    Experimental Analysis of Radial Centrifugal Pump Shutdown

    Xiao Sun1, Jiangbo Tong1, Yuliang Zhang2,*, Haibing Cai3, Wen Zhou4, Xiaoqi Jia5, Litao Ou6

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 725-737, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.045541

    Abstract Centrifugal pumps are widely used in the metallurgy, coal, and building sectors. In order to study the hydraulic characteristics of a closed impeller centrifugal pump during its shutdown in the so-called power frequency and frequency conversion modes, experiments were carried to determine the characteristic evolution of parameters such as speed, inlet and outlet pressure, head, flow rate and shaft power. A quasi-steady-state method was also used to further investigate these transient behaviors. The results show that, compared to the power frequency input, the performance parameter curves for the frequency conversion input are less volatile and smoother. The characteristic time is… More >

    Experimental Study of the Effect of Water Salinity on the Parameters of an Equilibrium Droplet Cluster Levitating over a Water Layer

    Alexander A. Fedorets1, Eduard E. Kolmakov1, Leonid A. Dombrovsky1,2,3,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.1, pp. 1-14, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.049335

    Abstract New experimental results, which are important for the potential use of small levitating droplets as biochemical microreactors, are reported. It is shown that the combination of infrared heating and reduced evaporation of saline water under the droplet cluster is sufficient to produce equilibrium saltwater droplets over a wide temperature range. The resulting universal dependence of droplet size on temperature simplifies the choice of optimal conditions for generating stable droplet clusters with droplets of the desired size. A physical analysis of the experimental results on the equilibrium size of saltwater droplets makes it possible to separate the effects related to the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Karim Choubani1,2,*, Ons Ghriss3, Nashmi H. Alrasheedi1, Sirin Dhaoui2, Abdallah Bouabidi2

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.1, pp. 341-358, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.047016

    Abstract Faced with the world’s environmental and energy-related challenges, researchers are turning to innovative, sustainable and intelligent solutions to produce, store, and distribute energy. This work explores the trend of using a smart sensor to monitor the stability and efficiency of a salt-gradient solar pond. Several studies have been conducted to improve the thermal efficiency of salt-gradient solar ponds by introducing other materials. This study investigates the thermal and salinity behaviors of a pilot of smart salt-gradient solar ponds with (SGSP) and without (SGSPP) paraffin wax (PW) as a phase-change material (PCM). Temperature and salinity were measured experimentally using a smart… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.1, pp. 107-127, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.044433

    Abstract Efficient and secure refueling within the vehicle refueling systems exhibits a close correlation with the issues concerning fuel backflow and gasoline evaporation. This paper investigates the transient flow behavior in fuel hose refilling and simplified tank fuel replenishment using the volume of fluid method. The numerical simulation is validated with the simplified hose refilling experiment and the evaporation simulation of Stefan tube. The effects of injection flow rate and injection directions have been discussed in the fuel hose refilling part. For both the experiment and simulation, the pressure at the end of the refueling pipe in the lower located nozzle… More >

    EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ENHANCED NUCLEATE BOILING HEAT TRANSFER ON UNIFORM AND MODULATED POROUS STRUCTURES

    Calvin Hong Lia, G. P. Petersonb,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.1, No.2, pp. 1-10, 2010, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v1.2.3007

    Abstract An experimental investigation of the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of two-phase heat transfer of de-Ionized (DI) water, pool boiling was conducted using several kinds of sintered copper microparticle porous uniform and modulated structures. The modulated porous structure reached a heat flux of 450 W/cm2 and a heat transfer coefficient of 230,000 W/m2K. The thick and thin uniform porous structures achieved CHFs of 290 W/cm2 and 227 W/cm2 , respectively, and heat transfer coefficients of 118,000 W/m2K and 104,000 W/m2K. The mechanisms for the dramatically improved CHFs and HTCs were identified with assistance of a visualization… More >

    A CORRELATION FOR NUSSELT NUMBER UNDER TURBULENT MIXED CONVECTION USING TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS

    N. Gnanasekaran, C. Balaji*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 1-6, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.2.3008

    Abstract This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of transient, turbulent mixed convection in a vertical channel in which one of the walls is heated and the other is adiabatic. The goal is to simultaneously estimate the constants in a Nusselt number correlation whose form is assumed a priori by synergistically marrying the experimental results with repeated numerical calculations that assume guess values of the constants. The convective heat transfer coefficient “h”is replaced by the Nusselt number (Nu) and the constants in the Nusselt number are to be evaluated. From the experimentally obtained temperature time history and the simulated… More >

    CHAOTIC NATURAL CONVECTION IN AN ANNULAR CAVITY WITH NON-ISOTHERMAL WALLS

    H.E. Dillon, A.F. Emery, A.M. Mescher, O. Sprenger, S.R. Edwards

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 1-14, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.2.3002

    Abstract The stability of free convection in an annulus is governed by the boundary conditions on the inner and outer walls of the annulus and the upper and lower boundaries. This paper explores the effect of free convection on the inner surface of the annulus, where the boundary conditions for the outer wall and the upper and lower boundaries are controlled. The temperature is measured in the center of the air cavity and just below the surface of the inner annular boundary. Experimental results are shown for a radius ratio of 0.40, aspect ratio of 20.7. These more recent experimental results… More >

    CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER FROM A FLAT PLATE WITH SHOWER HEAD IMPINGING JETS

    Rajesh Kumar Panda, B.V.S.S.S. Prasad*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.1, pp. 1-10, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.1.3008

    Abstract Conjugate heat transfer from a flat circular disk is investigated both computationally and experimentally with a constant heat flux imposed on its bottom surface and a shower head of air jets impinging on the top surface. The shower head consists of a central jet surrounded by four neighboring perimeter jets. Measured temperature data at twelve locations within the plate are compared with the conjugate heat transfer result obtained at the same locations computationally by Shear Stress Transport (SST) κ-ω turbulence model. The spacing to orifice diameter ratio (H/d = 1 to 4), the jet Reynolds number (7115 to 10674) and… More >

    Bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation of cystathionine-gamma-lyase as a potential prognosis biomarker in hepatocellular carcinoma

    YANAN MA1, SHANSHAN WANG2,*, HUIGUO DING1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 463-471, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.048244

    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality worldwide. Although cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) plays an important role in the development of multiple tumors, the clinical implication and potential mechanisms of CSE in HCC development remain elusive. Methods: In our study, the CSE expression in HCC was analyzed in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets and further confirmed by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry assays in HCC samples. Furthermore, the associations between CSE expression and HCC malignancy as well as survival were analyzed in GSE14520 and validated in HCC patients. Finally, the… More >
