Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed experimental study has been carried out on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a compact heat exchanger with pin fins, A modular wind- tunnel with a rectangular cross-section duct-flow area was constructed that would accommodate the heat exchanger test section with varying pin designs. The flow in the tunnel was achieved through a suction-type blower, and a leading entrance length section was added to achieve predictable flow conditions into the heat exchanger test section. The rig was comprehensively instrumented to provide all desired thermal and flow data. The results from this study provide useful empirical data to validate ongoing numerical studies of such heat exchanger designs.

This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a staggered micro pin-fin heat exchanger were analyzed using a three dimensional finite element based numerical model. Simulations were conducted based on low Reynolds number, fully developed laminar airflow through an array of circular pin-fins. A range of results was obtained from different configurations with varying pin spacing, axial pitch and pin height. The results from this study would be useful in ongoing work on the design of a laminar flow micro heat exchanger for high heat flux dissipation systems.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The long-term goal of this research is to contribute to the development of mathematical models and numerical solution methods for use as cost-effective tools in procedures for designing the next generation of compact and ultra-compact heat exchangers (core heat transfer area density exceeding 700 m^2/m^3 and 3000 m^2/m^3, respectively). Such heat exchangers are expected to play a major role in ongoing worldwide efforts to propose novel energy conversion systems. The desire to participate in such efforts is the main motivation for this work. Attention in this work was focused on rectangular offset strip-fin plate-fin core configurations. Over the last 50 years, there have been many efforts to increase the compactness of such cores. However, increasing compactness reduces the hydraulic diameter and (hence) the Reynolds number, for the same average velocity, which can lead to turbulent-to-laminar transition. These consequences of increasing compactness bring up the issue of its effect on the rate of heat transfer for a fixed pumping power. The rectangular offset strip-fin plate-fin configuration causes starting, interrupting, and restarting of both velocity and thermal boundary layers, and also possible unsteadiness and vortex shedding; and these thermofluid features bring up the issue of maximizing heat transfer for specified heat transfer surface area and fixed pumping power.The main goal of this research was to contribute to the resolution of the first of the aforementioned two issues, in a highly cost-effective manner. Thus, fins of negligible thickness and flow passages of large cross-sectional aspect ratio were assumed, and attention was limited to steady two-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena. Air was the fluid of choice, and it was assumed that its thermophysical properties remained essentially constant. Furthermore, the Eckert number was much less than one in the problems considered here, so viscous dissipation could be ignored.Elliptic and parabolic mathematical models of developing fluid flow and heat transfer in continuous parallel-plate channels and arrays of regular staggered plates were considered. Three different low-Reynolds-number turbulence models (all capable of predicting turbulent-laminar transition with reduction in Reynolds number) were selected for comparative assessment. These mathematical models were solved using two-dimensional elliptic (2DE) and parabolic (2DP) finite volume methods (FVMs): the 2DE FVM was an adapted version of an in-house code; the 2DP FVM was specially formulated and implemented for this work, retaining the momentum equation in the direction transverse to the main flow (a novel feature of the proposed method). Mathematical models of fully developed fluid flow and heat transfer in pipes and parallel-plate channels were also considered and solved using one-dimensional FVMs. The results were compared to those yielded by available empirical correlations and also experimental data. Finally, one of the three low-Reynolds-number turbulence models and the 2DP FVM were used to simulate fluid flow and heat transfer in three actual rectangular offset strip-fin plate-fin cores of compact heat exchangers.For fully developed flows, all three low-Reynolds-number turbulence models considered in this work gave results that showed excellent agreement with those yielded by available empirical correlations and also experimental data. For developing fluid flow and heat transfer, the 2DP results compared very well with the 2DE results; however, the 2DP FVM executed 700 to 12,000 times faster than the 2DE FVM for comparable computational grids. In simulations of developing fluid flow and heat transfer in continuous-plate channels and regular arrays of staggered plates, only one of the three low-Reynolds-number turbulence models gave good results. The details of the models, numerical methods, and results, and also some recommendations, are presented and discussed in this thesis." --

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for smaller but more powerful electronic components is ever increasing. This demand puts a strain on engineers to produce optimal cooling designs for these electronic components. One method for cooling these electronic components is with heat sinks which effectively increase the surface area available for extracting the heat from the electronic components. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is sometimes used to aid in the design process, but CFD simulations are computationally expensive and take long to complete. This causes the design engineer to test only a few proposed designs based on his/her experience and select the design that performs the best out of the tested designs, which might not be the optimum. The temperature distribution inside the heat sink can be solved relatively quickly with the diffusion equation, but the flow around the heat sink complicates the CFD simulation and increases the solving time significantly. Therefore, applications have been developed where the interaction between the heat sink and the flow around the heat sink is replaced by heat transfer coefficients. These coefficients are calculated from correlated equations which contain the flow properties. The flow properties are extracted from a flow network solver, which solves the flow around the heat sink. This procedure results in less expensive simulations, which can be used together with an optimisation procedure to develop an optimum cooling design. In this dissertation, a correlation for the contraction heat transfer coefficients of rectangular pin fin heat sinks was developed. A methodology was developed where consecutive regression lines were fitted to a large set of data extracted from numerous CFD simulations. The combination of these regression lines formed the basis of the correlation, which was divided into two correlations: one for laminar flow and another for turbulent flow. The correlations were tested against CFD simulations as well as experimental data. The results indicate that these correlations can be effectively used to calculate the contraction heat transfer coefficients on pin fin heat sinks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics required to understand electrical power generation systems, honing in on the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power systems. It includes all the necessary information regarding the fundamental laws to gain a complete understanding and apply them specifically to the challenges of operating nuclear plants. Beginning with definitions of thermodynamic variables such as temperature, pressure and specific volume, the book then explains the laws in detail, focusing on pivotal concepts such as enthalpy and entropy, irreversibility, availability, and Maxwell relations. Specific applications of the fundamentals to Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation are considered in-depth, in support of the book’s core goal- providing an examination of how the thermodynamic principles are applied to the design, operation and safety analysis of current and projected reactor systems. Detailed appendices cover metric and English system units and conversions, detailed steam and gas tables, heat transfer properties, and nuclear reactor system descriptions.
