This book was released on 2008-02-07 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat transfer is the area of engineering science which describes the energy transport between material bodies due to a difference in temperature. The three different modes of heat transport are conduction, convection and radiation. In most problems, these three modes exist simultaneously. However, the significance of these modes depends on the problems studied and often, insignificant modes are neglected. Very often books published on Computational Fluid Dynamics using the Finite Element Method give very little or no significance to thermal or heat transfer problems. From the research point of view, it is important to explain the handling of various types of heat transfer problems with different types of complex boundary conditions. Problems with slow fluid motion and heat transfer can be difficult problems to handle. Therefore, the complexity of combined fluid flow and heat transfer problems should not be underestimated and should be dealt with carefully. This book: Is ideal for teaching senior undergraduates the fundamentals of how to use the Finite Element Method to solve heat transfer and fluid dynamics problems Explains how to solve various heat transfer problems with different types of boundary conditions Uses recent computational methods and codes to handle complex fluid motion and heat transfer problems Includes a large number of examples and exercises on heat transfer problems In an era of parallel computing, computational efficiency and easy to handle codes play a major part. Bearing all these points in mind, the topics covered on combined flow and heat transfer in this book will be an asset for practising engineers and postgraduate students. Other topics of interest for the heat transfer community, such as heat exchangers and radiation heat transfer, are also included.

Download or read book Natural Convection and Conduction in a Vertical Annulus with a Concentric Baffle written by Mark J. Fishbaugher and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical and numerical study of steady-state laminar natural convection and conduction has been performed for an enclosure between concentric vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders were isothermal, and the connecting top and bottom walls were adiabatic. A concentric baffle was included in the annulus, and the flow field and local heat transfer were investigated. The parameters of most interest in this study were the relative conductivity of the baffle and the properties of the fluid. A wide range of relative conductivities, Prandtl numbers, and Rayleigh numbers was investigated, assuming a particular cavity geometry with and without the baffle. The effect of a finite conductivity wall on the outside of the vertical annulus as well as the effect of high aspect ratio were also studied for low Prandtl number fluids (liquid metals). Results show that the relative conductivity of the concentric baffle affects the structure of the flow and the local Nusselt numbers. With increasing Rayleigh number, this effect diminishes. Multicellular flow is observed in each of the annular channels with increasing baffle conductivity ratio. A relatively low conductivity baffle promotes uniform channel flow in the annuli at lower Rayleigh numbers. The heat transfer results show that the baffle has an insulating effect at high Rayleigh numbers regardless of its conductivity. For the annulus with an outside wall of finite conductivity, results show that the relative conductivity of the wall is an important variable in determining the temperature of the rest of the domain. However, the conductivity of the outer wall had little effect on the structure of the flow field or the maximum velocities. For a higher aspect ratio cavity without an outside wall, the maximum velocities are higher while the overall heat transfer rates are found to be lower. This can be attributed to cavity geometry and the mechanisms for heat transfer above and below the baffle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until very recently, energy supply of the world has been treated as being nearly inexhaustible. Nowadays about 90 percent of the energy used is obtained from non-renewable resources: oil, natural gas, coal and uranium. These resources are being used up at an alarming rate. To meet our demands we are now searching for new sources of energy. One of these new sources of energy is solar energy which will assume increasing importance. It is free but means must be developed to use it economically. Research is actively under way to reduce the storage cost of this low intensity energy and for the design of economical systems. The purpose of this Institute is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of information on solar energy utilization: fundamentals and applications in industry. This meeting is primarily a high level teaching activity. The subject is treated in considerable depth by lecturers eminent in their field. The other participants include scientists, engineers, and senior graduate students who themselves are involved in a similar research and who wish to learn more about current developments, as well as scientists from other areas who are planning to research on solar energy. The lectures are supplemented by informal discussions designed to encourage the free and critical exchange of ideas. A limited number of contributions are also included. This volume contains both basic and applied information contributed during the Institute. The editors appreciate the cooperation of Martinus Nijhoff Publishezsin making the proceedings widely available.
