In this experiment effect of two full and half width sinusoidal inner tubes in triplex-tube heat exchanger with phase change material (PCM) was investigated. Length and diameter of the tubes have been chosen such that the area of each tube to be the same. Charging and discharging processes were carried out by inner tube, outer tube and both. Results indicated, PCM melting and solidification tim...

Fin tube heat exchangers are used in many heating and cooling devices for the purpose of transfer from one element to other by conduction convection. Due their designs fin also provide a control space or volume carrying out chemical reactions extracting surrounding liberating while undergoing an endothermic exothermic reaction respectively. The Thermally Activated Cooling (TAC) system developed...

Abstract. This paper presents results of an experimental study on heat exchanger consisting of finned tube.The presented method for determining the local heat transfer coefficient on external tube surfaces is characterized by very high accuracy and can be applied to determine the spatial heat transfer distribution on objects with a complex shape. As a results of experimental and numerical inves...

this paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation carried out in turbulent forced convection in a tube with helical ribs. enhancement of heat transfer using helically corrugated tubes has beenstudied experimentally by many researchers but there exist a few published numerical analyses results. the paper also introduces the results of heat transfer and friction factor data for inco...

Ionanofluids are a new and innovative class of heat transfer fluids which exhibit fascinating thermophysical properties compared to their base ionic liquids. This paper deals with the findings of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of ionanofluids as a function of a temperature and concentration of nanotubes. Simulation results using ionanofluids as coolants in heat exchanger are al...

The low frequency noise from heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) makes dominant contribution to the noise on the boundary of plant, which generation mechanism is investigated in this presentation. The non-stationary flow field and aeroacoustic noise is studied with hybrid numerical simulation, which is comprised of CFD method based on Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and acoustic analogy by using F...

in this article the effect of fouling on tube side and the overall performance of preheat exchangers of crude distillation unit of petroleum refinery have been investigated. for this purpose the experimental data of australian light crude oil in surface temperature of 200-260oc and the velocity between 0.25 to 0.4 m/s have been used. first, an overall dirty heat transfer coefficient was calcula...
