Study of forced convection heat transfer characteristics in modified structures derived from the Weaire-Phelan foam geometry

Weaire-Phelan (thereafter W-P) structures, as a foam-liked structures, were widely used in the field of flow and heat transfer. The effect of various methods for removing connecting struts on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of W-P structures was investigated, while maintaining constant porosity for all structures. Furthermore, the influence of porosity on the optimal strut removal scheme for W-P structures was examined. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to analyse the flow and heat transfer characteristics of these structures. Additionally, four representative structures were created through 3D printing technology to experimentally validate the results. The effects of geometric structure parameters on the flow resistance and heat transfer characteristics of different structures were also analysed in depth. The findings indicate that all the proposed methods for removing connecting struts result in a reduction in pressure drop of up to 20.2 %. However, the most overall heat transfer performance (OHTP) was achieved when only the symmetry direction connecting struts were removed. Furthermore, as porosity decreases, the improvement in OHTP with the strut removal scheme becomes more significant compared to the original W-P. This study provides ideas for the optimisation of complex strut structures.

Flow field and heat transfer in the transitional type of turbulent round jet impingement

Jet impingement heat transfer in the transitional type involves the occurrence and disappearance of the secondary maximum heat transfer, which is challenging for numerical simulation. In the paper, the effects of the nozzle-plate spacing H/D on heat transfer and flow fields in the range of 5≤H/D≤7 within the transitional type are investigated. In this type, the secondary maximum heat transfer rate gradually vanishes. In addition, the transitional properties of jet impingement are further discussed. It is found that the heat transfer rate at the stagnation point shows an important relationship with the arriving stream Reynolds number and turbulence intensity. Additionally, three heat transfer modes, i.e., the peak (5<H/D≤5.5), swelling (5.5<H/D≤6.6), and linear modes (6.6<H/D≤7), are identified in the transitional type based on the analysis of the heat transfer rate, development of the intermittency, and the wall shear stress. For the latter two aspects, the laminar zone and the turbulence zone are discussed in detail for different H/D. In the peak mode, heat transfer rate is largely influenced by the transition process, resulting in a secondary peak. While in the swelling mode, the second peak evolves to a swelling and the effect of transition becomes weak. As a result, the influences of the laminar region will extend to downstream. However, in the linear mode, the swelling vanishes with a mild change of intermittency in the boundary layer and the sudden mutation of heat transfer mainly takes place in the stagnation region.

Enhancing thermal performance in power electronic modules through a novel micro-nozzle model and hybrid nanoparticles with varied shape factors

Temperature uniformity in high-heat-flux electronic devices is an important concern in the field of micro-scale heat transfer. The present study recommends four novel configurations of cone-shaped nozzles to reduce the temperature of Si-IGBT electrical modules. Moreover, the thermal characteristics of working fluid (H2O) improved using a 1 % to 5 % volume fraction of Fe3O4 –Ag (50 % -50 %) nanoparticles with Spherical, Blades, and Lamina synthetic shapes. The constant heat flux ranging from 110 W/cm2 to 240 W/cm2 was considered a boundary condition for the top of the module, i.e. IGBT and the Diode. The simulation was conducted by computational fluid dynamic software ANSYS-FLUENT-18.2 which employed the Realizable k-ε model for turbulence flow. The outputs indicated that the spiral nozzles (Case 4) increase the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) compared to simple cone-shaped nozzles (Case 1). It was also found that the use of hybrid nanoparticles causes an increase in the cooling of the fluid and moves away from the critical point (393.15 K). On the other hand, the synthetic forms of Lamina have caused a reduction of the temperature by almost 2.3 % relative to other forms of nanoparticles because of their higher thermal permeability.

Long-Term Resistance to Phase Change-Induced Wetting Transition on Biphilic Armored Superhydrophobic Surfaces.

