Heat Transfer in Horizontal Copper Tube Heated by Electric Heating Process

Heat transfer from electrical and electronics component is essential for better performance of that electrical system,The maximum heat transfer from that system results long period durability.In most of the system base provided for equipments are very small and placed in a very complicated position.so heat transfer by forced convection is not easy for that purpose.The heat transfer by natural convection is the familiar technique used in electronics cooling;there is huge group of apparatus that lends itself to natural convection.This category consist of stand-alone correspondence such as modems and small computers having an array of printed circuit boards(PCB)accumulate within an area.Natural convection heat transfer in heated horizontal duct drive away heat from the interior surface is offered.The duct is open-ended and round in cross section.The test section is heated by provision of heating coils,where constant wall heat flux mentioned.Heat transfer experiment is carried out for channel of 50 mm.internal diameter and 4 mm thickness with length 600 mm.Ratios of length to diameter of the channel are taken as L/D=12.Wall heat fluxes maintained at q//=300 W/m2 to 3150 W/m2.A methodical investigational record for the local steady state natural convection heat transfer activities is obtained.The wall heating condition on local steady-state heat transfer phenomena are studied.The present experimental data is compared with the existing theoretical and experimental results for the cases of vertical smooth tubes.

采用浅型盘管束的循环强化液罐加热研究

Heavy fuel oils require heated tanks to facilitate their transportation and processing.This paper proposes and investigates threeand four-level heating coil bundles.Numerical study revealed that powerful large-scale circulation of the heated fluid enhances heat transfer,delivering 16.7%and 23%improvements to the average heat transfer coefficient for the three-and four-level bundles,respectively.Furthermore,this circulation improves oil mixing and limits the variation in bulk oil temperature to-0.3 to+1.3°C from the average.The study also quantified oil flow velocity near the bottom of the tank.The time-averaged horizontal components of velocity,estimated 25 mm and 50 mm above the bottom of the tank,exceed 2 mm/s and 4 mm/s,respectively.The proposed heating coil bundles feature a compact design that reduces the material and labor costs of construction and that,by occupying only a small portion of the bottom of the tank,improves accessibility,maintenance,and cleaning.

Application of a Lumped Multi-Section Model for Analyzing the Thermal Performance of a Small-Scale Biomass Boiler

The stationary lumped-cell model was developed and used to simulate the thermal characteristics of domestic biomass boiler with helically coiled tube heat exchanger(HCHE).The device serves as the heat source for ORC(Organic Rankine Cycle)unit and utilizes the thermal oil as the medium transferring the heat to the unit.Most of studies available in the literature refer to the CFD simulations for water flow in tube coils or in one-or two-turn coil elements.These investigations are basically focused on the determination of Nusselt number.The proposed herein model aims at determining the thermal performance of flue gas-oil HCHE while providing low CPU time.To demonstrate the model possibilities,it was used to predict the flue gas temperatures at the inlet and outlet from the heat exchange zone,based on measurement data regarding the outlet temperature of thermal oil.Six test series were considered.The computation results appeared to be in satisfactory agreement with experimental results(the discrepancies do not exceed 12%).The investigations showed that the used approach may be recommended as an alternative method that allows for fast prediction of thermal parameters for units of complex geometries,in particular the multi-coil heat exchangers.
