Forced convective heat transfer to supercritical helium.

CFD Study of the Turbulent Forced Convective Heat Transfer of Non-Newtonian Nanofluid

Transient Convective Heat Transfer

In nature, as well as within the human-made thermal systems, the time-variable regimes are more commonly encountered, if not always, than the permanent regimes. Nevertheless, studies in convection are still more frequent in the permanent regimes, undoubtedly due to the related difficulties in calculation in terms of time and cost of computation. One may distinguish two categories of time-depend...

Entropy Generation Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Turbulent Forced Convective Heat Transfer to Nanofluids

The entropy generation analysis of fully turbulent convective heat transfer to nanofluids in a circular tube is investigated numerically using the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) model. The nanofluids with particle concentration of 0%, 1%, 2%, 4% and 6% are treated as single phases of effective properties. The uniform heat flux is enforced at the tube wall. To confirm the validity of the...

Convective Heat Transfer PastSmall Cylindrical

Convective heat transfer from an array of small, cylindrical bodies of arbitrary shape in an unbounded, two-dimensional domain is a singular perturbation problem involving an innnite logarithmic expansion in the small parameter ", representing the order of magnitude of the size of the bodies. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we formulate a hybrid asymptotic-numerical method to...

Convective heat transfer characteristics of China RP-3 aviation kerosene at supercritical pressure

Regenerative cooling of aviation kerosene plays an important role for thermal protection of scramjet engines. Since the thermophysical properties of kerosene change acutely near the pseudo-critical point, heat convective in kerosene pipe flow is complicated. Here the convective heat transfer characteristics of China RP-3 aviation kerosene at a supercritical pressure are numerically studied usin...
