The volume of the domain and the coolant are fixed. The actively cooled domain is mimicked from the human skin (which regulates temperature with microvascular blood vessels). The effect of the shape of cooling channels (sinusoidal or straight) and their locations in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface on the peak and average temperatures are studied. In addition, the effect of pressure difference in between the inlet and outlet is varied. The pressure drop in the sinusoidal channel configurations is greater than the straight channel configurations for a fixed cooling channel volume. The peak and average temperatures are the smallest with straight cooling channels located at y = 0.7 mm. Furthermore, how the cooling channel configuration should change when the heat is generated throughout the volume is studied. The peak and average temperatures are smaller with straight channels than the sinusoidal ones when the pressure drop is less than 420 Pa, and they become smaller with sinusoidal channel configurations when the pressure drop is greater than 420 Pa. In addition, the peak and average temperatures are the smallest with sinusoidal channels for a fixed flow rate. Furthermore, the peak temperatures for multiple cooling channels is documented, and the multiple channel configurations promise to the smallest peak temperature for a fixed pressure drop value.

The volume of the domain and the coolant are fixed. The actively cooled domain is mimicked from the human skin (which regulates temperature with microvascular blood vessels). The effect of the shape of cooling channels (sinusoidal or straight) and their locations in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface on the peak and average temperatures are studied. In addition, the effect of pressure difference in between the inlet and outlet is varied. The pressure drop in the sinusoidal channel configurations is greater than the straight channel configurations for a fixed cooling channel volume. The peak and average temperatures are the smallest with straight cooling channels located at y = 0.7 mm. Furthermore, how the cooling channel configuration should change when the heat is generated throughout the volume is studied. The peak and average temperatures are smaller with straight channels than the sinusoidal ones when the pressure drop is less than 420 Pa, and they become smaller with sinusoidal channel configurations when the pressure drop is greater than 420 Pa. In addition, the peak and average temperatures are the smallest with sinusoidal channels for a fixed flow rate. Furthermore, the peak temperatures for multiple cooling channels is documented, and the multiple channel configurations promise to the smallest peak temperature for a fixed pressure drop value.

In order to determine the heat transfer in a packed bed, the effective thermal conductivity including both stagnant and dispersion thermal conductivities should be known. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been performed on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to review the experimental studies done on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of the packed beds. In this study, firstly brief information on the definition of the thermal dispersion is presented and then the reported experimental studies on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are summarized and compared. The reported experimental methods are classified into three groups: (1) heat addition/removal at the lateral boundaries, (2) heat addition at the inlet/outlet boundary, (3) heat addition inside the bed. For each performed study, the experimental details, methods, obtained results, and suggested correlations for the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are presented. The similarities and differences between experimental methods and reported studies are shown by tables.

In order to determine the heat transfer in a packed bed, the effective thermal conductivity including both stagnant and dispersion thermal conductivities should be known. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been performed on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to review the experimental studies done on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of the packed beds. In this study, firstly brief information on the definition of the thermal dispersion is presented and then the reported experimental studies on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are summarized and compared. The reported experimental methods are classified into three groups: (1) heat addition/removal at the lateral boundaries, (2) heat addition at the inlet/outlet boundary, (3) heat addition inside the bed. For each performed study, the experimental details, methods, obtained results, and suggested correlations for the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are presented. The similarities and differences between experimental methods and reported studies are shown by tables. Comparison of the correlations for the effective thermal conductivity is made by using figures and the results of the studies are discussed. |
