based on two integration steps, an optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex distillation sequence. the first step is to employ heat integration in sequence and reduce the heat consumption and total annual cost of the process. the second one is to increase the exergetic efficiency of sequence by generating power in implemented expanders in sequence....

This article concentrates on the effect of MHD heat mass transfer on the stagnation point nanofluid flow over a stretching or shrinking sheet with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions. The flow analysis is disclosed in the neighborhood of stagnation point. Features of heat transport are characterized with Newtonian heating. The homogeneous-heterogeneous chemical reaction between the fluid and di...

Due to increasing applications of extended surfaces as passive methods of cooling, study of thermal behaviors and development of mathematical solutions to nonlinear thermal models of extended surfaces have been the subjects of research in cooling technology over the years. In the thermal analysis of fin, various methods have been applied to solve the nonlinear thermal models. This paper focuses...

In this study, the analysis of inherent irreversibility of chemical reactive third-grade poiseuille flow of a variable viscosity with convective cooling is investigated. The dissipative heat in a reactive exothermic chemical moves over liquid in an irreversible way and the entropy is produced unceasingly in the system within the fixed walls. The heat convective exchange with the surrounding tem...

some geothermal reservoirs have temperatures below boiling point and therefore natural steam can not be produced for power generation. refrigerant power cycles may be then employed to recover low temperature heat. in this article study is made of the power cycles of six different relligrants and most suitable refrigerants for this purpose are suggested

Nanofluid has great potentials in heat transfer enhancement and entropy generation decrease as an effective cooling medium. Effects of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow on entropy generation and heat transfer performance in a rectangular conventional channel are numerically investigated in this study. Four different volume fractions are considered and the boundary condition with a constant heat flux i...

In this paper a numerical method is used to study the unsteady state natural convection heat transfer within a confined porous media with uniform internal heat generation. The governing equations based on the Darcy model and Bossiness approximations are solved, using the finite difference Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method. The developed program was used to simulate natural convection ...

Recently, many vehicle manufacturers started to invest in new technology reduce the emission produced by their engines. Due regulations that become more stringent and rising demand for highly efficient vehicles, technologies were introduced achieve demand. One of gain popularity modern vehicles is applying force induction systems such as turbocharging supercharging engine. By using turbocharger...

In the present research, in contrast to the available papers, not only the superelasticity but also the shape memory effects are taken into account in determination of the impact responses. At the same time, in addition to modifying Brinson’s model for the shape memory alloys (SMAs), to include new parameters and loading events, and Hertz contact law, distributions of the SMA phases are conside...
