Effects of insertion of coiled wire in juxtaposition with twisted tapes on heat transfer rate and solar radiation without disturbing the flow inside the riser tubes in a solar flat plate collector is experimentally reconnoitered in this present work. The wire coil used as a turbulator is placed inside the riser tube while the twisted tape is inserted into the wire coil to create a continuous sw...

Heat transfer coefficient and thermal efficiency of γ-Al2O3/water nanofluids flowing through a double tube heat exchanger were experimentally investigated. The nanoparticles were well dispersed in distilled water at 0.05–0.15 %vol. A large number of experiments were performed at different fluid flow rates under turbulent flow regime (18,000<Re<40,000) and various nanofluid...

Currently, when designing finned heat exchangers (FHE), the average value of entire transfer coefficient (HTC) is considered. However, each row exchanger (HEX) has different hydraulic-thermal characteristics. The novelty this research to present differentiation individual air-side Nusselt number and Darcy-Weisbach friction factor correlations in FHE using CFD modelling. four-rows, circular tube...

Shell and Tube heat exchanger system (STHX) is widely used in food processing and chemical industries because it can sustain wide range of temperature and pressure. The main purpose is to exchange heat between hot and cool fluid. The designed controllers will regulate the temperature of outlet fluid to a desired set point in the shortest possible time irrespective of load and process disturbanc...

Considering lifecycle cost analysis during the design phase of thermal systems gives the design effort more worth. Furthermore thermodynamic exergetic optimization is a proven useful method for determining the most lifecycle cost optimal design of thermal systems for given thermodynamic constraints. The most thermodynamic efficient heat exchanger design basing on first law analysis may not be t...

This paper presents an analysis of the performance of a pancake absorber with a helical heal exchanger for use with point focus solar concentrating collectors. Th e principal difference between this type of absorber and most other concentrating solar collector absorbers is that the intensity of concentrated radiation monotonically increases from the inlet to the outlet of the heat exchanger tub...

Dengan kondisi operasi bagian shell (CO2 + Steam) T1 sebesar 184,28 oF, T2 12...

The presence of particles in liquid-solid fluidized beds enhances the bed heat transfer, because the movement of the particles leads to an increased turbulence in the system. Moreover, the violent movement of the particles has a positive effect on fouling of the heat transfer surface. The aim of this investigation was to perform systematic measurements of bed voidage and heat transfer coeff...

In air-conditioning and energy-recovery applications, heat exchangers are very important to the overall efficiency, cost, and size of the system. Current heat exchanger designs rely heavily on fin-and-tube or plate heat exchanger designs, often constructed using copper and aluminum. Recent developments in material sciencedin particular, advances in ceramics and ceramic matrix compositesdopen op...
