In order to prevent payload module from overheating or to be burnt up by large aerodynamic heating, a Thermal Protection System (TPS) with high performance is necessary to maintain normal work during flights. Actively cooled thermal protection systems become more and more popular with their advantages in flexible design, high cooling capability and reutilization. In the present research, an actively cooled thermal protection system with Corrugated Sandwich Structures is designed for use in hypersonic aircrafts. The heat transfer and fluid flow of typical corrugated sandwich structures of actively cooled thermal protection and bearing capability are analyzed and compared. The coupled thermomechanical analysis of the corrugated sandwich structures is performed in terms of the stress and displacement fields under different conditions. The investigation provides a powerful reference for further optimization design of thermal protection systems of hypersonic aircrafts. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Assessment on heat transfer deterioration to supercritical carbon dioxide in upward flows via large eddy simulation

Jingzhe Xie, Gongnan Xie

Summary: The present study reproduces the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of supercritical carbon dioxide flow in heated circular tubes using large eddy simulation (LES). The simulation captures heat transfer deterioration and recovery, and shows excellent agreement with DNS data. Buoyancy effect, mean flow characteristics, and turbulence statistics are analyzed for different conditions. LES is found to be a reliable and feasible means to explore supercritical heat transfer, considering the significant cost of DNS in terms of computing resources and time consumption.

Investigation on Film Cooling Performance of a Novel Hole Arrangement Based on Combined-Hole Design

Rui Zhu, Huaitao Zhu, Gongnan Xie

Summary: Based on a combined-hole design, a new hole arrangement was proposed and tested on a flat plate model by numerical simulation. The new hole arrangement, which replaces one row of staggered holes with a row of smaller holes, enhances the film cooling performance by weakening the interaction between vortex pairs. Compared to the original hole arrangement, the new arrangement reduces the coolant mass flowrate by 25% and maintains similar or even higher film cooling effectiveness at different blowing ratios. However, at a blowing ratio of 1.5, the film cooling performance of the new arrangement is not as good as the original one due to weakened coolant accumulation and reattachment phenomenon.

Enhanced film cooling and flow disturbance of an AGTB turbine cascade with plasma aerodynamic actuation at film-holes outlets

Jie Sun, Gongnan Xie, Jin Wang, Bengt Sunden

Summary: Numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effects of plasma actuators on film cooling enhancement and flow characteristics around film holes. The results showed that opening the plasma actuators reduced the backflow region and the intensity and scale of vortices. The applied voltage affected the flow attachment location and the height of the coolant air, and the plasma injection increased the turbulent kinetic energy near the wall. The film cooling effectiveness increased significantly on the pressure side and had minimal effect on the suction side. The sensitivity of the applied voltage decreased with increasing blowing ratio.

Investigation on overall performance of double-jet film cooling holes with various spanwise distance

Jianhong He, Jiaxu Yao, Xi Yang, Ke Zhang, Jiang Lei, Gongnan Xie

Summary: This study experimentally and numerically evaluates the overall film cooling performances of double-jet film cooling (DJFC) holes on a flat plate, including the film cooling effectiveness (eta), heat transfer coefficient (HTC) ratio, and the net heat flux reduction (NHFR) parameter. The spanwise distance (p/d) varied as 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, while the streamwise distance (s/d) remained at 3.0. The results show that p/d = 0.5 has the highest cooling effectiveness and net heat flux reduction parameter among all configurations. At low blowing ratios, all DJFC configurations exhibit high film cooling effectiveness and positive NHFR values. However, the NHFR becomes negative for p/d = 1.0, 1.5 at high blowing ratios, indicating that the increased heat flux is larger than without film cooling. The film effectiveness distribution is significantly influenced by the anti-kidney vortex, which is related to p/d and blowing ratios (M). The heat transfer coefficient ratio profile is mainly affected by the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) enhanced by the jet interaction.

Zhiming Tan, Puhang Jin, Yingchun Zhang, Gongnan Xie

Summary: Due to advancements in micro manufacturing and 3D printing, the complex shape of microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) can now be achieved, allowing for improved heat transfer characteristics. In this study, a twisted tube geometry was applied to microchannels and the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of twisted square microchannels with jet impingement was investigated. The arrangement of the jet channels was studied, comparing one-jet and multi-jet microchannel heat sinks in terms of temperature profile, pressure drop, and heat transfer characteristics. The results showed that applying the twisted geometry increased the Nusselt number by 16.48% with minimal pressure drop increase. Furthermore, integrating jet impingement improved the thermal-hydrodynamic performance of MCHS, reducing thermal resistance by up to 41%. Finally, it was concluded that jet arrangement at torsion angles of 45 degrees, 135 degrees, and 225 degrees provided better performance. This study provides quantitative characterization of MCHS performance and guidance for jet arrangement design.

Summary: This paper establishes evaluation models based on energy, exergy, economy, and environment and carries out multi-objective optimization for combined cycle. The reliability and accuracy of decision methods are analyzed, with a comparison and analysis of cycle performance, economy, and environment benefits under different refrigeration conditions. The results show significant improvements in the overall performance of the combined cycle, with increased thermal efficiency, reduced investment costs, and improved economic and environmental costs for the top and bottom cycles after optimization. The temperature difference in the high-temperature section of the recuperator is significantly reduced in the reheat Brayton cycle after optimization, while the temperature difference in the low-temperature section of the subcooler is increased in the bottom cycle, aiding in volume reduction and improved compactness.

Junjun Chen, Leilei Yan, Hongbin Yan, Gongnan Xie

Summary: In this paper, an improved periodic cellular material (XCCH) that combines X-lattice with corrugated honeycomb is proposed. Comparisons with the X-lattice cored plate honeycomb (XCPH) show that the XCCH has higher compressive strength and convective heat transfer characteristics. Experimental and numerical results reveal that the XCCH has higher overall Nusselt number and better heat transfer performance. The introduction of corrugated fins improves turbulent kinetic energy and enhances heat transfer. Additionally, the XCCH has 20% higher compressive strength due to increased moment of inertia and improved energy absorption ability.

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a growing interest in studying energy systems for the combined management of power vectors. Most of the published works focus on finding the optimal design and operations of Multi Energy Systems (MES). However, for newcomers to this field, understanding how to achieve the desired optimization details while controlling computational expenses can be challenging and time-consuming. This paper presents a novel approach to analyzing the existing literature on MES, with the aim of guiding practical development of MES optimization. Through the discussion of six case studies, the authors provide a mathematical formulation as a reference for building the model and emphasize the impact of different aspects on the problem nature and solver selection. In addition, the paper also discusses the different approaches used in the literature for incorporating thermal networks and storage in the optimization of multi-energy systems.
