In this study, with the help of a fan, fully developed turbulent flow conditions are experimentally obtained to investigate the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of rectangular fins. Fins with different geometries are placed to the bottom surface of a square shaped channel. Finned test pieces are heated by constant heat flux and other parts are kept as well insulated. The effect of fin height to the heat transfer coefficient is investigated by performing experiments. Temperature distributions, heat transfer coefficient and velocity distributions for different fin height cases are examined.

Altınöz, Mesru; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
This thesis aims to experimentally investigate pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of single phase water flow in rectangular minichannels. The small channels are an area of interest in heat transfer field since 1970’s owing to their enhanced heat transfer characteristics. However, the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of these channels are not fully established as there is a wide number of studies in literature showing inconsistent results with each other. In order to investigate t...
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS AND TRANSIENT SIMULATION OF HEAT TRANSFER INSIDE THE FINNED TUBE ADSORBENT BED OF A THERMAL WAVE CYCLE
ÇAĞLAR, AHMET; Yamali, Cemil (Begell House, 2019-01-01)
Heat transfer enhancement inside the adsorbent bed of a thermal wave adsorption cooling cycle is investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Various adsorbent materials are tested using a finned tube adsorbent bed for the thermal wave cycle. The mathematical model is well defined, including a 2-D coupled heat and mass transfer analysis. This study presents the effects of heat transfer fluid velocity, regeneration temperature, condenser pressure, and particle diameter on the heat transfer enhancement...

In this study, the influence of several design parameters on the transient distributions of temperature, pressure and amount adsorbed in the radial direction of a cylindrical adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit using silica gel/water have been investigated numerically. For this purpose, a transient one-dimensional local thermal non-equilibrium model that accounts for both internal and external mass transfer resistances has been developed using the local volume averaging method. For the conditions in...

Steady-state heat transfer from rectangular fin arrays is examined experimentally and numerically for turbulent fully developed flow. The effects of geometrical parameters on heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number are investigated. For different inter fin ratios, Reynolds number and Nusselt number dependence of the results is investigated. A generalized empirical correlation for Nusselt number is developed for rectangular fins for a Reynolds number range of 17 x 10(7) < Re < 2.47 x 10(8), and an aspec...
EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY ON HEAT TRANSFER PERFORMANCE OF SQUARE, CYLINDRICAL AND PLATE HEAT SINKS IN EXTERNAL TRANSITION FLOW REGIME
İnci, Aykut Barış; Bayer, Özgür (2019-01-01)
Geometrical optimization of heat sinks with square, cylindrical and plate fins for heat transfer increase is numerically analyzed in transition regime external flow. The relations between the thermal characteristics of fins and boundary conditions such as free-stream velocity are investigated. Experimental studies are performed by using manufacturable fins to validate the numerical model. Heat transfer correlations are derived in order to determine average heat transfer coefficients over a certain range of ...
