A numerical study is carried out to analyze the steady three-dimensional turbulent flow and convective heat transfer in a staggered pin-fin array with diamond shaped elements at various geometrical configurations. Steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and energy equation are solved using a finite volume based solver. Shear stress transport (SST) model is used as turbulence closure. The computational domain is composed of one pitch of pin-fin displacement with periodic boundary conditions on the surfaces normal to the streamwise direction and the cross-streamwise direction. The numerical results for Nusselt number and friction factor are validated with experimental results. The effects of pin angle, pin height and pitch on Nusselt number, friction factor and efficiency index are investigated.

The turbulent heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid flow through rod bundles is analyzed using k-$\varepsilon$ two-equation model. For the prediction of the turbulent flow field, an anisotropic eddy viscosity model is used. In the analysis of the temperature field, the effects of various parameters such as geometry, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers are considered. The calculation in made for Prandtl numbers from 0.001 to 0.1 in order to analyze the heat transfer to low Prandtl number fluid such as liquid metals. The numerical results show that for small P/D (Pitch/Diameter) geometries low Prandtl number makes severe changes of the rod surface temperature.

The effects of radiative heat transfer are investigated in a turbulent combustion flow field with highly non-adiabatic flames. Turbulent combustion is modeled by the $k-{\varepsilon}-g$ model and a one step irreversible reaction scheme for the combustion chemistry. The radiative trasport equation is solved by the finite volume method considering the radiative transfer from $CO_2,\;H_{2}O$ and soot only. Gray gas is assumed to calculate the radiative properties of $CO_2\;and\;H_2O$. A two-equation soot formation model is applied to predict soot volume faction distribution. All equations are solved in a coupled manner and the numerical results are compared with available experimental data.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis has been performed to investigate the turbulent flow and heat transfer in a triangular rod bundle with pitch-to-diameter ratios (P/D) of 1.06 and 1.12. Anisotropic turbulence models predicted the turbulence-driven secondary flow in a triangular subchannel and the distributions of the time mean velocity and temperature, showing a significantly improved agreement with the measurements from the linear standard $k-{\epsilon}$ model. The anisotropic turbulence models predicted the turbulence structure for a rod bundle with a large P/D fairly well, but could not predict the very high turbulent intensity of the azimuthal velocity observed in the narrow flow region (gap) for a rod bundle with a small P/D.

An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of turbulent swirling flow in the cylindrical annuli. The swirl angle measurements were performed by flow visualization technique using smoke and dye liquid. By using the particle image velocimetry method. this study has found the time-mean velocity distribution and turbulent intensity with swirl for Re=20,000. 30.000. 50.000. and 70,000 along longitudinal sections. The results appear to be physically reasonable. Other experimental study was performed to investigate heat transfer characteristics of turbulent swirling air flow in axisymmetric annuli. The static pressure. the local air flow temperature, and the wall temperature with decaying swirl were measured by using thermocouples and the friction factor and the local Nusselt number were calculated for Re=30,000. 50,000 and 70000. The local Nusselt number was compared with that obtained from the Dittus-Boelter equation with swirl and without swirl, respectively. The results showed that the swirl enhances the heat transfer at the inlet and the outlet of the test tube.

Turbulent convective heat transfer phenomenon which occur around the evaporator section of heat pump were analyzed experimentally. For this purpose a special wind tunnel and a heat pump system were designed and fabricated. Evaporator section was installed perpendicular to air flow direction and part of the evaporator was made of a glass tube for visual observation. The velocity distribution, turbulent intensity and temperature distribution were measured by hot wire technique and thermocouples. An experimental correlation for the convective heat transfer coefficient was obtained and the result is somewhat higher than the value calculated from Hilpert equation. The difference in two equations is believed to be due to the boning effect inside the evaporator tube.

In present study, the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of the subchannels are investigated as measuring single-phase heat transfer coefficients and the cross sectional velocity field using LDV in the downstream of support grid in $6{\times}6$ rod bundles. Support grid with mixing vanes make enhancing heat transfer in rod bundles by generating turbulent flow. But this turbulent flow only is reserved in a short distance. Support grid with LSVF mixing vanes keep the turbulent flow a long distance. The experiments are performed at the nominal Reynolds number 30,000 and 50,000. The heat transfer coefficients are measured using heated and unheated copper sensor. In this study, the comparison of local heat transfer coefficients for LSVF mixing vane and split mixing vane is represented.

The effect of secondary flow on the heat transfer of a turbulent wake generated by a flat plate was experimentally investigated. The secondary flow was induced in a curved duct in which the flat plate wake generator was installed. All three components of turbulent heat flux were measured in the plane containing the mean radius of curvature of the curved duct. The results showed that mean temperature profiles deviate from the similarity of the straight wake because of the cold fluid transported from the free-stream. The half-width of the mean temperature profile increased rapidly by upwash motion of the secondary flow. The changes to turbulence structure caused by the secondary flow show more pronounced effect on heat transport than on momentum transport. This is because the response to the variation of flow conditions is delayed in temperature field. Negative production of the turbulent heat flux is observed in the inner wake region. From the conditional averaging, it has been found that the negative production of the turbulent heat flux is generated due to a mixing process between the hot and low momentum eddies occupied in the inner wake region and the cold and high momentum eddies in the potential region.

A computer program has been developed for analyzing the two-dimensional, unsteady conservation equations for transport phenomena in the molten region of twin-roll continuous casting in order to predict the turbulent velocity, temperature fields, and solidification process of the molten steel. The energy equation of the cooling roll is solved simultaneously with the conservation equations of molten steel in order to consider heat transfer through the cooling roll. The results show the velocity, temperature and solidification pattern in the molten region with roll temperature as a function of time. The results for velocity and temperature fields with solidification are compared with those without solidification, giving different thermofluid characteristics in the molten region. We also investigated the effects of revolutional speed of roll, superheat and nozzle geometry on the turbulent flow, temperature and solidification in the molten steel and temperature fields in the cooling roll.
