Oscillatory flow forced convection in micro heat spreaders

2002-11-01
Anew micro heat spreader (MHS) concept for efficient transport of large, concentrated heat loads is introduced. The MHS is a single-phase, closed microfluidic system, which utilizes reciprocating flow forced convection. This microfluidic device has the potential to control transient heat loads by active control strategies. Hence, it can be utilized in various thermal management applications, mainly in electronic cooling. The MHS concept is validated by numerical solutions of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and heat transport equations via a recently developed arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian spectral element algolithm. Analytical relations for power consumption and heat removal capacities of the MHS are presented.

EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN PARALLEL-PLATE MICROCHANNELS ON HEAT TRANSFER
Turgay, M. B.; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, the effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer in two-dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed numerically for steady-state, single-phase, developing, and laminar air flow in the slip flow regime. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefaction effect. The effect of triangular roughness elements on Nusselt number are compared to cases with smooth surfaces. The results indicate that increasing surface roughness reduces heat ...
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF BUBBLING FLUIDIZED BED TO BE USED AS THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE INTEGRATED TO HIGH-TEMPERATURE CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER
HİÇDURMAZ, SERDAR; Tarı, İlker (Begell House, 2018-01-01)
A thermal energy storage unit designed to be used in a solid particle concentrated solar energy system is analyzed with the help of ANSYS Fluent 17.0. Hydrodynamics of the bubbling fluidized sand bed of 0.28 m × 1 m × 0.025 m dimensions to be used as a direct contact heat exchanger is modeled and validated. Geldart B-type particles with diameter of 275 micrometers and density of 2500 kg/m3 are used in modeling of bubbling fluidized sand bed. A Syamlal−O'Brien drag model with restitution coefficient of 0.99 ...
Modeling and numerical analysis of single droplet drying
Dalmaz, Nesip; Özbelge, H. Önder; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
A new single droplet drying model is developed that can be used as a part of computational modeling of a typical spray drier. It is aimed to describe the drying behavior of a single droplet both in constant and falling rate periods using receding evaporation front approach coupled with the utilization of heat and mass transfer equations. A special attention is addressed to develop two different numerical solution methods, namely the Variable Grid Network (VGN) algorithm for constant rate period and the Vari...
Account of nonlocal ionization by fast electrons in the fluid models of a direct current glow discharge
Rafatov, İsmail; KUDRYAVTSEV, A. A. (AIP Publishing, 2012-09-01)
We developed and tested a simple hybrid model for a glow discharge, which incorporates nonlocal ionization by fast electrons into the "simple" and "extended" fluid frameworks. Calculations have been performed for an argon gas. Comparison with the experimental data as well as with the hybrid (particle) and fluid modelling results demonstated good applicability of the proposed model. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

Optimisation and design of PV modules for the application on bus roof-top and system integration for solar cooling
DEMİRCİOĞLU, Olgu; ES, FIRAT; Çiftpınar, Emine Hande; ZEYBEK, Akin; TUNCER, Cahit; Turan, Raşit (2015-09-18)
In this study, an external electrical cooling unit powered by PV modules was installed on the roof‐top of a bus to keep cooled interior atmosphere at a certain temperature level during the journey breaks. All solar cells used in this project were fabricated by Center for Solar Energy Research and Applications (GUNAM) and; then, integrated onto a bus roof together with MAN Turkey A.Ş. For integration of PV modules onto roof of bus, a reliable and commercially applicable method has been developed. Following i...
