Abstract

Heat transfer processes in oscillatory flow conditions remain a fascinating zone of learning round the globe for investigators. While steady flows have been extensively explored over the past two centuries and are now integral part of engineering curricula, however, oscillatory flow conditions are still puzzle and conundrum. To this end, their significance is well recognized in applications such as Stirling machines, thermoacoustic engines, and cryogenic refrigerators or pulsed-tube coolers. Oscillatory flow baffled reactors are successful examples of heat process growth in chemical engineering, Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. They have been publicized to provide upgraded performance in a numeral of process operations, comprising adsorption, polymerization, crystallization, and reaction among others. The continuous oscillatory baffled reactor (OBR) is a particular type of tubular reactor, which has drawn increasing attention over the past few decades due to the benefits it provides in terms of intensification of heat and mass transfer, as well as equipment compactness compared with stirred tank reactors. This process enhancement is principally due to the interaction of the oscillatory flow with internal baffles and the consequent generation of transverse flows and eddies. Continuous OBRs are already applied in several industrial sectors.. The current research is aimed at the analytical investigation of the performance and effects of heat transfer processes in oscillatory flows. The study uses literature review to develop a theoretical framework that is validated through the secondary analysis of data to come up with new insights. The findings suggest that oscillatory flows are accelerated by heat transfer processes, which in turn speeds up the transfer of heat from the point of high concentration to the point of low concentration.

Problem Formulation

We know that,

The Reynolds number is calculated from the equations;

irispublishers-openaccess-biostatistics-biometric-applications

In this equation, f represents the oscillatory frequency; xo stands for the highest level of oscillation and Dt represents the tube diameter while v is the velocity of the cooling fluid used in the oscillatory heat pipe. The Strophe number equation is used as the definitive measure of the outcomes of the oscillatory amplitude, which means that its value is inversely proportional to it.

irispublishers-openaccess-biostatistics-biometric-applications

The above equations (5) and (6) are used to measure the overall effectiveness of the oscillatory heat pipe and to determine the net flow of particles within the convection current, which represents heat transfer across the system. Mixing of fluids in the baffle region depends on the processes by which vortices form, their enlargement, and how they interact with each other, a feature that enables heat interchange between the walls of the tube and the rest of the fluid. Oscillatory flow employing the batch principle achieves high levels of heat transfer with significantly greater energy efficiency than turbulent pipes and stirred tanks. A heat transfer coefficient varies with the force of oscillation, with the amount of heat for which oscillation is expected to transport being directly proportional to the energy levels achievable. It can, therefore, be derived those oscillatory flows are more intense in areas where the temperatures of the high-temperature system are higher and less potent in zones of cooler temperatures.

Mathematical Modeling

Consider the flow of a thin film of fluid in inclined two plates. The thickness δ of the fluid is uniform. There is an external homogeneous magnetic field B applied to the plates. In problem, y-axis is perpendicular to the plates and x-axis is taken parallel to the surface and y-axis. Assume that the pressure is atmospheric and flow is lamina and unsteady. Then the velocity field is,

Conclusion

Oscillatory flows occur as a result of movement of fluid from one zone to another, where it encounters another fluid with different physical properties. Interactions between the fluids lead to an exchange of these physical properties, and the reversal of flow as the tangible property ultimately spreads along the whole section of the material. In oscillatory heat plates, the physical feature is heat. As the fluid travels through, the heat is transferred to other sections. Applications of oscillatory heat plates depend on this property of continual flow as long as heat levels remain different to facilitate an automatic cooling system. The comparison of OHAM and ADM has been inferred graphically and numerically. The impacts of physical parameters have been portrayed and examined. The findings suggest that oscillatory flows are accelerated by heat transfer processes, which in turn speeds up the transfer of heat from the point of high concentration to the point of low concentration.
