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.

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.

Heat Transfer Characteristics of the Melting Process of the Metal Foam/Paraffin Compound Material

In order to enhance the heat transfer in the phase change heat storage device, a rectangular cavity filled with metal foam / paraffin wax is made. The melting heat storage experiment of foam metal / wax composite phase change material was carried out in the transverse wall temperature conditions.

The remaining solid paraffin is accelerated to melt by the natural convection of the liquid paraffin formed near the heating surface; and the greater the heat transfer temperature difference is, the greater the natural convection is and the shorter the time for heat storage is.     

Influence numerical analysis of combustion chamber thermal boundary conditions on unsteady combustion characteristics in micro ICE

To research the influence of combustion chamber thermal boundary conditions on micro combustion characteristics in micro ICE, the laminar flow finite rate model is adopted to simulate the micro combustion process. Firstly, the influence of grid scale, the time step length and the maximum iterations per time step on accuracy of simulation results are explored. The results show that simulation results agree well with experimental results. And then, the influences of heat transfer coefficient, wall thickness and material on combustion characteristics are discussed. The results indicate that heat transfer coefficient has obvious influence on combustion characteristics. The pressure rise rate decreases, the ignition delays and the highest pressure value drops 2 atmospheres as heat transfer coefficient increases from 0 to 55 W/(m 2·K). The wall thickness and material have a little effect on combustion characteristics. This is because that the main heat transfer resistance in the heat flow path from cylinder to external environment lies between the outer wall and environment.
