Convection heat transfercoefficient distribution over the fin surface is one of the theorehcal problems in research on enhancement of heat transfer. In this paper, a tube with an attached rectangular fin is used for a model and thefin surface is divided into a network of nodes by the finite difference techinque. When the wind velocityis u= 4. 5 m/s. the temperature distribution of discretization is obtained by experimental measurement,then the convection heat transfer coefficient of all nodes are soved by using the methed of inverse heatconduction problem. Through checking with heat balance methed, the results show that the solution cancorrectly express the actual heat transfer situation.This result is useful to experimental research onenhancement of heat transfer for finned for heat exchangers.

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 performance analysis of lithium bromide solution falling film evaporation in vertical tube

For making the refrigeration system directly driven by low temperature waste flue gas heat more efficiently,an experimental research on the heat transfer of vertical in tube laminar falling film with different heat fluxes and different concentrations of lithium bromide solution is conducted.The outcome of falling film evaporation experiments show that the heat transfer coefficient increases with the decrease of inlet concentration of lithium bromide solution and significantly increases with the increase of heat flux.Based on multiple linear regression calculation of experimental data,an experimental correlation of falling film heat transfer coefficient is obtained.A falling film generator of lithium bromide absorption chiller is designed from the correlation,and the immersed generator whose heat load is equal to the falling film generator is designed.The comparison of the two generators on heat transfer coefficient,weight and volume of heat transfer components shows that the falling film generator has great advantages.

Dropwise Condensation Heat Transfer Coefficient on the Horizontal Circular Surface with Radial Gradient Surface Energy

A theoretical model is developed for the dropwise condensation heat transfer on the horizontal circular surface with radial gradient surface energy based on the heat transfer model of individual condensate drop and the size distribution model of condensate drop on homogeneous condensation surface.The effect of variation of contact angle on the gradient surface on condensation heat transfer and condensate drop size distribution is taken account of in this model.The theoretical calculation method was obtained to predict the dropwise condensation heat transfer coefficient on the horizontal circular surface with radial gradient surface energy under various wall subcooled temperature,contact angle profile on wall surface,and working fluid.The effects of surface energy gradient,wall subcooled temperature,and thermophysical properties of condensate on the condensation heat transfer are discussed respectively.The calculation results show that the condensation heat transfer coefficient increases slightly with the increase of wall subcooled temperature.As latent heat and surface tension increasing,the condensation heat transfer coefficient increases.A larger surface energy gradient induces a larger condensation heat transfer coefficient.

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.     

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.

Effects of Heat Transfer Coefficient of External Window on Residential Buildings in Subtropical Areas

Using Designer's Simulation Toolkit DeST h developed by Tsinghua University, research was carried out on the energy consumption of a typical residential building in Ningbo, P. R. China, with a focus on the heat transfer coefficient of external windows facing every direction. Results show that variation of the heat transfer coefficient of external windows in all directions has a substantial effect on energy consumption for heating but little effect on energy consumption for cooling. It is difficult to decrease cooling energy consumption by decreasing the heat transfer coefficient of external windows in summer. The heat transfer coefficient of external windows facing south has a significant effect on building energy consumption, but the windows facing north have less effect, and those facing east and west have the least impact. Decreasing the heat transfer coefficient of external windows facing north and south from 4.7 to 3.2 produces the most favorable performance cost ratio for energy saving investments. Reasons for the decrease in the heat transfer coefficient of external windows leading to increased air conditioning energy consumption were discussed. The conclusions are useful for guiding energy efficient building design in other subtropical cities.
