Experimental and semi-analytical investigation of heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling by considering surface structuring methods Exp. Heat Transf. (IF 2.543) Pub Date : 2020-04-06 Hesam Moghadasi, Hamid Saffari, Navid Malekian
Pool boiling is the process in which the heating surface is submerged in a large body of stagnant liquid. In the present work, heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling is modeled both experimentally and semi-analytically with the consideration of surface structuring methods including wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) and etching. The developed models consider variations of nucleation site density

Soret separation of species in a salt solution under varying transient thermal field: an interferometric study through sensitivity analysis Exp. Heat Transf. (IF 2.543) Pub Date : 2020-03-27 Yogesh M. Nimdeo, Atul Srivastava
ABSTRACT A dual-wavelength Mach–Zehnder interferometer technique is used for the investigation of thermodiffusion through 5 mass% NaCl solution at temperature differences of 3°C, 5°C, and 8°C applied across the cavity. Initially, the values of thermal diffusivity and thermodiffusion coefficients are measured from the highly sensitive data of temperature and concentration distribution through sensitivity

Study on the thermal conductivity model of sodium sulfate soils Exp. Heat Transf. (IF 2.543) Pub Date : 2020-03-26 Xusheng Wan, Changmao Zhong, Hazem Samih Mohamed, Enxi Qiu, Mengfei Qu, Franck Joel Nkiegaing
ABSTRACT Saline soils is porous medium whose thermal conductivity is affected by components and particle shape. However, the particle shapes in geomaterials are various, and the component and its content are in dynamic change as the soil varies between unfrozen and frozen state. In this study, based on the theory of multi-phase medium mixed geothermal conductivity, a new model is developed to explore

Experimental investigation on heating performance of a counter-flow vortex tube Exp. Heat Transf. (IF 2.543) Pub Date : 2020-03-26 Fachun Liang, Huazhong Wang, Jia Meng
Previous researches mainly focused on the cooling performance of the vortex tube. Here, the heating performance indicators such as hot temperature difference, heating rate per unit air, and coefficient of performance are investigated experimentally. The results show that the maximum heating separation is obtained when the cold mass fraction is in the range of 0.45–0.7. The influence of inlet pressure

ABSTRACT Flow boiling experiments were conducted in a staggered array micro pin fin channel heat sink with deionized water for two-phase pressure drop and boiling heat transfer at constant heat flux. Micro pin fin is a diameter of 400 μm, height of 700 μm and spacing of 300 μm on copper heat sink. From the experimental results, at a vapor quality up to 0.043, the boiling heat transfer found to decrease

Experimental assessment of heat exchangers with nested helical coils for an absorption heat transformer Exp. Heat Transf. (IF 2.543) Pub Date : 2020-02-11 Noé Demesa, José Alfredo Hernández, David Juárez, Armando Huicochea
ABSTRACT The studies of nested helical coil heat exchangers for an absorption heat transformer are very limited, although this arrangement has a greater heat transfer area in a smaller volume. The heat exchangers are vertically placed to develop the desorption, condensation, evaporation and absorption processes by falling film mode. The usage of energy from point of qualitative view in these times
