A lighting fixture utilizing LED light sources for illumination of commercial, outdoor and other large area applications incorporates efficient heat dissipation and improved convective air flow. An integrated heat transfer assembly is disclosed that is configured to enhance heat dissipation by providing an efficient thermal conductive pathway for radiation of heat to an external environment. The lighting fixture body is configured with a lens body and heat sink having a chimney tube with internally facing finned heat sink arrangement for providing enhanced convective air flow through the light fixture body. When the heat sink transfers heat from the LED light sources during operation so as to create heated air surrounding the heat sink, ambient air is drawn through the chimney and the heated air is exhausted through air gaps so as to create a conductive air current with the environment. The heat sink fins are configured to enhance the natural air draw through the chimney by tapering the surface areas of the fins.

A liner for a combustor of a gas turbine engine, including a shell having a first end adjacent to an upstream end of the combustor and a second end adjacent to a downstream end of the combustor, wherein at least one discrete region is subject to distress from impingement of hot gases, a plurality of cooling slots formed in the shell through which air flows for providing a cooling film along a hot side of the shell, and a group of cooling holes formed in the shell in the discrete region to augment the cooling film and provide convective bore cooling to the discrete region.

A fluid flow within a transportation pipeline is heated with low voltage, high current electrical energy induced into a conductive closed loop structure by one or more transformers. The closed loop structure is preferably a fluid transportation pipeline constructed of electrically conductive sections of pipeline. The amount of current induced is sufficient in relation to the inherent resistivity of the conductive sections to cause the generation of heat within the pipeline sections. By conductive and convective heat transfer, the heat induced into the pipeline structure is transferred to a fluid flow within the pipeline. The current is preferably an alternating current of frequency which causes a majority of the current to travel at or near the outer surfaces of the pipeline sections which increases the effective resistivity of the sections and heat generation therein.

A cooking oven controlled by an included retail-grade control device having a capacitive glass touchscreen and running a specialized cooking and controlling app, such as an Android tablet. A cooling system for the oven provides a reverse air flow cooling system that pulls air in from the top front of the oven rather than pushing it out. A single cooling fan provides adequate cooling to the control device, as well as providing cooling to a front door of the oven and also convective flow through the heating chamber. The control device is mounted in an upper control bezel which has a series of lateral air intake openings on a rear wall. The cooling fan actively cools the control device by pulling air into the intake openings and through a lower exhaust opening.

A dishwasher provides forced air flow in a counter-convectional direction so as to exhaust air out of a bottom portion of the washing volume in contrast to normal convective air flow.

Unwanted heat loss from production tubing or uncontrolled heat transfer to outer annuli is inhibited by introduction into the annuli a thermal insulating packer fluid or a riser fluid containing a zwitterionic surfactant, an alcohol and a brine. The viscosity of the composition is sufficient to reduce the convection flow velocity within the annulus. The invention has particular applicability with high density brines.

The invention discloses a phase change heat storage device. The phase change heat storage device comprises a heat accumulator shell, heat exchange pipelines and phase change materials, wherein the heat exchange pipelines and the phase change materials are arranged in the heat accumulator shell. The phase change heat storage device is characterized in that a porous metal framework is arranged in the heat accumulator shell, porous channel arrays are arranged on the porous metal framework in parallel in the axial direction, and the phase change materials are located in all porous channels of the porous channel arrays; the heat exchange pipelines are arranged in the porous channel arrays in the axial direction of the porous metal framework at intervals; each heat exchange pipeline is surrounded by at least one circle of pore channels; a flow dividing device is arranged at inlets of the heat exchange pipelines, and a flow collecting device is arranged at outlets of the heat exchange pipelines; three-dimensional crossed flow guide type chaos turbulators are further arranged in the heat exchange pipelines. According to the phase change heat storage device, due to the fact that the three-dimensional crossed flow guide type chaos turbulators are arranged in the heat exchange pipelines, flow guide blocks which are arrayed periodically and alternately can induce fluid to generate chaos convection, heat exchange between the fluid and pipe walls can be enhanced obviously, and the heat storage device can achieve excellent heat storage and heat exchange capability.
