The presence of particles causes positive enhancement of heat transfer in the case of high solid loading ratio, but heat transfer reduction has been found for in the case of very low solid loading ratio (M s of less than 0.05 kg/kg). A useful correlation incorporating solid loading ratio, particle size and flow Reynolds number was derived from experimental data. In addition, the k-ε two-equation model and the Fluctuation-Spectrum- Random-Trajectory Model (FSRT Model) are used to simulate the flow field and heat transfer of the gas-phase and the solid-phase, respectively. Through coupling of the two phases the model can predict the local and total heat transfer characteristics of tube in gas-solid cross flow. For the total heat transfer enhancement due to particles loading the model predictions agreed well with experimental data.展开更多

The ...A heat transfer model of furnace roller cooling process was established based on analysis of furnace roller's structure. The complicated model was solved with iteration planning algorithm based on Newton search. The model is proved logical and credible by comparing calculated results and measured data. Then, the relationship between water flow velocity, inlet water temperature, furnace temperature and roller cross section temperature, outlet water temperature, water temperature rise, cooling water heat absorption was studied. The conclusions and recommendations are mainly as follows: l) Cooling water temperature rise decreases with the increase of water flow velocity, but it has small relationship with inlet water temperature; 2) In order to get little water scale, inlet water temperature should be controlled below 30 ℃. 3) The cooling water flow velocity should be greater than critical velocity. The critical velocity is 0.07 m/s and water flow velocity should be controlled within 0.4-0.8 m/s. Within this velocity range, water cooling efficiency is high and water temperature rise is little. If cooling water velocity increases again, heat loss will increase, leading to energy wasting.展开更多

An advantage of zeotropic mixtures is the possibility of reduction in entropy generation by matching the temperature glidings of refrigerant and heat-transfer fluid in both condenser and evaporator. Zeotropic mixtures are compared with pure re-frigerants to evaluate their exergetic losses. On the other hand, the special phenomena which result from temperature gliding are proved by experiments. A simple equation is obtained, to evaluate dif-ferent zeotropic mixtures' exergetic losses. The maximum flow rate of heat-transfer fluids is found in order that refrigerants phase change can be completed. Lastly, some examples of zeotropic mix-tures ( R407C, R405A and R414B) are given, and their exergetic losses and maximum flow rate of heat-transfer fluids in condenser are forecasted.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

A transition from axisymmetric flow to nonoaxisymmetric flow and then back to axisymmetric flow again with increasing the crucible rotation rate is predicted. In the non-axisymmetric regime, the thermal wave induced by the combination of coriolis force, buoyancy and viscous force in the GaAs melt is predicted for the first time. The thermal wave is confirmed to be baroclinic thermal wave. The origin of the transition to non-axisymmetric flow is baroclinic instability. The critical parameters for the, transitions are presented, which are quantitatively in agreement with Fein and Preffer's experimental results, The calculated results can be taken as a reference for the growth of GaAs single-crystal of high quality,展开更多

The...A special device was designed to measure temperature difference in this study of heat transfer of water and oil cross flow inside vertical upward tubes. A new heat transfer correlation was obtained for cross flow. The experimental results showed that the dependence of heat transfer on Reynolds is much smaller in a narrow space than that in a wide space. It was found that the heat transfer correlation of cross flow in a narrow space is obviously different from that in a wide space, and that the heat transfer correlation obtained in a wide space may not be applicable to the cross-flow heat transfer in a narrow space. Further, the single-phase heat transfer capability of water cross flow was compared with that of oil cross flow. The experimental results showed that the average heat transfer coefficient of water is about 2~3 times that ofoil when they have the same superficial velocity.展开更多

For each cell the data cover a range of a little over a decade of Rayleigh number Ra and for all cells they jointly span the range 6x105 〈 Ra 〈1011. The two implicit equations of the Grossmann-Lohse (GL) model together with the empirical finite conductivity cor- rection factorf(X) were fitted to obtain estimates of Nu∞ in the presence of perfectly conducting plates, and the obtained Nu∞ is independent of the cells' aspect ratios. A combination of two-power-law, Nu∞= O.025Ra0.357+O.525Ra0.168, can be used to de- scribe Nu∞(Ra). The fitted exponents 0.357 and 0.168 are respectively close to the predictions 1/3 and 1/5 of the 11μ. and 1Vμ re- gimes of the GL model. Furthermore, a clear transition from the II. regime to the IVμ regime with increasing Ra is revealed.展开更多

The non-Newtonian flora of blood in small veins are examined mathematically by demonstrating the blood as Carreau fluid. The illustration for the blood flow is debated through an axially irregular but outward regular stenosis. Regularity in the dissemination of the fortification clipping stress and resistive impedance and their evolution with the emerging stenosis is a new significant feature of our investigation. Analytical solutions have been appraised for "velocity, tem- perature, concentration, resistance impedance, wall shear stress and shearing stress at the stenosis throat". The graphical consequences of different types of tapering arteries (i.e. "converging tapering, diverging tapering, non-tapered artery") have been studied for dissimilar constraints of attention. Rivulet shapes have been strategized for different parameters at the culmination of the article.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

It is well known that traditional fluids have limited heat transfer capabilities when compared to common metals. It is therefore quite conceivable that a small amount of extremely fine metallic particles placed in suspension in traditional fluids will considerably increase their heat transfer performances. A numerical investigation into the heat transfer enhancement capabilities of coolants with suspended metallic nanoparticles inside a radial, laminar flow cooling configuration is presented. Temperature dependant nanofluid properties are evaluated from experimental data available in recent literature. Results indicate that considerable heat transfer increases are possible with the use of relatively small volume fractions of nanoparticles. Generally, however, these are accompanied by considerable increases in wall shear-stress. Results also show that predictions obtained with temperature variable nanofluid properties yield greater heat transfer capabilities and lower wall shear stresses when compared to predictions using constant properties.展开更多

Hall effects, viscous dissipation and Joule heating are also taken into consideration. Mathematical model is presented by using the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The differential equations governing the flow are highly nonlinear and thus perturbation solution for small Weissenberg number (0 〈 We 〈 1) is presented. Effects of the heat and mass transfer Biot numbers and Hall parameter on the longitudinal velocity, temperature, concentration and pumping characteristics are studied in detail. Main observations are presented in the concluding section, The streamlines pattern and trapping are also given due attention.展开更多
