The use of internal enhanced cooling at the endwall backside could be an option, but it increases manufacturing cost, adds weight to the component, causing excessive pressure losses in the secondary air system. Novel film cooling concepts are, therefore, required to provide effective cooling for these difficult-to-cool regions. This study proposes an active cooling concept effected by placing a row of film cooling holes on the vane pressure surface near the endwall with the intention of utilizing second-order cooling (or phantom cooling) from pressure-surface film-coolant injection to provide increased cooling effectiveness and enlarge coverage on the endwall. The effects of hole diameter, injection angle, and compound angle, as well as coolant injection rate are investigated. Detailed phantom cooling effectiveness over the endwall is documented using Pressure-Sensitive Paint (PSP). To provide a description of the flow physics driving the cooling process, computational modeling is carried out to document mixing of coolant with the freestream. Experiments show that significant cooling occurs in the endwall pressure-side corner and extends beyond the passage throat. Higher coolant injection rates and an optimized pressure-surface injection geometry maximize endwall phantom cooling. An effectiveness correlation for the active cooling is developed to provide a straightforward tool for designers to apply in turbine design.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"15 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139597333","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}

This process involves interactions between spray droplets and the flue gas, resulting in both CO2 absorption and droplet evaporation due to temperature differences. The presence of neighboring droplets can influence the evaporation and gas absorption of a given droplet. Understanding this interaction is crucial for creating accurate models for CO2 capture from flue gases.This study investigated the impact of neighboring droplets on the evaporation of a specific droplet, comparing it to evaporation in isolation. Various configurations of suspended water, aqueous ammonia, and MEA droplets were examined across a temperature range from 75°C to 125°C. The droplets were placed on a microfiber grid and observed in a heating chamber. The evaporation rate was determined through image analysis and MATLAB algorithms, considering temperature and available surface area for vapor diffusion. Results demonstrated that neighboring droplets significantly influenced droplet evaporation, especially for MEA. A novel parameter, Surface Area Ratio (SAR), combining the number of droplets and their proximity, was introduced to account for this influence. The normalized evaporation rate correlated linearly with SAR, providing a basis for correcting evaporation rates in computational models across different conditions. This correlation between the normalized evaporation rate and SAR was developed from the collective data, offering a valuable tool for refining computational models of evaporation in CO2 capture processes.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"47 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139528269","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}

Both a steady-state problem of heat transfer and a transient problem were considered. The latter describes the instantaneous (flash) boiling up of a liquid on a heated surface. The novelty of the present study is the use of the optically thick medium approximation in a mathematical model when studying the process of radiation-convective heat transfer in the film boiling regime. For the first time, radiation heat transfer was considered for an optically thick medium. An analytical solution of the steady-state problems is obtained for boundary conditions involving a constant wall temperature and a constant wall heat flux. The effect of radiation and the temperature difference between the wall and liquid on the temperature profiles in the vapor phase is shown. The effect of radiation becomes more pronounced with an increase in the temperature difference between the wall and the liquid. As a result of solving the transient problem, the variation in time of the temperature profile and the heat transfer coefficient in the vapor film were obtained. The effect of radiation (Stark number) on the heat transfer coefficients is elucidated. An increase in the radiative heat flux leads to an increase in the Nusselt number, as well as the time it takes for the heat transfer process to reach a steady-state regime.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139625014","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 developed simulation approach is a reliable and effective tool to investigate 3D boiling phenomena by accurately capturing the thermal and fluid dynamic interfacial vapor-liquid interaction and reducing computational time. These methods account for 3D sharp interface and thermal conditions of saturation temperature refining the mesh around the bubble edge. User-Defined-Functions (UDFs) were developed to customize the software Ansys-Fluent to preserve the interface sharpness, maintain saturation temperature conditions, and perform effective adaptive mesh refinement in a localized region around the interface. Adaptive mesh refinement is accomplished by a UDF that identifies the cells near the contact line and the liquid-vapor interface and applies the adaptive mesh refinement algorithms only at the identified cells. Validating the approach considered spherical bubble growth with an observed acceptable difference between theoretical and simulation bubble growth rates of 10%. Bubble growth simulations with water reveal an influence region of 2.7 times the departure bubble diameter, and average heat transfer coefficient of 15000 W/m2-K.

