Abstract:
This paper presents a study of heat transfer to turbulent air flow in the abrupt axisymmetric expansion of an annular pipe. The experimental investigations were performed in the Reynolds number range from 5000 to 30000, the heat flux varied from 1000 to 4000 W/m2, and the expansion ratio was maintained at D/d=1, 1.25, 1.67 and 2. The sudden expansion was created by changing the inner diameter of the entrance pipe to an annular passage. The outer diameter of the inner pipe and the inner diameter of the outer pipe are 2.5 and 10 cm, respectively, where both of the pipes are subjected to uniform heat flux. The distribution of the surface temperature of the test pipe and the local Nusselt number are presented in this investigation. Due to sudden expansion in the cross section of the annular pipe, a separation flow was created, which enhanced the heat transfer. The reduction of the surface temperature on the outer and inner pipes increased with the increase of the expansion ratio and the Reynolds number, and increased with the decrease of the heat flux to the annular pipe. The peak of the local Nusselt number was between 1.64 and 1.7 of the outer and inner pipes for Reynolds numbers varied from 5000 to 30000, and the increase of the local Nusselt number represented the augmentation of the heat transfer rate in the sudden expansion of the annular pipe. This research also showed a maximum heat transfer enhancement of 63-78% for the outer and inner pipes at an expansion ratio of D/d=2 at a Re=30000 and a heat flux of 4000W/m2.

Abstract:
The present study aims to investigate major pressure losses in pipes and minor losses in certain pipe fittings, such as sudden expansion. Initially, the relationships for calculating major and minor losses were derived by applying Bernoulli's equation to the studied components. Flow velocity, pipe diameter, and pipe length effects on major losses were examined. Additionally, the impact of velocity on minor losses in sudden expansion was analysed. The results demonstrated that major losses, represented by friction, significantly vary with changes in flow velocity, pipe diameter, and pipe length. It was found that increasing the pipe diameter by 200% leads to a 6% reduction in major losses. Moreover, increasing the length and velocity results in proportional increases in major losses. Regarding minor losses, the findings indicated that these losses in sudden expansion increase by a factor of six with the increase in velocity.

Abstract:
Axisymmetric flow is of both fundamental interest and practical significance. A recently derived axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model [J. G. Zhou, Phys. Rev. E78, 036701 (2008)] is adopted for studying several typical axisymmetric flows. First, the Hagen–Poiseuille flow in circular pipes is validated and the Poiseuille flow in annular cylinders is studied under different values of the radius ratio. Second, pulsatile flow in an axisymmetric pipe with a sinusoidal pressure gradient is conducted. Third, flows through pipes with various constrictions or expansions are discussed. Finally, we extend the axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann method for non-Newtonian flow. It is found that the obtained numerical results agree well with available analytical solutions. It is also observed that constriction or expansion in a pipe influences the velocity distribution of the flow significantly. In addition, the results demonstrate that the modified axisymmetric lattice Boltzmann model is capable of handling non-Newtonian flow.

Abstract:
This paper describes an experimental investigation of the water flows through one axisymmetric and two asymmetric round sudden expansions from a 48 mm to an 84 mm diameter pipe and eccentricities of the pipe axes of 0, 5 and 15 mm respectively. Flow visualization revealed the presence of vortex rings downstream of the plane of expansion for transitional Reynolds numbers (Re, based on the upstream pipe diameter and bulk flow velocity) and reattachment lengths were determined in the Reynolds number range 120–40 000 for all three cases. Detailed measurements of the three mean velocity components and corresponding fluctuations were obtained by laser anemometry for Re = 40000. Wall static pressure measurements are also presented. The results show that asymmetry of the inlet geometry strongly influences the distribution of mean and turbulence quantities downstream of the expansion and results in three-dimensional reattachment. In all three flows, the mean flow was nearly uniform and the turbulence nearly homogeneous at distances of seven diameters of the large pipe downstream of the expansion. Higher levels of turbulence were found in the asymmetric ducts with maxima twice those in the axisymmetric duct.

