A numerical study of convective heat transfer from a blunt plate at low Reynolds number

Numerical study of the interaction among a pair of blunt plates subject to convective drying – A conjugate approach

“…In general, the SS arrangement shows higher mass transfer coefficients compared to TD1, especially along the 1 st half of the plate length. This is, again, associated with the presence of separation bubbles, leading in reduction of heat/ mass transfer in that region, as was also observed by other researchers [12,13,15]. The mass transfer augmentation originating at the reattachment point, analogous to heat transfer augmentation observed by other researchers [21], is also clearly discernible in these figures and in agreement with the reattachment points shown in Tables 5b and 6a.…”

“…Furthermore, Hwang et al [14] conducted mass transfer measurements from a bluntfaced flat plate in a uniform flow and found that the point of minimum Sherwood number (Sh) is located at a sort distance behind the leading edge, while the maximum is within the reattachment zone. Similar results for heat transfer were discussed in the numerical study of Kazeminejad et al [15]. Yanaoka et al [16] studied numerically the influence of separation, reattachment and vortex shedding on heat transfer for laminar flow over a blunt flat plate mounted inside a channel of square cross-section.…”

Heat Transfer in Separated Flows on the Pressure Side of Turbine Blades

“…First, a CFD model with a Reynolds number equal to 10 6 and an isentropic exit Mach number of 0.875 was run to validate the pressure distribution around the blade. Excellent agreement with the experimental results was achieved, as shown in Figure 2.…”

“…These include experimental investigations of backward-facing steps as Vogel and Eaton [4] or Sparrow et al [5], where the relationship between the separation region and the heat transfer features was studied. Corresponding numerical investigations have been performed on similar configurations like the one by Kaminejad et al [6] where only laminar conditions and very low Reynolds numbers are considered. The effect of turbulence was taken into account for example by Rhee and Sung [7], where good agreement with experimental data was also found for very low Reynolds numbers.…”

Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in a Solar Flat Plate Collector using nano-Fluids

“…This work aims to explore the feasibility of transferring collected heat from a solar device to a storage tank using a zero-temperature oscillating liquid contained in a tube. In [11] Kazeminejad analyzed two-dimensional parallel flow flat plate solar collectors numerically. The temperature distribution on the absorber plate of a flat parallel flow solar collector plate was analyzed using one and two-dimensional steady-state conduction with heat generation equations.…”
