The effect of nozzle geometry on the flow and heat transfer of pulsed impinging jet on the concave surface

Saeed Rakhsha et al.

Summary: The paper investigates the impact of nozzle geometry on the flow and heat transfer from a pulsed jet into a concave surface. Both experiments and numerical simulations were conducted, and the results showed that the nozzle geometry directly affects the air entrainment ratio and the average Nusselt number. Increasing the aspect ratio of the nozzle decreases the Nusselt number. Pulsating the inlet jet increased the average Nusselt number compared to a steady jet.

Numerical study on forced convection heat transfer of TiO2/water nanofluid flow inside a double-pipe heat exchanger with spindle-shaped turbulators

Mohsen Izadi et al.

Summary: A numerical study was conducted to investigate the impact of using nanofluid in a double-pipe heat exchanger with spindle-shaped turbulators on heat transfer rate and pressure drop. The results showed that adding 0.01 volumetric fraction of nanoparticles to the base fluid increased the heat transfer coefficient by 11.45% at Re 4000 and 11.91% at Re 7000. While increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles reduced the heat exchanger performance index, this reduction was minimal when compared to the base fluid at a volume fraction of 0.01.

Numerical simulation of the thermal-hydraulic performance of solar collector equipped with vector generators filled with two-phase hybrid nanofluid Cu-TiO2/H2O

Mohammadreza Niknejadi et al.

Summary: This research investigates the influence of vortex generators (VGs) with different geometric shapes and Cu-TiO2/H2O nanofluid (NF) on the thermal-hydraulic (TH) performance, energy efficiency, and exergy of a solar collector (SC). The study focuses on the turbulent flow regime (TFR) and uses the QUICK algorithm for equation discretization. Results show that convective heat transfer (CHT), average Nusselt number (Nuavg), and pressure drop (PD) all increase with the inlet velocity of Cu-TiO2/H2O NF flow. Additionally, the addition of VGs and changing their placement states improves the performance evaluation criterion (PEC) of the SC.

Experimental study of the heat transfer characteristics of plasma jets in circular tubes under applied magnetic fields with different orientations

Baoquan Mao et al.

Summary: Numerical studies have shown that heat transfer in magnetogasdynamic flow can be controlled by applying magnetic fields, but there lacks experimental verification. This study develops an experimental system to study the effects of magnetic fields on convective heat transfer of plasma jets in circular tubes. The results demonstrate that both parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields can suppress heat transfer, and the effect of the perpendicular field is anisotropic while the parallel field is isotropic. The magnetic field intensity, DBD reactor voltage, and airflow velocity also affect the heat transfer.

Experimental and numerical investigation on heat transfer and pressure drop of SiO2 and Al2O3 oil-based nanofluid characteristics through the different helical tubes under constant heat fluxes

Seyedmahmood Kia et al.

Summary: In this study, the heat transfer and pressure drop properties of Al2O3 and SiO2/Base oil nanofluid flow in a helical tube were investigated numerically and experimentally. The impact of various parameters, including flow Reynolds number, fluid temperature, nanoparticles, and weight concentrations, on the heat transfer factor and pressure drop was analyzed. The results showed that nanofluid enhanced the heat transfer factor and pressure drop compared to the base fluid. The Al2O3 nanofluid exhibited higher heat transfer coefficient than the SiO2 nanofluid. The maximum heat transfer rate was achieved with 0.5% mass concentrations of Al2O3 and SiO2 nanofluids. The helical tube geometry improved heat transfer by 19.5%, and reducing helical pitch and pitch circle diameter further enhanced the heat transfer.

Vibration effects on heat transfer characteristics of supercritical pressure hydrocarbon fuel in transition and turbulent states

Yang Zuo et al.

Summary: The heat transfer characteristics of supercritical pressure hydrocarbon fuel RP-3 flowing through horizontal vibrating tubes in transition and turbulent flow states were experimentally investigated. The effects of system pressure, heat flux, mass flow rate, inlet temperature, acceleration, and frequency on heat transfer with vibration were studied. The results showed that vibration significantly enhanced heat transfer in the entrance section, disturbed the development of thermal boundary layer, and promoted the transition of flowing state. The heat transfer enhancement became weaker with increasing Reynolds number and disappeared at Re > 12000. Furthermore, heat transfer was extremely enhanced at certain frequencies and displayed similar convective heat transfer trends along the tube at different x/d positions. A new heat-transfer empirical correlation describing the vibration effects on heat transfer was proposed based on the experimental results.

Summary: This paper evaluates thermal and frictional irreversibility rates in plate-pin-fin heatsinks, showing that frictional entropy generation rate is significantly lower than thermal term.
