Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Rectangular Flat Plate by an Impinging Jet in Cross Flow

Experiments were carried out to study the heat transfer performance of an impinging jet in a cross flow. Several parameters including the jet-to-cross-flow mass ratio （X=2%-8%）, the Reynolds number （Red=1434-5735） and the jet diameter （d=2-4 mm） were explored. The heat transfer enhancement factor was found to increase with the jet-to-cross-flow mass ratio and the Reynolds number, but decrease with the jet diameter when other parameters maintain fixed. The presence of a cross flow was observed to degrade the heat transfer performance in respect to the effect of impinging jet to the target surface only. In addition, an impinging jet was confirmed to be capable of en-hancing the heat transfer process in considerable amplitude even though the jet was not designed to impinge on the target surface.     

以非晶态合金催化剂SRNA-4为固相的气液固磁稳定床的界面传质研究

1 INTRODUCTION Magnetically stabilized beds (MSB) exhibit an unique combination of packed-bed and fluidized-bed properties.

甲烷/空气射流燃烧中氮氧化物生成模型的研究

With the development of reaction kinetics and transfer science, the modeling of NOx formation plays more and more important roles in the protection of environment and the design of combustion reactors; in this case, turbu-lence-chemistry model and NOx formation model are the two most important aspects. For thermal NOx mechanism, this article studied the CH4/air system and applied a set of latest NO formation rate constants published at the Leed University which replaced the original model code in FLUENT to increase its precision on prediction of NO concentration. The realizable k-ε model, Reynold Stress model and standard k-ε model were also investigated to predict the turbulent combustion reaction, which indicated that the simulation results of velocities, temperatures and concentrations of combustion productions by the standard k-ε model were in good accordance with the experimental data. With the application of the simulation results to the experimental data to fit some important kinetic parameters in the equation of O atom model and revision of the equation later, this article obtained a new NO formation rate model. It has been proved that the prediction of the developed model coincides well with the measurements.     

第三分散相液滴增强气体吸收的一维非稳态非均相传质模型

A model for one-dimensional unsteady heterogeneous mass transfer was developed based on Danckwerts’ surface renewal theory in order to describe the mass transfer enhancement of absorption process for a slightly soluble gas in a gas-liquid-liquid system. The model accounts for the mass transfer resistance within the dispersed phase and the effect of emulsion viscosity on mass transfer. An analytical solution for enhancement factor was obtained by Laplace domain transformation. The absorption rates of carbon dioxide in the dodecane-in-water and castor oil-in-water systems were measured in a thermostatic reactor, and the enhancement factors were calculated at different volume fractions of dispersed phase and stirrer speeds. The model predictions agree well with the experi-mental data.

METHODS FOR CALCULATING SHELL-SIDE CONDENSATION HEAT TRANSFER AND PRESSURE DROP OF RODBAFFLE CONDENSER

1 INTRODUCTIONGentry,Yong and Small [1-3]have described their Rodbaffle heat exchangers,whichare geometrically shell-and-tube exchangers consisting of a series of shell-side bafflesas an array of supporting rods.The supporting-rod matrix creates an unobstructedflow path and makes the flow field in the shell-side of the heat exchangerpredominantly longitudinal bringing along flow-induced tube vibration in a cross flowheat-exchanger.With neither bundle cross flow form drag nor repeated flow reversal ef-fects being present,the shell-side pressure losses in Rodbaffle heat exchangers are low.Rodbaffle heat exchangers also offer an enhanced thermal performance.Stagnant

油性微乳液的循环气升式反应器的流体力学和传质性能研究简

This study reports an experimental investigation on hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics in a 15.6x10-3 m3 external loop airlift reactor for oil-in-water micro-emulsions with oil to water volume ratio （φ） rang- ing from 3% to 7% （by volume）. For comparative purposes, experiments were also carried out with water. Increase in φ of micro-emulsion systems results in an increment in the gas holdup and a decrease in the volumetric gas-liquid oxygen transfer coefficient and liquid circulation velocity, attributed to the escalation in the viscosity of mi- cro-emulsions. The gas holdup and volumetric mass transfer coefficient for micro-emulsion systems are signifi- cantly higher than that of water system. Two correlations are developed to predict the gas holdup and oxygen trans- fer coefficient

界面传质中Rayleigh对流的格子Boltzmann模拟和实验验证(英文)

Concentration gradient induced Rayleigh convection can influence effectively interfacial mass transfer processes, but the convection phenomena are known as mesoscopic and complex. In order to investigate this phe-nomenon, a two-equation Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is proposed to simulate the velocity and the concentra-tion distributions of Rayleigh convection generated in the CO2 absorption into ethanol liquid. The simulated results on velocity distributions are experimentally verified by PIV (particle image velocimetry technique) measurements. In order to simplify the analysis, the convection in the simulation as well as in the experiment, the Rayleigh convec-tion was manipulated into a single down flow pattern. The simulated results show that the concentration contours agree qualitatively with the schlieren images in the literature. The experimental and simulated results show that the Rayleigh convection under investigation is dominated by the flow in the downward direction and impels exchange of the liquid between the interfacial vicinity and the liquid bulk promoting the renewal of interfacial liquid, and hence enhances mass transfer. The comparison between the simulated and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed LBM is a promising alternative for simulating mass transfer induced Rayleigh convection.     

Spatial Scale Effects on Rayleigh Convection and Interfacial Mass Transfer Characteristics in CO2 Absorption

Concentration gradient‐induced Rayleigh convections in the CO₂ absorption process were investigated by the hybrid Lattice‐Boltzmann/finite‐difference method (LBM‐FDM). The spatial scale effects on Rayleigh convection were studied by simulating Rayleigh convections with different liquid layers. The scale of convection increased with the liquid layer height but the average mass transfer coefficient showed the adverse tendency. The Rayleigh convection had a pronounced effect on the surface renewal. For better assessment of the renewal intensity, two statistical quantities were proposed. The transient variations of these quantities provided a good following feature with the mass transfer coefficient which confirms their accuracy and precision in characterizing the mass transfer process.     

Entransy dissipation analysis of interfacial convection enhancing gas–liquid mass transfer process based on field synergy principle

An exploration of the gas CO2 absorbed into liquid ethanol accompanied with Rayleigh convection is performed by analyzing the mass entransy dissipation; this new statistical quantity is introduced to describe the irreversibility of mass transfer potential capacity. Based on the general advection–diffusion differential equation for an unsteady mass transfer process, the variation of the included angle between the velocity vector and concentration gradient fields is investigated to reveal the underlying mechanism of interfacial convection enhancing mass transfer. Results show some identical characteristics with the qualitative analyses of the synergy effects generated by the concentration and velocity fields after interfacial convection occurring for a boundary condition of fixed surface concentration. And the equivalent mass resistance for convective mass transfer process presents the similar variation with the reciprocal of instantaneous mass transfer coefficient. Accordingly, it is reasonable to be seen that mass transfer dissipation rate could be provided to assess the convection strength and explain fundamentally how Rayleigh convection improves mass transfer performance through establishing a close relationship between the mass transfer capacity and field synergy principle from the view of mass transfer theory.