Abstract:
The influence of inserting ceramic foam in a pipe with a 1:4 sudden expansion was numerical investigated. The foam, with a thickness to diameter ratio of 0.60, was positioned at different distances from the sudden pipe expansion wall. Three different porosities were analyzed (10, 20 and 60 pores per inch) for pore Reynolds numbers in the range of 20-400, corresponding to pipe Reynolds numbers of 2400 to 22000 in the pipe section upstream the sudden expansion. Predictions of the sudden pipe expansion cavity assuming laminar flow within the foam yield the penetration of the separated flow region into the foam. Considering turbulent flow in the porous foam and the model of Pedras and Lemos [14] prevents this penetration. The numerical and physical models used could not reproduce completely the foam influence on the separated turbulent flow region between the sudden pipe expansion and the foam inlet.

Abstract:
Flow and heat transfer characteristics of impinging jet from expansion pipe were experimentally and numerically investigated. The expansion pipe nozzle was drilled on expansion wall for increasing an entrainment of ambient air into a jet flow. The diameter of round pipe nozzle was d=17.2 mm and the diameter of expansion pipe was fixed at D=68.8 mm (=4d). The number of air entrainment holes was varied at 4, 6 and 8 holes, and the expansion pipe length was examined at L= 2d, 4d and 6d. In this study, the expansion pipe exit-to-plate distance was fixed at H=2d and the Reynolds number of jet was studied at Re=20,000. Temperature distribution on the impinged surface was acquired by using an infrared camera. The numerical simulation was carried out to reveal the flow field. The results show that the ambient air enters through the holes and subsequently blocked the entrainment of ambient air into the jet flow. It causes to enhance the heat transfer particularly at stagnation point higher than the case of conventional pipe: 4.68% for 4 holes at L=2d, 6.4% and 6.28% for 4 holes and without holes at L=4d and 5.48% for 8 holes at L=6d.

Abstract:
In this paper, the analysis on secondary flow in curved elliptic pipes of Topakoglu & Ebadian (1985) has been extended up to a point where the rate-of-flow expression is obtained for any value of flatness ratio of the elliptic cross-section. The analysis is based on the double expansion method of Topakoglu (1967). Therefore, no approximation is involved in any step other than the natural limitation of the finite number of calculated terms of the expansions. The obtained results are systematically plotted against the curvature of centreline of the curved pipe for different values of Reynolds number.

Abstract:
Creeping flow through a sudden contraction/expansion in an axisymmetric pipe is studied. Sampson’s solution for flow through a circular orifice in an infinite wall is used to derive an approximation for the excess pressure drop due to a sudden contraction/expansion in a pipe with a finite expansion ratio. The accuracy of this approximation obtained is verified by comparing its results to finite-element simulations and other previous numerical studies. The result can also be extended to a thin annular obstacle in a circular pipe. The “equivalent length” corresponding to the excess pressure drop is found to be barely half the radius of the smaller tube.

Abstract:
A modified low-Reynolds-number k-ε turbulence model is developed in this work. The performance of the proposed model is assessed through testing with fully developed pipe flows and recirculating flow in pipe expansion. Attention is specifically focused on the flow region around the reattachment point. It is shown that the proposed model is capable of correctly predicting the near-wall limiting flow behavior while avoiding occurrence of the singular difficulty near the reattachment point as applying to the recirculating flow in sudden-expansion pipe.

Abstract:
The heat transfer downstream of an axisymmetric abrupt expansion in a pipe in the transition Reynolds number regime has been investigated experimentally. In these experiments the wall of the downstream pipe was heated to give a constant heat flux into the air flow. The ratio of the upstream to downstream pipe diameters was 0.8 and the downstream Reynolds number ranged from 1420 to 8060. Within a narrow range of Reynolds numbers, around 5000, the position of the maximum Nusselt number was found to shift considerably. This interesting behavior may be associated with the flow instabilities in sudden expansions which have been observed by others.