Material surfaces maintaining a liquid super-repellent is crucial in fields such as anti-fouling, drag reduction, and heat transfer. Superhydrophobic surfaces provide an effective approach but suffer from phase change-induced wetting transitions, hindering their practical applications. In this work, Biphilic armored superhydrophobic surfaces (BASS) are designed by integrating hydrophilic interconnected surface frames with superhydrophobic nanostructures. The hydrophilic top of the frame provides spatial selectivity for condensate droplet nucleation, and superhydrophobic nanostructures enable staying dry. Further growth, coalescence, jumping, and roll-off of the condensate droplets on BASS, show remarkable resistance to phase change-induced wetting transition. It still maintains stable superhydrophobicity when exposed to 100°C of steam for 240 h, at least two orders of magnitude improvement over traditional superhydrophobic surfaces. Such a designing BASS provides an effective approach to address the phase change-induced wetting transition, thereby extending the practical application in the fields of condensation heat transfer, anti-fouling, and fluid transportation of superhydrophobic surfaces.

Numerical study on the thermal performance of space radiator using microencapsulated phase change material slurry as working medium

Microencapsulated phase change material slurry (MPCMS) has good prospects in the field of heat transfer because of its high latent heat and stability. In this research, MPCMS is applied to a space radiator to increase its heat load and temperature stability. The thermal performance of the space radiator is numerically studied by using the two-phase Eulerian (TPE) model and a multi-scale coupling model. The effects of velocity, volume fraction, microcapsule size, and microcapsule size distribution on the thermal performance of the space radiator are studied. Results show that the temperature flat area in the tube increases with the increase in the volume fraction or flow rate of the particle phase in the MPCMS, which means the heat dissipation capacity of the space radiator is also enhanced, and the maximum increase is 14 %. Compared with the use of pure water, the temperature difference between the highest and the lowest temperature of the radiator surface can be reduced by 40 %, and the heat dissipation power can be increased by 5 %. In addition, the large size of microcapsules limits the heat transfer between the two phases, especially when the size is greater than 50 μm. Compared with uniform microcapsule size distribution, the effect of lognormal distribution of variance σ = 0.7 on heat transfer is less than 1 %.

A comparative study of flow boiling performance in smooth and multi-stage enhanced open microchannels

Flow boiling in open microchannels is currently one of the research focuses in the field of phase-change heat transfer. The present paper described a comparative and experimental research on flow boiling heat transfer of SF-33, an environmentally friendly working fluid, in smooth surfaces open microchannels (SOM) and multi-stage enhanced open microchannels (MSEOM). The study investigated the flow boiling performance of SF-33 in two open microchannels with different mass fluxes, heat fluxes and inlet subcooling. The different boiling flow patterns in two open microchannels were analyzed with high-speed visualization. The results indicated that under different inlet cooling conditions, the MSEOM improved the flow boiling heat transfer performance significantly and improved the wall temperature uniformity. The visualization images indicated that the flow pattern transition was different due to the different surface structures of two open microchannels. The SOM experienced plug-stratified flow at high heat flux, while MSEOM transformed into churn flow due to its sintered copper powder and wire mesh micro-nanocomposite structures. The multi-stage enhanced structures exhibited excellent hydrophilicity and wicking capability, leading to a less pressure drop in the MSEOM compared with that in SOM. The pressure drops for both open microchannels decreased as inlet subcooling increased.

Analysis of rock-breaking mechanisms of high-voltage pulsed electric electrode bits

High-voltage pulsed electric rock-breaking technology is an innovative, green, and efficient method with substantial potential in the field of rock fragmentation. The efficiency of this technology is primarily determined by the design of the electrode bit. To investigate the impact of electrode bit design on rock fragmentation, this study developed a three-dimensional electro-rock breaking model based on the coupling of multiple fields: current field, electrostatic field, breakdown field, heat transfer field, and solid mechanics field. Using this comprehensive three-dimensional model, we conducted dynamic electrical breakdown simulations of granite, incorporating five different electrode bit structures and six degrees of rock heterogeneity. The simulation results elucidate the effects of pulsed peak voltage, granite heterogeneity H , and electrode bit structure on the efficiency of high-voltage pulsed electric rock breaking. To validate the simulation results, laboratory experiments on electro-rock breaking were performed. The experimental findings indicate that the conical electrode bit exhibited the highest rock-breaking efficiency, while the pentagonal prism-shaped electrode bit showed the poorest performance. The tip of prismatic electrodes generates a tip discharge effect; for the triangular prism, this effect often results in irregular rock fragmentation, which is detrimental to drilling efficiency. These results highlight the significant influence of electrode shape on rocks’ electrical breakdown and fragmentation. This study provides valuable insights into the engineering application of high-voltage pulsed electric rock-breaking technology.

