Numerical simulations are applied to study the flow field and temperature distributions inside the EGR cooler. Three different models of EGR cooler are investigated, among which model A is a traditional one, and models B and C are improved by adding a helical baffle in the cooling area. In models B and C the entry directions of cooling water are different, which mostly influences the flow resistance. The results show that the improved structures not only lengthen the flow path of the cooling water, but also enhance the heat exchange rate between the cool and hot media. In conclusion we suggest that the improved structures are more powerful than the traditional one.展开更多

This wide usage is obviously due to significant benefits of these heat exchangers over other types. In this article, a behavioral analysis of heat transfer in fiat plates of these heat exchangers in laminar flow situation through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation using FLUENT 6.3.26 software is done. The study reveals results graphically based on fluid's behavior in co-current and counter current flows and discusses thermal indexes consisting of heat transfer coefficient, Nusslet and total heat flux in both conditions. Eventually, a comparison via the graphical results is presented between the two types of flow directions.展开更多

The term of heat absorption/generation is incorporated in the mathematical modeling of present flow problem. The governing mathematical expressions are solved for velocity and temperature profiles using RKF 45 method along with shooting technique. The importance of arising nonlinear quantities namely velocity, temperature, skin-friction and temperature gradient are elaborated via plots. It is explored that the Casson parameter retarded the liquid velocity while it enhances the fluid temperature. Fhrther, we noted that temperature and thickness of temperature boundary layer are weaker in case of Cattaneo-Christov heat diffusion model when matched with the profiles obtained for Fourier's theory of heat flux.展开更多

The results show that the influence of viscous heating on the entransy loss associated with heat transfer can not be neglected for the liquids having large dynamic viscosity. The viscous heating effect maintains the heat transfer ability of the working fluids, relatively reduces the entransy loss in heat exchangers; the viscous heating effect relatively augments the entropy generation due to heat transfer and the available energy destruction in heat exchangers. For the working fluid having large dynamic viscosity, the increasing rates of the entransy and entropy generation contributed by the viscous heating are even larger than those contributed by heat transfer, when the mass flow rate of working fluid reaches a certain value under the fixed heat transfer area condition. Thus, the entransy loss rate decreases and the growth rate of entropy generation increases as the mass flow rate of the working fluid increases. Under the same other conditions, the heat transfer entransy loss rate and entropy generation rate per unit heat transfer rate obtained when the fluid having a smaller heat capacity rate is cold fluid are less than those obtained when the fluid having a smaller heat capacity rate is hot fluid.展开更多

Based on thermal imaging technology of micro-area, the temperature rise resulted from the viscous dissipation in microtube is measured by employing IR camera with a specially magnifying lens at different Reynolds numbers. A 2-D model adapted to microtube is presented to simulate the viscous dissipation characteristic considering electric double layer effect (EDL). The investigation shows the calculating results are in rough agreement with the experimental data if removing the experimental uncertainties. Based on the experimental and the numerical simulation results, a viscous dissipation number which can describe the law of the viscous heating in microtube is summed up and it explains the abnormity of the flow resistance in microtubes.展开更多

Different wave amplitudes and phases ensure asymme- try in the channel flow configuration. Simultaneous effects of heat and mass transfer are also considered. Viscous dissipation effect is present. The flow and heat transfer are investigated under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumption. The expres- sions for stream function, axial velocity, temperature and concentration are obtained. The solution expressions for physical quantities are sketched and discussed. It is found that Brinkman and Hartman numbers have reverse effect on the temperature.展开更多
