It is argued that problems arise with the interpretation of heat spreading effects due to a misconception about the meaning of often-quoted flux limits and especially the physical meaning of thermal resistance. The usefulness of a number of approaches that are generally in use to analyse heat spreading effects is discussed and it is shown that the popular series resistance approach has severe limitations. A number of test cases are covered in detail and the results testify to this assertion.","PeriodicalId":414963,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second International Conference on Thermal Issues in Emerging Technologies","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130565114","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}

To our knowledge, very few papers have been published with temperature boundary conditions and none in cooling conditions. The experimental apparatus is described which allows us to measure local wall temperatures as well as fluid inlet/outlet temperatures. The flow regimes range from laminar to turbulent. The Reynolds and Nusselt numbers are deduced by using thermal conductivity and viscosity values measured with the same temperature conditions as those in the tests. The shear rate influence is also taken into account in the viscosity determination.The results indicate that the general trend of standard correlations is respected. However, the heat transfer coefficient values are higher than observed with pure water. An explanation is proposed.","PeriodicalId":414963,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second International Conference on Thermal Issues in Emerging Technologies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124453093","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}

It is shown that the first and second law cycle efficiency as well as the Witte-Shamsundar efficiency for heat exchangers show a similar dependency on the heat exchanger pressure drops. This results in design relations for hydraulic diameter ratios and their related number of channels ratio. Further, it is shown that the Witte-Shamsundar efficiency focusing on heat exchanger inlet temperatures only can be used as a good approximation for the overall optimal recuperator design when also pressure drops over the recuperator are accounted for. However the approximation deteriorates with higher heat exchanger mass flow density and lower compressor ratio as well as with decreasing turbine inlet temperature ratio. Deviations from the full cycle efficiency considerations are assessed. It is concluded that the use of the Witte-Shamsundar efficiency for optimization of recuperators in small-sized applications like the 1.5 kW PowerMems gas turbine needs careful assessment.","PeriodicalId":414963,"journal":{"name":"2008 Second International Conference on Thermal Issues in Emerging Technologies","volume":"376 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116635351","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}
