CAREER: Investigation of Heat Transfer Phenomena in Thermal Processing of Non-Newtonian Polymeric Surfactant Emulsions

本文的研究将有助于理解非牛顿流体（包括食品、制药、石化、纸浆和造纸、化学加工和生物医药行业中的大多数流体）对管道流动和池沸腾中对流传热的影响。实验工作将通过扩展表面热交换器常见的几何形状流动的数值研究加以补充。这项工作可能会影响上述行业中使用的换热设备的未来设计。教育计划将通过引入工业热交换工程与设计的高级选修课程以及在本科传热与流体力学实验室开发新的实验，将研究项目直接带入课堂。这些课程将涉及现代测量方法，如液晶热成像、LDV和现代流量测量技术，以及在现代应用中演示传热测量的实验，如板翅式换热器、热回收系统和微电子冷却。

ABSTRACT Manglik U/ Cincinnati CTS-9502128 The research in this proposal will aid in understanding the effect of non-Newtonian fluids (which includes most fluids in the food, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, chemical processing and biomedical industries) on heat transfer due to convection in duct flow and in pool boiling. The experimental work will be complemented by a numerical study of flow through geometries of the type common to extended surface heat exchangers. This work could affect the future design of heat exchange equipment used in the industries mentioned above. The educational plan will bring the research program directly into the classroom through introduction of a senior elective course in Industrial Heat Exchange Engineering and Design and the development of new experiments in the undergraduate heat transfer and fluid mechanics laboratory. These will involve modern measurement methods such as liquid crystal thermography, LDV, and contemporary flow measurement techniques, as well as experiments that demonstrate heat transfer measurements in contemporary applications such as plate-fin exchangers, heat recovery systems, and micro-electronic cooling.
