The MCRT method produces RDFs whose accuracy depends on the number of rays traced per surface element and the number of surface elements. Solution of pure radiation problems using RDFs is unconditionally stable and the uncertainty of results obtained is well documented in the literature. However, when RDFs are used in conjunction with time-dependent finite-volume conduction formulations based on DGFs, errors result due to local violations of the second law of thermodynamics related to small imbalances in RDF reciprocity. Described is a novel approach to eliminating RDF reciprocity imbalances without violating the first law of thermodynamics. The approach is demonstrated for dynamic thermal analysis of an Earth radiation budget instrument concept composed of 2636 surface elements and a similar number of volume elements.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91362280","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 impacts of Reynolds number (Re) ranged from 500 to 5000, guiding baffle diameter-to-nozzle diameter (D/d) of 2, 4, and 6, and guiding baffle height-to-nozzle to impinging plate distance (h/H) of 1/3, 1/2, and 3/4 on the cooling process are studied. The distributions of surface temperature are acquired experimentally using the thermal infrared camera. As well, the local Nusselt number,(Nu) stagnation Nusselt number (Nu¯st), average Nusselt number,(Nu¯) and average Nusselt number ratio (Nur¯) are evaluated. The results reveal that the enhancement of heat transfer is achieved due to installing a baffle with a D/d of 2 for all values of baffle height and Reynolds number. In addition, the (Nur¯) is increased with increasing the Re in the range from 500 to 2500, then it is decreased by a further increase in in Re. Moreover, based on the experimental results, an empirical correction is proposed to compute (Nu¯) the average Nusselt number depending on Re, D/d, and h/H with a ± 2.65% standard deviation.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75006750","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}

Porous media combustion is recognized as a cutting-edge combustion technique for increasing flammability. In this process, heat is transferred from the exothermic reaction zone to the incoming reactants through porous media. This role of porous media distinguishes reacting flow in porous media from free combustion processes. Local heat transfer, such as solid conduction, solid-solid radiation, and solid-gas convection, as well as the response behavior, are by the topology of the porous material. Theoretical studies indicate that continuously graded porous materials can significantly enhance the performance benefits of heat transfer. However, topology design is challenging for smooth graded porous media, and thus investigations of combustion within graded porous media are still required. In the present study, we constructed a porous structure of type W/P/D/G (porosity e = 0.3-0.5, hydraulic diameter dh = 1.33-3.86 mm) using a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS), and a computational model of the combustion reaction in porous media was established to compare the range of flame stability within different pore types. In addition, topology gradation was achieved via TPMS to modulate the heat transfer to ensure the dependable functioning of premixed flames and improved heat recirculation. Heat transfer in the graded TPMS-based porous structure was analyzed numerically. The conclusions obtained from this study can effectively address the aforementioned challenges related to porous media burner design.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81746529","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}

Particularly, in microwave AFD process, preservation of material with least possible energy consumption is desirable. In connection with this, it is of interest to analyze the effect of temperature/concentration dependent heat/mass transfer properties. Given the limited literature available on sublimation, there is a general lack of physical understanding of this particular problem. The present work analyses non-linear sublimation process driven by convective heat/mass transfer and evaporation of water vapor using the Legendre wavelet-collocation method. Results from the present work are shown to be in excellent agreement with the exact solution of special case of a linear problem. Further, present numerical technique shows strong acceptance with finite-difference method in case of full non-linear model. The model is used for a comprehensive investigation of the impact of problem parameters appearing in this study on the rate of sublimation. It is found that sublimation rate increases with increasing values of ß1 and decreasing values of ß2. The impact of other dimensionless problem parameters such as Peclet numbers Pe1 and Pem, convection due to moisture flow of water vapor ß, latent heat of sublimation l0 and Luikov number Lu on sublimation process is also discussed in detail.

However, the need for an in-depth understanding of the turbulent heat transfer in parabolic trough absorbers with pure and hybrid nano-oils, including the effect of buoyancy or gravity, is realized. This paper presents the RANS-based turbulent heat transfer analyses in a 3D, long, straight for Reynolds number from 5000 to 20000 and discrete heating conditions with different heat flux ratios such as 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 50 for pure oil and hybrid nano-oils having 1, 4 and 6 % volume concentration of the nanoparticles. The major findings are, (a) gravity-induced anisotropy leads to high and low-speed fluid flows near the lower and upper walls and temperature redistribution at a plane, which is beneficial, (b) the statistical axial-velocity deviates from the standard logarithmic law at a Reynolds number of 5000, and (c) the ratio of surface-area-averaged Nusselt number between the lower half and upper half of the tube is 4-12. Some important recommendations are (a) the effect of gravity must be included, (b) the local Richardson number may be used for improving the standard logarithmic law for the axial velocity, and (c) Nusselt number correlations are deduced for the upper half surface and lower half surfaces. The findings, albeit for limited parameters, will be useful for improving the heat transfer aspects in the parabolic trough absorber.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86824758","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 temperature of the fluid at the flat surface is greater than the surrounding ambient temperature. The governing equations describing the BLF have been reduced to a non-similar form using an appropriate stream function formulation. The Keller-Box method is used to obtain numerical solution of the boundary-value problem. The effect of the pertinent parameters on the nature of the flow and the heat transfer has been discussed using actual thermophysical data. The results about the shear-stress and heat transfer rate at the surface are presented as well. To study the nature of BLF, the velocity and thermal boundary-layers, the streamline and isotherm plots have been considered, which reveal that the nanoparticle volume-fraction, amplitude of surface temperature variations and the Grashof number play a pivotal role in enhancing/diminishing heat transfer. The final outcome reveals that the heat transfer is highest for the sinusoidal waveform, followed by that of the triangular and then, the sawtooth. An important inference is that a symmetric periodic temperature distribution at the surface enhances heat transfer more than that of a constant surface-temperature.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82621770","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 study covers the effect of divergence-convergence angle, width ratio, thermal conductivity ratio, thickness ratio, and Reynolds number on peripheral heat flux, temperature, and Nusselt number profiles. Isotherms show a multidirectional thermal gradient for low thermal conductivity ratios, whereas only an axial thermal gradient is seen for higher thermal conductivity ratios. Furthermore, the overall axial surface temperature gradients decrease with increasing divergence-convergence angle and decreasing width ratio. The study also shows that the thermal conductivity ratio significantly influences the Nusselt number, while the thickness ratio has only a moderate influence for all geometries. The analysis also reveals that at a particular intermediate thermal conductivity ratio, the Nusselt number becomes maximum. Lastly, a nondimensional wall conduction number is used to characterize conjugate effects in diamond microchannels. The wall conduction effect is inconsequential in diamond microchannels when the nondimensional wall conduction number is less than 0.01. The present study is beneficial from a practical perspective as it helps design the optimum channel geometries subjected to conjugate effects for many heat transfer applications.","PeriodicalId":15937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heat Transfer-transactions of The Asme","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82273435","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}
