A numerical study on flow and heat transfer characteristics of film cooling with a compound angle hole

A numerical simulation has been performed for the investigation of flow and heat transfer characteristics of a film cooling system injected through a hole with compound angle orientation. The finite volume method is employed to discretize the governing equations based on the non-orthogonal coordinate with non-staggered variable arrangement. In order to analyze flow and heat transfer characteristics, velocity, temperature, aerodynamic loss coefficient, skin friction and vorticity are calculated with the variation of the skew angle. The maximum longitudinal vorticity and aerodynamics loss depend strongly on the skew angle. For the symmetric case of β=0 deg, a pair of counter-rotating vortices are formed and the maximum value of the film cooling effectiveness has appeared in the center plane where the skin friction is the minimum. For the skew angle of β=30 deg and above, only one strong counter-clockwise vortex remains in the downstream region and the maximum value of the film cooling effectiveness are obtained on the right side of the vortex. The predicted results for the film cooling effectiveness show good agreements with previous experimental data except the near-hole region.     

Effect of convex wall curvature on three-dimensional behavior of film cooling jet

The flow characteristics of film coolant issuing into turbulent boundary layer developing on a convex surface have been investigated by means of flow visualization and three-dimensional velocity measurement. The Schlieren optical system with a spark light source was adopted to visualize the jet trajectory injected at 35° and 90° inclination angles. A five-hole directional pressure probe was used to measure three-dimensional mean velocity components at the injection angle of 35°. Flow visualization shows that at the 90° injection, the jet flow is greatly changed near the jet exit due to strong interaction with the crossflow. On the other hand, the balance between radial pressure gradient and centrifugal force plays an important role to govern the jet flow at the 35° injection. The velocity measurement shows that at a velocity ratio of 0.5, the curvature stabilizes downstream flow, which results in weakening of the bound vortex structure. However, the injectant flow is separated from the convex wall gradually, and the bound vortex maintains its structure far downstream at a velocity ratio of 1.98 with two pairs of counter rotating vortices.

应用FLUENT软件对内部绕流形式不同的7种层板结构进行流动与换热的耦合计算,分析扰流柱、冲击孔、气膜孔之间的排布方式以及堵塞比等参数对层板冷却效率与相对压力损失的影响规律。研究表明,层板结构以冲击孔和气膜孔呈现长菱形分布、扰流柱呈梭子形排布的方式较好,压力损失小,综合冷却效率可以提高10%左右;在进气流量相同的情况下,不同的层板结构压力损失相差不大,压力损失主要发生在从环腔经气膜壁进入火焰筒流出的过程中;增加扰流柱的数量或者是增大扰流柱的直径都会带来堵塞比的增大,层板的相对压力损失会随之增加,综合冷却效率增大,一定程度上强化了换热。     

Measurements of temperature fields within film-cooling jets injected from a row of compound angle holes

Thermal fields downstream of the film-cooling jets injected through compound angle holes in a row have been measured with variations of the orientation angle and the blowing ratio. Detailed temperature distributions within the heated jets are reported for four orientation angles of 0 deg, 30 deg, 60 deg and 90 deg with three blowing ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. The inclination angle, span-to-diameter ratio and length-to-diameter of the injection holes are fixed at 30 deg, 3.0 and 4.0, respectively, throughout the experiments. The result shows that the increase of the orientation angle results in uniform spanwise film coverage and improved film-cooling performance. The compound angle effects are found to be dominant in the case that the orientation angle is larger than 60 deg, especially when the blowing ratio is higher than unity.     

Cooling of a heated surface with an impinging water spray

Several important parameters, such as liquid mass flux, droplet size distribution, droplet velocity, and heating target conditions (roughness and surface temperature) are involved in the industrial spray cooling heat transfer process. In this study, we investigated the effect of liquid mass flux, heating target roughness, and the droplet size on the droplet wall direct contact heat transfer in spray cooling phenomena. Three different conditions of surface roughness were investigated. The measurement of test surface temperature was performed using a non-intrusive method, i. e., using an infrared thermometer. The droplet size distribution of water spray was measured with Malvern 2600. The results indicated that the most influential parameters were the liquid mass flux and the surface roughness. The droplet size and the velocity played a less important role in the direct contact heat transfer because the interactions between droplets were very strong in a dense spray. The smooth surface showed the highest heat transfer among the surfaces tested. At high air pressure ([7] kPa), however, the degree of roughness did not affect much the heat transfer rate.

