Abstract
In an effort to study the effect of acoustic vibration on forced convective heat transfer, sound at resonant frequencies of 198, 256, and 322 c./sec., as well as sound at nonresonant frequencies, was imposed on air flowing at Reynolds numbers of 560 to 5,900 in the core of a horizontal, double pipe, steam to air, heat exchanger. Increases in Nusselt number of up to 51% in the nominally laminar region and up to 27% in the nominally turbulent region were obtained. The improvement peaked sharply at resonance and increased with both amplitude and resonant frequency. A qualitative dual mechanism is suggested, and correlations for the experimental results are presented.

## Abstract A numerical analysis based on adjoint formulation of unsteady forced convection heat transfer is proposed to generally evaluate effects of the thermal boundary condition on the heat transfer characteristics. A numerical solution of the adjoint problem enables us to predict the heat tran
In this paper we numerically study the influence of particles suspended in flows on heat transfer enhancement. We consider two flat horizontal parallel plates kept at the same temperature, where hot air with particles flows in between. High-conductive and low-conductive particles are assumed to acco
Two methods for assessing thermal performance were evaluated for four kinds of forced convective heat transfer augmentations. On method uses the first law of thermodynamics, i.e., the heat transfer improvement at (1) constant Reynolds number, (2) constant pressure loss, and (3) constant pumping powe
