Heat Transfer Augmentation in a Straight Channel via Two Oscillating Circular Cylinders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider flow-through systems in which the characteristic length is limited such that turbulent flow is not reached even at high fluid velocities, i.e., the flow remains laminar. In these flow regimes, inducing circulation or vortices in the flow enhances mixing and heat transfer [1]. These can be created by placing obstacles in the flow path, for example. Figure 1. Geometry of the simulation: Parameters D, are cylinder diameter, rotational oscillation amplitude and heat flux, respectively.

Numerical Investigation on Slot air Jet impingement Heat Transfer between Horizontal Concentric Circular Cylinders
A numerical study has been carried out for slot air jet impingement cooling of horizontal concentric circular cylinders. The slot air jet is situated at the symmetry line of a horizontal cylinder along the gravity vector and impinges on the bottom of the outer cylinder which is designated as θ=0°. The outer cylinder is partially opened at the top with a width of W=30mm and is kept at constant t...
متن کاملStudy of flow and heat transfer characteristics in a periodic zigzag channel for cooling of polymer electrolyte fuel cells
In this study, a periodic zigzag channel with rectangular cross-section has been used in order to obtain a high-efficiency system for cooling a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. An appropriate function of fuel cells and enhancement of their lifetime require uniform temperature conditions of around 80°C. On the other hand, due to volume and weight constraints, a low-density compact heat exchanger i...

The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
