Kinds of Transfer Coefficient Selected AbstractsIMPACT OF BLENDING OF FRYING OILS ON VISCOSITY AND HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURESJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 1 2010SUKUMAR DEBNATH ABSTRACT In the present work, the effect of binary blending of five frying oils on kinematic viscosity (,) and convective heat transfer coefficient (h) was studied at elevated temperatures (170, 180 and 190C). A Cannon Ubbelhode calibrated capillary viscometer (Cannon Instrument Company, State College, PA) in a custom-designed and fabricated convective air bath heater and a highly conductive cylindrical metal transducer were used for generating,and h data, respectively. The value of,decreased from 3.617 × 10 - 6 to 2.062 × 10 - 6 m2 s - 1, and h increased from 221.0 to 301.2 Wm - 2 C - 1 by increasing the aforementioned oil temperatures. A good correlation between, (R2 > 0.996) or h (R2 > 0.987) of these frying oils and their selected binary blends with the previously mentioned temperature range was observed. Significant difference (P < 0.05) was found between different levels of parameters when treatments were compared using Tukey's test. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS In food engineering applications, the physical properties of foods play an important role in the analysis of process parameters and in the design and fabrication of processing equipment. Determination of kinematic viscosity and convective heat transfer coefficients of frying oils and their selected blends at elevated temperatures are useful from an industrial point of view. In the present work, the effect of blending different edible oils on the kinematic viscosity and convective heat transfer coefficients at elevated temperatures was studied. Because selected blended oils provided lower levels of viscosities and higher levels of heat transfer coefficients, these results may be an attractive proposition in improving the quality of fried products and cost-effectiveness in the fried food industry. [source] HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT FOR COOKIE SHAPED OBJECTS IN A HOT AIR JET IMPINGEMENT OVENJOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 1 2001N. NITIN ABSTRACT Correlations for average heat transfer coefficient for cookie shaped objects in a hot air jet impingement oven were obtained using aluminum cookie models. The study was carried out in a pilot plant scale hot air jet impingement oven. The effects of individual cookie position, presence of surrounding cookies, air velocity, air temperature and rotation of the oven plate on average surface heat transfer coefficient were investigated. The value of the heat transfer coefficient ranged between 100,225 W/m2K and was found to be a strong function of jet air velocity. The impact of surrounding cookies on the heat transfer coefficient was more for smaller cookies, which had larger cookie-to-cookie spacing. [source] MRI tumor characterization using Gd-GlyMe-DOTA-perfluorooctyl-mannose-conjugate (Gadofluorine MÔ), a protein-avid contrast agentCONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING, Issue 3 2006Hans-Jürgen Raatschen Abstract The rationale and objectives were to define the MRI tumor-characterizing potential of a new protein-avid contrast agent, Gd-GlyMe-DOTA-perfluorooctyl-mannose-conjugate (Gadofluorine MÔ; Schering AG, Berlin, Germany) in a chemically induced tumor model of varying malignancy. Because of the tendency for this agent to form large micelles in water and to bind strongly to hydrophobic sites on proteins, it was hypothesized that patterns of dynamic tumor enhancement could be used to differentiate benign from malignant lesions, to grade the severity of malignancies and to define areas of tumor necrosis. Gadofluorine M, 0.05,mmol,Gd,kg,1, was administered intravenously to 28 anesthetized rats that had developed over 10 months mammary tumors of varying degrees of malignancy as a consequence of intraperitoneal administration of N -ethyl- N -nitrosourea (ENU), 45,250,mg,kg,1. These tumors ranged histologically from benign fibroadenomas to highly undifferentiated adenocarcinomas. Dynamic enhancement data were analyzed kinetically using a two-compartment tumor model to generate estimates of fractional plasma volume (fPV), apparent fractional extracellular volume (fEV*) and an endothelial transfer coefficient (KPS) for this contrast agent. Tumors were examined microscopically for tumor type, degree of malignancy (Scarff,Bloom,Richardson score) and location of necrosis. Eighteen tumor-bearing rats were successfully imaged. MRI data showed an immediate strong and gradually increasing tumor enhancement. KPS and fEV*, but not fPV obtained from tumors correlated significantly (p,<,0.05) with the SBR tumor grade, r,=,0.65 and 0.56, respectively. Estimates for KPS and fEV* but not fPV were significantly lower in a group consisting of benign and low-grade malignant tumors compared with the group of less-differentiated high-grade tumors (1.61,±,0.64 vs 3.37,±,1.49, p,<,0.01; 0.45,±,0.17 vs 0.78,±,0.24, p,<,0.01; and 0.076,±,0.048 vs 0.121,±,0.088, p,=,0.24, respectively). It is concluded that the protein-avid MRI contrast agent Gadofluorine M enhances tumors of varying malignancy depending on the tumor grade, higher contrast agent accumulation for more malignant lesions. The results show potential utility for differentiating benign and low-grade malignant lesions from high-grade cancers. