文摘The latent heat thermal energy storage system with solid-liquid phase-change material(SLPCM-LHTES)as energy storage medium provides outstanding advantages such as system simplicity,stable temperature control,and high energy storage density,showing great potential toward addressing the energy storage problems associated with decentralized,intermittent,and unstable renewable energy sources.Notably,effective heat transfer within the SLPCM-LHTES is crucial for extending its application potential.Therefore,a comprehensive understanding of the heat transfer processes in SLPCM-LHTES from a theoretical perspective is necessary.In this review,we propose a three-stage heat transfer pathway in SLPCM-LHTES,including external heating,interfacial heat transfer,and intrinsic phase transition processes.From the perspective of this three-stage pathway,the theoretical basis of heat transfer processes and typical efficiency enhancement strategies in SLPCM-LHTES are summarized.Moreover,an overview of the typical applications of SLPCM-LHTES in various fields,such as building energy efficiency,textiles and garments,and battery thermal management,is presented.Finally,the remaining challenges and possible avenues of research in this burgeoning field will also be discussed.

文摘The overall heat transfer coefficient(OHTC)of rock fractures is a fundamental parameter for characterizing the heat transfer behavior of rock fractures in hot dry rock(HDR)geothermal mining.Although a number of practical formulae for heat transfer coefficients have been developed in the literature,there is still no widely accepted analytical solution.This paper constructs highly accurate analytical solutions for the temperatures of the inner fracture wall and the fluid.Then they are employed to develop new definition-based formulae(formula A and its simplification formula B)of the OHTC,which are well validated by the experimental and numerical simulation results.An empirical correlation formula of heat transfer coefficient is proposed based on the definition-based formulae which can be directly used in the numerical simulations of heat transfer in rock fractures.A site-scale application example of numerical simulation also demonstrates the effectiveness of the empirical correlation formula.
文摘Due to the complex high-temperature characteristics of hydrocarbon fuel,the research on the long-term working process of parallel channel structure under variable working conditions,especially under high heat-mass ratio,has not been systematically carried out.In this paper,the heat transfer and flow characteristics of related high temperature fuels are studied by using typical engine parallel channel structure.Through numeri⁃cal simulation and systematic experimental verification,the flow and heat transfer characteristics of parallel chan⁃nels under typical working conditions are obtained,and the effectiveness of high-precision calculation method is preliminarily established.It is known that the stable time required for hot start of regenerative cooling engine is about 50 s,and the flow resistance of parallel channel structure first increases and then decreases with the in⁃crease of equivalence ratio(The following equivalence ratio is expressed byΦ),and there is a flow resistance peak in the range ofΦ=0.5~0.8.This is mainly caused by the coupling effect of high temperature physical proper⁃ties,flow rate and pressure of fuel in parallel channels.At the same time,the cooling and heat transfer character⁃istics of parallel channels under some conditions of high heat-mass ratio are obtained,and the main factors affect⁃ing the heat transfer of parallel channels such as improving surface roughness and strengthening heat transfer are mastered.In the experiment,whenΦis less than 0.9,the phenomenon of local heat transfer enhancement and deterioration can be obviously observed,and the temperature rise of local structures exceeds 200℃,which is the risk of structural damage.Therefore,the reliability of long-term parallel channel structure under the condition of high heat-mass ratio should be fully considered in structural design.

文摘As the dominant seepage channel in rock masses,it is of great significance to study the influence of fracture roughness distribution on seepage and heat transfer in rock masses.In this paper,the fracture roughness distribution functions of the Bakhtiary dam site and Oskarshamn/Forsmark mountain were fitted using statistical methods.The COMSOL Multiphysics finite element software was utilized to analyze the effects of fracture roughness distribution types and empirical formulas for fracture hydraulic aperture on the seepage field and temperature field of rock masses.The results show that:(1)The fracture roughness at the Bakhtiary dam site and Oskarshamn/Forsmark mountain follows lognormal and normal distributions,respectively;(2)For rock masses with the same expected value and standard deviation of fracture roughness,the outflow from rock masses with lognormal distribution of fracture roughness is significantly larger than that of rock masses with normal distribution of fracture roughness;(3)The fracture hydraulic aperture,outflow,and cold front distance of the Li and Jiang model are significantly larger than those of the Barton model;(4)The outflow,hydraulic pressure distribution,and temperature distribution of the Barton model are more sensitive to the fracture roughness distribution type than those of the Li and Jiang model.

