Research of Intercooler Heat Transfer Based on CFD

CFD simulation of heat transfer in ferrofluids

In this work time dependent heat transfer flow through a kerosene based ferrofluid is considered. The flow is in a cylindrical geometry with the height and diameter of 10 mm. Computational fluid dynamics was used to simulate the system. In CFD simulations mixture model was applied to describe the behavior of the magnetic particles. A uniform magnetic field with different strengths and direction...

CFD Investigation of Gravitational Sedimentation Effect on Heat Transfer of a Nano-Ferrofluid

In the present attempt, flow behavior and thermal convection of one type of nanofluids in a disc geometry was investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Influence of gravity induced sedimentation also has been studied. The commercial software, Fluent 6.2, has been employed to solve the governing equations. A user defined function was added to apply a uniform external ma...

Determination of surface convective heat transfer coefficients by CFD

Heat and vapour convective surface coefficients are required in practically all heat and vapour transport calculations. In building envelope research, such coefficients are often assumed constants for a set of conditions. Heat transfer surface coefficients are often determined using empirical correlations based on measurements of different geometry and flows. Vapour transfer surface coefficient...

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

Dimensionless versus Dimensional Analysis in CFD and Heat Transfer

Students in engineering and science are often exposed early in their studies to non dimensional analysis. This is particularly true in the areas of fluid mechanics and heat transfer where most experimental correlations are expressed in terms of non dimensional groups and many numerical analysis involve the solution of non dimensional equations. When it comes to solving fluid flow/heat transfer ...
