In the paper presented is application of a correlation describing flow boiling data, developed for conventional tubes, to small diameter tubes. Comparison between data from literature and calculated values has been made, which gives poor agreement and indicates that substantially more research is required to develop correlations with theoretical foundations to predict heat transfer in small diameter channels.

In this paper authors would like to present the results of experimental investigations and modelling of repulsive force acting on the rigid sphere (representing the bubble) in its flow along the vertical wall. It has beenfound that such force has a periodical character and depends on the flow Reynolds number. Comparison between measured and calculated values has been made, which gives satisfactory agreement.

This paper reports on a numerical study for steady flow and heat transfer distribution for a configuration relevant to Liquid Composite Molding, where a gap between a porous substrate and the solid boundary of a mold cavity yields an edge flow. The flow within the porous domain is modeled by the Brinkman-Forchheimer formulation, and the edge flow itself is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The cure of the fluid (resin) is simulated as a volumetric heat generation. The predictions are obtained using a well-tested control-volume finite element method, however, a novel methodology had to be devised to define the interface between the free and porous system. The most relevant finding is the critical role of the gap upon the quality of the part. The presence of the gap can reduce substantially the average flow through the porous substrate, therefore yielding high temperature levels in this region. These temperatures may be sufficiently high to cause serious defects to the part being molded.

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of the fully developed thermal field in a flume was performed. Constant heat flux boundary condition was imposed on the heated bottom in a way, which allowed tracing of the temperature fluctuations on the wall. Free surface boundary conditions for momentum and adiabatic boundary condition for temperature were applied on the free surface. Ill-posedness of the energy equation with such boundary conditions was removed with an additional constrain: average non-dimensional wall temperature was fixed to zero. DNS was performed at constant friction Reynolds number Re=171 and Prandtl numbers 1 and 5.4. The type of the boundary condition did not affect the profile of the mean temperature. The main difference between two types of boundary conditions is in the temperature RMS fluctuations, which retain a nonzero value on the wall for constant heat flux boundary condition, and zero for constant non-dimensional temperature. Certain changes are visible also in the behavior of skewness, flatness, and other turbulent statistics in the near-wall region. An important issue is the difference between the thermal streak spacing on the isoflux wall and the velocity streak spacing near the wall. While the thermal streaks closely follow the velocity streaks for isotemperature wall boundary condition, the temperature streaks near the isoflux wall do not coincide with the velocity low speed streaks. The DNS shows that thermal streak spacing near the wall depends on Prandtl number. Thermal streak spacing is larger than the velocity streak spacing and is approaching to the well known value of the velocity streak spacing (90-100 wall units) at Prandtl number Pr=5.4.

n this study, a double slope solar still has been designed and fabricated with the help of locally available materials for the climatic condition of Sultanpur, India. The experimental study was performed to investigate the effect of basin water, wind velocity on the heat transfer coefficient (convective, evaporative, and radiative) and yield of solar still. A mathematical model is developed to understand the impact of wind velocity and basin water depth in the double slope solar still on the heat transfer coefficient. It was found that the convective heat transfer coefficient depends upon the water mass and the temperature of basin mass, and glass cover temperature. The maximum value of hew (55.05 W/(m2K) and 31.80 W/(m2K)) and hcw , (2.48 W/(m2K) and 2.38 W/(m2K)) found for depths of 2 cm and 5 cm, respectively. The radiative heat transfer coefficient found to be a maximum of 8.31 W/(m2K) for 2 cm depth, and it increases as the condensation increases, because the glass surface temperature increases as vapour transfers its energy to the surface. On increasing the depth from 2 cm to 5 cm, the yield from the solar still decreases by 25.45 %. The maximum yield of 2.5 l/m2/day was found for a 2 cm water depth. The theoretical and experimental yield agreed with an error of 7.5 %, 3.25 %, 7.4 %, and 8.4 % for water depths of 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, respectively. It was also found that the yield from the solar still increases as the wind speed increase because this leads the faster condensation at the glass surface.

The paper aims to determine the mechanical properties of the adhesive joints made with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives. Two types of double-sided acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are used. Three construction materials are used to prepare the adhesive joints: structural steel sheet (C45), aluminium alloy sheet (EN-AW 5754), and titanium sheet (Grade 2). Strength tests of adhesive joints made with the pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are carried out both after conditioning time at room temperature (23 °C) and subjected to thermal shocks (500 cycles: +60 °C / -40 °C). Strength tests are carried out based on the DIN EN 1465 standard on a Zwick/Roell Z150 testing machine. The main conclusion from the tests carried out was the positive effect of thermal shocks on the mechanical strength of joints bonded with pressure-sensitive adhesive tape.

A numerical study is presented on the effects of various nozzle geometries and operating conditions on the performance of a Pulse Detonation Engine (PDE). An unsteady numerical simulation model, which is second order accurate in space and first order accurate in time, using an automated Java based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is presented. One- and two-dimensional transient CFD models were employed in a systematic manner to study the propulsive performance characteristics of the PDE under different operating conditions. Preliminary studies of the effects of nozzle geometry on the performance characteristics of a generic PDE are presented. The results indicate that an expanding nozzle, capable of adapting with the cycle time and the ambient pressure, is very suitable for optimizing the PDE performance. Addition of a straight, diverging or converging nozzle improves the performance. However, it is observed that there is an optimum value of the exit area of a divergent nozzle for performance improvement. At low ambient pressure addition of a nozzle increases the specific impulse of the PDE tube. It is also seen that a diverging nozzle is more effective than a converging-diverging nozzle at low ambient pressure. The study indicates that increased volume of the reacting fuel mixture has a negative effect on the PDE performance. The results show that a 25% reduction of the reacting fuel mixture leads to approximately 18% increase in the value of the specific impulse.

Numerical simulation has been performed for mixed convection of heated vertical cylinder with a constant temperature in a saturated porous medium subjected to lateral flow. Four different geometric aspect ratios 5,10,25 and 50 were considered, which give ratios of axial length to diameter. Based on dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression, correlations for the Nusselt number against the Rayleigh and the Peclet numbers have been obtained. It is shown that the average Nusselt number (Nu) is a function of the Rayleigh number (Ra d ) and the Peclet number ( Pe ): Nu=3.1√Pe for Ra d /Pe 1. As compared with Nu = 3.1√Pe for the case of horizontal forced flow around a vertical cylinder, the results of this investigation indicates that heat transfer can be remarkable enhanced by natural convection when forced convection is weak.

The contribution deals with numerical simulation of conjugate heat transfer in air heater of the laundry dryer. The heat transfer consists of internal heat generation in the electrical heating coils, forced convection from the coils to the air and heat conduction through the metal walls of the heater. In order to simplify the computational mesh the porous media concept was used for discretization of electrical coils. A special attention was given to the selection of a turbulence model, capable of accurate solution of conjugate heat transfer. After extensive testings the SST model, used in the numerical code CFX5, was selected. The computational results were compared with results of velocity and temperature measurements on the device in the laundry dryer, and good agreement was observed.