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Electrochemical Behavior and Determination of L -Tyrosine at Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes Modified Glassy Carbon ElectrodeELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 11 2008Xiaozhi Yu Abstract Based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE/SWCNTs), a novel method was presented for the determination of L -tyrosine. The GCE/SWCNTs exhibited remarkable catalytic and enhanced effects on the oxidation of L -tyrosine. In 0.10,mol/L citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution, the oxidation potential of L -tyrosine shifted negatively from +1.23,V at bare GCE to +0.76,V at GCE/SWCNTs. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the linear range of the modified electrode to the concentration of L -tyrosine was 5.0×10,6,2.0×10,5,mol/L (R1=0.9952) and 2.7×10,5,2.6×10,4,mol/L (R2=0.9998) with a detection limit of 9.3×10,8,mol/L. The kinetic parameters such as , (charge transfer coefficient) and D (diffusion coefficient) were evaluated to be 0.66, 9.82×10,5,cm2 s,1, respectively. And the electrochemical mechanism of L -tyrosine was also discussed. [source] L -Cysteine Voltammetry at a Carbon Paste Electrode Bulk-Modified with Ferrocenedicarboxylic AcidELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 17 2007Jahan-Bakhsh Raoof Abstract The electrochemical behavior of L -cysteine studied at the surface of ferrocenedicarboxylic acid modified carbon paste electrode (FDCMCPE) in aqueous media using cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and double potential step chronoamperometry. It has been found that under optimum condition (pH,8.00) in cyclic voltammetry, the oxidation of L -cysteine occurs at a potential about 200,mV less positive than that of an unmodified carbon paste electrode. The kinetic parameters such as electron transfer coefficient, ,, and catalytic reaction rate constant, kh were also determined using electrochemical approaches. The electrocatalytic oxidation peak current of L -cysteine showed a linear dependent on the L -cysteine concentration and linear analytical curves were obtained in the ranges of 3.0×10,5 M,2.2×10,3 M and 1.5×10,5 M,3.2×10,3 M of L -cysteine concentration with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) methods respectively. The detection limits (3,) were determined as 2.6×10,5 M and 1.4×10,6 M by CV and DPV methods. [source] Electrocatalysis and Voltammetric Determination of Dopamine at a Calix[4]arene Crown-4 Ether Modified Glassy Carbon ElectrodeELECTROANALYSIS, Issue 4 2007Guo-Song Lai Abstract A sensitive and selective electrochemical method for the determination of dopamine (DA) was developed using a calix[4]arene crown-4 ether (CACE) film modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The modified electrode exhibited good electrocatalytic activity for electrochemical oxidation of DA in the pH,6.00 Britton,Robinson buffer solution, and ascorbic acid (AA) did not interfere with it. The diffusion coefficient (D=2.7×10,5,cm2 s,1), and the kinetic parameter such as the electron transfer coefficient (,=0.54) of DA at the surface of CACE were determined using electrochemical approaches. The catalytic oxidation peak currents showed a linear dependence on the DA concentration and a linear analytical curve was obtained in the range of 2.0×10,5,1.0×10,3,M of DA with a correlation coefficient of 0.9990. The detection limit (S/N=3) was estimated to be 3.4×10,6,M. This method was also examined for the determination of DA in an injection sample. In addition, effects of possible interferences were investigated. The present work shows the potential of the proposed method for the fabrication of a modified electrode, as it can be effectively used for voltammetric detection of DA. [source] Estimation of Joule heating effect on temperature and pressure distribution in electrokinetic-driven microchannel flowsELECTROPHORESIS, Issue 3 2006Reiyu Chein Professor Abstract In this study we present simple analytical models that predict the temperature and pressure variations in electrokinetic-driven microchannel flow under the Joule heating effect. For temperature prediction, a simple model shows that the temperature is related to the Joule heating parameter, autothermal Joule heating parameter, external cooling parameter, Peclet number, and the channel length to channel hydraulic diameter ratio. The simple model overpredicted the thermally developed temperature compared with the full numerical simulation, but in good agreement with the experimental measurements. The factors that affect the external cooling parameters, such as the heat transfer coefficient, channel configuration, and channel material are also examined based on this simple model. Based on the mass conservation, a simple model is developed that predicts the pressure variations, including the temperature effect. An adverse pressure gradient is required to satisfy the mass conservation requirement. The temperature effect on the pressure gradient is via the temperature-dependent fluid viscosity and electroosmotic velocity. [source] The long-term fate of polychlorinated biphenyls in San Francisco Bay (USA)ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY & CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2004Jay A. Davis Abstract A simple one-box mass budget model is presented as a first step toward a quantitative understanding of the long-term fate of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in San Francisco Bay (USA). Sensitivity analysis indicated that the most influential input parameters were degradation half-life in sediment, Kow, outflow, average PCB concentration in sediment, and depth of the active sediment layer. Moderately influential parameters included organic carbon content of suspended solids, sediment burial mass transfer coefficient, and Henry's law constant. If external loading could be eliminated entirely, the mass of PCBs in the bay is predicted to drop to half of the present value in 20 years. The model predicts that sustained loading of 10 kg year,1 would prevent the total PCB mass in the bay from ever dropping below 10% of the present mass. With a sustained loading of 20 kg year,1, the model predicts that the total PCB mass would never fall below about 25% of the present mass. The half-lives in the bay for the individual PCB congeners evaluated in this report ranged from four years for PCB 18 to 30 years for PCB 194. [source] Numerical Modelling of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Horizontal Metal-Foam Tubes,ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS, Issue 10 2009Wei Lu Abstract The flow boiling heat transfer performance in horizontal metal-foam tubes is numerically investigated based on the flow pattern map retrieved from experimental investigations. The flow pattern and velocity profile are generally governed by vapour quality and mass flow rate of the fluid. The porous media non-equilibrium heat transfer model is employed for modelling both vapour and liquid phase zones. The modelling predictions have been compared with experimental results. The effects of metal-foam morphological parameters, heat flux and mass flux on heat transfer have been examined. The numerical predictions show that the overall heat transfer coefficient of the metal-foam filled tube increases with the relative density (1-porosity), pore density (ppi), mass and heat flux. [source] Pedotransfer functions for solute transport parameters of Portuguese soilsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE, Issue 4 2001M. C. Gonc, alves Summary The purpose of this study is to quantify solute transport parameters of fine-textured soils in an irrigation district in southern Portugal and to investigate their prediction from basic soil properties and unsaturated hydraulic parameters. Solute displacement experiments were carried out on 24 undisturbed soil samples by applying a 0.05 m KCl pulse during steady flow. The chloride breakthrough curves (BTCs) were asymmetric, with early breakthrough and considerable tailing characteristic of non-equilibrium transport. The retardation factor (R), dispersion coefficient (D), partitioning coefficient (,), and mass transfer coefficient (,) were estimated by optimizing the solution of the non-equilibrium convection,dispersion equation (CDE) to the breakthrough data. The solution could adequately describe the observed data as proved by a median of 0.972 for the coefficient of determination (r2) and a median for the mean squared error (MSE) of 5.1 × 10,6. The median value for R of 0.587 suggests that Cl, was excluded from a substantial part of the liquid phase. The value for , was typically less than 0.5, but the non-equilibrium effects were mitigated by a large mass transfer coefficient (, > 1). Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) were developed with regression and neural network analyses to predict R, D, , and , from basic soil properties and unsaturated hydraulic parameters. Fairly accurate predictions could be obtained for logD (r2 , 0.9) and , (r2 , 0.8). Prediction for R and log, were relatively poor (r2 , 0.5). The artificial neural networks were all somewhat more accurate than the regression equations. The networks are also more suitable for predicting transport parameters because they require only three input variables, whereas the regression equations contain many predictor variables. [source] Closed-form thermal stress intensity factors for an internal circumferential crack in a thick-walled cylinderFATIGUE & FRACTURE OF ENGINEERING MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES, Issue 8 2010R. GHAJAR ABSTRACT In this paper the method of weight functions is employed to calculate the stress intensity factors for an internal circumferential crack in a thick-walled cylinder. The pressurized cylinder is also subjected to convection cooling on the inner surface. Finite element method is used to determine an accurate weight function for the crack and a closed-form thermal stress intensity factor with the aid of the weight function method is extracted. The influence of crack parameter and the heat transfer coefficient on the stress intensity factors are determined. Comparison of the results in the special cases with those cited in the literature and the finite element data shows that the results are in very good agreement. [source] Boiling heat transfer coefficient of R22 and an HFC/HC refrigerant mixture in a fin-and-tube evaporator of a window air conditionerHEAT TRANSFER - ASIAN RESEARCH (FORMERLY HEAT TRANSFER-JAPANESE RESEARCH), Issue 6 2010M. Herbert Raj Abstract The commonly used refrigerant in unitary type air conditioners is R22 and its phase out schedule in developing countries is to commence from 2015. Many alternatives to R22 are found in published literature in which R407C has similar characteristics to those of R22 except for its zeotropic nature. However, R407C which is an HFC is made compatible with the mineral oil lubricant in the system compressor by the addition of 20% of HC. This HFC/HC mixture called the M20 refrigerant mixture is reported to be a retrofit refrigerant for R22. Though its latent heat value is greater than that of R22, its refrigerating capacity is lower when it is used to retrofit R22 window air conditioners. Hence, a heat transfer analysis was conducted in the evaporator of a room air conditioner, for practically realized heat flux conditions during standard performance testing. The tests were conducted as per the BIS and ASHRAE standards. Kattan,Thome,Favrat maps are used to confirm the flow patterns, which prevail inside the fin-and-tube evaporator in the tested operating conditions. It is revealed that the heat transfer coefficient/heat fluxes are poorer for M20 because of the lower mass flow rate and higher vapor fraction at the entry of the evaporator than that of R22 in the prevailing operating conditions. The heat transfer coefficients of the M20 refrigerant mixture under various test conditions are lower in the range of 14% to 56% than those of R22. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The prediction model was based on two main experimental observation results. One is the phenomena of the condensate retention at the bottom of each row of the dispersed fin. Another is the offset phenomena of the condensate flow between each row of the dispersed fin. Given the results by the present model, it is predicted that the dependence of the condensation heat transfer coefficient for the dispersed finned surface on the fin pitch is controlled mainly by the dispersed fin length, not the total fin length. On the contrary, for a different fin pitch, the effect to the condensation heat transfer by dispersing the fin is different. From comparison with the experiment results, it is confirmed that the present model was able to predict the condensation with extremely good precision when the fin pitch was larger. Further, when the fin pitch was smaller, the predicted values were higher than the experimental values, but the tendency of the condensation heat transfer with dispersing the fin was nearly predicted. In addition, this condensing model can predict the experimental values with an error of 25% at the maximum in a range of fin pitch 0.6 mm to 1 mm. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Tested tube layouts were single tubes, transverse single tube rows, longitudinal single tube rows, and in-line arranged tube bundles. A total of 7 kinds of particles were used. Comparisons of the experimental data showed a good agreement with the heat transfer correlation developed for staggered layouts, when the average liquid velocity through each tube bundle was used as the reference velocity for the particle Reynolds number. Distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient was also investigated around tubes. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A latent heat recovery type heat exchanger is one of the effective methods of improving thermal efficiency by recovering latent heat. This paper described the heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics of a latent heat recovery type heat exchanger having a wing fin (fin pitch: 4 mm, fin length: 65 mm). These were clarified by measuring the exchange heat quantity, the pressure loss of heat exchanger, and the heat transfer coefficient between outer fin surface and gas. The effects of condensate behavior in the fins on heat transfer and pressure loss characteristics were clarified. Furthermore, the equations for predicting the heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss which are necessary in the design of the heat exchanger were proposed. ©2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The heat transfer performance of a porous media combustor strongly depends on the thermophysical properties of the porous material. In order to explore how the material properties influence reciprocating superadiabatic combustion of premixed gases in porous media (short for RSCP), a two-dimensional mathematical model of a simplified RSCP combustor is developed based on the hypothesis of local thermal non-equilibrium between the solid and the gas phases by solving separate energy equations for these two phases. The porous media is assumed to emit, absorb, and isotropically scatter radiation. The finite-volume method is used for computing radiation heat transfer processes. The flow and temperature fields are calculated by solving the mass, moment, gas and solid energy, and species conservation equations with a finite difference/control volume approach. Since the mass fraction conservation equations are stiff, an operator splitting method is used to solve them. The results show that the volumetric convective heat transfer coefficient and extinction coefficient of the porous media obviously affect the temperature distributions of the combustion chamber and burning speed of the gases, but thermal conductivity does not have an obvious effect. It indicates that convective heat transfer and heat radiation are the dominating ways of heat transfer, while heat conduction is a little less important. The specific heat of the porous media also has a remarkable impact on temperature distribution of gases and heat release rate. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It was found from the experiment that the effect of fins begins to appear in an aligned-arrangement with larger fin spacing than in a staggered-arrangement. The degradation in the local heat transfer coefficient due to fins can be recognized not only on the rear region of the tube, as observed in other arrangements, but also on the frontal region. As a result of this phenomenon, the degradation in the average heat transfer coefficient in an aligned-arrangement becomes larger than in other arrangements with the same fin spacing. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A thermosensitive liquid crystal sheet was used for the heat transfer measurements and the three velocity components were measured with LDV in the stagnation region for cases where the Swirl number Sw = 0.0, 0.22, and 0.45 at the Reynolds number Re = 8100. The formation of recirculation flow due to a swirl near the impinging wall was found to deteriorate the heat transfer coefficient in the stagnation region and results in a more uniform distribution of the Nusselt number with an increasing Swirl number. The heat transfer mechanism of the swirling impinging jet is discussed based on the flow characteristics of the mean velocities and turbulence quantities. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In the experiment, a total of 5 kinds of tube bundles in an equilateral triangular staggered arrangement, including a single tube, was used. Tested particles were of glass and ceramics, and their diameter range was from 2.1 to 6.0 mm. It was found that the distribution of local heat transfer coefficients around a tube depends not on the kind of particles, but on the tube pitch only, when a good fluidizing condition is maintained. Based on the experimental data, a new method was proposed to predict average heat transfer coefficient, which can be applicable for tube bundles having a tube pitch to diameter ratio of 1.2 to infinity (single tube). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The maximal temperature difference of the block surface on which pure steam condensed was 11°C when the block was cooled by the normal temperature water. Regulations and modes of Marangoni condensation for mixture vapor with different mass fractions were studied when the speed of vapor was 0.3 m/s. As both temperature gradients and concentration gradients exist on the condensing surface, the experimental results indicate that the maximal heat transfer coefficient of mixture vapor can be 2.8 times that of pure steam when the Marangoni condensation of mixture vapor appears. The heat transfer coefficient of mixture vapor increases with the decrease of surface subcooling, and it appears a steep increase when the surface subcooling is small enough; the heat transfer flux has a maximum value as the surface subcooling rises; and the different modes of condensation are confirmed when the different ethanol concentration and different surface subcooling exist. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