Exact and fractional solution of MHD generalized Couette hybrid nanofluid flow with Mittag–Leffler and power law kernel

This study investigates the complex behavior of Jeffrey nanofluid flow in a porous oscillating microchannel under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects. The research explores how magnetic field distortions lead to diverse accumulation patterns of nanofluid particles, a phenomenon attributed to homogeneous magnetization in fluid dynamics. Nanoparticles ranging from 0.25 % to 0.5 % (low and inexpensive concentrations) are remarkably consistent for best results in most machining procedures. Different concentrations of various nanomaterial's is utilized (φ1 = φ2 = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) to make the simple nanfluid and hybrid nanofluid suspensions. By employing fractal-fractional derivatives governed by power law, a mathematical model developed to describe the time-varying, compressible MHD flow of Jeffrey nanofluid. The model incorporates the effects of heat transfer, pressure, and magnetic fields on the fluid dynamics. A novel fractional approach utilizing the Laplace transform is applied to solve the fractal MHD hybrid-fluid model integrated into a porous medium. The study reveals velocity flow decrease with increasing Reynolds numbers but increase with channel inclination. Additionally, both the Darcy number and magnetic field orientation enhance heat transfer rates. In addition, the velocity profile enhanced by the hybrid nanofluid suspension as compared to simple nanofluid flow. The research validates its findings by demonstrating the convergence of fractional and numerical solution methods. Furthermore, the study compares the performance of different hybrid nanofluids, concluding that water-based (H2O + GO + MoS2) hybrid fluids exhibit slightly superior characteristics compared to (CMC + GO + MoS2) hybrid nanofluids.

Nano-Biochar Prepared from High-Pressure Homogenization Improves Thermal Conductivity of Ethylene Glycol-Based Coolant.

As an environmentally friendly material, biochar is increasingly being utilized in the field of heat transfer and thermal conduction. In this study, nano-biochar was prepared from high-pressure homogenization (HPH) using sesame stalks as the raw material. It was incorporated into ethylene glycol (EG) and its dispersion stability, viscosity, and thermal conductivity were investigated. The nano-biochar was stably dispersed in EG for 28 days. When the concentration of the nano-biochar added to EG was less than 1%, the impact on viscosity was negligible. The addition of 5 wt.% nano-biochar to EG improved the thermal conductivity by 6.72%, which could be attributed to the graphitized structure and Brownian motion of the nano-biochar. Overall, nano-biochar has the potential to be applied in automotive thermal management.

The obtained outcomes revealed that the fluid flow rate rises with an increasing values of the parameters and, and it damps with upsurge in the values of the parameters, and. The heat transfer field is reduced with enhancing values of the thermal source, viscous dissipation and time, but declines for a boosted value of the terms suction and Prandtl number. Also, the mass transfer field is higher when mass absorption and time are increased, and diminish with an elevate in the values of Schmidt number and chemical reactions.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of unsteady, two-dimensional flow with the interaction between cold walls and heated cylindrical obstacles. The investigation focuses on the interplay among fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and magnetic fields. The behavior of the conducting fluid with the effect of a magnetic field present is described using the MHD equations, while the obstacles are maintained at elevated temperatures. The unsteady nature of the flow introduces additional complexities. The analysis provides insights into various flow pattern formation, boundary layers, and thermal distributions. The impact of magnetic forces on fluid dynamics and heat transfer is examined, shedding light on the overall behavior of the system. The obtained results clearly indicate that changes in the spacing distance on cylindrical obstacles will induce deformations in the isotherms, especially near the obstacles, resulting in localized variations. As the Hartmann number increases, the impact of magnetic forces becomes more pronounced. An increase in the Eckert number, tends to improve convective heat transfer efficiency. This research contributes to a better understanding of MHD-driven flow with practical implications in areas such as magnetohydrodynamic power generation, astrophysical phenomena, and controlled fusion.

