The single-phase flow and thermal performance of a double pipe heat exchanger are examined by experimental methods. The working fluid is water at atmospheric pressure. Temperature measurements at the inlet and outlet of the two streams and also at an intermediate point half way between the inlet and outlet is made, using copper-constantan thermocouple wires. Mass flow rates for each stream are ...

one way to increase the heat transfer is to use perforated twisted tapes with different hole diameters, which largely improve heat transfer with an increase in the heat transfer area at the constant volume and more mixed flow. in the previous studies, the effect of nanofluids with perforated twisted tapes is less studied. in this work, the performance of water / iron oxide nanofluid in a double...

natural convection heat transfer from a tube bundle in the indirect water bath heaters is investigated. a computer-code is used for the solution of the governing equations of mass, momentum and energy transfer based on the simple-c algorithm. simulations are carried out for the gas pressure station heater of kermanshah city with various tube bundle arrangements. in order to validate the numeric...

Most of internal combustion engines have one or two heat shields that have been installed on the exhaust manifold to avoid the heat transfer to upper parts of the engine such as the valve cover. In some engines, this part fails due to the fracture and causes engine noise and other failures in the engine. In this paper, the failure of a heat shield due to vibrational loads of the engine has been...

This paper is a review of research work of last few years on heat transfer growth in offset-strip fin heat exchangers. It features a broad discussion on the application of enhanced heat transfer surfaces to offset strip fin heat exchangers. In this paper we are discussing 2D & 3D Analysis in OSF, Experimental & investigating research on OSFs, Analytical model to predict the heat transfer coeffi...

an analytical study was performed to study effects of thermo-diffusion and chemical reactions on a three-dimensional mhd mixed convective flow of dissipative fluid along an infinite vertical porous plate with transverse sinusoidal suction velocity. the parabolic partial differential equations governing the fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer were solved using perturbation technique and...

Cross-corrugated triangular channels increase heat transfer in heat exchangers. The mixing effect increases the heat transfer coefficient at the surfaces. In this study, the fluid flow and heat transfer in a triangular corrugated channel are modeled under two constant heat fluxes and different Reynolds numbers. In order to validate, k-ω turbulence model is used. Also, the effect of magnetic fie...
