The method sinks metal particles (we chose Nickel particles) inside water, and uses a RF oscillating magnetic field to heat the particle bed. The heat generated on the surface of particles by electrical eddy current further raises the temperature of water. Our experimental results show that this thermal process has a remarkable high heating rate owning to the huge heat dissipation area of particles (in some experiment cases, water boils in seconds, even though the volume ratio of particle to water is only 1:89). To describe the physical nature of the process, a mathematical model is proposed. And our numerical simulation results generated from the model agrees very well with experimental data. However, some parameters used in the model are not easily obtainable for engineering application. Thereafter, to predict the temperature for the heating process, in the end of this work, an artificial intelligent neural network architecture is further proposed.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"173 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85021560","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 thermal or mechanical properties of multilayer materials remain elusive, owing to contact behaviors etc. factors. In order to address this issue, an innovative method is employed to estimate the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of multilayer materials considering thermal contact resistance (TCR) between layers, and the equivalence performance is investigated by solving three-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems. First, the equivalence method is validated by available experimental data of a multilayered insulation composite material. Then, the precision of different equivalence methods is compared, and the results indicate that the anisotropic equivalence method has higher accuracy than the isotropic and orthotropic equivalences for the 5-layer material in the present work. Finally, the robustness and stability of the anisotropic equivalence method are evaluated in detail. The present work provides a new alternative method for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of multilayer materials.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"28 13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84663729","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}

But it may be essential to include the finite dimension of the heat transfer equipment which makes the study more realistic. There are numerical reports on fin heat transfer, which involve with and without consideration of the fin-thickness in the flow geometry. But there remains a dearth of literature in which the results of the fin heat transfer obtained from these considerations are compared. In this essence, an attempt has been made to compare the results obtained from a study of numerical heat transfer on a shrouded vertical fin array with and without consideration of fin-thickness in the flow geometry under mixed convection. From the present computations, it is noted that with the consideration of the fin-thickness, there is a possibility of an increase in axial pressure defect by around 45% indicating the requirement of higher pumping power. Again for the chosen range of parameters, overall Nusselt number increases by around 18% as compared to without fin-thickness that may arise due to altered heat transfer coefficient caused by higher velocity over the extended surface to accommodate finite fin dimension. Finally pressure drop and Nusselt number is correlated with the governing parameters including fin-thickness.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"73 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87764035","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}

Four standard atmosphere models namely Tropical, MidLatitude Summer, MidLatitude Winter and U.S. Standard (1976) limited to a height of 16km are considered above an ocean. Two monochromatic radiations are considered according to the preponderance of the interaction they present with the participating medium namely ?=0.55μm for scattering by particles and ?=16.8μm for absorption and emission by water vapour and carbon dioxide. The absorption by the atmospheric gases considered is analysed by the statistical narrow-band correlated-k method. The optical properties of aerosols and water clouds considered are calculated by Mie theory. The results obtained by the proposed discrete spherical harmonics method are in agreement with those of the literature and demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the developed radiative transfer code. The effects of the governing parameters of the system are investigated and show that the presence of the ocean contributes to increasing the upward radiation fluxes in the atmosphere. The presence of aerosols in the atmosphere leads to downward radiance curves at ground level that show significant peaks around the zenith angle of observation ?=0°. Additionally, the presence of the cloud in the atmosphere creates a discontinuity in the radiation flux curves at the height of the cloud.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80583045","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 heater is embedded on the pipe's circumference and is assigned with known heat input. To enhance heat transfer, aluminum metal foam of pore density 10 with porosity 0.95 is inserted adjacent to the pipe's inner wall. To determine the optimal thickness of metal foam for enhancing the performance thermodynamically, metal foams with five different thicknesses (10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 mm) are examined in this research for a fluid velocity ranging from 0.7 - 7 m/s under forced convection heat transfer condition. Darcy Extended Forchheimer (DEF) and local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) models are used for forecasting the flow features and heat transfer through the metal foams respectively. The numerical methodology implemented in this research is confirmed by comparing the present outcomes with the experimental outcomes accessible in the literature and found a fairly good agreement between them. The thermal performance is assessed in terms of heat transfer enhancement ratio and performance factor, and the thermodynamic performance is evaluated based on exergy analysis. In the exergy analysis, the parameters like mean exergy based Nusselt number (?Nu?_e), merit function (MF), and non-dimensional exergy destruction (I*) are considered for the evaluation. The result shows a better performance from partially filled metal foams than from completely filled metal foams.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85199155","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 non-gray radiation effects of the gas have been treated using a global spectral approach, the Spectral Line Weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model. The results reveal that gas radiation results in significantly higher total heat transfer to the cooled channel wall, with an attendant more rapid drop in gas mean temperature. Gas radiation is seen to increase the local convective and total (radiative plus convective) Nusselt number for increasing radiating species mole fraction for both H2O and CO2, and for increasing gas inlet temperature. The influence of gas radiation on the thermal development is lower for CO2 than for H2O. An apparent thermally fully-developed condition may exist for this combined convection-radiation problem with real gases in the gas cooling scenario, and radiation has the effect of significantly extending the thermally developing region. Combined hydrodynamic and thermal development yields higher heat transfer than the thermally developing condition. Smaller channel wall spacing results in lower radiative heat transfer, and the aforementioned radiation effects are diminished. Local convective and radiative flux, and thermal entry length also increase with elevated gas total pressure.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82296149","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 simulated time-dependent heat transfer equation is a partial differential equation (PDE) that can be represented by dimensionless arrangement using appropriate non-dimensional terms. The nonlinear dimensionless problem concerning the stretching/shrinking of a fin is numerically solved using the finite difference method (FDM), and the Levenberg-Marquardt method of backpropagation artificial neural network (LMM-BANN) has been used in this investigation. By varying the stretching/shrinking parameters, a set of data for the presented ANN is produced to discuss stretching and shrinking scenarios. The testing, training, and validation procedure of LMM-BANN, as well as correlation for verification of the validity of the proposed approach, establish the approximate solution to various scenarios. The suggested model LMM-BANN is then validated using regression interpretation, mean square error, and histogram explorations.

In this study, we demonstrate a general purpose fully connected neural network approach, trained with Monte Carlo simulations, to accurately predict the spectral response while dramatically accelerating the computational speed. Monte Carlo simulations are first used to generate a training set with a wide range of optical properties covering dielectrics, semiconductors, and metals. Each input is normalized, with the scattering and absorption coefficients normalized on a logarithmic scale to accelerate the training process and reduce error. A deep neural network with ReLU activation is trained on this dataset with the optical properties and medium thickness as the inputs, and diffuse reflectance, absorptance, and transmittance as the outputs. The neural network is validated on a validation set with randomized optical properties, as well as nanoparticle medium examples including barium sulfate, aluminum, and silicon. The error in the spectral response predictions is within 1% which is sufficient for many applications, while the speedup is 1-3 orders of magnitude.

Two silicone oils with the dynamic viscosities of 1 and 5 cSt at several volumetric flow rates are used to establish segmented flow. The impacts of the channel diameter, viscosity, and flow rate ratio on the flow pattern, pressure drop, film thickness, and heat transfer rate are discussed. It is found, in good agreement with the literature, that the pressure drop generated by the interface inecreases the total pressure loss up to 200% compared to the single-phase flow. The results also explain how recirculating regions within the slugs influence the film region and the physics of backflow. Furthermore, introducing segmented water slugs enhances the heat transfer rate significantly as the dimensionless thermal length decreases.
