Mass „Heat... Transfer Downstream of Blockages With Round and Elongated Holes in a Rectangular Channel

چکیده
Turbulent forced convective mass (heat) transfer downstream of blockages with round and elongated holes in a rectangular channel was studied. The blockages and the channel had the same 12:1 (width-to-height ratio) cross section, and a distance equal to twice the channel height separated consecutive blockages. The diameter of the holes was either 0.5 or 0.75 of the height of the channel. Naphthalene sublimation experiments were conducted with four hole aspect ratios (hole-width-to-height ratios) between 1.0 and 3.4, two hole-to-channel area ratios (ratios of total hole cross-sectional area to channel cross-sectional area) of 0.2 and 0.3, and Reynolds numbers (based on the channel hydraulic diameter) of 7000 and 17,000. The effects of the hole aspect ratio, for each hole-to-channel area ratio, on the average mass (heat) transfer and the local mass (heat) transfer distribution on the exposed primary channel wall between consecutive blockages were examined. The results of the study showed that the blockages with holes caused the average mass (heat) transfer to be as high as about eight times that for fully developed turbulent flow through a smooth channel at the same mass flow rate. The elongated holes caused higher overall mass (heat) transfer and larger spanwise variation of the local mass (heat) transfer on the channel wall than round holes. DOI: 10.1115/1.2767748

متن کاملAverage Heat Transfer Coefficient in Rectangular Ducts with Baffle Blockages
An experimental investigation was conducted to study the average and the fully-developed heat (mass) transfer coefficients in a rectangular smooth duct and a duct with repeated-baffle blockages. The focus of attention in this work is the conventional correlation Nu / Nufd 1 + C / ( X / D ) for the average heat transfer coefficient. It was shown that for relatively short ducts, the coefficient C...

متن کاملEffect of Square Rod Aspect Ratio on Vortex Shedding Downstream the Rod and Heat Transfer Enhancement from the Neighboring Flat Plate
A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...
