the present study investigated the effect of distilled-water/ silver nanofluid on heat transfer in a closed cooling system of one of the electrical energy generation units at isfahan power plant. the difference between this study and previous researches refers to silver properties which have a high thermal conductivity and is non-toxic, hydrophilic and eco-friendly. distilled water/ silver nano...

Many studies are performed by researchers about Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger but the Multi-Objective Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm (MOBBA) technique has never been used in such studies. This paper presents application of Thermal-Economic Multi-Objective Optimization of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Using MOBBA. For optimal design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, it was first thermally model...

In this paper, fluid flow and heat transfer in the laboratory (small size) shell tube heat exchanger are analysed by computational fluid dynamic software. In this type of shell tube heat exchanger baffles with different angles of rotation: 00 (horizontal segmental baffle), 150 (from horizontal), 300, 450, 600, 750, 900 (vertical segmental baffle) is used. Effect of baffle orientation on shell t...

Energy saving is major matter in our global world, and heat exchanger is very useful for energy saving. Of course heat exchanger is most significant component for chemical reaction, distillation, dissolution, crystallization, fermentation etc. So the correct selection of heat exchanger is important in these processes. Spiral tube Heat Exchangers are known as excellent heat exchanger because of ...

A shell and tube heat exchanger is a class of heat exchanger designs seen most common type of heat exchanger in oil refineries and other large chemical processes, and is suited for higher-pressure applications. As its name implies, this type of heat exchanger consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows...

in the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (afc) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...

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 ...

The use of natural convection, side-arm heat exchangers in solar domestic water heating systems is becoming a popular method of reducing system cost and electric demand. In this paper, we compare thermal performances of three natural convection heat exchangers mounted along the outside of the water storage tank and a commercial wraparound-tank heat exchanger to two forced-flow heat exchangers. ...

in this paper, overall heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of water based γ-al2o3 nanofluid in a double tube counter flow heat exchanger have been measured experimentally under turbulent flow condition. for better dispersion of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles in distilled water, magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator (with a power of 240 kw and frequency of 35 khz) were implemented. the stabi...