With this objective in mind, experiments were carried out on five kinds of test elements with distilled water and ethanol as working liquids. The test elements used in these experiments consisted of five parallel discs with diameters varying from 5 mm to 40 mm. The experiments were performed with the discs oriented horizontally and uniform heat fluxes applied at the bottom surfaces. The influence of narrow spacing, space size, working liquid property, and heat flux on boiling heat transfer performance in narrow spaces has been investigated. Experimental results showed that the boiling heat transfer coefficient of a narrow space was 3 to 6 times higher than that of pool boiling when the narrow space size and heat flux combine adequately, but the critical heat flux was lower than that of pool boiling. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of the concentration of alcohol and the surface- active agent on surface tension was experimentally clarified, in order to gain base data related to enhancement of the heat transfer coefficient in the mixtures and water. The experiment was also carried out to enhance the boiling heat transfer coefficients of water and alcohol/water mixtures on a horizontal heated fine wire at a pressure of 0.1 MPa by adding a surface-active agent into the tested liquid. The results show, the coefficients were enhanced in lower alcohol concentration (C , 0.5) and low heat flux range which occur just after the onset of boiling. It was also found that the enhancement effect by the surfactant disappears in concentrations over 1000 ppm. Finally, we demonstrated that the surface tension remarkably affects the heat transfer coefficients in nucleate pool boiling. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Lu Abstract Knowledge of heat transfer coefficients is important in the design and operation of CFB boilers. It is the key to determining the area and the layout of the heat transfer surfaces in a CFB furnace. Local bulk density has a close relationship to the local heat transfer coefficient. Using a heat flux probe and bulk density sampling probe, the local bed to wall heat transfer coefficient in the furnace of a 75 t/h CFB boiler was measured. According to the experimental results and theoretical analysis of the facts that influence the heat transfer, the heat transfer coefficient calculation method for the CFB furnace was developed. The heat transfer surface configuration, heating condition, and the material density are considered in this method. The calculation method has been used in the design of CFB boilers with a capacity from 130 t/h to 420 t/h. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The experiment was carried out at pressures of 0.4 and 0.7 MPa, at heat fluxes below 2.0 × 106 W/m2, and over a range of mass fraction. The heat transfer coefficients in the mixtures were smaller than those in single-component substances. No existing correlation is found to predict boiling heat transfer coefficients over the range of mass fraction of interest. In the mixtures of the ammonia/water, the heats of dilution and dissolution were generated near a liquid surface while vapor with a rich concentration of ammonia was condensed and then was diffused into the bulk liquid; while in most other mixtures, little heat was generated during any dilution and dissolution. In relation to the heat generated, the effect of the heats of dilution and dissolution on pressure and temperature in a system (pressure vessel) is shown herein. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A cylindrical heater 0.88 mm in diameter is placed in saturated water, in which a lot of mobile particles exist, and the nucleate and film boiling heat transfer characteristics are measured. Particle materials used were alumina, glass, and porous alumina, and the diameter ranged from 0.3 mm to 2.5 mm. Particles are fluidized by the occurrence of boiling without any additive power, and the heat transfer is augmented. The maximum augmentation ratio obtained in this experiment reaches about ten times the heat transfer coefficient obtained in liquid alone. The augmentation ratio is mainly affected by the particle material, diameter, and the height of the particle bed set at no boiling condition. The augmentation mechanism is discussed on the basis of the experimental results. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 31(1): 28,41, 2002 [source] Forced convective heat transfer for fluid flowing through a porous medium with internal heat generationHEAT TRANSFER - ASIAN RESEARCH (FORMERLY HEAT TRANSFER-JAPANESE RESEARCH), Issue 3 2001Hua Du Abstract Forced convection in channels filled with packed beads with internal heat source was numerically analyzed by using the extended Darcy model for the flow and energy conservation equations with nonthermal equilibrium (NTE). The temperature difference between the matrix and fluid phases was discussed with three dimensionless parameters (Rep, H/dp, and ks/kf). It is concluded that the thermal equilibrium assumption may be adopted for the situation when the solid conduction dominated over the convection or when the heat transfer coefficient between the two phases is large at large Rep. The Nusselt number at the wall with the variation of Rep for different ks/kf was also investigated. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(3): 213,221, 2001 [source] An inverse radiation problem of simultaneous estimation of heat transfer coefficient and absorption coefficient in participating mediaINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING, Issue 6 2003H. M. Park Abstract An inverse radiation problem is investigated where the spatially varying heat transfer coefficient h(z) and the absorption coefficient , in the radiant cooler are estimated simultaneously from temperature measurements. The inverse radiation problem is solved through the minimization of a performance function, which is expressed by the sum of square residuals between calculated and observed temperature, using the conjugate gradient method. The gradient of the performance function is evaluated by means of the improved adjoint variable method that can take care of both the function estimation and the parameter estimation efficiently. The present method is found to estimate h(z) and , with reasonable accuracy even with noisy temperature measurements. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Effect of incidence angle with wake passing on a film cooled leading edge: A numerical studyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN FLUIDS, Issue 12 2010F. Montomoli Abstract This work presents the numerical study of a film-cooled blade under the influence of wake passing at different incidence angles. The film cooling technology has been proven to be effective to increase the blade life of first turbine stages. However, the leading edge is affected by an high heat transfer rate and cooling this region is difficult. Moreover, separated regions downstream the coolant injection increases the local heat transfer coefficient and can have a detrimental effect in terms of airfoil life. This work analyses how the flow field is affected by the wake passing at different incidence angles (,5, 0, 5) and the impact on heat transfer coefficient. The test case is a linear cascade with two rows of cylindrical holes at the leading edge. Two different holes arrangements are compared in terms of film cooling structures, namely AGTB-B1 and AGTB-B2 with 0 and 45, spanwise inclination. The numerical results show a good agreement with the experiments. A deeper investigation is carried out on AGTB-B1. The results obtained show that the wake passing and the incidence angle have a strong effect on coolant jets. In particular, there is a significative impact on coolant redistribution near the leading edge. The wake passing has a stronger effect on pressure side, mainly at negative incidence. The predictive approach is based on an U-RANS in-house CFD solver using a conventional two-equations closure. In order to avoid extra turbulence production, critical in the leading edge region, the turbulence model incorporates an extra algebraic equation that enforces a realizability constraint. The unsteady formulation is based on a dual time stepping approach with a sliding plane between the moving bars and the cascade. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Mokheimer Abstract This technical note communicates the thermal performance of a modified ten-Ton Refrigerant Direct Expansion (10-TR DX) air conditioning unit into a chiller under actual operating conditions. The modified unit achieved higher COP and cooling capacity compared with conventional DX. The increase in the unit cooling capacity is basically attributed to the enhanced heat transfer coefficient of the Plate-and-Frame Heat Exchanger evaporator. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Two-phase flow convective condensation of refrigerant mixtures under gas/liquid injectionINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENERGY RESEARCH, Issue 15 2005Samuel M. Sami Abstract The influence of gas/liquid injection on two-phase flow condensation heat transfer characteristics of some refrigerant mixtures in horizontal enhanced surface tubing is presented. Correlations were proposed to predict the impact of the gas/liquid injection on the heat transfer characteristics such as average heat transfer coefficient of R-507, R-404A, R-410A, and R-407C in two-phase flow condensation inside enhanced surface tubing. The data also revealed that gas, liquid and gas/liquid injection is beneficial at certain gas/liquid injection ratios to the heat transfer coefficient depending upon the Reynolds number and the condensation point of the refrigerant mixtures in question. It was also evident that the proposed condensation correlations and the experimental data were applicable to the entire heat and mass flux, investigated in the present study under gas/liquid injection conditions. The deviation between the experimental and predicted under gas/liquid injection were less than ± 10, for the majority of data. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
