Experimental Study of Flow and Heat Transfer in Heat Exchanger with Small Channels

The experimental study of the flow resistance and heat transfer characteristics are conducted for water and ethylene glycol solution (66% Wt) flowing in the heat exchanger with small rectangular microchannels . The heat exchanger having the channels of 0.4 mm in width, 2.0 mm in height, and 20 mm in length is heated by a hearing rod at the bottom surface, the upper and two side surfaces are adiabatic. During experiments, the Reynolds number are ranged from 2 to 2 500. The experimental results show that the flow friction factor decreases and Nusselt number increases with increasing Reynolds number for water and ethylene glycol solution. At a fixed Reynolds number, the Nusselt number for ethylene glycol solution with larger Prandtl number is greater than that for water. Meanwhile, the correlations of flow resistance and heat transfer in the heat exchanger with small channels are obtained for engineering application.

Subway Station Plate Evaporative Cooler Heat and Mass Transfer of Falling Film under Gas liquid Cross flow Condition

With the influence of the different gas Reynolds number and liquid Reynolds number on falling film heat and mass transfer of subway station plate evaporative cooler, the experiment was carried out by non contact infrared thermal imaging technology under gas liquid cross flow condition. The results indicated that during the increasing of liquid Reynolds number the thickness of liquid film increased and the temperature difference between liquid film inlet and outlet decreased in determined heating water temperature which weakened the heat transfer of liquid film. However, the increase of liquid Reynolds number strengthened the liquid film turbulence that enhanced heat transfer. Under the synergistic effect of these two factors, there was an optimal liquid Reynolds number which minimize thermal resistance and maximize heat and mass transfer coefficient of liquid film.

In order to improve utilization of cold and heat source from river, turbulence theory and entropy generation theory were adopted to analyze the effect of fouling on convective heat transfer performance in small diameter tube of constant wall temperature.It is found that the entropy generation caused by conduction of fouling plays a more important role in total entropy generation of heat transfer process through a duct than that in cveast rate of caused by temperature difference.The entropy generation caused by viscous flow is more than the entropy generation caused by temperature difference in flow with bigger Reynolds and small radius.The increase rate of entropy generation monotonically increase with Reynolds and the generation process of fouling resistance.Thereafter, the effect of fouling resistance on the heat transfer performance of water source heat pump heat exchanger should be paid more attention, when river water are used as the cold and heat source of heat pump.

Numerical Simulation of Laminar Mixed Convection Heat Transfer in Vertical Narrow Rrectangular Channels

Using N-S function, and transforming the gravity item to temperature and differential pressure related items, the authors simulate the mixed convection heat transfer in vertical narrow rectangular channels. The results reveal that intense chimney effect exists in cross-section of the whole field and nearby the wall of the channel, When flow is laminar, the velocity of main flow will be decreased, disturbing nearby the heating wall is strengthened, and the convection heat transfer of vertical narrow rectangular channel is enhanced. It also can destroy the uniformity of the heat transfer coefficient distribution. Considering the reliability of equipment, this kind of convection pattern only can be used in low heat flux. The buoyancy-influencing model putted forward can predict mixed convection heat transfer, and also can be used to simulate the turbulent mixed-convection heat transfer problem.

The Effect of Aspect Ratio on Natural Convection in a Cavity with Discrete Heaters and a Vertical Heat Sink

SIMPLE method is used to study the influence of aspect ratio on the natural convection in an enclosure with five discrete heat sources on a vertical wall and an isothermal heat sink on another vertical wall. The range of aspect ratio is from 3. 0 to 12. 22. At high aspect ratio, multiple secondary flow cells can be found,which enhance heat transfer strongly and cause the highest heat transfer coefficient based on cooling area Nuc. With the decrease of aspect ratio,secondary flow cells become weaker gradually and finally reach the lowest Nuc at H/W = 7. 35. If H/W continues to decrease,natural convection is gradually developed,and heat transfer is improved. At H/W = 3. 67,Nuc becomes stable. Then the decrease of aspect ratio will not affect heat transfer. Besides, A heat transfer correlation including the influence of aspect ratio is .also provided.     

