abstract

a steady two-dimensional laminar free convection heat transfer from a cold horizontal isothermal cylinder located above an adiabatic floor is studied both experimentally and numerically. in the experimental measurements the effects of cylinder distance from horizontal floor to its diameter (l/d) on heat transfer coefficient is studied for rayleigh numbers of 3×105 and 6×105. computations are made using openfoam (an open source ) code for wide range of rayleigh numbers from 104 to 106 and comparisons are made with the corresponding experimental measurements. flow stream lines and isothermal lines are plotted for different cylinder relative positions. results indicate that cold plume flows downstream and strikes to the horizontal floor and moves horizontally away from cylinder over the horizontal floor. the finite space between cylinder and floor makes the flow different from those cylinders surrounded by an infinite medium. results also indicate that variation of average heat transfer coefficient of the cold cylinder is highly affected by l/d. a new correlation for estimation of convection heat transfer for a single horizontal cylinder placed over an adiabatic floor is also developed.

Effect of Variable Viscosity on Convective Heat and Mass Transfer by Natural Convection from Horizontal Surface in Porous Medium

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of variable viscosity on free convective heat and mass transfer from a horizontal plate embedded in a saturated porous medium. The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into non linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and then solved by using Runge – Kutta – Gill me...

Natural Convection Heat Transfer From Horizontal Cylinders in a Vertical Arra Confined Between Parallel Walls

Laminar natural convection from an array of horizontal isothermal cylinders confined between two vertical walls, at low Rayleigh numbers, is investigated by theoretical and numerical methods. The height of the walls is kept constant, however, number of the cylinders and their spacing, the distance between the walls and Rayleigh number have been varied. The optimal spacing (confining walls) and ...

Improving the natural convective heat transfer of a rectangular heatsink using superhydrophobic walls: A numerical approach

The effect of utilizing superhydrophobic walls on improving the convective heat transfer in a rectangular heatsink has been studied numerically in this paper. The vertical walls were kept at isothermal hot-and-cold temperatures and horizontal walls were insulated. The boundary condition on the walls was: no-slip for regular, and slip (with slip length of 500 µm) for superhydrophobic walls. By c...

An Experimental Investigation of Convective Boiling Heat Transfer Using Alternative and Natural Refrigerants Inside Horizontal Microchannels

In present study, the two phase flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R410A, R32 and R290 in microchannels are demonstrated. The experimental data were conducted in horizontal stainless steel tubes with the inner diameter of 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm. The testing conditions were performed with the mass fluxes range from 200 to 500 kg/m2s, the heat fluxes from 10 to 20 kW/m2, the s...
