The Heat Transfer Coefficient

In this project, the flow distribution for air and water, and the enhancement of the heattransfer coefficient are experimentally studied. Experimental studies have been performed totest the influence of discharge, pitch, the height of ribs at a constant heat flux on thetemperature and pressure distributions. Along the channel of the test and the heat transfercoefficient, the water volume flow rate was about (5-12 L/min), the air volume flow rate wasabout (5.83-16.66 L/min), and heat were (80, 100,120, watt). An experimental rig wasconstructed within the test whole system. On the other hands, the channel has a divergentsection with an angle =15o with vertical axis. The study included changing in the ribs heightby using three values (12, 15, 18 mm) and changing the ribs pitch into three values (5, 8, 10mm).The results indicated an increasing in the local heat transfer coefficient as a result ofincreasing the discharge. While there was an inverse influence for the temperature distributionalong the test channel which drops when the discharge rise. The results also confirm that theincreasing in the pitch distance leads to reduce the heat transfer coefficient. Increasing theribs height increases the coefficient of heat transfer. However, the experiment heat transfercoefficient improves about (15.6 %) when the water volume flow rate increased from (5 to 12L/min), and about (18.7%) when the air volume flow rate increased from (5.83 to 16.66L/min). The best heat transfer coefficient was about (35.6 %) which can be achieved whenthe pitch decreased from (10 to 5mm). The increasing of the height from (12 to 18) mmimproves the heat transfer coefficient about (11.2 %). The best rib dimension was 18 mmheight, and 5 mm pitch, which give a maximum heat transfer coefficient (1212.02 W/m2. oC).

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

In this study, the cooling performance of nanofluids in car radiators was investigated. A car radiator, temperature measuring instrument, and other components were used to set up the experimental device, and the temperature of nanofluids passing through the radiator was measured by this device. Three kinds of nanoparticles, γ-Al2O3, α-Al2O3, and ZnO, were added to propylene glycol to prepared nanofluids, and the effects of nanoparticle size and type, volume concentration, initial temperature, and flow rate were tested. The results indicated that the heat transfer coefficients of all nanofluids first increased and then decreased with an increase in volume concentration. The ZnO-propylene glycol nanofluid reached a maximum heat transfer coefficient at 0.3 vol%, and the coefficient decreased by 25.6% with an increase in volume concentration from 0.3 vol% to 0.5 vol%. Smaller particles provided a better cooling performance, and the 0.1 vol% γ-Al2O3-propylene glycol nanofluid had a 19.9% increase in heat transfer coefficient compared with that of α-Al2O3-propylene glycol. An increase in flow rate resulted in a 10.5% increase in the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.5 vol% α-Al2O3-propylene glycol nanofluid. In addition, the experimental temperature range of 40–60°C improved the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.2 vol% ZnO-propylene glycol nanofluid by 46.4%.

AbstractNanofluid as a transport medium displays a great potential in engineering applications involving heat transfer. In this paper, the execution of water and ethylene glycol-based TiO2 nanofluid as a radiator coolant is resolved experimentally. The convective heat transfer coefficient of TiO2/EG-Water nanocoolant has been estimated and contrasted with the information acquired experimentally. Nanocoolant were set up by taking 25% ethylene glycol and 75% water with low volume concentration of TiO2 nanoparticles. All the experiments were led for the distinctive volume flow rates in the range going from 30 to 180 L/h (LPH). The nanocoolant made to flow through curved radiator tubes in every experiment, so that it can exchange heat effectively. Result shows that increasing the volume flow rate of nanocoolant flowing in the radiator tubes, increases the heat transfer as well as the convective heat transfer coefficient of nanocooant. Maximum heat transfer enhancement of 29.5% was recorded for nanocoolant with 0.03% nanoparticle concentration as compared to water at 150 LPH. Apart from this nanoparticle concentration into the base fluid, no further enhancement in heat transfer has been observed at any volume flow rate.

