to changes in the structure of the tip flow at high speed. At high speeds, the pressure side corner separation bubble reattachment occurs through supersonic acceleration, which halves the length of the bubble when the tip-gap exit Mach number is increased from 0.1 to 1.0. In addition, shock/boundary-layer interactions within the tip gap lead to large changes in the tip boundary-layer thickness. These effects give rise to significant differences in the heat-transfer coefficient within the tip region compared with the low speed tip flow. Compared with the low speed tip flow, the high speed tip flow is much less dominated by turbulent dissipation and is thus less sensitive to the choice of turbulence model. These results clearly demonstrate that blade tip heat transfer is a strong function of Mach number, an important implication when considering the use of low speed experimental testing and associated CFD validation in engine blade tip design.

The paper focuses on the use of holographic interferometry in the research of thermal modification and its effect on the heat transfer from the wood surface to the surrounding air. In the experiment, spruce wood samples modified at 160 °C, 180 °C, 200 °C, 220 °C and an unmodified control sample were used. A radiant heat source was placed under the sample. The top of the sample represented the boundary where the observed heat transfer occurred. The temperature fields above the sample were visualized by real-time holographic interferometry and the heat transfer coefficient α was calculated from the obtained interferograms. During the heating of the samples, a decrease of the heat transfer coefficient was observed. The heat transfer coefficient of the control unmodified sample decreased from a maximum of α = 22.66 Wm–2K–1 to a minimum of α = 8.6 Wm–2K–1. In comparison with these values, the heat transfer coefficients of the modified samples treated at 160, 180, 200 and 220 °C, respectively, decreased to 99%, 93%, 68% and 51% of the maximal control value at the beginning of experiment and to 95%, 86%, 80% and 64% of the minimal control value by the end of the experiment. Moreover, an analysis of variance was used to determine the significance of the heat treatment effect on the heat transfer coefficient. A high significance (p < 5%) was observed between the control sample and the modified samples treated at 200 °C and 220 °C. Experiments with the use of holographic interferometry produced results consistent with previous studies conducted by different methods.

Abstract Most engineering applications have boundary layers; the convective transport of mass, momentum and heat normally occurs through a thin boundary layer close to the wall. It is essential to predict the boundary layer heat transfer phenomenon on the surface of various engineering machines through calculations. The experimental, analogy and numerical methods are the three main methods used to obtain convective heat transfer coefficient. The Reynolds analogy provides a useful method to estimate the heat transfer rate with known surface friction. In the Reynolds analogy, the heat transfer coefficient is independent of the temperature ratio between the wall and the fluid. Other methods also ignore the effect of the temperature ratio. This paper summarizes the methods of predicting heat transfer coefficients in engineering applications. The effects of the temperature ratio between the wall and the fluid on the heat transfer coefficient predictions are studied by summarizing the researches. Through the summary, it can be found that the heat transfer coefficients do show a dependence on the temperature ratio. And these effects are more obvious in turbulent flow and pointing out that the inaccuracy in the determination of the heat transfer coefficient and proposing that the conjugate heat transfer analysis is the future direction of development.