文摘Utilizing superwettability micro/nanostructures to enhance the condensation heat transfer(CHT)performance of engineering materials has attracted great interest due to its values in basic research and technological innovations.Currently,exploring facile micro/nanofabrication approaches to create high-efficiency CHT surfaces has been one of research hotspots.In this work,we propose and demonstrate a type of new superwettability hybrid surface for high-efficiency CHT,which consists of superhydrophobic nanoneedle arrays and triangularly-patterned superhydrophilic microdots(SMDs).Such hybrid surface can be fabricated by the facile growth of densely-packed ZnO nanoneedles on the Zn-electroplated copper surface followed by fluorosilane modification and mask-assisted photodegradation.Through regulating the diameters and interspaces of SMDs,we obtain the optimized triangularly-patterned hybrid surface,which shows 42.7%higher CHT coefficient than the squarely-patterned hybrid surface and 58.5%higher CHT coefficient than the superhydrophobic surface.The key of such hybrid surface design is to considerably increase CHT coefficient brought about by SMD-triggered drop sweeping at the cost of slightly reducing heat transfer area of superhydrophobic functional zone for drop jumping.Such new strategy helps develop advanced CHT surfaces for high-efficiency electronic cooling and energy utilization.
文摘This comprehensive research examines the dynamics of magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)flow and heat transfer within a couple stress fluid.The investigation specifically focuses on the fluid’s behavior over a vertical stretching sheet embedded within a porous medium,providing valuable insights into the complex interactions between fluid mechanics,thermal transport,and magnetic fields.This study accounts for the significant impact of heat generation and thermal radiation,crucial factors for enhancing heat transfer efficiency in various industrial and technological contexts.The research employs mathematical techniques to simplify complex partial differential equations(PDEs)governing fluid flow and heat transfer.Specifically,suitable similarity transformations are applied to convert the PDEs into a more manageable system of ordinary differential equations(ODEs).The homotopy perturbation method(HPM)is employed to derive approximate analytical solutions for the problem.The influences of key parameters,such as magnetic field strength,heat generation,thermal radiation,porosity,and couple stress,on velocity and temperature profiles are analyzed and discussed.Findings indicate that the mixed convection parameter positively affects flow velocity,while the magnetic field parameter significantly alters the flow dynamics,exhibiting an inverse relationship.Further,this type of flow behavior model is relevant to real-world systems like cooling of nuclear reactors and oil extraction through porous formations,where magnetic and thermal effects are significant.
文摘We are pleased to introduce this special thematic section on Nanofluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer that is being included in Acta Mechanica Sinica(AMS).This thematic issue consists of 6 papers selected from papers that were presented at the 18th International Symposium on Numer-ical Analysis of Fluid Flows,Heat and Mass Transfer-Nu-merical Fluids 2023,held in Heraklion,Crete Greece,11-17 September 2023,and invited through a general call.The symposium covers various subjects:from new numerical methods and fundamental research until engineering appli-cations,and it is a part of the International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics(ICNAAM),held annually.
文摘This study aims to elucidate the connection between the shape factor of GO(graphene oxide)nanoparticles and the behavior of blood-based non-aligned,2-dimensional,incompressible nanofluid flow near stagnation point,under the influence of temperature-dependent viscosity.Appropriate similarity transformations are employed to transform the non-linear partial differential equations(PDEs)into ordinary differential equations(ODEs).The governing equations are subsequently resolved by utilizing the shooting method.The modified Maxwell model is used to estimate the thermal efficiency of the nanofluid affected by different nanoparticle shapes.The impact of various shapes of GO nanoparticles on the velocity and temperature profiles,along with drag forces and heat flux at the stretching boundary,are examined with particular attention to factors such as viscosity changes.Numerical findings are based on the constant concentration of ϕ=5% with nanoparticles measuring 25 nm in size.The influence of different shapes of GO nanoparticles is analyzed for velocity,temperature distributions,as well as drag forces,and heat transfer at the stretching boundary.The velocity profile is highest for spherical-shaped nanoparticles,whereas the blade-shaped particles produced the greatest temperature distribution.Additionally,itwas observed that enhancing the nanoparticles’volume fraction from 1%to 9%significantly improved the temperature profile.Streamline trends are more inclined to the left when the stretching ratio parameter B=0.7 is applied,and a similar pattern is noted for the variable viscosity case with m=0.5.Furthermore,the blade-shaped nanoparticles exhibit the highest thermal conductivity,while the spherical-shaped nanoparticles display the lowest.

