Temperature distribution of the incompletely mixed fluid flowing in the tubes and the unmixed fluid crossing over the tubes

A new model is established to describe heat exchanging of the incompletely mixed fluid flowing in the tubes and the unmixed fluid crossing out of the tubes in the heat-exchangers especially in air cooler. In the model, a new method of analyzing volume is proposed to develop the temperature distribution equations of the two fluids --tw（x） and ta（X,,7＂）. With tw（x） and ta （x, ,7）, the curves of the temperature distribution of the two fluids can be obtained. Also tw（x） and ta（x,n） can be used to calculate parameters of structure of an air cooler and to improve performances of it.

Numerical Optimization of Cooling Process of the Gas Turbine Blade

The paper presents a scheme of optimization of the cooling process of the gas turbine blade. As an optimization criterion has been taken into account on the outer surface temperature of the blade. Inverse problem is solved for stationary heat conduction in which beside the optimization criterion of the heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the blade the temperature distribution is known, and the values sought are the heat transfer coefficients and surface temperature of the cooling channels. This problem was solved by the boundary element method using SVD algorithm and Tikhonov regularization. The temperature and heat transfer coefficient of cooling channels obtained from the inverse problem was oscillating in nature. This solution is nonphysical, so the heat transfer coefficients on the surface of cooling channels were averaged. Then the problem was solved simply with averaged coefficients of heat transfer on the surface of the cooling channels and the known distribution on the outer surface of blade. The temperature distribution obtained from the solution of direct problem with averaged values of heat transfer coefficient was compared with the criterion of optimization.The calculation results obtained using the SVD algorithm gave the temperature distribution on the external wall of the blade closer to the criterion of optimization.

A Review of Heat Transfer Enhancement through Flow Disruption in a Microchannel

In this paper a comprehensive review of heat transfer enhancement through microchannels has been presented. Over the past few years due to multifunetion, shrinking package size and high power dissipation, the heat flux per unit area has increased significantly. Microchannels, with their large heat transfer surface to volume ratio and their small volumes, have shown a good thermal performance. Microchannels have been proven to be a high per- formaace cooling technique which is able to dissipate heat flux effectively from localized hot spots over small surface area. A good amount of heat transfer augmentation techniques have been reported on flow disruption through microchannel. These techniques promote free stream separation at the leading edge which results in boundary layer development and enhanced mixing leading to increased heat transfer. Flow disruption can be achieved through passive surface modifications, such as, shape of channel, dimple surfaces, ribs, cavities, groove structures, porous medium, etc. Combined effects of these geometrical configurations in heat transfer augmenta- tion are also reported in the literature. In this paper recent developments in experimental and numerical simula- tions of single-phase liquid cooled microchannel have been discussed to analyze the pressure drop, friction and heat transfer characteristics due to different flow conditions, roughness structure and passive surface modifica- tions. It has been observed that the flow disruption techniques are effective for heat transfer enhancement with lower penalties of increased pressure drop. The review concludes with suggestions for future research in this area.

Conjugate Heat Transfer Characterization in Cooling Channels

Cooling technology of gas turbine blades,primarily ensured via internal forced convection,is aimed towards withdrawing thermal energy from the airfoil.To promote heat exchange,the walls of internal cooling passages are lined with repeated geometrical flow disturbance elements and surface non-uniformities.Raising the heat transfer at the expense of increased pressure loss;the goal is to obtain the highest possible cooling effectiveness at the lowest possible pressure drop penalty.The cooling channel heat transfer problem involves convection in the fluid domain and conduction in the solid.This coupled behavior is known as conjugate heat transfer.This experimental study models the effects of conduction coupling on convective heat transfer by applying iso-heat-flux boundary condition at the external side of a scaled serpentine passage.Investigations involve local temperature measurements performed by Infrared Thermography over flat and ribbed slab configurations.Nusselt number distributions along the wetted surface are obtained by means of heat flux distributions,computed from an energy balance within the metal domain.For the flat plate experiments,the effect of conjugate boundary condition on heat transfer is estimated to be in the order of 3%.In the ribbed channel case,the normalized Nusselt number distributions are compared with the basic flow features.Contrasting the findings with other conjugate and convective iso-heat-flux literature,a high degree of overall correlation is evident.

An Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Characteristics for Steam Cooling in a Rectangular Channel with Parallel Ribs

An experimental study of heat transfer characteristics in superheated steam cooled rectangular channels with parallel ribs was conducted.The distribution of the heat transfer coefficient on the rib-roughed channel was measured by IR camera.The blockage ratio(e/Dh) of the tested channel is 0.078 and the aspect ratio(W/H) is fixed at3.0.Influences of the rib pitch-to-height ratio(P/e) and the rib angle on heat transfer for steam cooling were investigated.In this paper,the Reynolds number(Re) for steam ranges from 3070 to 14800,the rib pitch-to-height ratios were 8,10 and 12,and rib angles were 90°,75°,60°,and 45°.Based on results above,we have concluded that:In case of channels with 90° tranverse ribs,for larger rib pitch models(the rib pitch-to-height ratio=10 and12),areas with low heat transfer coefficient in front of rib is larger and its minimum is lower,while the position of the region with high heat transfer coefficient nearly remains the same,but its maximun of heat transfer coefficient becomes higher.In case of channels with inclined ribs,heat transfer coefficients on the surface decrease along the direction of each rib and show an apparent nonuniformity,consequently the regions with low Nusselt number values closely following each rib expand along the aforementioned direction and that of relative high Nusselt number values vary inversely.For a square channel with 90° ribs at Re= 14800,wider spacing rib configurations(the rib pitch-to-height ratio=10 and 12) give an area-averaged heat transfer on the rib-roughened surface about8.4%and 11.4%more than P/e=8 model,respectively;for inclined parallel ribs with different rib angles at Re=14800,the area-averaged heat transfer coefficients of 75°,60° and 45° ribbed surfaces increase by 20.1%,42.0%and 44.4%in comparison with 90° rib angle model.45° angle rib-roughened channel leads to a maximal augmentation of the area-averaged heat transfer coefficient in all research objects in this paper.