The performance analysis of three types of microchannels with reentrant cavities were investigated in this study. The flow and heat transfer characteristics were analyzed according to the field synergy principle and entropy production. The results indicated that as the Reynolds number ranged from 200 to 1000, the Darcy friction factor of microchannels with reentrant cavities decreased sharply and then slowly. Among microchannels examined, a microchannel with circular reentrant cavities exhibited the smallest Darcy friction factor in the Reynolds number range of 200–1000. The Nusselt number of microchannels with reentrant cavities increased with the Reynolds number range of 200–1000. Among the microchannels, the microchannel with circular reentrant cavities had the largest Nusselt coefficient, from 6.07 to 10.29. According to the principle of field synergy, the heat transfer field of microchannel with circular reentrant cavities had the smallest synergy angle (α), from 85.1°to 83.2°, and the best field synergy. According to an analysis of the entropy production, the entropy production caused by heat transfer in microchannels with reentrant cavities gradually decreased as Reynolds number range from 200 to 1000. The microchannel with circular reentrant cavities had minimal entropy production caused by heat transfer; thus, it had the best heat transfer performance. The flow entropy production of microchannels with reentrant cavities increased with the Reynolds number. Among the microchannels, the microchannel with circular reentrant cavities had the smallest entropy production caused by flow. The present study aims to provide alternative ways to evaluate flow and heat transfer performance of microchannels.

Numerical investigation of the heat transfer and flow pattern on tandem triangle-grooved cylinders

Modifying surface characteristics and geometric structure to regulate heat transfer and flow fields is a classical issue. The study of wake dynamics and heat transfer efficiency in tandem grooved cylinders hold fundamental importance. This research proposes a configuration of tandem cylinders with triangle-grooved surfaces and numerical simulates the vorticity, fluid forces, Strouhal numbers, and convective heat transfer in tandem grooved cylinders. The parameters investigated include orientation angles θ = 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° and Reynolds numbers Re = 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200. This study focuses on how the triangle-grooved angle (θ) and Re affect wake dynamics and thermal performance. Numerical results are validated against available data in the literature for tandem smooth and tandem grooved cylinders. The results indicate that, compared to tandem smooth cylinders, the positive vorticity intensity of tandem grooved cylinders is 35.7 % higher, while the negative vorticity intensity is 23.5 % lower. Further observations show that at θ = 45°, the pressure variation on the upstream cylinder is most significant, approximately twice that at θ = 0° and θ = 90°. Notably, the variation values of the downstream cylinder (β = 0°) at θ = 0° and θ = 45° are triple and double that of the upstream cylinder in TF mode, respectively. Additionally, at θ = 0°, the root mean square lift coefficient of the downstream cylinder reaches the maximum value (Re = 75–100), approximately 1.34. When Re = 125, CL(rms),1 decreases by 15.7 % to 1.13. Particularly, when Re = 100–150, the time-averaged drag coefficient of the downstream cylinder shows a peak value of approximately 1.02. Interestingly, at Re = 200, a tadpole-shaped thermal distribution forms in the wake region of the upstream cylinder. Furthermore, the time-averaged Nusselt number ratio (θ = 0°) exhibits a trend opposite to other cases over a broader range (125 ≤ Re ≤ 200) and peaks at Re = 200, approximately 1.24.

