Besides, most of the existing investigations on the cooling channel were conducted under low thermal load conditions. To bridge these research gaps, this study presents a novel experimental investigation of the convective-radiative synergistic heat transfer enhancement in cooling channels with radiation enhancement plate. The experiments under high thermal load conditions up to 25,000 W m<sup>−2</sup> are carried out. Two kinds of novel channel configurations are developed with smooth or ribbed radiation enhancement plate, which can expand cold surfaces to strengthen radiation. The research indicates that, comparing with the traditional channel configuration, growths of total Nusselt number ratio as well as comprehensive thermal performance are 69.70 % and 24.62 %, respectively, by employing the smooth radiation enhancement plate. When inclined ribs are arranged on the radiation enhancement plate, growths of total Nusselt number ratio as well as comprehensive thermal performance are 82.58 % and 9.23 %, respectively, because airflow disturbance in the core region is intensified. The total Nusselt number ratio drops as Reynolds number grows, while it increases as wall heat flux rises. Besides, the approximate analysis method and the fitting method are developed to predict the channel wall temperature and the cooling performance, which is beneficial to overcome the limitation of equipment and experimental conditions for high thermal loads. In addition, the decoupling of convective and radiative heat transfer is achieved. Influences of radiative heat transfer on the overall thermal performance are also quantitatively explored.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 110713"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146023869","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}

However, systematic studies of fouling-driven thermal–hydraulic behavior in the CAP1400 steam generator (SG) are still lacking, partly because the unit is in its early stage of commercial operation. Moreover, because fouling deposition and thermal–hydraulic behavior are intrinsically coupled, the problem becomes even more challenging to study. Therefore, a fully three-dimensional coupled fouling–thermal-hydraulic model was developed for the CAP1400 SG on the primary side and the secondary side. A quasi-steady multi-time-step coupling framework is developed to balance computational efficiency and coupling fidelity. The model was used to assess secondary-side fouling patterns and their impacts on flow and heat transfer after 360 days of deposition. The results show that deposits preferentially accumulate in the hot-side boiling region, particularly the U-bend. These locations should be prioritized for water-chemistry optimization and outage cleaning to mitigate thermal degradation and reduce the risk of under-deposit corrosion. Although the non-uniform fouling distribution strengthens cold-side heat transfer, the overall heat duty decreases. At 360 days, the cumulative fouling mass reaches 2082.28 kg and the heat duty drops by 6.44 %. Meanwhile, fouling reduces the outlet steam mass flow rate and lowers the secondary-side pressure drop. During operation, timely monitoring of the secondary-circuit steam-pressure margin consumption is required to ensure reliable performance over the unit's lifetime. These findings clarify the evolution of fouling in the CAP1400 SG and its impact on thermal performance, providing a basis for trend assessment and operational evaluation in long-term service.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"224 ","pages":"Article 110732"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146074546","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}

The quantity of heat that needs to be dissipated per area rises in parallel with the compactness and power density of modern electronic equipment. The design of heat sinks that can sustain a low operational temperature and a small packing environment is therefore required. The geometric flexibility offered by topology optimization makes it a valuable tool for creating passive heat sinks that can reject as much heat as feasible in a constrained area. Convective heat transference problem established on the power law type non-Newtonian fluid is subjected to topology optimization. By optimizing non-Newtonian cooling device topology utilizing a material distribution-based optimization approach, a heat transfer maximization problem is investigated. Expending a design variable, specifically the “material density” to distinguish between the fluid and solid domains, is the methods core principle. An adjoint-based analysis procedure is used to update it depending on the gradient information. A numerical investigation is conducted into the non-Newtonian effect on the ideal arrangements of thermal devices. Our findings demonstrate that as the pressure differential or heat generation rises, extra branching flow channels are seen in the ideal designs. As compared to previous results, the current finding shows that the best arrangement is dependent on the power law index, and an advanced power law index can lead to lower flow rates and more complicated setups. Furthermore, the flow distribution design might offer the lowest hydrodynamic resistance, while the heat transfer increase design can reduce thermal resistance. Under the same conditions, the optimum design of the maximum power index problem performs significantly well in terms of heat transmission than the low index one.