This article deals with the problem of heat energy transfer from a steam-gas mixture with a constant temperature of 220 °C. An experimental study of the transfer of heat energy from a steam-gas mixture by a recuperative heat exchanger with a ribbed surface at the industrial enterprise “PULP Invest”, located at the production site of the industrial park Technopolis “Khimgrad” in Kazan, is presented. The design of a heat exchanger with a ribbed surface is described. The finned surface of the recuperative heat exchanger allowed intensifying the transfer of heat flow, due to the appearance of turbulent vortices of the vapor-gas medium when it moves between the transversely arranged fins. For a heated heat carrier, water was used, which in the future is planned to be used for technological and economic needs. This paper presents the experimental method and measuring instruments. During the experiments, the initial temperature of the cold coolant (water) varied from 28.8 to 31.9 °C. The series of experiments included 7 experiments with a different volume flow of water from 60 to 120 liters/hour. The initial volume flow rate was 60 l/h, the flow rate change step was 10 l/h. The results of the studies showed that the time of the output of the studied parameters: temperature head, heat flow and heat transfer coefficient to the stationary mode was 265 s. When entering the stationary mode with a volume flow rate of cold coolant in the range from 60 to 120 l/h, the temperature head varied from 32.2 to 63 °C, the heat flow varied from 4.1 to 4.5 kW, the heat transfer coefficient varied in the range of 24.4-27.9 W/(m2 · K). The obtained results allowed establishing that the heat transfer coefficient is inversely proportional to the thermal resistance of the vapor-gas phase.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

In a heat pipe, operating fluid saturates wick structures system and establishes a capillary-driven circulation loop for heat transfer. Thus, the thermophysical properties of the operating fluid inevitably impact the transitions of phase-change mode and the capability of heat transfer, which determine both the design and development of the associated heat pipe systems. This article investigates the effect of liquid properties on phase-change heat transfer. Two different copper wick structures, cubic and cylindrical in cross section, 340 μm in height and 150 μm in diameter or width, are fabricated using an electroplating technique. The phase-change phenomena inside these wick structures are observed at various heat fluxes. The corresponding heat transfer characteristics are measured for three different working liquids: water, ethanol, and Novec 7200. Three distinct modes of the phase-change process are identified: (1) evaporation on liquid–vapor interface, (2) nucleate boiling with interfacial evaporation, and (3) boiling enhanced interface evaporation. Transitions between the three modes depend on heat flux and liquid properties. In addition to the mode transition, liquid properties also dictate the maximum heat flux and the heat transfer coefficient. A quantitative characterization shows that the maximum heat flux scales with Merit number, a dimensionless number connecting liquid density, surface tension, latent heat of vaporization, and viscosity. The heat transfer coefficient, on the other hand, is dictated by the thermal conductivity of the liquid. A complex interaction between the mode transition and liquid properties is reflected in Novec 7200. In spite of having the lowest thermal conductivity among the three liquids, an early transition to the mode of the boiling enhanced interface evaporation leads to a higher heat transfer coefficient at low heat flux.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

An experimental investigation of the heat-transfer coefficient to a spherical probe in a cyclone-bed chamber with fluidized bed in the “cold” and “hot” regimes has been carried out. The heat-transfer coefficient was determined by the regular thermal regime. The dependences of the heat-transfer coefficient in the vortex-bed furnace on the various parameters: the diameter of the outlet hole, the air flow rate, the share of the bottom blast and the location of the probe were determined. It is revealed that in the “cold” regime the heat-transfer coefficient has practically constant value in the radial direction, it almost does not depend on the diameter of the outlet hole and the share of the bottom blast and depends significantly on the position of the probe along the height of the furnace and the air flow rate. The effect of flow swirling on the heat-transfer coefficient in a cyclone-bed chamber with fluidized bed is determined. When the fuel burns (“hot” regime), the heat-transfer coefficient is not constant in the radial direction and accept the maximum values in the central area of the chamber. At the same time, the part of conductive-convective component in the total heat-transfer coefficient to the spherical probe, depending on its radial position, is estimated at 40–70 %. The results can be used in the design and creation of modern high-efficiency furnaces for burning local solid biofuels.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The object of research is the process of concentrating fruit and vegetable purees in an improved rotary film evaporator. The existing hardware design of traditional processes for processing fruits and vegetables, as a rule, is not unified enough, inconvenient in operation and is designed for high productivity. Concentration of fruit and vegetable purees occurs mainly in vacuum evaporators of periodic and continuous operation at a temperature of 60–80 °C under vacuum, which allows them to significantly preserve their nutritional value. But the duration of the process remains very significant (in devices of periodic action up to 75–90 minutes). One of the most problematic areas in the concentration of fruit and vegetable raw materials is significant losses of biologically active substances. At the same time, an important indicator of the quality of the process of concentrating pasty fruit and vegetable pastes is the value of the heat transfer coefficient, which characterizes the efficiency of the heat transfer method and the design features of the mixing device, taking into account the thermophysical characteristics of the product. To create conditions for conducting research to determine the heat transfer coefficient, it is necessary to use instrumentation with precise regulation of the necessary technological parameters. To study the heat transfer coefficient when concentrating fruit and vegetable purees, an automatic installation of an improved rotary evaporator was designed. The improvement of the rotary film evaporator (RFE) is carried out due to the lower location of the separating space by installing a screw discharge of the paste and preheating the output puree with secondary steam. The experimental dependences of the heat transfer coefficient on the product flow rate make it possible to determine the rational values of the flow rate of the RFE feedstock at various values of the rotor shaft speed. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient is influenced to a large extent by the product consumption, and the rotor speed acts to a lesser extent, only the relative speed of fluid passage around the developed hinged blade changes. It is found that when the frequency changes from 0.3 to 1.7 s–1, an increase in the heat transfer coefficient by 1.45 times is observed, which is explained by a more intensive degree of mixing of the product by the blades.

