A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...

C3MR, MFC, and DMR processes in an integrated LNG-NGL-NRU structure are investigated using the conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses. The results of advanced exergy analysis reveal that in most of the equipment, the highest amount of irreversibility is occurred because of endogenous exergy destruction. In C3MR process, compressor C5 with 9730 kW; in MFC process, compresso...

In this paper the thermal behavior of the shell-side flow of a shell-and-tufe heat exchanger has been studied using theoretical and experimental methods. The experimental method Provided the effect of the major parameters of the shell-side flow on thermal energy exchange. In the numerical method, besides the effect of the major paramerers, the effect of different geometric parameters and Re on ...

The state-of-the-art latent heat energy storage system is equipped with aluminum fins at the heat exchanger pipes in order to compensate the low thermal conductivity of the phase change material (PCM). The necessary amount of fins is directly coupled to the capacity of the storage system, what makes larger systems expensive. The PCMflux concept is developed in order to realize both a controllab...

The need for energy efficient, low cost, and reduced material solutions are encouraging HVAC&R engineers to explore new heat exchanger designs, including those using small diameter tubes and tubes with internal enhancements. Such developments thus require review and consideration for new and/or improved heat exchanger manufacturing techniques. Experimental and analytical study of a pressure exp...

A well-known backfill soil was considered to be used as the substitutive material. The hydrothermal properties of material were estimated in laboratory and then injected a numerical framework considering atmosphere-soil-HGHE interaction. Numerical simulations performed for HGHE installed compacted local materials. Two heat storage scenarios at three different installation depths also investigat...
