Enhancement of heat transfer in forced convection by using dual low-high frequency ultrasound

Christophe Poncet et al.

Summary: The study investigates the combined use of dual-frequency ultrasound with sonication to enhance heat transfer in forced convection. Results show a synergistic effect with greater induced turbulence and heat transfer enhancement along the heating wall when compared to single-frequency sonication. The optimal configuration of dual-frequency sonication in this study achieves a local heat transfer enhancement factor of up to 366% and enhances Turbulent Kinetic Energy by up to 84% compared to a silent regime.
