Book Experimental Investigation of Turbulent Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Turbulent Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the convective heat transfer in straight and curved ducts of rectangular cross-section. The experimental configuration was modeled as infinite parallel plates with one wall at a constant temperature and the opposite wall adiabatic. The experiments were conducted at steady state for turbulent flow. Average Nusselt numbers were used to compare the heat transfer characteristics of the straight and curved sections. The development of Taylor-Gortler vortices in the curved section was shown to enhance the heat transfer rate in the curved section as compared to that of the straight section by approximately 15 to 20 percent. Improved heat exchanger designs and improved cooling of turbine blades are two disciplines that could benefit from a better understanding of the effects of curvature on the rate of heat transfer.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation has been conducted to examine the convective heat transfer in straight and curved ducts of rectangular cross section. The experimental configuration was modeled as infinite parallel plates with one wall at a constant heat flux and the opposite wall adiabatic. Experiments were conducted at steady state for turbulent flow using average Nusselt numbers to compare the heat transfer characteristics of the straight and curved sections. The development of Taylor-Gortler vortices in the curved section proved to enhance the heat transfer rate over that of the straight section. Improved heat exchanger and turbine blade design could both result from a better understanding of the effects of curvature on the rate of heat transfer.

Book Investigation of Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts for Laminar and Transition Flows

Download or read book Investigation of Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts for Laminar and Transition Flows written by Robert George Holihan (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was conducted to examine convection heat transfer in a duct of rectangular cross-section, having both a straight and curved flow passage. One wall was kept at a constant temperature, with the opposite wall being adiabatic. Heating of the air flowing in the channel was accomplished through Joulean heating of a wall composed of Temsheet. The experiments were conducted for steady state in Laminar and Transition flows. Development and propagation of the Taylor-Gortler vortices was shown to enhance the heat transfer rate in the curved section as compared to the straight section. (Author).

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer. This book was released on 1985-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Investigation of Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts

Download or read book Investigation of Heat Transfer in Straight and Curved Rectangular Ducts written by James Claude Ballard (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental investigations have been conducted to examine the general problem of convective heat transfer in a rectangular cross section channel with both straight and curved passages. The experimental configuration was modeled as infinite parallel plates with one wall at a constant heat flux and the opposite wall adiabatic. The air flow through the channel was heated through the Joulean heating of a wall composed of Temsheet. Liquid crystals applied to the surface of the Temsheet were used to confirm the presence of the Taylor-Gortler vortices. Average Nusselt number mesurements were used to investigate their effect on heat transfer from the curved test section. Experiments were conducted for steady state laminar flow that was hydrodynamically developed and thermally developing. It was confirmed that the Taylor-Gortler vortices enhanced the heat transfer process in the curved section. The experimental data was compared with several analytic studies with good results.

Book Experimental Study of Cross Flow Mixing in Cylindrical and Rectangular Ducts

Download or read book Experimental Study of Cross Flow Mixing in Cylindrical and Rectangular Ducts written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation of non-reacting cross flow jet injection and mixing in cylindrical and rectangular ducts has been conducted with application to a low emissions combustor. Quantitative measurement of injectant concentration distributions perpendicular to the duct axis were obtained by planar digital imaging of the Mie-scattered light from an aerosol seed mixed with the injectant. The flowfield unmixedness was evaluated using (1) a mixing parameter derived from the ratio of the jet concentration fluctuations to the fully mixed concentration, and (2) probability density functions of the concentration distributions. Mixing rate was measured for 45 degree slant slot and round orifice injectors. Liscinsky, D. S. and Vranos, A. and Lohmann, R. P. Unspecified Center NAS3-25952; RTOP 537-02-20...

Book Developing Flow and Heat Transfer in Strongly Curved Ducts of Rectangular Cross section

Download or read book Developing Flow and Heat Transfer in Strongly Curved Ducts of Rectangular Cross section written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A numerical study of heat transfer in 90°, constant cross-section curved duct, steady, laminar flow is presented. The work is aimed primarily at characterizing the effects of duct geometry on heat transfer by considering, especially, the role of secondary motions during the developing period of the flow. However, due consideration has also been given to varying initial conditions of velocity and temperature at the entrance section to the duct. In addition, an assessment is made of the relative contributions of individual duct walls to heat transfer in the flow. It is found that, in general, heat transfer increases with Dean number with the largest transfer rates occurring through the duct side walls and outer-curvature wall. Duct geometries with aspect ratio greater or smaller than unity have weaker secondary motions and are less effective for heat transfer. Similarly, plug-flow entrance profiles for velocity retard the development of cross-section flow thus inhibiting a significant contribution to heat transfer. It is concluded that short ducts with strong curvature and intense secondary motions can be as effective for heat transfer as longer ducts which are less strongly curved. Calcuations are based on fully elliptic (in space) forms of the transport equation governing the flow. They are of engineering value and are limited in accuracy only by the degree of computational mesh refinement. A comparison with calculations based on parabolic equations has been made and it is shown how the latter can lead to erroneous results for strongly curved flows.
