a novel technique is investigated for pid controller adaptation in order to control thetemperature of a liquid-phase reactor tank by using a heat exchanger system. as for nonlinearity,time delay problems and model uncertainties introduced by the heat exchanger, an interval type-2fuzzy system (it2fs) is implemented to enhance and improve the total control performance.moreover, the fuzzy inferenc...

Title of Document: DEVELOPMENT OF MULTI-SCALE, MULTI-PHYSICS, ANALYSIS CAPABILITY AND ITS APPLICATION TO NOVEL HEAT EXCHANGER DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION Omar Abdelaziz Ahmed Abdelaziz, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Directed By: Reinhard Radermacher, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Heat exchanger development using enhanced heat transfer surface designs and optimization techniques is a c...

The aircraft environmental control system (ECS) is a critical aircraft system, which provides the appropriate environmental conditions to ensure the safe transport of air passengers and equipment. The functionality and reliability of ECS have received increasing attention in recent years. The heat exchanger is a particularly significant component of the ECS, because its failure decreases the sy...

This paper shows the research work on heat exchanger using nano fluid. In this paper we are using compact heat exchanger as heat transferring device while Al2O3 as a nano fluid. The effect of the nano fluids on compact heat exchanger is analyzed by using ε –NTU rating numerical method on turbo-charged diesel engine of type TBD 232V-12 cross flow compact heat exchanger radiator with unmixed flui...

The design, fabrication, testing and analysis of a microchannel heat exchanger, a key component for a microminiature Joule-Thomson Cryogenic Refrigerator is described. Results show that the heat exchanger can be fabricated efficiently and economically with the existing manufacturing technology. The heat exchanger was tested to be mechanically robust and durable under high pressure operating con...

In the present investigations heat transfer studies are made in three different types of corrugated plate heat exchangers having a length of 30 cm and width of 10 cm. The corrugated channel has a spacing of 5 mm. Three different corrugation angles are used in this study which are 30 0 , 40 0 and 50 0 . Water is taken as test fluid as well as the heating medium. The wall temperatures are measure...

The necessity of high effectiveness in a small volume has led to the development of perforated plate matrix heat exchangers (MHE) for cryogenic applications. Although the basic principles have remained the same, the techniques of fabrication and bonding have changed considerably during the last four decades. With the introduction of all metal construction, these exchangers are finding increasin...

Economic optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) is presented in this paper. To increase the rate of heat transfer, copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticle is added into the tube side fluid and their optimum results are compared with the case of without additive nanoparticle. Total annual cost (TAC) is selected as fitness function and nine decision variables related to the heat exchanger p...
