Bed-to-surface heat transfer investigation from a vertically immersed cylindrical surface was conducted in large laboratory scale conical spouted and spout-fluid beds in this study. In order to design a high performance spouted and spout-fluid beds, the effects of bed design parameters (such as conical angle, inlet diameter of spouting gas entrance) and operating conditions (such as static bed height, particle size and density and spouting and fluidization gas flow rates) on the heat transfer characteristics were investigated in detail. An empirical heat transfer correlation of the average heat transfer coefficients in the annulus section for high-density particles (2500 ≤ ρp ≤ 6000 kg/m3) was also proposed for the practical use in industrial applications. The heat transfer coefficients were found to depend on the density and size of the particles. The denser and larger particles had higher minimum stable spouting velocities, which in turn lead to higher operational spouting velocities resulting in higher heat transfer coefficient values. The effect of particle diameter was more pronounced in the spout and spout-annulus interface whereas its effect diminished in the annulus region. The conical angle had a significant effect on the gas flow distribution and particle-probe contact dynamics in the vi spouted bed and it was observed that the heat transfer values in the annulus decreased with the increase in conical angle due to lowered particle circulation. Benefits of the spout-fluid operation on the heat transfer coefficients were found fairly minor considering maximum of 7 and 3 % increase in heat transfer coefficient observed during spout-fluid operation for 31º and 66º conical angle conical spoutfluid beds, respectively, since the fluidizing gas (Gf) was not able to penetrate sufficiently inside the annulus to maintain an effective gas flow on the heat transfer surface. Therefore, from the heat transfer point of view, given the required flow rates for spout-fluid bed operation, spouted beds were found to be more feasible compared to spout-fluid beds.

Improving flow structure and natural convection within fin spacings of plate fin heat sinks
Özet, Mehmet Erdem; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
The main objectives of this thesis are to numerically investigate the previously observed recirculation zones and longitudinal vortices that occur in low fin height plate finned horizontal heat sinks and to improve the flow structures and heat transfer in these zones using various approaches with the help of simulations performed using commercially available CFD software. The approaches used for improvements are replacing the outer most fins with higher ones, introducing gaps on the length of the fins in va...
Temperature-dependent structural transition, electronic properties and impedance spectroscopy analysis of Tl2InGaS4 crystals grown by the Bridgman method
Qasrawi, A. F.; Alkarem, Qotaibah A.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2018-09-01)
In this work, we report the temporary structural modifications associated with the in situ heating of the Tl2InGaS4 crystals in the temperature range of 300-420 K. The analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns revealed the temperature-independent possible phase transformations between the monoclinic and triclinic phases. The temperature analysis of the lattice parameters, crystallite size, strain, dislocation density and stacking faults has shown a temporary enhancement in the crystallinity of this compoun...
Elliptical Pin Fins as an Alternative to Circular Pin Fins for Gas Turbine Blade Cooling Applications Part 2 Wake Flow Field Measurements and Visualization Using Particle Image Velocimetry
Uzol, Oğuz (null; 2001-06-07)
Extensive wake flow field measurements and visualizations are conducted using particle image velocimetry (PIV) inside the wakes of the elliptical and circular pin fin arrays in order to better understand the flow physics and the loss mechanisms of these devices. The true-mean velocity field inside the wake two diameters downstream of the pin fin arrays is obtained by collecting and ensemble averaging a large number of PIV samples in the midplane of the test section. Additional experiments are also conducted...
Nozzle design for ArcelorMittal Dofasco's No. 1 continuous caster for minimizing sliver defects
Sengupta, Joydeep; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (2011-07-01)
A study was conducted at ArcelorMlttal Dofasco to evaluate fluid flow patterns generated in the No. 1 continuous caster mold by using computational fluid flow and heat transfer models. Single-phase (liquid steel without argon co-flow), three-dimensional, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer models were developed using ANSYS CFXTM for a 220-mm-thick mold and a two-port SEN with a nozzle well used at the No. 1 CC to produce ULC steel slabs at various caster throughput rates. Based on these mod...
Elastic Response of Heat Generating Rod at a Variable Generating Rate
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2014-09-28)
The aim of this study is to develop a computational model to analyze thermally induced stress and deformation in a heat generating solid rod. The rod is initially at zero temperature, but for times greater than zero heat is generated internally at both space and time dependent rate. As the rod is heated up slowly an uncoupled solution is realized. The heat conduction equation with a variable generation rate is solved by a finite element collocation method. Two different generation rates are handled. The num...
