Research on heat transfer and flow characteristics of latent functionally thermal fluid in circular tubes with embedded fins
In this paper, an experimental investigation was arranged to study the heat transfer and flow characteristics of latent functionally thermal fluid (LFTF) in circular tubes with different fins (smooth tube, straight finned tube, and cross finned tube). The water-based microencapsulated phase change materials suspension (MPCS) as LFTF was prepared. The effects of microencapsulated phase change materials (MicroEPCM) mass concentration, inlet temperature, heat flux, and circular tube structure on heat transfer and flow performance of MPCS were investigated. The results indicated that the convective heat transfer capacity of MPCS was significantly better than that of water under the same experimental conditions. The optimal inlet temperature and heat flux were 29 °C and 4301.48 W/m2, respectively. Among the three types of circular tube structures, the cross-fin tube exhibited the best enhanced heat transfer capability but also resulted in the highest pressure drop loss. When the heat exchange section was a smooth circular tube, the comprehensive evaluation coefficients of 5 wt% MPCS and 10 wt% MPCS were approximately 1.3 and 1.5 times higher than that of water, respectively. This demonstrated that MicroEPCM can enhance the overall heat transfer capability. This study investigated the heat transfer and flow characteristics of LFTF in circular tubes, contributing to the expansion of its practical applications electronic device heat dissipation and battery thermal management.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow welcomes high-quality original contributions on experimental, computational, and physical aspects of convective heat transfer and fluid dynamics relevant to engineering or the environment, including multiphase and microscale flows.
Papers reporting the application of these disciplines to design and development, with emphasis on new technological fields, are also welcomed. Some of these new fields include microscale electronic and mechanical systems; medical and biological systems; and thermal and flow control in both the internal and external environment.
