Heat transport in transitional regimes of thermal convection

1999-01-01
A study of transition to turbulence in Rayleigh-Benard thermal convection is performed and transitional regimes are identified by the use of a Karhunen-Loeve (K-L) basis in an earlier work [1]. This basis is empirically generated from a numerical realization of turbulent thermal convection flow field and, thus, it is specific to the flow under consideration. In this work, we use the attached physical meaning to the K-L basis elements to provide an explanation for the experimentally observed changes in the convective heat transport as the flow goes through the transitional regimes.

Heat transfer enhancement in water-feldspar upflows through vertical annuli
Ozbelge, TA; Koker, SH (1996-01-01)
Although there are many industrial applications of liquid-solid flows in technology, the available knowledge of heat transfer to or from such flows is limited. In this study the effects of parameters on the enhancement of heat transfer from water-feldspar slurries flowing turbulently upwards in vertical annuli were investigated and the experimental conditions beneficial to the enhancement of heat transfer were determined. It was found that the heat transfer enhancement in upflow of slurries through a vertic...
Heat transfer in ultra-high temperature advanced ceramics under high enthalpy arc-jet conditions
Cecere, Anselmo; Savino, Raffaele; Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Monteverde, Frederic (2015-12-01)
Aim of this work is to analyze the response of an ultra-high temperature ceramic at typical heat flux conditions of thermal protection systems of a re-entry spacecraft. In particular, a ZrB2-SiC based ultra-high temperature advanced ceramic sharp leading edge demonstrator (1 mm nominal radius of curvature) was manufactured and tested in a non-equilibrium high enthalpy supersonic airflow, 20 MJ/kg of peak total enthalpy, by using an arc-jet ground facility. The surface temperature of the leading edge was mon...
Heat transfer effects on the stability of low speed plane Couette-Poiseuille flow
Oezgen, Serkan; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Ebrinc, Ali Asian (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-10-01)
The stability problem of low-speed plane Couette-Poiseuille flow of air under heat transfer effects is solved numerically using the linear stability theory. Stability equations obtained from two-dimensional equations of motion and their boundary conditions result in an eigenvalue problem that is solved using an efficient shoot-search technique. Variable fluid properties are accounted for both in the basic flow and the perturbation (stability) equations. A parametric study is performed in order to assess the...
HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT IN LAMINAR CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER WITH NANOFLUIDS
Özerinç, Sezer; YAZICIOGLU, A. G. (2011-06-03)
In order to utilize nanofluids in practical applications, accurate prediction of forced convection heat transfer of nanofluids is necessary. In the first part of the present study, we consider the application of some classical correlations of forced convection heat transfer developed for the flow of pure fluids to the case of nanofluids by the use of nanofluid thermophysical properties. The results are compared with experimental data available in the literature, and it is shown that this approach underestim...
Heat Transfer for the Film-Cooled Vane of a 1-1/2 Stage High-Pressure Transonic Turbine-Part I: Experimental Configuration and Data Review With Inlet Temperature Profile Effects
Kahveci, Harika Senem; MATHISON, RANDALL; DUNN, MICHAEL (2013-03-01)
This paper investigates the vane airfoil and inner endwall heat transfer for a full-scale turbine stage operating at design corrected conditions under the influence of different vane inlet temperature profiles and vane cooling flow rates. The turbine stage is a modern 3D design consisting of a cooled high-pressure vane, an un-cooled high-pressure rotor, and a low-pressure vane. Inlet temperature profiles (uniform, radial, and hot streaks) are created by a passive heat exchanger and can be made circumferenti...
