  • Heat Transfer in Flat-Plate Solar Air-Heating Collectors
    Advanced Computational Methods in Heat Transfer VI, C.A. Brebbia & B. Sunden (Editors) © 2000 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISBN 1-85312-818-X Heat transfer in flat-plate solar air-heating collectors Y. Nassar & E. Sergievsky Abstract All energy systems involve processes of heat transfer. Solar energy is obviously a field where heat transfer plays crucial role. Solar collector represents a heat exchanger, in which receive solar radiation, transform it to heat and transfer this heat to the working fluid in the collector's channel The radiation and convection heat transfer processes inside the collectors depend on the temperatures of the collector components and on the hydrodynamic characteristics of the working fluid. Economically, solar energy systems are at best marginal in most cases. In order to realize the potential of solar energy, a combination of better design and performance and of environmental considerations would be necessary. This paper describes the thermal behavior of several types of flat-plate solar air-heating collectors. 1 Introduction Nowadays the problem of utilization of solar energy is very important. By economic estimations, for the regions of annual incident solar radiation not less than 4300 MJ/m^ pear a year (i.e. lower 60 latitude), it will be possible to cover - by using an effective flat-plate solar collector- up to 25% energy demand in hot water supply systems and up to 75% in space heating systems. Solar collector is the main element of any thermal solar system. Besides of large number of scientific publications, on the problem of solar energy utilization, for today there is no common satisfactory technique to evaluate the thermal behaviors of solar systems, especially the local characteristics of the solar collector.

  • Heat Transfer (Heat and Thermodynamics)
    Heat Transfer (Heat and Thermodynamics) Wasif Zia, Sohaib Shamim and Muhammad Sabieh Anwar LUMS School of Science and Engineering August 7, 2011 If you put one end of a spoon on the stove and wait for a while, your nger tips start feeling the burn. So how do you explain this simple observation in terms of physics? Heat is generally considered to be thermal energy in transit, owing between two objects that are kept at di erent temperatures. Thermodynamics is mainly con- cerned with objects in a state of equilibrium, while the subject of heat transfer probes matter in a state of disequilibrium. Heat transfer is a beautiful and astound- ingly rich subject. For example, heat transfer is inextricably linked with atomic and molecular vibrations; marrying thermal physics with solid state physics|the study of the structure of matter. We all know that owing matter (such as air) in contact with a heated object can help `carry the heat away'. The motion of the uid, its turbulence, the ow pattern and the shape, size and surface of the object can have a pronounced e ect on how heat is transferred. These heat ow mechanisms are also an essential part of our ventilation and air conditioning mechanisms, adding comfort to our lives. Importantly, without heat exchange in power plants it is impossible to think of any power generation, without heat transfer the internal combustion engine could not drive our automobiles and without it, we would not be able to use our computer for long and do lengthy experiments (like this one!), without overheating and frying our electronics.

CFD has been widely used to simulate the flow pattern and temperature distribution during the thermal processing of foods. This paper discusses the background of the thermal processing of food, and the fundamentals in developing CFD models. The constitution of simulation models is provided to enable the design of effective and efficient CFD modeling. An overview of the current CFD modeling studies of thermal processing in solid, liquid, and liquid-solid mixtures is also provided. Some limitations and unrealistic assumptions faced by CFD modelers are also discussed. Keywords: computational fluid dynamics; CFD; thermal processing; sterilization; computer simulation 1. Introduction In the food industry, thermal processing, including sterilization and pasteurization, is defined as the process by which there is the application of heat to a food product in a container, in an effort to guarantee food safety, and extend the shelf-life of processed foods [1]. Thermal processing is the most widely used preservation technology to safely produce long shelf-lives in many kinds of food, such as fruits, vegetables, milk, fish, meat and poultry, which would otherwise be quite perishable.

Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are employed for transferring and utilizing the solar heat collected via solar thermal energy collectors. Solar thermal collectors are commonly categorized into low temperature collectors, medium temperature collectors and high temperature collectors. Low temperature solar collectors use phase changing refrigerants and water as heat transfer fluids. Degrading water quality in certain geographic locations and high freezing point is hampering its suitability and hence use of water-glycol mixtures as well as water-based nano fluids are gaining momentum in low temperature solar collector applications. Hydrocarbons like propane, pentane and butane are also used as refrigerants in many cases. HTFs used in medium temperature solar collectors include water, water- glycol mixtures – the emerging “green glycol” i.e., trimethylene glycol and also a whole range of naturally occurring hydrocarbon oils in various compositions such as aromatic oils, naphthenic oils and paraffinic oils in their increasing order of operating temperatures.

  • Forced Convection Heat Transfer Convection Is the Mechanism of Heat Transfer Through a Fluid in the Presence of Bulk Fluid Motion
    Forced Convection Heat Transfer Convection is the mechanism of heat transfer through a fluid in the presence of bulk fluid motion. Convection is classified as natural (or free) and forced convection depending on how the fluid motion is initiated. In natural convection, any fluid motion is caused by natural means such as the buoyancy effect, i.e. the rise of warmer fluid and fall the cooler fluid. Whereas in forced convection, the fluid is forced to flow over a surface or in a tube by external means such as a pump or fan. Mechanism of Forced Convection Convection heat transfer is complicated since it involves fluid motion as well as heat conduction. The fluid motion enhances heat transfer (the higher the velocity the higher the heat transfer rate). The rate of convection heat transfer is expressed by Newton’s law of cooling: q hT T W / m 2 conv s Qconv hATs T W The convective heat transfer coefficient h strongly depends on the fluid properties and roughness of the solid surface, and the type of the fluid flow (laminar or turbulent). V∞ V∞ T∞ Zero velocity Qconv at the surface. Qcond Solid hot surface, Ts Fig. 1: Forced convection. It is assumed that the velocity of the fluid is zero at the wall, this assumption is called no‐ slip condition. As a result, the heat transfer from the solid surface to the fluid layer adjacent to the surface is by pure conduction, since the fluid is motionless. Thus, M.