An analytic study on laminar film condensation along the interior surface of a cave-shaped cavity of a flat plate heat pipe

An analytic approach has been employed to study condensate film thickness distribution inside cave-shaped cavity of a flat plate heat pipe. The results indicate that the condensate film thickness largely depends on mass flow rate and local velocity of condensate. The increasing rate of condensate film for circular region reveals about 50% higher value than that of vertical region. The physical properties of working fluid affect significantly the condensate film thickness, such as the condensate film thickness for the case of FC-40 are 5 times larger than that of water. In comparison with condensation on a vertical wall, the average heat transfer coefficient in the cave-shaped cavity presented 10-15% lower values due to the fact that the average film thickness formed inside the cave-shaped cavity was larger than that of the vertical wall with an equivalent flow length. A correlation formula which is based on the condensate film analysis for the cave-shaped cavity to predict average heat transfer coefficient is presented. Also, the critical minimum fill charge ratio of working fluid based on condensate film analysis has been predicted, and the minimum fill charge ratios for FC-40 and water are about Ψ_crit= 3-7%, Ψ_crit=0.5-1.3%, respectively, in the range of heat fluxq” = 5-90kW/²     

Thermal performance analysis of heat exchanger for closed wet cooling tower using heat and mass transfer analogy

In closed wet cooling towers, the heat transfer between the air and external tube surfaces can be composed of the sensible heat transfer and the latent heat transfer. The heat transfer coefficient can be obtained from the equation for external heat transfer of tube banks. According to experimental data, the mass transfer coefficient was affected by the air velocity and spray water flow rate. This study provides the correlation equation for mass transfer coefficient based on the analogy of the heat and mass transfer and the experimental data. The results from this correlation equation showed fairly good agreement with experimental data. The cooling capacity and thermal efficiency of the closed wet cooling tower were calculated from the correlation equation to analyze the performance of heat exchanger for the tower.

Effect of thermal radiation on convection heat transfer in cooling channel of photovoltaic thermal system

The effect of thermal radiation on convection heat transfer in flat-box type cooling channel of photovoltaic thermal system with tilt angle of 30 degree was studied by 3D numerical simulation under constant heat flux boundary condition. The temperature contours and velocity fields of fluid near the outlet were obtained. The variations of wall temperature and convection Nusselt number along flow direction for all the separate walls composing the cooling channel were compared and analyzed. The results show that due to thermal radiation, the deflection of the maximum velocity region to heated top wall, together with the asymmetry of temperature field is weakened. For natural convection, radiation promotes the formation of multi-vortices. For mixed convection, heat transfer on all the cooling channel walls is enhanced under the condition of lower heat flux while heat transfer on heated top wall is deteriorated when the heat flux is relative high. Also, pressure re-rising is promoted by thermal radiation.     

Effects of injection type on slot film cooling for a ramjet combustor

A slot film cooling technique has been used to protect a combustor liner from hot combustion gas. This method has been developed for gas turbine combustors. A ramjet combustor exposed to high temperature can be protected properly with a multi-slot film cooling method. An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the change of the first slot angle under recirculation flow and the influence of wiggle strip within a slot, which affects the film cooling effectiveness. The first slot angle has been changed to understand the effect of the injection angle on the film cooling effectiveness in a recirculation zone. The distribution of dimensionless temperature was obtained by a thermocouple rake to investigate the wiggle strip effect, and the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness on downstream wall was measured by a thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) method. At the first slot position, the film cooling effectiveness decreases significantly because of the effects of recirculation flow. The lip angle of the first slot affects slightly on the film cooling effectiveness. The wiggle strip reinforces the structure of slot and keeps the uniform open area of slot. However, it induces three dimensional flows and enhances the flow mixing between the main flow and the injected slot flow. Therefore, the wiggle strip decreases slightly the overall film cooling effectiveness.

