In this study, the effect of distance between vertical and parallel heat generating plates which are fixed in a given volume on the natural convection to the air between plates is investigated both numerically and experimentally. The conservation equations which represent the constant property air flow in fixed and rectangular cross section channel are solved by the FloEFD software which used the Finite Volume Method and the SIMPLE algorithm. The maximum temperatures of plates are compared with the experimental results. The optimum spacing in order to provide the maximum heat transfer to the air at given volume which plates are inserted and specified maximum temperature is determined. By using the results of optimization, relations associated with the optimum spacing, which gives the maximum heat transfer rate, and width, height of the plates and the kinematic and thermodynamic properties of air is derived. Those obtained relations are extended by using the results of studies in the literature which used plates in infinite width.

Numerical simulation of thermal convection under the influence of a magnetic field by using solenoidal bases
Yarımpabuç, Durmuş; Tarman, Işık Hakan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
The effect of an imposed magnetic field on the thermal convection between rigid plates heated from below under the influence of gravity is numerically simulated in a computational domain with periodic horizontal extent. The numerical technique is based on solenoidal basis functions satisfying the boundary conditions for both velocity and induced magnetic field. The expansion bases for the thermal field are also constructed to satisfy the boundary conditions. The governing partial differential equations are ...
Performance of rectangular fins on a vertical base in free convection heat transfer
Yazıcıoğlu, Burak; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
The steady-state natural convection heat transfer from vertical rectangular fins extending perpendicularly from vertical rectangular base was investigated experimentally. The effects of geometric parameters and base-to-ambient temperature difference on the heat transfer performance of fin arrays were observed and the optimum fin separation values were determined. Two similar experimental set-ups were employed during experiments in order to take measurements from 30 different fin configurations having fin le...
Numerical Simulation of Reciprocating Flow Forced Convection in Two-Dimensional Channels
Sert, Cüneyt (ASME International, 2003-5-20)
<jats:p>Numerical simulations of laminar, forced convection heat transfer for reciprocating, two-dimensional channel flows are performed as a function of the penetration length, Womersley (α) and Prandtl (Pr) numbers. The numerical algorithm is based on a spectral element formulation, which enables high-order spatial resolution with exponential decay of discretization errors, and second-order time-accuracy. Uniform heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions are imposed on certain regions of the ...
SPECTROSCOPIC MODIFICATIONS OF PIPPARD RELATIONS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO NH4CL
Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (1994-07-01)
The Pippard relations have been reformulated in terms of the spectroscopic parameters and applied to the NH4Cl system in the vicinity of its lambda-transition. We have effectively tested some of these relations in an earlier study where we have used, for the frequency shift, data for the nu5 lattice mode of NH4Cl. Here, using our observed frequency shifts for the internal mode, nu2 of NH4+, we have obtained a good fit to the Pippard relations for temperatures below T(lambda) for the NH4Cl system. We have th...
Development of A Computer Program for The Numerical Investigation of Heat Transfer in A Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger
Sert, İsmail Ozan; Sezer Uzol, Nilay; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakaç, Sadık (null; 2010-07-14)
In this study, a computer program is developed to calculate characteristics of a Chevron type gasketed plate heat exchanger (CTGPHEX) such as: the number of plates, the effective surface area and total pressure drops. The main reason to prefer the use of CTGPHEXs to other various types of heat exchangers is that the heat transfer efficiency is much higher in comparison. Working conditions such as the flow rates and inlet and outlet temperature of both flow sides and plate design parameters are used as an in...