The paper provides the results of experimental and theoretical test of a wavy fin and tube heat exchanger used to cool air in a ventilation system when the wavy fin of the heat exchanger is dry and wet. The experimental tests, performed in the range of 1000<Re<4500 of the Reynolds number applying LMTD-LMED methodology, determined the dependency of the heat transfer coefficient on the supplied air flow rate with the varying geometry of the heat exchanger (the number of tube rows, the distance between fins, the thickness of the fin and the diameter of the tube). The experimental tests were performed on 9 heat exchangers in heating and 6 heat exchangers in cooling mode. After processing the results of the experimental tests, empirical equation defining the characteristics of the heat transfer coefficient of all heat exchangers were derived. The maximum heat transfer coefficient deviation is 11.6 percent. The correction factor of the wet fin (Lewis number) depending on the number of Reynolds, which ranges from 0.75 to 1.1 also is determined. Maximum capacity deviation equals 3.7 percent. The obtained equations can only be applied to a certain group of heat exchangers (with the same shape of fins or the distance between the tubes). The results of the experimental test and simulation with ANSYS program are compared and the heat transfer coefficients vary from 6.5 to 11.4 percent.

Abstract Heat transfer coefficient has an important influence on the flow and heat transfer of supercritical water in the core channels. The effects of different factors and their interactions on the heat transfer coefficient of the supercritical water were studied by full factorial experimental design method, such as pressure, mass flow rate, heat flux, and inlet temperature. The results show that: Within the range of the tested working conditions, effect D (inlet temperature), effect B (mass flow rate) and effect A (pressure) had a significant impact on the heat transfer coefficient, where the percentage contribution of effect D was 48.21%; effect B was 21.58%; effect A was 15.1%. The percentage contribution of other factors and their interactions on the heat transfer coefficient of the supercritical water can be ignored. At the same time, a prediction formula of heat transfer coefficient on supercritical water was fitted, and it was found that the prediction error of this formula conformed to the assumption of normality, and the prediction error was 10.5%.

Abstract Empirical correlations are developed for rewetting velocity and maximum heat transfer coefficient during rewetting phase of single hot vertical Fuel Pin Simulator (FPS) by using radial jet impingement and falling film. Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) has been designed for Advance Heavy water Reactor (AHWR) to rewet the hot fuel pin under the loss of coolant accident. Coolant injection takes place from a water rod which is located at the center of the fuel bundle in form of jets to rewet hot surface of fuel pin under loss of coolant accident. This kind of design to reflood the fuel bundle is different than bottom and top spray reflooding practiced in PWR and BWR type of nuclear reactors. There are two different kinds of rewetting found during radial jet induced cooling. The first one is due to radial jet impingement and the second one is due to falling film which is below the jet impingement point. Rewetting velocity has been predicted along the length of fuel pin due to radial jet impingement cooling. Temperature of FPS has been varied from 400°C to 700°C with help of different powers supply, simulating decay heat of reactor. A variation of coolant radial jet mass flow rate is from 0.5 lpm to 1.8 lpm. It is considered during ECCS injection. It has been observed from the experiments that rewetting velocity decreases with increasing the clad surface temperature and increases with increasing the coolant mass flow rate. The rewetting velocity in falling film is found to be nearly 1.8 times higher than rewetting velocity predicted in circumferential direction. Further, it is found that maximum heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing the radial jet coolant mass flow rate. The maximum heat transfer coefficient in case of radial jet impingement is found to be nearly 1.5 times the falling film rewetting. Developed correlation predicts the maximum heat transfer coefficient with experimental data well within the error band of ±10%.
