Heat complex geometries

Characterization and influence of electrohydro dynamic secondary flows on convective flows of polar gases is lacking for most simple as well as complex flow geometries. Such investigations should lead to an understanding of flow control, manipulation of separating, and accurate computation of local heat-transfer coefficients in confined, complex geometries. The typical Reynolds number of the bulk flow does not exceed 5000.

The simulation example DRY is based directly on the above treatment, whereas ENZDYN models the case of unsteady-state diffusion, when combined with chemical reaction. Unsteady-state heat conduction can be treated in an exactly analogous manner, though for cases of complex geometry, with multiple heat sources and sinks, the reader is referred to specialist texts, such as Carslaw and Jaeger (1959).

Growth of the film is a primary concern for both reactor types, but the transport phenomena in a CVD reactor are more difficult to analyze. Knowledge of the fluid mechanics and heat and mass transfers, often for a very complex geometry, is required. In a line-of-sight PVD reactor, the transport of molecular species to the substrate can be analyzed more easily. 

The finite element method (FEM) was first developed in 1956 to numerically analyze stress problems [16] for the design of aircraft structures. Since then it has been modified to solve more general problems in solid mechanics, fluid flow, heat transfer, among others. In fact, due to its versatility, the method is being used to study coupled problems for applications with complex geometries where the solutions are highly non-linear. 

The detailed analysis of radiative heat transfer can easily become extremely complicated when transmission, reflection and complex geometries are taken into account.4 An important conclusion which may be reached is that the heat flux corresponding to the surrounding black body is the maximum radiative heat flux that may be achieved, i.e. for Fn = 1 and s = 1 ... 

With the development of high-speed personal computers, it is very convenient to use numerical techniques to solve heat transfer problems. The finite-difference method and the finite-element method are two popular and useful methods. The finite-element method is not as direct, conceptually, as the finite-difference method. It has some advantages over the finite-difference method in solving heat transfer problems, especially for problems with complex geometries. 

We stait this chapter with one-dimensional steady heat conduction in a plane wall, a cylinder, and a sphere, and develop relations for thennal resistances in these geometries. We also develop thermal resistance relations for convection and radiation conditions at the boundaries. Wc apply this concept to heat conduction problems in multilayer plane wails, cylinders, and spheres and generalize it to systems that involve heat transfer in two or three dimensions. We also discuss the thermal contact resislance and the overall heat transfer coefficient and develop relations for the critical radius of insulation for a cylinder and a sphere. Finally, we discuss steady heat transfer from finned surfaces and some complex geometries commonly encountered in practice through the use of conduction shape factors. 

Specially dc.signcd finned surfaces called heat sinks, which are commonly used in the cooling of electronic equipment, involve one-of-a-kind complex geometries, as shown in Tabic 3-6. The heat transfer performance of heat sinks is usually expressed in terms of their thermal resistances R in CAV, wliich is defined as... 

Experimental analyses show that (5.237) and (5.238) can be used for a number of convective heat and mass transfer systems, and might be sufficiently accurate even for problems involving complex geometries [60]. 

Computer modeling of convection has had mixed success. Many convection problems, particularly those involving laminar flow, can readily be solved by special computer programs. However, in situations where turbulence and complex geometries are involved, computer analysis and modeling are still under development. Mass transfer analogies can play a key role in the study of convective heat transfer processes. Two mass transfer systems, the sublimation technique and the electrochemical technique, are of particular interest because of their convenience and advantages relative to direct heat transfer measurements.