A model for the condensation heat transfer of binary refrigerant mixtures

In the present work turbulent film condensation of nonazeotropic binary mixtures inside a horizontal tube is studied theoretically. The combined heat and mass transfer involved is analyzed through an integral formulation of the continuity, momentum, energy and diffusion equations. As the mass velocity of refrigerant mixtures increases, the condensation heat transfer coefficient increases. The heat transfer coefficient becomes smaller at higher mass quality. As the mole fraction of the more volatile component in binary mixtures increases, the back-diffusion mass flux of the more volatile component reduces in the vapor. As a result the condensation heat transfer coefficient improves with the increase of the inlet mole fraction of the more volatile component especially in the upstream of condenser. The results of the present study show good agreement with the experimental data available.     

Measurement and correlation of boiling heat transfer coefficient of R-1234yf in horizontal small tubes

We report experimental data of boiling heat transfer of R-1234yf in horizontal small tubes.

The flow pattern of the experimental data was mapped and analyzed with existing flow pattern maps. The heat transfer coefficient was also compared with some well-known correlations.     

Effect of Surface Velocity Directions on Elastohydrodynamic Film Shape

This article is focused on the effects of the angle between lubricant entrainment velocity and sliding velocity on elastohydrodynamic film thickness distribution. Thin-film colorimetric interferometry was used to evaluate the film thickness distribution in smooth glass–steel contacts to provide basic data on the effects of the slide–roll ratio and the direction of sliding with respect to entrainment velocity. It was observed that as the sliding perpendicular to the entrainment velocity increased, the overall film thickness was reduced and asymmetry of the film profile with respect to the direction of the entrainment velocity increased. The asymmetry of the film profile with respect to the direction of the entrainment velocity increased with the entrainment speed or the overall film thickness. When the speed of the glass disk was larger than that of the steel ball, a dimple was formed even if there was a difference in direction between the entrainment and sliding velocities. A part of the dimple was exhausted from the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conjunction as the angle between the entrainment and sliding velocities approached 90°.     

Experimental and numerical study of piston thermal management using piston cooling jet

This research investigates the effects of piston cooling jet (PCJ) on the temperature and heat transfer of a piston. A numerical model was developed by using the computational fluid dynamic approach in which the fluid and solid domains of the piston were coupled in a three-dimensional space. Two-phase flow of oil and air was also simulated. This method was used to analyze the effects of oil velocity and piston position on the heat transfer coefficient at the bottom of the piston as the new outcomes of this study. For the experiment, combustion heat flux on the piston was simulated in a test rig, and numerical results were validated. The results showed a linear relation between the oil jet velocity and the average of heat transfer coefficient at the bottom of the piston, and a periodic correlation between the piston’s vertical position and the average of heat transfer coefficient. The average of the piston crown temperature could be reduced to about 70 K by using the PCJ system, but this cooling method could create 50 K temperature gradient in the piston.     

Enhancement of the critical heat flux by using heat spreader

Direct immersion cooling has been considered as one of the promising methods to cool high power density chips. A fluorocarbon liquid such as FC-72, which is chemically and electrically compatible with microelectronic components, is known to be a proper coolant for direct immersion cooling. However, boiling in this dielectric fluid is characterized by its small value of the critical heat flux. In this experimental study, we tried to enhance the critical heat flux by increasing the nucleate boiling area in the heat spreader (Conductive Immersion Cooling Module). Heat flux of 2 MW/m² was successfully removed at the heat source temperature below 78°C in FC-72. Some modified boiling curves at high heat flux were obtained from these modules. Also, the concept of conduction path length is very important in enhancing the critical heat flux by increasing the heat spreader surface area where nucleate boiling occurs.     

Theoretical modeling and numerical solution of stratified condensation in inclined tubes

The heat transfer phenomenon occurring during stratified condensation inside an inclined tube is investigated theoretically and numerically. Differential equations governing the kinematic, dynamic, and thermal aspects for vapor condensation inside inclined tubes, which are derived from a thin film flow modeling, are solved simultaneously. These solutions are achieved by applying an explicit finite difference numerical method to predict the condensation heat transfer coefficient variations along the tangential and axial coordinates. The inclination angle is found to have a significant effect on condensation heat transfer coefficient inside inclined tubes. In addition, in accordance with the given physical and thermal condition of working fluids, there is a specific optimum inclination angle. In this study, the 30°–50° range from the horizontal position is found to be the range of the optimum inclination angle for achieving the maximum condensation heat transfer coefficient, with R134a, R141b, and R11 as the working fluids. The results of the present study are compared with experimental data, and a good agreement is observed between them.