文摘This study investigates the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure gradient of refrigerant R410A inmicro-channel flat tubes.Experiments were conducted at saturation temperatures ranging from 25℃ to 30℃,mass fluxes between 198 and 305 kg/m^(2)s,and heat fluxes from 9.77 to 20.18 kW/m^(2),yielding 99 sets of local heat transfer coefficient data.The results show that increasing heat flux and mass flux enhances the heat transfer coefficient,although the rate of enhancement decreases with increasing vapor quality.Conversely,higher saturation temperatures slightly reduce the heat transfer coefficient.Additionally,the experimental findings reveal discrepancies in the accuracy of existing pressure drop and heat transfer coefficient prediction models under the studied conditions.This study recommends using the Kimand Mudawar correlation to predict pressure gradients within the tested range,with aMean Error(ME)of−5.24%observed in this study.For heat transfer coefficients,the Cooper and Kandlikar correlations are recommended,achieving a Mean Absolute Error(MAE)of approximately 22%.This research provides value for performance prediction and parameter selection of micro-channel technology in broader application scenarios within heating,ventilation and air-conditioning fields.

文摘A novel droplet solidification technique was developed to emulate sub-rapid solidification and facilitate the formation of deposited films during the strip casting of silicon steels(w(Si):2.5 and 3.5 wt.%).With the increasing number of droplet ejection experiments,the peak heat fluxes between droplet and substrate decreased firstly(1rd–5th ejection),then increased(5th–7th ejection),and finally decreased again(>7th ejection).In the first five experiments,the interfacial thermal resistance between the droplet and the substrate improved with increasing film thickness.However,at the onset of the 6th droplet ejection experiment,the deposited film initiated its melting process due to the accumulated thermal resistance,which has the potential to eradicate the cavity or air space existing between the droplet and the substrate.Consequently,the interfacial contact condition was improved gradually with the increasing melting area from 5th to 7th droplet ejection experiments,leading to an increase in heat fluxes.Increased SiO_(2) content in deposited films for 3.5 wt.%Si steel led to lower peak heat fluxes than for 2.5 wt.%Si steel.The solidification structure of the 2.5 wt.%Si steel droplet sample comprised a fine grain zone at the base,a columnar grain zone in the center,and an equiaxed grain zone at the top.However,the solidification structure of the 3.5 wt.%Si steel droplet only contained columnar grains and equiaxed grains,with a larger average grain size due to the lower interfacial heat flux.
文摘Plate heat exchangers suffer from significant energy losses,which adversely affect the overall efficiency of thermal systems.To address this challenge,various heat transfer enhancement techniques have been investigated.Notably,the incorporation of surface corrugations is widely recognized as both effective and practical.Chevron corrugation is the most employed design.However,there remains a need to investigate alternative geometries that may offer superior performance.This study aims to find a novel corrugation design by conducting a comparative CFD analysis of flat,square,chevron,and cylindrical corrugated surfaces,assessing their impact on heat transfer enhancement within a plate heat exchanger.ANSYS Fluent software was used for simulation at four distinct Reynolds numbers(10,000,18,000,26,000,and 28,000),with a heat flux of 12,000 W/m^(2).A structured mesh was generated using Pointwise software.The material of the solid plates was modelled as aluminum,the fluid was modelled as water,and the flow was turbulent.To obtain a fully developed turbulent flow,a separate inlet duct was modelled,and the output velocity profile of the inlet duct was input into the plate heat exchanger.The Nusselt number(Nu)and heattransfer coefficient(h)were calculated to evaluate the performance of all surfaces.The results indicate that cylindrical corrugated surfaces exhibit higher Nusselt numbers than chevron,square,and flat plates.This higher performance is because of the generation of vortices in the middle of the cylindrical texture.Consequently,flow recirculation occurs,leading to reattachment to the mainstreamflow.This phenomenon induces increased turbulence,thereby enhancing the heat transfer efficiency.To validate the results,a grid-convergence independence test was performed for three different mesh sizes.In addition,empirical calculations were performed using the Dittus-Boelter and the Genilaski equations to validate the results of the flat-plate heat exchanger.It was concluded that the cylinder was the best corrugated surface and had a maximum heat transfer 35%higher than that of a flat plate.
文摘The pivotal role microchannels play in the thermal management of electronic components has,in recent decades,prompted extensive research into methods for enhancing their heat transfer performance.Among these methods,surface wettability modification was found to be highly effective owing to its significant influence on boiling dynamics and heat transfer mechanisms.In this study,we modified surface wettability using a nanocomposite coating composed of graphene nano plate(GNPs)and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT)and then examined how the modification affected the transfer of boiling heat in microchannels.The resultant heat transfer coefficients for hydrophilic and hydrophilic composite(GNPs+MWCNT)microchannels were,respectively,42.8%and 33.95%higher compared with that of the uncoated surface.These results verify that hydrophilic GNP-based coating significantly improves boiling heat transfer performance.It was observed that a minor increase in contact angle,θfrom 73.142°to 75.73°,resulted in a noticeable decrease in thermal performance.This is attributed to diminished liquid film stability,reduced nucleation site activity,and weakened capillary-driven liquid replenishment.These findings underscore the crucial role of optimized surface wettability in maintaining efficient microchannel boiling.At high mass flux,the GNPS microchannels exhibited maximum pressure drop values,with a pressure drop ratio as high as 36%compared to 29%for the GNPs+MWCNT composite samples.Nevertheless,when a composite hydrophilic–hydrophobic coating was deposited through electrodeposition,the enhancement in heat transfer was less significant.This was probably due to decreased surface uniformity,diminished liquid film stability,and the disruption of effective nucleation behavior,all associated with the slight increase in surface contact angle.The obtained results can be used as guidance for designing advanced cooling surfaces in high-performance microelectronic and energy systems,where precise control of surface characteristics is critical.

