Bio-inspired self-agitator for convective heat transfer enhancement

Journal Article Li, Zheng ; Xu, Xianchen ; Li, Kuojiang ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Convective heat transfer plays an important role in both the fundamental research and the development of high-performance heat exchangers. Inspired by blades of grass vibrating in the wind, we developed a self-agitator for convective heat transfer enhancement. Because of fluid-structure interactions, the agitator, with self-sustained vibration, can generate strong vortices to significantly break the thermal boundary layer and improve fluid mixing for enhanced convective heat transfer. In particular, we establish a methodology to link the vorticity field at a preferred frequency to the optimal improvement in the convective heat transfer. To identify the self-agitator preferred frequency, mode analysis is performedmore »« less

Effects of fin pattern on the air-side heat transfer coefficient in plate finned-tube heat exchangers

Conference Beecher, D T ; Fagan, T J - ASHRAE Trans.; (United States)

The effects of air velocity, heat exchanger geometry, and fin patternation on air-side heat transfer in plate finned tube heat exchangers were investigated experimentally using a single-fin passage model. The geometric parameters considered included tube diameter, transverse tube spacing, longitudinal tube spacing, number of tube rows, and fin spacing. The effects of fin pattern depth and number of fin patterns per longitudinal tube row were investigated for a pattern consisting of corrugations of triangular cross-section transverse to the direction of airflow. The heat transfer data were correlated in terms of the dimensionless heat transfer coefficient (Nusselt number) based on themore »« less

Role of Three-Dimensional Swirl in Forced Convection Heat Transfer Enhancement in Wavy-Plate-Fin Channels

Journal Article Shi, Dantong ; Lin, Kuan-Ting ; Jog, Milind A. ; ... - Journal of Heat Transfer

The influence of wall-corrugation-induced swirl flow on enhanced forced convection in wavy-plate-fin cores has been investigated. Three-dimensional computational simulations were carried out for steady-state periodically developed air flow (Pr ~ 0.71; 50 ≤ Re ≤ 4000) with channel walls subject to constant-uniform temperature conditions. The recirculation that develops in the wall troughs and grows to have an axially helical character is scaled by the Swirl number Sw. As Sw increases with higher flowrate and/or corrugation severity, tornado-shaped vortices appear in the wave trough region midway of the interfin channel height, then extend longitudinally to encompass majority of the flow channel.more »« less
