CFD simulations of convective heat transfer in actively heated tube bundle

Heat Transfer and Carryover in the Dryout of a Heated Vertical Tube

This work concerns dryout experiments in which a tube, initially containing water, filled up or partially filled and at 1,2 or 3 atmosphere pressures, is heated. The initial water column experience three thermal regions. The first region, called the first period, involves heating of the tube until saturation conditions are obtained in the water. Boiling of the water in the tube causes swelling ...

Determination of surface convective heat transfer coefficients by CFD

Heat and vapour convective surface coefficients are required in practically all heat and vapour transport calculations. In building envelope research, such coefficients are often assumed constants for a set of conditions. Heat transfer surface coefficients are often determined using empirical correlations based on measurements of different geometry and flows. Vapour transfer surface coefficient...

Convective Heat Transfer from a Heated Rotating Disk at Arbitrary Inclination Angle in Laminar Flow

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...
