Buoyancy driven flow in counter flow heat exchangers

Spectral element simulations of buoyancy-driven flow

This paper is divided in two parts. In the first part, a brief review of a spectral element method for the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is given. The method is then extended to compute buoyant flows described by the Boussinesq approximation. Free convection in closed two-dimensional cavities are computed and the results are in very good agreement with the ava...

Heat Transfer to Separation Flow in Heat Exchangers

Performance analysis of parallel plate and rectangular micro channel counter flow heat exchangers

In this paper, a comprehensive study on the performance of parallel plate and rectangular micro channel counter flow heat exchangers is presented. The geometrical parameters of the two configurations are optimized for a given heat transfer rate, effectiveness and pressure drop. In case of rectangular micro channel counter flow heat exchanger, a reduced order model is developed first in which re...

Investigation on Turbulent Nanofluid Flow in Helical Tube in Tube Heat Exchangers

In this study, the thermal characteristics of turbulent nanofluid flow in a helical tube in the tube heat exchanger (HTTHE) were assessed numerically through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The findings of both the turbulent models: realizable k-epsion (k-ε) and re-normalisation group (RNG) k-epsilon were compared. The temperature distribution contours show that realizable and RN...

مطالعه تجربی شعله دیفیوژن counter-flow

در این تحقیق به مطالعه شعله پس اختلاط counterflow در حالت جریان آرام پرداخته شده است. تحقیقات صورت گرفته در این پروژه را می توان به دو دسته تجربی و عددی تقسیم کرد. در قسمت تجربی، جهت انجام آزمایشات، مشعل counterflowطراحی و ساخته شده است. مشعل طراحی شده از دو تکه تشکیل شده که بصورت روبروی هم قرا گرفته اند. هر کدام از آنها شامل دو لوله هم محور با قطرهای مختلف می باشند که فاصله بین دو تکه را می تو...
