The moving source dissipates heat in a thin layer near the irradiated surface of the solid and can be constant or pulsed or have any time evolution, depending on the application. The resulting solution requires only one convergent integral over time, which can be quickly computed numerically using, for example, a commercial formal calculation software. On the other hand, the derivative of the temperature with respect to time is fully explicit. We show that the results of the developed analytical solution are in excellent agreement with those of a numerical modeling that we performed under the same conditions. The temperature evolutions and the thermal maps are presented and commented.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140675414","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}

In this paper, an investigation is presented on a compact configuration of heat exchanger composed of a bundle of inclined elliptical tubes. The effect of geometrical parameters on the thermal performance of the heat exchanger is investigated for two tube arrangements i.e. inline and staggered configurations. These parameters include longitudinal (SL/a = 3 to 6) and transversal (ST/a = 2.5 to 5.5) pitch ratios. A CFD commercial code is used for simulation of heat transfer and fluid flow. Computations are performed for the Reynolds number range Re = 300-1500. The outcomes indicate higher performance of the staggered arrangement when compared with the inline inclined tubes. The best thermal performance is observed for a staggered configuration with SL/a = 6, ST/a = 5.5 at Re = 1500. Furthermore, correlations are provided for Nusselt number for heat exchangers of inclined elliptic tubes.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140676138","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 results indicate that MHS with symmetrical fin arrangement has a higher Nusselt number and lower thermal resistance. The vortices perpendicular to the flowpath is the main factor of affecting the heat transfer characteristics. Because of the higher vorticity, the channel with symmetrical fins achieves higher heat transfer performance. To further improve the heat transfer performance, three modified models (models III–V) are obtained by adopting the methods of staggered, reducing fin quantity, and adding pin fins, respectively. The staggered arrangement of fins can deepen the secondary flow in the channel, and the additional vortices are formed with adding pin fins, which can enhance heat transfer capacity in models III and V. On the other hand, reducing the number of fins can damage some vortices, which can actually reduce heat transfer performance. It is worth noting that both the staggered fins and the pin fins significantly increase the pressure drops of the channel, while reducing the fins number leads to an obvious decrease in the pressure drop.","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140677091","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}

For long times, the dimensionless spreading resistance approaches the values of the corresponding steady-state expression in the literature. For small constriction ratios, dimensionless spreading resistance approaches the classic isothermal half-space limit.

The CGM minimizes the objective function and calculates the sensitivity coefficients with the complex variable derivation method (CVDM). Comparative results show that the present approach is more accurate, stable, and efficient than the conventional CGM, which is attributed to the calculation of the sensitivity coefficients by CVDM.
