In this paper, the thermal performance of corrugated surfaces cooled with a piezoelectric fan was studied. A total 25 different wave shapes have been tested under Re and gap heights ( G). The results showed that only surface A/ W PF 0.167 T/ 0.533 produces highest Nu area values for all conditions, which is approximately 50% higher than flat surface. It confirmed shape not conducive to promoting development vortex structure but also beneficial increase effective heat transfer so overall...
Two sets of supplementary experiments have been performed to be able predict the convective diffusion heat/mass transfer rates a cylindrical target whose height and diameter are comparable to, but less than, circular cross-stream jet, thereby simulating same geometric configuration as typical burner rig test specimen located in cross stream combustor exit nozzle. The first set exploits naphthalene sublimation technique determine coefficient under isothermal conditions for various flow...
One of the main factors affecting heat transfer efficiency solar collector is that ordinary fluid in it state natural convection.