Numerical investigation of thermal damage in rocks under high‐voltage electric pulse

AbstractThe high‐voltage electric pulse fracturing (HVEPF) technology represents a novel and highly promising approach in rock fracturing. The investigation of thermal damage inflicted upon rocks by high‐voltage electrical pulses under multi‐physical field coupling is of great significance in the development of deep geothermal energy. This study establishes a damage model for rocks under electric fragmentation conditions by integrating electric field, heat transfer field, and solid mechanics field. Based on the developed damage model, the insulating properties, temperature variations, and forms of damage of rocks during electric fracturing are explored. Subsequently, the influence of voltage on rock damage status is investigated. The findings reveal that damage to the rock does not occur immediately after electrical breakdown; rather, it increases with the growth of current and temperature within the breakdown channel. Initial damage occurs at the ends of the breakdown channel, followed closely by damage in the central region of the channel. The predominant form of damage in rocks is tensile failure, with shear failure playing a secondary role, and the volume of damage increases with voltage. These results elucidate the characteristics of rock damage during electric fracturing, providing valuable insights for the engineering application of electric fracturing techniques.

Numerical investigation of the effect of fluid nanohybrid type and volume concentration of fluid on heat transfer and pressure drop in spiral double tube heat exchanger equipped with innovative conical turbulator

Spiral heat exchangers in the heat transfer field have attracted researchers' attention due to their better heat transfer characteristics. This review discusses the increase in efficiency of this type of converter. to better understand the efficiency of the intended spiral exchanger, thermal efficiency (performance evaluation criteria) was chosen as the performance index in the present work, and the simulations were carried out in a calm regime (200<Re<800) and for two positive and negative flows and using three types of fluids. This study aims to conduct a numerical analysis of the impact of nanohybrid fluid type and fluid volume concentration on heat transfer and pressure drop in a spiral double-double-tube exchanger incorporating a conical turbulator. Computational fluid dynamics was employed in the study. The problem is tackled using ANSYS FLUENT 18 to conduct CFD simulations utilizing the finite volume method. The numerical findings indicate that employing countercurrent flow and a nanohybrid fluid of Water/MoS2–Fe3O4 significantly impacts overall performance, potentially boosting the spiral heat exchanger's efficiency by 8 %. The findings indicated that raising the volume concentration of the nanohybrid fluid Water/MoS2–Fe3O4 from 0.3 % to 0.5 % and 0.7 % leads to a notable enhancement in the thermal efficiency of this converter type. The converter achieves its peak efficiency at Reynolds number 200 when using the nanohybrid fluid Water/MoS2–Fe3O4, resulting in a 4 % and 17 % increase in thermal performance compared to the other two concentrations.

A developed transition simulation model for turbulent plane jet impingement heat transfer

Jet impingement has been widely used due to its high heat transfer rate, but numerical simulation of this flow is highly challenging because of complex flow phenomena. In this paper, a turbulence model based on the physics of jet impingement is developed using the shear stress transport (SST) four-equation transition model and the SST with cross-diffusion correction (SSTCD) model. The proposed method is evaluated for plane jet impingement under various nozzle-plate spacings (2.6, 4 and 6) and different Reynolds numbers ranging from 10,200 to 20,000 in terms of heat transfer and flow fields. The results show that the developed model has the ability to capture the second peak of heat transfer and skin friction at low nozzle-plate spacing. Even at high nozzle-plate spacing, this approach also gives accurate trends for the above two features. However, without the cross-diffusion correction, the transition model provides too high energy and low velocity peaks. With the developed model in hand, the effects of pressure gradient on heat transfer and skin friction coefficient are further investigated. It is found that when the adverse pressure gradient becomes strong, the position of the secondary peak of skin friction occurs earlier than that of the secondary peak of heat transfer rate. Conversely, if the adverse pressure gradient disappears, the positions of these features coincide.