文摘In exploring hypersonic propulsion,precooler combined engines require the development of lightweight,efficient,and compact heat exchangers(HX).As additive manufacturing technology continues to progress,triply periodic minimal surface(TPMS)structures,characterized by exceptionally high surface area to volume ratios and intricate geometric structures,have demonstrated superior heat transfer performance.This research examines the thermal-hydraulic(TH)behavior of FKS and Diamond as heat transfer structures under different Reynolds numbers through numerical simulations.The Nusselt number for FKS is 13.2%–17.6%higher than Diamond,while the friction factor for FKS is approximately 18.8%–29.3%higher.A detailed analysis of the internal flow mechanisms reveals that the flow pattern within TPMS can be summarized as cyclic convergence-separation-convergence.The fluid experiences constant disturbances from the structure in all spatial directions,generating strong turbulent mixing and large wall shear stresses,which significantly enhance heat transfer performance.
文摘Industry and energy continue to require piston engines(PICE)at a high level worldwide.Therefore,science and technology must urgently work on improving the PICE working cycle.Improving the quality of the intake process of theworking fluid into the cylinder is one of the most effective ways to improve the operational performance of PICE.The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of various cylinder head(CylH)designs on the gas-dynamic and heat-exchange qualities of air flows within an engine model’s intake system.Three different CylH designs were studied:the basic configuration and upgraded cylinder heads with a square valve and a square valve port.These designs are innovative.Laboratory conditions were used to conduct the studies for stationary air flow.The experiments covered the range of Reynolds numbers from 8500 to 96,000.The intake system’s gas dynamics and heat transfer were determined using the thermal anemometry method,which was based on constant-temperature hot-wire anemometers.It has been established that the use of upgraded CylHs causes an increase in the turbulence number of flow by an average of 13.5%.Additionally,itwas found that the increase in the turbulence number of flowin the cylinder is about 19%when installing new CylH designs.It was shown that therewas an increase in the heat transfer coefficient in the intake pipe by 10%–40%when installing modernized CylH designs in the intake system.The article focused on the problems of increasing the turbulence level and intensifying the heat transfer of stationary air flow in the intake system,specifically in PICEs.The study’s findings are novel in the areas of applied gas dynamics and PICEs.

文摘The present study investigates the dynamic behavior of a ternary-hybrid nanofluid within a tapered asymmetric channel,focusing on the impact of unsteady oscillatory flow under the influence of a magnetic field.This study addresses temperature-sensitive water transport mechanisms relevant to industrial applications such as thermal management and energy-efficient fluid transport.By suspending nanoparticles of diverse shapes-platelets,blades,and spheres in a hybrid base fluid comprising cobalt ferrite,magnesium oxide,and graphene oxide,the study examines the influence of both small and large volume fraction values.The governing equations are converted into a dimensionless form.With suitable assumptions,the partial differential equations(PDEs)are simplified into ordinary differential equations(ODEs),which are then solved using an analyticalmethod.Theproposed solution is verified using a numerical approach with the BVP4C solver.The analysis yields detailed graphs that depict the behavior of key fluid flow parameters,such as velocity,temperature,concentration,skin friction,Nusselt number,and Sherwood number,within the tapered asymmetric channel.