The study focuses on examining the thermal and fluid behaviour when the slot jet is off-centre, during impingement cooling. Several turbulence models from the k-e and k-ε families were compared by evaluating the local Nusselt number profiles at different locations around the cylinder, and these results were compared to experimental data. The findings indicate that the SST k-ω model outperforms the other turbulence models in estimating the Nusselt number in the stagnation region, while the standard k-ω model shows improved performance elsewhere on the cylinder. Furthermore, this study reveals a decrease in the maximum local Nusselt number and a shift in the direction of the nozzle displacement. The presence of swirling/recirculating fluid at the trailing end of the cylinder enhances heat transfer near the back end of the cylinder. The separation and the reattachment of the fluid stream differ depending on the Reynolds number, with low Reynolds numbers resulting in reattachment on the side of the slot jet and higher Reynolds numbers leading to reattachment in the opposite direction. Additionally, the length of the recirculation and swirling zones increases as the nozzle-to-cylinder spacing (H/S) increases. However, as the eccentricity (E/S) increases, the size of the swirl circulation zones decreases and completely vanishes for E/S = 4. This study provides valuable insights for optimal cooling design.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439424","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 validation study, a grid independence study, and an uncertainty analysis are conducted to ensure the accuracy of the obtained results. Both vertical and angled jet impingement at different jet locations are studied indicating the advantage of using a 45° angled jet placed upstream of the hotspot. In addition, the advantage of jet-in-crossflow in comparison with pure crossflow and pure jet impingement are studied. The results show that the angled jet-in-crossflow setup, in comparison with pure crossflow at the same overall mass flow rate, considerably reduces the temperature values at the heated surface, decreases the temperature standard deviation by 65%, while lowering the required pumping power by 35%. In comparison with pure jet impingement at the same overall mass flow rate, the angled jet-in-crossflow method reduces the required pumping power by 87%, while local temperature and temperature standard deviation values are very comparable. Furthermore, the advantage of structured rib channels in cooling effectiveness is investigated for the jet-in-crossflow setup.

The proposed method involves periodic internal heat generation inside the airfoil in the vicinity of the TBC-alloy boundary using low frequency modulated induction heating through a coil. The phase-lag between the radiation flux emitted to the surroundings from the exposed side of the TBC and the recorded voltage input to the modulated induction coil is proportional to the thermal resistance (L^2/a) of the thin film. A simplified analytical model is developed to quantify the relationship between the lag as a function of the thermal resistance and induction modulation frequency. Numerical experiments are conducted to solve the full physics. Comparing the output with the simplified model, precision of 0.8% under ideal conditions can be observed. Moreover, the robustness of the methodology to recover properties is characterized for differing levels and types of noise levels, including Gaussian and constant-lag biases.

The Houston method is also used to impose conservation of the number of phonons in each direction of high symmetry, thus modifying the detailed balance theorem and the Diffuse Mismatch Model. Based on the assumption that phonons are in equilibrium at the interface and are transmitted specularly or diffusely by two-phonon elastic processes, interpolation between the modified Acoustic Mismatch Model and the modified Diffuse Mismatch Model has led to a general analytical formalism for low-temperature interface thermal conductance. The Debye temperature, the only parameter in the derived formalism, is expressed as a function of temperature by assimilating numerically obtained specific heat values to the Debye expression for specific heat. Previous measurements of the thermal conductance of smooth and rough interfaces between dissimilar materials could be reproduced numerically without adjustment of model parameters, demonstrating the importance of modifications to the Acoustic Mismatch Model and the Diffuse Mismatch Model, and supporting the hypothesis that anharmonic processes play a minimal role in heat transport across interfaces below ambient temperature.