Conjugate Natural Convective Heat Transfer in an Enclosure with Discrete Protruded Heat Sources

The mathematic model on natural convection is proposed in a two-dimensional enclosure cavity with an isothermal heat sink at one vertical wall and five discrete protruded sources. Numerical study is performed to analyze the natural convection in the enclosure with a variety of aspect ratio, the range of which is from 3.0 to 12.22, Ra H is 10 7 and Pr is 30.The computed results show that the total heat transfer effect under the situation with discrete protruded heat sources is prior to that with flat wall heated. Moreover, when the aspect ratio is comparatively large, there is several secondary flow in the enclosure, which enhance the convective heat transfer. On the contrary, when the aspect ratio is small, the secondary flow weakened or disappeared, and the total convective heat transfer drop. Finally, the convective heat transfer criteria in the enclosure is obtained.

Pressure Drop and Evaporative Heat Transfer Characteristics of Air-water Bubbling Flow

A new kind of evaporative heat transfer experiment for the cooling process of condensers is conducted. The test coil is immersed in an air-water bubbling layer. The air-water two-phase flow passes through the heating tubes of the coil. Due to the motion of the air bubbles in the water, a thin water film forms on the surface of the heating tubes. As the air bubbles passing by the tubes the water is evaporated into the air. The tubes of coil reject heat to the water film, and the evaporation of the water film then rejects heat to the air bubble stream. This heat transfer mode significantly increases the heat transfer coefficient between tubes and air. The consumption of the power of a water pump can be decreased. Moreover, the airflow rate required is less than that of an air-cooled condenser.The pressure drop of air through air-water bubbling layer and the heat transfer between the tubes and water are experimentally investigated in the paper. The results show that the factors affecting the pressure drop and the heat transfer coefficient involve the pore geometry of sieve plate, the height of the air-water bubbling layer, the air flow rate through the sieve plate and the heat flux of tubes. The heat transfer coefficient between tube and water is two times larger than that of falling film of water on the outer surface of tube.

Mathematical Model and Operation Analysis of Semi-submerged Rotary Orifice Sewage Source Heat Pump Intake Machine

To solve the flow instability and adjustment difficulty of filtering dirt-removing device in the sewage source heat pump system, which affect the efficiency of heat exchanger, semi-flooded rotary orifice sewage auto-strainer was generated. According to establishing the mathematical model, the effect is analysed of pollutant concentration and liquid level height of sewage and rotation period of orifice plate to filtered flow rate, filtered load and filtering surface block coefficient. The result shows that: in the certain condition of sewage liquid level height and orifice plate rotation period, the increase of sewage will decrease the filtered flow rate of orifice plate, and increase filtering surface block coefficient; The effect of pollutant concentration change in the sewage to orifice plate filtered flow rate could be adjusted by regulating the sewage liquid level height and orifice plate rotation period, and the moderating effect of orifice plate rotation period is better than that of sewage liquid level height.     

A preventive control model for static voltage stability considering the power constraints of weak branches

The voltage instability of power system often occurs when the active power on one or more weak branches exceeds its transfer capability. A preventive control model for static voltage stability is proposed using the active power transfer capability of weak branches as static voltage stability constraints. A local line based voltage stability index is used to determine the critical contingencies, weak branches and transfer capability of each weak branch. A static security analysis method, which is based on DC power flow equations, is used to establish the non linear active power flow expressions on weak branches following each critical contingency. The active power constraints on weak branches can be obtained from the active power flow expressions and transfer capabilities of weak branches. A quadratic optimal model for preventive control including the proposed active power constraints on weak branches is presented. The simulation results for IEEEE14 bus system and IEEE118 bus system demonstrate the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed preventive control model.
