Local heat transfer enhancement induced by a piezoelectric fan in a channel with axial flow

The present work experimentally and numerically investigates the local heat transfer enhancement induced by a piezoelectric fan interacting with a cross flow in a local heated channel.The piezoelectric fan is placed along the flow direction and tested under different amplitudes and flow rates.In the simulations,a spring-based smoothing method and a local remeshing technique are used to handle the moving boundary problems.Hybrid mesh is used to reduce the size of dynamic mesh domain and to improve computational efficiency.The experimental and numerical values of the time-averaged mean Nusselt number are found to be in good agreement,with deviations of less than 10%.The experimental result shows that the heat transfer performance of the heated surfaces is substantially enhanced with a vibrating piezoelectric fan.The numerical result shows that the heat transfer enhancement comes from the strong longitudinal vortex pairs generated by the piezoelectric fan,which significantly promote heat exchange between the main flow and the near-wall flow.In the case of a=0.66(a is the dimensionless amplitude)and Re=1820,the enhancement ratio of the time-averaged mean Nusselt number reaches 119.9%.

The Local Atmosphere and the Turbulent Heat Transfer in the Eastern Himalayas

To understand the local atmosphere and heat transfer and to facilitate the boundary-layer parameterization of numerical simulation and prediction, an observational campaign was conducted in the Eastern Himalayas in June 2010. The local atmospheric properties and near-surface turbulent heat transfers were analyzed. The local atmosphere in this region is warmer, more humid and less windy, with weaker solar ra- diation and surface radiate heating than in the Middle Himalayas. The near-surface turbulent heat transfer in the Eastern Himalayas is weaker than that in the Middle Himalayas. The total heat transfer is mainly contributed by the latent heat transfer with a Bowen ratio of 0.36, which is essentially different from that in the Middle Himalayas and the other Tibetan regions.

Differentiation of Material Temperature through the Application of Increased Localized Dissolution via Heat Transfer

Increased temperature of a solution increases its solubility, allowing for a greater level of dissolution of the solute. A greater level of dissolution will result in a change in the density of the solution. When a localized area of the solution is of a different temperature, this will affect the localized density. Density is one of the factors affecting rate of sinking and the difference in temperature will lead to a change in the rate of sinking. Thus, when an object is at different temperatures, it will transfer heat to or from the solution in different manners and the rate of sinking will be different. This study tested whether sinking rate in a solution with excess solute could be used to judge the temperature of an object and the effect was confirmed with impure Graphite blocks in a Potassium Iodide solution.

Local Stability of Curzon-Ahlborn Cycle with Non-Linear Heat Transfer for Maximum Power Output Regime

The study of local stability of thermal engines modeled as an endoreversible Curzon and Ahlborn cycle is shown.

A semisum of two expressions of the efficiency found in the literature of finite time thermodynamics for the maximum power output regime is considered in order to make the analysis. Expression of variables for local stability and power output is found even graphic results for important parameters in the analysis of stability, and a phase plane portrait is shown.

This article investigates the colloidal study for water and ethylene glycol based nanofluids.The effects of Lorentz forces and thermal radiation are considered.The process of non-dimensionalities of governing equations is carried out successfully by means of similarity variables.Then,the resultant nonlinear nature of flow model is treated numerically via Runge-Kutta scheme.The characteristics of various pertinent flow parameters on the velocity,temperature,streamlines and isotherms are discussed graphically.It is inspected that the Lorentz forces favors the rotational velocity and rotational parameter opposes it.Intensification in the nanofluids temperature is observed for volumetric fraction and thermal radiation parameter and dominating trend is noted for γ-aluminum nanofluid.Furthermore,for higher rotational parameter,reverse flow is investigated.To provoke the validity of the present work,comparison between current and literature results is presented which shows an excellent agreement.It is examined that rotation favors the velocity of the fluid and more radiative fluid enhances the fluid temperature.Moreover,it is inspected that upturns in volumetric fraction improves the thermal and electrical conductivities.

Radiation heat transfer model for complex superalloy turbine blade in directional solidification process based on finite element method

For the sake of a more accurate shell boundary and calculation of radiation heat transfer in the Directional Solidification(DS) process, a radiation heat transfer model based on the Finite Element Method(FEM)is developed in this study. Key technologies, such as distinguishing boundaries automatically, local matrix and lumped heat capacity matrix, are also stated. In order to analyze the effect of withdrawing rate on DS process,the solidification processes of a complex superalloy turbine blade in the High Rate Solidification(HRS) process with different withdrawing rates are simulated; and by comparing the simulation results, it is found that the most suitable withdrawing rate is determined to be 5.0 mm·min^(-1). Finally, the accuracy and reliability of the radiation heat transfer model are verified, because of the accordance of simulation results with practical process.

Flow and heat transfer over hyperbolic stretching sheets

The boundary layer flow and heat transfer analysis of an incompressible viscous fluid for a hyperbolically stretching sheet is presented. The analytical and numer- ical results are obtained by a series expansion method and a local non-similarity （LNS） method, respectively. The analytical and numerical results for the skin friction and the Nusselt number are calculated and compared with each other. The significant observation is that the momentum and the thermal boundary layer thickness decrease as the distance from the leading edge increases. The well-known solution of linear stretching is found as the leading order solution for the hyperbolic stretching.

块石基底路基中局部非热平衡效应研究

块石作为一种高孔隙率、大粒径的多孔介质,因其可通过调节内部冷暖季节对流方式实现多年冻土路基降温,而被广泛应用于青藏铁路工程以减弱气候变暖及工程扰动对多年冻土路基的影响。因此,精准描述块石路基结构换热机理并模拟其长期热防护效应十分重要。在一些领域内,已经证明使用局部非热平衡(LTNE)可以提升多孔介质的计算精度,但在块石结构孔隙尺度下的传热效能计算中仍较少使用。其中,多孔介质内部流固换热系数(hsf)是LTNE能量方程中重要的参数,该系数如何选取也决定着模型计算的准确性。本文以块石基底路基为例,通过数值模拟方法,将传统路基使用的局部热平衡(LTE)模型与LTNE模型的模拟结果与实测数据进行对比,并分析了不同经典hsf对块石结构换热的影响。研究结果表明,块石基底路基局部非热平衡效应明显:模拟结果显示LTNE模型中,同一时间内块石与空气温度不相等,空气与块石在夏季和冬季的最大温差高达1.54℃和0.80℃;LTNE的模拟结果与实测数据更为接近,且LTE模型的降温幅度略高于预期,二者在2 m、5 m、10 m处的年平均误差百分数分别相差6%、1%和8%;不同研究者(Achenbach、Wakao、Dixon等、Pallares等)得出的hsf在块石路基中变化趋势相近,峰值差异明显,但对块石路基下部土体温度的影响较小。
