This paper presents a Bond Graph (BG) modelling approach to add and exploit on existing Modelica models some information on the energy structure of the systems. The developed models in the ThermosysPro library (Modelica-based) are already validated against the experimental data in previous works. A plate heat exchanger (PHE), which is equipment for nuclear power plants, is considered as a case ...

Microchannel heat exchangers (MCHXs) are now widely used in the HVAC&R industry. Similar to tube-fin heat exchangers used mainly in the indoor units, the innovative variable geometry microchannel heat exchanger will further reduce its compact size and enhance its performance. Variable geometry refers to a heat exchanger with different tube and fin surfaces within the same core with one or more ...

In this paper, the heat transfer enhancement in a counter-flow double pipe exchanger with longitudinal rectangular fins on outer surface of inner tube was numerically investigated by ANSYS 20.R1 software using CFD package and finite volume method. Hot water flows at 60℃ while cold 25℃. The flow is laminar five mass rates from 0.012kg/s to 0.02kg/s) for hot side 0.01kg/s 0.03kg/s side. Two types...

In the present study, the heat transfer coefficients of benzene in a spiral plate heat exchanger are investigated. The test section consists of a Plate of width 0.3150 m, thickness 0.001 m and Mean hydraulic diameter of 0.01 m. The mass flow rate of water (Hot fluid) is varying from 0.5 kg sec to 0.8 kg sec and the mass flow rate of benzene (cold fluid) varies from 0.4 kg sec to 0.7 kg sec. Exp...

This study aims to enhancement of heat transfer in double pipe exchanger by improving the thermal properties base fluid which is water adding AL2O3-Fe2O3 nanoparticles water. Al2O3-Fe2O3/water hybrid Nanofluid were examined experimentally and numerically at different flow rates ranging between (3 -7) Lpm temperature 25°C an external tube while there was a hot 60°C rate ranged – 5) running centr...

Methods Experiment A. We analyzed heat dispersion of an ECMO circuit (Maquet Rotaflow PLS System) at 36 combinations of blood flow (BF 1-3-5 L/min), gas flow (GF 0-510 L/min) and set temperature (T set 36-37-38-39 °C). In any condition, heat dispersion was considered equal to the power (Watts) generated by the heat exchanger at the steady state, defined as stable temperature throughout the circ...

This study analyzes the characteristics of alumina (Al2O3)/water nanofluid to determine the feasibility of its application in an air-cooled heat exchanger for heat dissipation for PEMFC or electronic chip cooling. The experimental sample was Al2O3/water nanofluid produced by the direct synthesis method at three different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.%). The experiments in this study mea...

In the present work an experimental investigation was conducted to obtain a correlation for the determination of convective heat transfer coefficients of stirred yoghurt in a plate heat exchanger. A rheological study was carried out in order to characterise the stirred yoghurt flow behaviour, evaluating its dependency both on shear rate and temperature. A shift in the temperature dependency was...

In this paper, the heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE) is considered and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to analyze its evaporator’s performance and based on it, will be try to increase the thermal efficiency and to optimize the distribution of fluid flow in this type of heat exchangers. The CFD principles which are made use in this article are effective and appropriate methods that usin...
