The study has been carried out in a rectangular channel with a transverse aspect ratio of 10, and considered both low (<em>Ra</em> = 1.28 × 10⁴) and high (<em>Ra</em> = 1.4 × 10⁵) Rayleigh numbers, with Reynolds numbers of 50 and 100. A uniform heat flux was applied to the top and bottom walls of the heated region to assess its effect on the system's thermoconvective behavior and heat transfer efficiency.

Specifically, flux ratios lead to an increased number of plumes originating from the bottom of the channel, while reducing their height and confining them between the bottom wall and the upper thermal boundary layer. It is also observed that flux ratios do not affect the mechanisms involved in the formation of longitudinal rolls. Furthermore, at low Rayleigh numbers, asymmetric heating has a pronounced impact on the establishment length. In contrast, this effect diminishes and becomes negligible at higher Rayleigh numbers. Numerical computations further reveal that near the bottom wall, the Nusselt number exhibits singular behavior, approaching infinity. Regardless of Reynolds and Rayleigh numbers, flux ratios significantly enhance heat transfer within the system. Additionally, near the top wall, the buoyancy effects from the bottom wall have negligible impact on heat transfer, except in the case where q_t/q_b = 2, <em>Re</em> = 50 and <em>Ra</em> = 1.4 × 10⁵, where instability in the upper thermal layer was observed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":332,"journal":{"name":"International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 108404"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142743524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments measure the wicking height of hexadecane in a heated beaker with a polypropylene wick at room temperature. An analytical solution predicts the wicking rate based on temperature-sensitive liquid properties, such as viscosity, surface tension, and density. Three temperature models are introduced: Liquid Temperature Model, Average Temperature Model, and Dynamic Temperature Model. The first two models incorporate temperature-induced changes in liquid properties but have limitations. The Liquid Temperature Model overestimates wicking height, while the Average Temperature Model improves predictions but still faces challenges. The Dynamic Temperature Model, using numerical simulation, accurately calculates fluid properties at dynamically determined temperatures, leading to better predictions of wicking height. Comparisons with experimental data show increasing accuracy across the three models.

Therefore, precisely modeling wall heat flux partitioning is crucial for the realistic prediction of boiling two-phase flows. In this study, a new mechanistic model based on bubble dynamics and associated heat transfer mechanisms is proposed for wall heat flux partitioning under vertical subcooled boiling flow. The proposed model categorizes the wall heat flux into four components: evaporation, nucleation quenching, sliding transient conduction, and forced convection. Unlike previous models, the nucleation quenching and sliding transient conduction components, both triggered by sliding bubbles, are modeled separately owing to their different active times in the new model. Additionally, the proposed model incorporates suppression factors into the existing model for nucleation site density to address boiling suppressions induced by subcooled liquid and static bubble interactions. Evaluation results reveal that the new model, including its closure models, exhibits a good prediction capability in a wide range of thermal-hydraulic conditions covering 298–3527 kg/m²s of mass flux, 100–6000 kW/m² of heat flux, 5–83.3 K of liquid subcooling, and 1–6 bar of pressure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":332,"journal":{"name":"International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"160 ","pages":"Article 108389"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142742917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, statistical positional correlation (SPC) describes the possible existing order of particle distribution in the spatial variation for disordered dispersed particulate medium. SPC plays a pivotal role in the transformation of radiative transfer regimes between particles. However, the existing theory lacks a precise criterion for describing SPC and fails to comprehensively consider key factors within SPC influencing radiative transfer regimes, such as mean distance, relative distance, standard deviation, cluster, and aggregation. To achieve more representative and accurate results of radiative property calculations while minimizing computational resources, we proposed MRSDL (Mean distance, Relative distance, Standard deviation, Density-based clustering, and Line matrix) criterion combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) for characterizing and regulating SPC. Moreover, to further achieve the statistical averaging of radiative properties precisely, the multiple sphere T-matrix (MSTM) method is combined to eliminate the random fluctuations of radiative properties caused by SPC.
