Convection Heat Transfer in Rotating Systems

Publisher Summary Because the convective heat transfer phenomena in rotating systems are intimately related to the flow characteristics, they too are quite complex and offer challenges to theoreticians as well as experimenters. Heat transfer by convection to or from bodies of revolution spinning about their axes of symmetry in an otherwise undisturbed fluid has been studied analytically and experimentally by numerous authors. This chapter summarizes results of more recent investigations. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of spinning bodies of revolution in a forced flow field are important for projectiles or re-entry missiles with spin as well as for certain other engineering problems. The fluid-mechanical phenomena of enclosed rotating disks and of parallel corotating disks are distinctly different from those of disks rotating in an infinite environment. In general, the results for convection heat transfer of a disk rotating in an infinite environment can, therefore, not be applied to shrouded or corotating disks. When a quiescent horizontal layer of fluid is heated from below, the fluid at the bottom becomes lighter than the fluid at the top and convection currents are set into motion. The chapter deals with convection in fluids that are set in motion principally by rotating bounding surfaces, but that do not have an independent axial flow. It also deals with heat transfer by convection in systems in which the fluids also have an independent axial motion superimposed on the rotating motion.
