Heat transfer augmentation in 3D internally finned and microfinned helical tube

Experiments are performed to investigate the single-phase flow and flow-boiling heat transfer augmentation in 3D internally finned and micro-finned helical tubes. The tests for single-phase flow heat transfer augmentation are carried out in helical tubes with a curvature of 0.0663 and a length of 1.15 m, and the examined range of the Reynolds number varies from 1000 to 8500. Within the applied range of Reynolds number, compared with the smooth helical tube, the average heat transfer augmentation ratio for the two finned tubes is 71% and 103%, but associated with a flow resistance increase of 90% and 140%, respectively. A higher fin height gives a higher heat transfer rate and a larger friction flow resistance. The tests for flow-boiling heat transfer are carried out in 3D internally micro-finned helical tube with a curvature of 0.0605 and a length of 0.668 m. Compared with that in the smooth helical tube, the boiling heat transfer coefficient in the 3D internally micro-finned helical tube is increased by 40-120% under varied mass flow rate and wall heat flux conditions, meanwhile, the flow resistance is increased by 18-119%, respectively.     

Characteristics of forced convection heat transfer in vertical internally finned tube

This work presents a numerical investigation of a vertical internally finned tube subjected to forced convection heat transfer. The governing equations were solved numerically using the control volume technique. Nusselt number, Nu, and friction factor multiplied by Reynolds number, fRe, are influenced greatly by the height and number of the radial fins. The velocity and temperature distributions inside the tube depend on the number and height of the radial fins. This paper suggests that for best heat transfer to be achieved there is an optimum combination of fin numbers and height.

Effect of lateral fin profiles on turbulent flow and heat transfer performance of internally finned tubes

Heat transfer performance of internally finned tubes with blocked core-tube was numerically investigated by the realizable k–ε turbulence model with wall function method using a commercial software FLUENT. Three kinds of lateral fin profiles, that is, S-shape, Z-shape and V-shape, were studied and compared. The corresponding correlations of Nusselt number and friction factor for different-shape internally finned tubes were obtained. The comprehensive performances of the studied tubes were compared under identical mass flow rate, identical pumping power and identical pressure drop conditions. It was found that tubes with S-shape fins and Z-shape fins were superior to that with V-shape fins, and moreover, tube with Z-shape fins had the best performance. The fin outer curvature radius R near the inner surface of out-tube for the S-shape finned tube had appreciable effect on heat transfer, whereas the fin inner curvature radius r near the outer surface of blocked core-tube had little impact on heat transfer. Hence, when manufacturing the internally finned tube with S-shape fins, it is better to select the outer curvature radius R as smaller as possible.

Heat transfer performance of a double-loop separate-type heat pipe: Measurement results

An experimental study is presented for the heat transfer performance of a rectangular double-loop natural circulation system, in which the condensers are made of double tubes with water-steam as the working fluid. Detailed temperature measurements of the core fluid and the wall are made, from which overall heat transfer coefficients for the evaporator, condensers, and entire system are obtained. Parametric studies of the liquid charge level, fluid properties, and heating or cooling conditions on the heat transfer performance are presented and correlation equations are given. The results show that the overall heat transfer coefficients for the evaporator, condensers, and entire loop are all increasing with decreasing liquid charge level. Overhead phenomena at low liquid charge level and thermal oscillation at some situations are also observed and discussed.

Heat transfer in a pulsating heat pipe with open end

Heat transfer in the evaporator and condenser sections of a pulsating heat pipe (PHP) with open end is modeled by analyzing thin film evaporation and condensation. The heat transfer solutions are applied to the thermal model of the pulsating heat pipe and a parametric study was performed. The results show that the heat transfer in a PHP is mainly due to the exchange of sensible heat. The frequency and amplitude of the oscillation is almost unaffected by surface tension after steady oscillation has been established. The amplitude of oscillation decreases with decreasing diameter. The amplitude of oscillation also decreases when the wall temperature of the heating section is decreased, but the frequency of oscillation is almost unchanged.

Channel cross section effect on heat transfer performance of oblique finned microchannel heat sink

In the present work, the effect of channel cross section on the heat transfer performance of an oblique finned micro-channel heat sink was investigated. Water and Al₂O₃/water nanofluid of volume fraction 0.25% were used as a coolant. The oblique finned microchannels are designed with three channel cross-sections namely square, semicircle and trapezoidal. The primary work of this paper is to study the heat transfer and hydrodynamic characteristics in the oblique finned microchannel. The experimental setup and procedure are validated using water as coolant in a micro-channel heat sink. Heat transfer and flow characteristics are examined for three cross-sections of varying mass flux. The trapezoidal channel cross-section increases the considerable heat transfer rate improvement for both water and nanofluid by 3.133% and 5.878% compared to square and semicircle cross section. Also, the pressure drop is higher in the trapezoidal cross-section over the square and semicircle cross section. This is due to increase in friction loss of trapezoidal cross section. The results indicate that trapezoidal cross-section oblique finned micro-channel is more suitable for heat transfer in the electronic cooling application.     

A numerical study of flow and heat transfer in internally finned rotating straight pipes and stationary curved pipes

In this article the effects of internal fins on laminar incompressible fluid flow and heat transfer inside rotating straight pipes and stationary curved pipes are numerically studied under hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed conditions. The fins are assumed to have negligible thickness with the same conditions as the pipe walls. Two cases, constant wall temperature and constant heat flux at the wall, are considered. First the accuracy of the numerical code written by a finite volume method based on SIMPLE algorithm is verified by the available data for the finless rotating straight pipes and stationary curved pipes, and then, the numerical results for those internally finned pipes are investigated in detail. The numerical results for different sizes and numbers of internal fins indicate that the flow and temperature field analogy between internally finned rotating straight pipes and stationary curved pipes still prevail. The effects of Dean number (K_L) versus friction factor, Nusselt number, and other non-dimensional parameters are studied in detail. From the numerical results obtained, an optimum fin height about 0.8 of pipe radius is determined for Dean numbers less than 100. At this optimum value, the heat transfer enhancement is maximum, and the heat transfer coefficient appears to be 6 times as that of corresponding finless pipes.

Numerical study of the intensified heat transfer of an internally longitudinal ridged finned tube under pulsating flow

The turbulent pulsating flow and heat transfer in an internally longitudinal protuberant finned tube was numerically investigated by solving unsteady three‐dimensional elliptical Navier–Stokes equations. The realized k–? turbulent model was adopted. The dynamic behaviors of velocity field, average Nusselt number, and friction number of the internally longitudinal protuberant finned tube were numerically analyzed in a pulsating period, and it was further investigated by changing the frequency of the pulsating flow. It was found that the intensity of heat transfer enhancement increases with an increase of pulsating frequency, while the pressure drop will be increased simultaneously, the intensification of heat transfer in internally longitudinal protuberant finned tubes are gradually better than the pressure drop with an increase of pulsating frequency. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
