Different parameters, i.e., wavelengths, wave amplitudes, and phase shifts of the proposed sinusoidal wavy MCHS, were varied to study its effect on thermal and hydraulic performance. This study used three different wavelengths, three different amplitudes, and two different phase shifts, and Reynolds number (Re) varied from 300 to 800. The Nusselt number (Nu) of IC w-MCHS increased as the wave amplitude ratio (α) and Re increased, whereas it increased with the decrement of the wavelength ratio (β). Nu of the IC w-MCHS was also found to depend on phase shift (θp); for θp = π, the chaotic advection and increment of flow reversal were observed in the IC w-MCHS compared to θp = 0, resulting in higher Nu and higher pressure drop penalty. Nu of the IC w-MCHS was found to be 115% higher compared to s-MCHS at Re 550, θp = π,and a = 0.3,whereas it was found 77% higher for θp = 0. The maximum temperature of the IC w-MCHS heat sink was also found to decrease compared to that of the s-MCHS due to enhanced coolant mixing. A maximum26% decrease in the heat sink temperature was observed for the IC w-MCHS at Re 800 compared to the s-MCHS.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80092279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulation accompanied with the k-ω SST turbulence model is used in this study. The movement and evaporation of the mist are simulated by using the discrete phase model. The study has been conducted for a target wall with a constant heat flux of 3,000 W/m2, jet-to-wall distance of 4, ReD=2,500, and a mist /air mass ratio of 5% with a droplet size of 5 microns. A comparison between the cooling performance of steady and sweeping jets is presented for two impingement schemes. The approach of using a slip upper wall boundary condition as an alternative of the unconfined impingement scheme is investigated as well. The results show that adding mist provided a temperature reduction of 5-10% on the target wall in all cases when compared to the air cases. The liquid droplet coalescence phenomenon prevails in the sweeping jet case. For the confined impingement, both mist jets provided the similar average temperature reduction. However, the steady mist jet introduced a 58% more target wall shear compared to the sweeping mist jet. For the unconfined impingement, the steady mist jet achieved a better average cooling performance compared to that of the sweeping mist jet. However, the steady mist jet introduced a 72% more target wall shear.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77545411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the relationship between wick parameters and evaporative heat transfer remains unclear. To establish a correlation between wick parameters of sintered porous particles and evaporation characteristics, a boundary condition model was developed, incorporating wick parameters such as particle radius (R), particle distance (d), apparent contact angle (θa), and initial liquid height (H). In the absence of significant size effect, the profile of the liquid-vapor interface was determined using the boundary model by numerically solving the augmented Young-Laplace equation. Ammonia was used as an example to investigate evaporation characteristics, including the thin film profile, pressure distribution, interfacial mass flux (m'), and heat flux (q). The curvature radius of the intrinsic meniscus (Re) was found to serve as a bridging factor between these wick parameters and evaporation characteristics. When Re exceeds 40.3 µm, a limitation in evaporative heat transfer within the thin film region is observed. The relationship between R, d, θa, and H was quantitatively described based on this evaporative heat transfer limit. Furthermore, a non-dimensional analysis of the governing equation for the evaporating liquid film profile was conducted, yielding an influencing factor (?) that governed the thin film profile. The proposed model and its outcomes can offer valuable theoretical insights for the structural design of sintered porous particles, the optimization of surface modification levels, and the determination of the appropriate working fluid charging ratio during the manufacturing process of heat pipes.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"174 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82957238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The numerical solver is first validated with experimental results and subsequently multiple simulation cases are formulated with spiral tube by varying the flow and thermal conditions. The wall temperature and heat transfer co-efficient of spiral tubes are compared with the same of straight tubes. Over the parameters range considered, the heat transfer co-efficient is improved by 88% when straight tube is replaced with spiral tube, for similar flow and thermal conditions. Most significantly, the deteriorated heat transfer regime, which is otherwise witnessed in straight tubes is completely avoided by using spiral tubes, for the similar flow conditions. Tangential velocity, which arise due to centrifugal force is the primary reason of enhanced heat transfer in spiral tubes. Three standard heat transfer co-relations are tested for spiral geometry under deteriorated heat transfer regime and it is found that none of those can predict the heat transfer co-efficient accurately. Using the simulation results along with Buckingham p-theorem, a new co-relation for heat transfer co-efficient is proposed for spiral tubes carrying supercritical steam and operating under deteriorated heat transfer regime.

Thermal radiation of the jet fire brings severe damage to nearby facilities and people's health. To evaluate the damage of jet fires, a precise model for the calculation of heat radiation is indispensable. Classical thermal radiation models of jet fires either have a lower prediction accuracy or a higher computation complexity. To overcome such deficiencies, this paper proposes a novel segmented line heat source (SLHS) model for jet fires. Because the length of the jet fire is often much larger than the width, the jet fire is viewed as a line heat source, with all the heat radiated from the centerline of the jet fire. The jet fire is divided into three segments along the flame length according to the temperature distribution and thermal radiation characteristics of the flame. Based on the SLHS model, three types of thermal radiation models, called cone-cylinder-cone, ellipsoid-cylinder-ellipsoid and ellipsoid-cylinder-cone models, are built for computing the radiant heat flux distribution around the jet fire. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed models are illustrated with the experimental data and a numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80349492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These tubes represent external tubular receivers used in solar central tower plants and operate at 4.5 MPa with a non-uniform solar flux averaging 0.8 MW/m2. Adding longitudinal fins to the tubes significantly reduced the maximum temperature on the irradiated surface and improved heat transfer to the fluid.
