Enhancement of heat transfer in a square channel by roughened surfaces in rib-elements and turbulent flow manipulation
(2017) In International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow 27(7). p.1571-1595- Abstract
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to augment heat transfer rates of traditional rib-elements with minimal pressure drop penalties. Design/methodology/approach - The novel geometries in the present research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. All turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer results are presented using computation fluid dynamics with a validated v2f turbulence closure model. Turbulent flow characteristics and heat transfer performances in square channels with improved ribbed structures are numerically analyzed in this research work. Findings - Based on the results, it is found that rounded transition cylindrical ribs have a large... (More)
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to augment heat transfer rates of traditional rib-elements with minimal pressure drop penalties. Design/methodology/approach - The novel geometries in the present research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. All turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer results are presented using computation fluid dynamics with a validated v2f turbulence closure model. Turbulent flow characteristics and heat transfer performances in square channels with improved ribbed structures are numerically analyzed in this research work. Findings - Based on the results, it is found that rounded transition cylindrical ribs have a large advantage over the conventional ribs in both enhancing heat transfer and reducing pressure loss penalty. In addition, cylindrical ribs increase the flow impingement at the upstream of the ribs, which will effectively increase the high heat transfer areas. The design of rounded transition cylindrical ribs and grooves will be an effective way to improve heat transfer enhancement and overall thermal performance of internal channels within blade cooling. Originality/value - The novel geometries in this research are conventional cylindrical ribs with rounded transitions to the adjacent flat surfaces and with modifications at their bases. The combination of cylindrical ribs and grooves tomanipulate the turbulent flow.
