the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

in this paper the effect of block shape vortex generators (vgs) on an air-water fin-tube heat exchanger has been studied experimentally using exergy analysis method. also the effect of these vgs on increasing heat transfer rate has been simulated numerically and the results show a good agreement with the experiments. in this research we used a wind tunnel to produce wind flow over heat exchange...

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 ...

This report presents UCB progress in developing a comprehensive thermal and fluid dynamics model for the NGNP intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) and other compact heat exchangers. For nuclear hydrogen applications, an IHX is required to transfer heat from high temperature and high-pressure primary helium coolant to a hydrogen production process. An intermediate heat transfer loop is used for the...

In this study, a reputable Kalina cycle system, KCS 11, is simulated and analysed. Within this efficient cycle, there are three heat exchangers: the first heat exchanger is designated for heat absorption from the heat source, the second heat exchanger is designed for heat release to the cold source, and the third heat exchanger is designed for energy recovery. In order to achieve precise si...

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...

heat exchangers are one of the most important devices of mechanical systems in modernsociety. most industrial processes involve the transfer of heat and more often they requirethe heat transfer process to be controlled. a heat exchanger is the heat exchanged betweentwo media, one being cold and the other being hot. there are different types of heatexchanger, but the type which is widely used in...

the purpos of this paper is to aim the maximum heat transfer rate in a plate-fin heat exchanger with a constant volume and a contant surface area at a prescribed pressure drop. this paper propose a method for design a plat-fin heat exchanger in which a maximum pressure drop occurs at a constant volume and surface are. in this paper as a case study, a preheater of a gas turbine which is a plate-...

if an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. this mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. howeve...
