The anisotropic t 2 ¯ -εt heat-transfer model is employed to determine thermal eddy diffusivity. When the inner cylinder is at rest, the turbulent kinetic energy and temperature variance over the whole cross-section in the flow and thermal fields substantially diminish along the flow, resulting in laminartization, i.e., a deterioration in heat transfer performance at the inner and outer cylinder walls. By contrast, a substantial reduction in the turbulent kinetic energy and temperature variance in the laminarzing flow are suppressed in the presence of inner core rotation. In other words, an inner core rotation contributes to a suppression of laminarization of the strongly heated gas flow.","PeriodicalId":201774,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer: Volume 2","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129847552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence is mainly due to radiative heating of the lower plate, and plane fluid layer secondary motion could arise. In this paper an experimental study is carried out to describe and to detect the influence of radiation on air flow and on heat transfer coefficient by means of wall temperature profiles, smoke visualization, and air temperature measurements. The analysis is obtained for an emissivity of the horizontal plates equal to 0.8, for distances between the plates of 20.0, 32.3, and 40.0 mm. By means of flow visualization and local air temperature measurements in the cavity as a function of time, remarkable secondary motion in the cavity is observed when qΩ is equal to 120 W/m2. Measurement of the air temperature in the cavity also shows that radiation causes and damps secondary motion at the same time. Profiles of the mean value of the air temperature as a function of the x and y coordinates confirm both the main flow path inside the cavity and radiation effects on convective heat transfer. Finally, correlations related to average Nusselt number are proposed for natural convection as well as for heat transfer as a whole, that is convection along with radiation.","PeriodicalId":201774,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer: Volume 2","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123642178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Velocity components and temperature are expanded in series in powers of the square root of time. Leading, first and second order functions are obtained analytically and the third, forth and fifth order functions are determined numerically. Application of the general results to a sphere shows that buoyancy driven aiding and opposing flows help surface suction in retarding and surface blowing in facilitating the onset of flow separation respectively. Surface heat flux is increased near the front stagnation point due to the axial inflow created by the body spin and enhanced by the circulating flow inside the separated region. Surface suction is found to increase the heat transfer while the surface blowing decreases it. Aiding and opposing flows increase the surface heat flux around the front and rear stagnation points respectively.","PeriodicalId":201774,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer: Volume 2","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127688078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test section was an annulus with 6.45 and 7.77 mm inner and outer diameters, respectively (0.66 mm gap width), and an 18.5-cm long heated section. The experimental parameters investigated covered the following ranges: test section exit pressure: 0.344–1.034 MPa; coolant (water) mass flux: 100–380 kg/m2s; wall heat flux: 0.231–1.068 MW/m2; water inlet temperature: 30–65°C.\u0000 The results, in agreement with the existing CHF data for large horizontal channels, indicated that CHF values were considerably lower than the expected CHF values for vertical test section configuration. In all the tests CHF occurred at relatively high equilibrium qualities, and was preceded by flow stratification which caused dryout of the upper surface of the flow channel. The data were correlated by introducing empirical correction multipliers into three widely-used correlations for vertical channels, and based on the compensated distortions method.","PeriodicalId":201774,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer: Volume 2","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131320736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A single-blow transient technique combined with a compressible non-local-thermal-equilibrium model determines the hloc. The compressible non-local-thermal-equilibrium model is also adopted in a Levenberg-Marquardt optimization technique for deducing the K and F from measured steady-state pressure drops at different flow rates. Results show that the permeability increases with the increase of the porosity. A set of empirical correlations is obtained for calculating the Nusselt number.
