Heat Transfer Su Yongkang School of Mechanical Engineering # 3 Internal Flow Heat Transfer KEY POINTS THIS LECTURE Energy balance for internal flow in a tube Temperature and heat transfer relations for two cases: –Constant surface heat flux –Constant surface temperature

Heat Transfer Su Yongkang School of Mechanical Engineering # 4 Basic concepts—thermal considerations 1. The mean temperature For the internal energy So For incompressible flow in a circular tube, roro and

Heat Transfer Su Yongkang School of Mechanical Engineering # 5 Basic concepts—thermal considerations 2. Newton’s law of cooling Here, the mean T plays the same role as the free stream for external flows. 3. Fully developed conditions because of heat transfer, T(r) is continuously changing with x. can fully developed conditions be reached?? For thermally fully developed Although the temperature profile T(r) changes with x, the relative shape of the profile no longer changes. Not constant!

Heat Transfer Su Yongkang School of Mechanical Engineering # 6 Basic concepts—thermal considerations In the thermally fully developed flow of a fluid with constant properties, the local convection coefficient is a constant, independent of x. For the special case of uniform surface heat flux For the case of constant surface temperature Axial T gradient Independent of radial location Depends on the radial coordinate

Heat Transfer Su Yongkang School of Mechanical Engineering # 11 Example: Consider flow in a circular tube. Within the test section length (between 1 and 2) a constant heat flux is maintained. For the following two cases, sketch the surface temperature and the fluid mean temperature as a function of distance along the test section x. In case A flow is hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed. In case B flow is not developed. Solution:
