Based on the theory of nonisothermal water-heat coupled transfer, a simulation model, programmed in Visual Basic 6.0, was developed to predict the coupled transfer of water and heat in hilly red soil. A series of soil column experiments for soil water and heat transfer, including soil columns with closed and evaporating top ends, were used to test the simulation model. Results showed that in the closed columns, the temporal and spatial distribution of moisture and heat could be very well predicted by the model, while in the evaporating columns, the simulated soil water contents were somewhat different from the observed ones. In the heat flow equation by Taylor and Lary (1964), the effect of soil water evaporation on the heat flow is not involved, which may be the main reason for the differences between simulated and observed results. The predicted temperatures were not in agreement with the observed one with thermal conductivities calculated by de Vries and Wierenga equations, so that it is suggested that Kh, soil heat conductivity, be multiplied by 8.0 for the first 6.5 h and by 1.2 later on. Sensitivity analysis of soil water and heat coefficients showed that the saturated hydraulic conductivity, KS, and the water diffusivity, D(θ), had great effects on soil water transport; the variation of soil porosity led to the difference of soil thermal properties, and accordingly changed temperature redistribution, which would affect water redistribution.展开更多

The heat transfer enhancement factor was found to increase with the jet-to-cross-flow mass ratio and the Reynolds number, but decrease with the jet diameter when other parameters maintain fixed. The presence of a cross flow was observed to degrade the heat transfer performance in respect to the effect of impinging jet to the target surface only. In addition, an impinging jet was confirmed to be capable of enhancing the heat transfer process in considerable amplitude even though the jet was not designed to impinge on the target surface.展开更多

This model is based on the discrete ordinates method and finite element theory. The finite element formulations and detailed steps of numerical calculation are given. The discrepancy of the results produced by different space and solid angle discretization is also investigated and compared. The effect of the six-node quadric element on the accuracy is analyzed by a 2D rectangular enclosure. These results indicate that the present model can simulate radiative transfer in multidimensional complex-geometric enclosure with participating media effectively and accurately.展开更多

The system consists of a suction pipe warm air fan and perforated pipes placed in the stone's accumulator. The accumulator used a bed of stone (porphyry-type stones of dimension in the range 37 mm to 65 ram). In the accumulator, there are four sections with dimensions of 1.7 m × 11 m, each of which contains a perforated pipe for hot air distribution within the battery, and separate conduits for supplying air to the interior of the tunnel. The paper presents the results of analysis related to performance (as a result of heat and mass transfer) in cycles of charging and discharging of the accumulator.展开更多

Head point testing of cooling device is monitoring temperature on the aluminium block of energy converter, heat pipes and ribs under temperature condition 30 ℃ in thermostatic chamber. Testing of the device was performed at tilt angles positions 0, 10 and 20° from the vertical level. The heat flux loaded to energy converter was 450 W. The next goal of the paper is to research on influence working position of the wick heat pipe on their thermal performance. In this research heat pipes were made with capillary structure sintered from copper powder granularity 100, 63 and 50 μm filled with water and ethanol. Next heat pipe thermal performance was performed by measuring heat source and working positions. Knowledge of these two research goals can bring potential improvements in purpose of cooling device for effective heat sink from high power electronic components.展开更多

For SiC whisker synthesis, the starting powder mix- ture is obtained by milling short carbon fibers with the white ashes of rice hulls. Calcina:ion in argon, together with the subse- quent purification process, results in a high yield of SiC whiskers, which possess a diameter of 200-400 nm and a length of several tens of microns. The formation of the whiskers is discussed according to VS growth mechanism. Convective heat transfer performance in small channel tubes is then studied for fluid systems mixed with those micro-sized SiC whiskers at different concentrations. The heat transfer coefficient of SiC containing fluid can be significantly improved in comparison to the base fluid.展开更多

Experiments were performed in eight short copper tubes length varied from 300 mm to 600 mm at mass fluxes range of 58–246 kg m-2s-1 and saturation temperature of 38℃. Effects of mass flux, tube length on condensation heat transfer coefficient were investigated. The distribution of temperature, thickness of condensate film and local condensation heat transfer coefficient along the tube were also analyzed.. It is indicated that the entrance effect played an important role in condensation heat transfer of vertical tube, and the influence of entrance effect on average condensation heat transfer coefficients will weaken with the length of tube in the experimental condensation. The experimental results were compared with four well known correlations available in literatures, and the Chen correlation shows good agreement with the experimental data but with ±40% deviation. A new modified condensation heat transfer correlation with 12.7% mean deviation was developed to predict the condensation heat transfer coefficients in short vertical tube based on the experimental data.展开更多
