A free-convective flow formed near a vertical heated surface is investigated in the work. Two versions of surface heating are analyzed: a regime of constant temperature over the height of the surface and stepwise heating. The results of measurements of averaged and pulsation components of local temperature fields are presented.

The results of computational investigations of a steady-state super-fluid helium (He-II) flow in a horizontal cylindrical capillary in the presence of a longitudinal heat flux and in a superfluid vortex flow regime are presented. To describe the He-II flow, the equations of the Landau two-velocity hydrodynamics and the Gorter−Mellink mutual friction theory are used. Analytical solutions of the problem are obtained. An analysis of the solutions shows that the direction of the He-II flow depends on the capillary diameter and heat flux density. The conditions of the He-II flow to a heat source have been determined.

The results of calculations of the distribution of temperatures in a spherical heater, which is intended for studying film boiling of He-II [1], and the corresponding experimental data are presented. The construction of the spherical heater is described, and the method to calculate characteristic temperatures in it for both boiling of helium II and direct contact of He-II and the heater surface is given. Based on experimentally measured dependences of temperatures and data of video recording, a comparison with the temperature values calculated by the proposed method is carried out. In analyzing heat transfer through the vapor film, relations are used that take into account the nonequilibrium state of transfer processes on interphase surfaces.

The results of an experimental investigation of the dynamics of development of heat transfer and crisis phenomena in falling wave nitrogen films during nonstationary heat release from the surface of a thin-wall heater are given. It is shown that at small values of the heat flux density in crisis regimes under the conditions of stepwise increase in loading, the breakdown of a laminar-wave liquid film occurs with the appearance of metastable regular structures with liquid jets and large-scale unwetted zones between them. Experimental data are obtained on the times of expectation of liquid boiling up, development of regular structures, and drying out of heat-releasing surface depending on the heat flux within the range of Reynolds numbers Rein = 907−1690. From the analysis of experimental data it follows that in calculating the time of expectation of liquid boiling up in the case of stepwise heat release in the investigated range of heat flux values it is necessary to taken into account the influence of the convective component of heat transfer and the development of intensive evaporation from the free surface of the wave film. The charts of transient regimes for various Reynolds numbers are constructed; they isolate the region with a basically different character of the breakdown of a film at high heat fluxes with rapid expulsion of a liquid in the form of droplets and complete drying of virtually the entire surface.

The results of experimental investigation of the dynamics of fluctuations in acoustic cavitation of water and glycerin are presented. Near the radiator surface the structures in interacting vapor-gas bubbles having the form of fractal clusters were formed. Using the method of photometric scanning of transmitted laser radiation, the dynamics of fluctuations was investigated. In the transient regime the range of the power of fluctuations changed inversely proportional to frequency. The distributions of local fluctuations differ from Gaussian ones and reveal the properties of scale invariance. The qualitative behavior of the frequency dependence of the spectral density of fluctuations on change in the power of an ultrasonic radiator was investigated. It is shown that the raise of the high-frequency boundary of the flicker behavior point to the buildup of instability and may serve as a precursor of possible large-scale overshoots.

A mathematical model of an emitting finned tube with an arbitrary number of rectangular fins and nonblack emitting surfaces is considered. Optimization of the structure has been done to obtain a maximum of the emitted heat flux and a minimum of the over-all mass of fins. It is shown that for the geometric parameters that satisfy the requirements of a maximum heat flux the requirement of a minimum mass is also met, as well as the optimal configuration of a rib at a fixed mass is preserved, which makes it possible to find the best parameters of the structure without resorting to optimization.

The main aim of this article is determination of optimum geometric conditions that help the rate of heat transfer from isothermal vertical walls to be increased. The basic shape is a vertical flat plate. In order to understand the effect of curvature on the heat transfer rate, two different conditions were considered. In both of these cases, the length of the wall is divided into three parts. The first and third parts are completely flat; in the second part, a defining curvature was induced. In the first case, the curvature has a convex shape and, in the second one, the shape is concave. To fully consider the role of curvature, in each case the computation was repeated for 10 different radii. To make a proper domain for solving the governing equations, the physical domain and related governing equations of interest are transferred to the computational domain. To discretize the equations the finite difference scheme is used. The distribution of the Nusselt number and the total heat transfer rate were computed. For covering different Prandtl numbers, air and water were selected for the ambient fluid. The results show that the rate of heat transfer is decreased with making the concave shape and will be increased by using the convex shape. This increase in the magnitude of heat transfer is continued up to θ = 16.67° (curvature degree) for air. This limitation helps us to find an optimum angle for the rate of heat transfer.