Thermophoretic diffusion deposition velocity effect in the flow-induced due to inner stretched and outer stationary coaxial cylinders

This study's primary goal is to examine the mass and heat transfer in the fluid flow between two cylinders while taking the thermophoretic particle deposition impact into account. Only the stretching effect of the inside cylinder under the stationary outside cylinder causes the flow. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of the flow dynamics are converted into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by utilizing similarity transformations. Then, using the shooting approach and the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) method, these simplified equations are numerically solved. Graphical depictions are utilized to analyze the physical behaviour of key factors in detail. The comparison of the published findings with the obtained outcome is given here to check the accuracy and obtained a good agreement with the published results. Results reveal that the gap size strongly influences the momentum, heat and mass transfer fields. Velocity and thermal profiles increase as the curvature parameter upsurges, but the concentration profile declines. It is also observed that when gap width rise, the rate of heat transmission reduces. The findings demonstrate that the mass transportation rate declines as the thermophoretic parameter and thermophoretic coefficient value increase.

Exploring the intricate relationship between periodic magnetic fields and dusty nanofluids within one-dimensional, unidirectional frameworks shows great potential for advancing precise control within microfluidic devices and bolstering heat transfer efficiency in nanotechnology realms. In this study, we delve into the impact of heat transfer and periodic magnetic fields on viscoelastic nanofluids laden with dust particles, confined between two parallel plates. The flow dynamics are instigated by buoyancy forces, with due consideration given to heat transfer phenomena. Employing partial differential equations, we model the flow behavior, and through the application of the Poincaré-Light Hill Technique, we attain exact solutions. Graphical representations elucidate the temperature and velocity profiles, revealing the nuanced influences of various parameters. Utilizing Mathcad-15, we generate visual depictions of the fluid and dust particle distributions. Furthermore, our analysis delves into critical fluid attributes vital for engineering applications, including skin friction and heat transfer rates, which are comprehensively examined and tabulated. This encompasses the evaluation of heat transfer rates at the wedge surface, alongside the resultant influence on surface viscous drag forces. Our findings indicate that magnetic parameters induce reductions in both base fluid and dusty particle velocities, alongside the emergence of periodic motion under the influence of periodic magnetic fields. Periodic magnetic fields generate electrical power in induction generators widely used in wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants, and other renewable energy sources.

Swirling Capillary Instability of Rivlin–Ericksen Liquid with Heat Transfer and Axial Electric Field

The mutual influences of the electric field, rotation, and heat transmission find applications in controlled drug delivery systems, precise microfluidic manipulation, and advanced materials’ processing techniques due to their ability to tailor fluid behavior and surface morphology with enhanced precision and efficiency. Capillary instability has widespread relevance in various natural and industrial processes, ranging from the breakup of liquid jets and the formation of droplets in inkjet printing to the dynamics of thin liquid films and the behavior of liquid bridges in microgravity environments. This study examines the swirling impact on the instability arising from the capillary effects at the boundary of Rivlin–Ericksen and viscous liquids, influenced by an axial electric field, heat, and mass transmission. Capillary instability arises when the cohesive forces at the interface between two fluids are disrupted by perturbations, leading to the formation of characteristic patterns such as waves or droplets. The influence of gravity and fluid flow velocity is disregarded in the context of capillary instability analyses. The annular region is formed by two cylinders: one containing a viscous fluid and the other a Rivlin–Ericksen viscoelastic fluid. The Rivlin–Ericksen model is pivotal for comprehending the characteristics of viscoelastic fluids, widely utilized in industrial and biological contexts. It precisely characterizes their rheological complexities, encompassing elasticity and viscosity, critical for forecasting flow dynamics in polymer processing, food production, and drug delivery. Moreover, its applications extend to biomedical engineering, offering insights crucial for medical device design and understanding biological phenomena like blood flow. The inside cylinder remains stationary, and the outside cylinder rotates at a steady pace. A numerically analyzed quadratic growth rate is obtained from perturbed equations using potential flow theory and the Rivlin–Ericksen fluid model. The findings demonstrate enhanced stability due to the heat and mass transfer and increased stability from swirling. Notably, the heat transfer stabilizes the interface, while the density ratio and centrifuge number also impact stability. An axial electric field exhibits a dual effect, with certain permittivity and conductivity ratios causing perturbation growth decay or expansion.
