Title: Mixed convection heat transfer in a differentially heated cavity with two rotating cylinders

Abstract

Mixed convection heat transfer in a differentially heated cavity with two rotating cylinders was studied numerically for various pertinent parameters such as Richardson number, Reynolds number, non-dimensional rotation speed of the cylinder, and the location of the cylinders. The results from these simulations were validated using an open-source spectral element code, Nek5000. The results of this study were presented in terms of streamlines, isotherms, local and average Nusselt number, and temperature profiles. The results illustrated that the average Nusselt number depends strongly on the rotation speed of the cylinder, Reynolds number, and Richardson number. However, the average Nusselt number was found to be independent of the rotation speed at high Richardson number (Ri = 10). In addition, the direction of the rotation speed of the cylinders has a profound effect on the average Nusselt. Finally, the study illustrated that the magnitude and direction of the rotation speed of the cylinders have a significant effect on the flow pattern and isotherms.

Mixed convection heat transfer past in-line cylinders in a vertical duct

Journal Article Gowda, Y T.K. ; Narayana, P A.A. ; Seetharamu, K N - Numerical Heat Transfer. Part A, Applications

Heat transfer and fluid flow over a row of in-line cylinders placed between two parallel plates are studied numerically. Solutions of governing equations have been obtained using Euler`s explicit algorithm. Numerical results have been obtained for duct wall spacings S/D = 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5; Re = 50 and 100; and Pr = 0.7. The effect of Richardson number on the flow and heat transfer has been investigated in the range of Ri = {minus}5.0 to +5.0. Streamlines, temperature contours, local and average Nusselt numbers, pressure, and shear stress distribution around the cylinders are presented. There are considerable effects ofmore »« less

Measurement of convective heat transfer coefficient for a horizontal cylinder rotating in quiescent air

Journal Article Oezerdem, B - International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer

Heat transfer from a rotating cylinder is one of the problems, which is drawing attention due to its wide range of engineering applications. The present paper deals with convective heat transfer from a horizontal cylinder rotating in quiescent air, experimentally. The average convective heat transfer coefficients have been measured by using radiation pyrometer, which offers a new method. According to the experimental results, a correlation in terms of the average Nusselt number and rotating Reynolds number has been established. The average Nusselt number increased with an increase in the rotating speed. Comparison of the results, with previous studies, have beenmore »« less

Mixed convection heat transfer to and from a horizontal cylinder in cross-flow with heating from below.

Journal Article Greif, Ralph ; Evans, Gregory Herbert ; Kearney, Sean Patrick ; ... - Proposed for publication in the International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow.

Heat transfer to and from a circular cylinder in a cross-flow of water at low Reynolds number was studied both experimentally and numerically. The experiments were carried out in a high aspect ratio water channel. The test section inflow temperature and velocity, channel lower surface temperature and cylinder surface temperature were controlled to yield either laminar or turbulent flow for a desired Richardson number. When the lower surface was unheated, the temperatures of the lower surface and water upstream of the cylinder were maintained approximately equal and the flow was laminar. When the lower surface was heated, turbulence intensities asmore »« less
Onset of transition from laminar to chaos in MHD mixed convection of a lid-driven trapezoidal cavity filled with Cu-water nanofluid

Journal Article Azam, Mohammad ; Hasanuzzaman, Md., E-mail: hasanuzzaman138@gmail.com ; Saha, Sumon - AIP Conference Proceedings

The present study investigates the thermal mixing scenarios of steady magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection in a two-dimensional lid-driven trapezoidal cavity filled with Cu-water nanofluid. The top wall of the cavity slides with a uniform velocity from left to right direction, while the other walls are fixed. The bottom wall is kept with a constant higher temperature than the top one. The governing mass, momentum and energy equations are expressed in non-dimensional forms and Galerkin finite element method has been employed to solve these equations. Special attention is paid on investigating the onset of transition from laminar to chaos at puremore »« less

Natural convection over a rotating cylindrical heat source in a rectangular enclosure

Journal Article Ghaddar, N K ; Thiele, F - Numerical Heat Transfer. Part A, Applications; (United States)

a numerical study of laminar two-dimensional natural convection heat transfer from a uniformly heated horizontal cylinder rotating about its center, and placed in an isothermal rectangular enclosure, is performed using a spectral element method. The physical aspects of the flow and its thermal behavior are studied for a wide range of pure natural convection to mixed convection at low and high rotational speeds of the cylinder. The computer program has been validated against experimental correlations available on pure natural convection of heated bodies in enclosure. The rotation of the cylinder has been found to enhance the heat transfer. At lowmore »« less
