Solar is a green source of energy. The foremost objective is the efficient heating of air by enhancing the thermal efficiency of Solar Air Heaters. Even a small enhancement in efficiency will increase its life, power output and reduce its operating cost. In current study double pass, trapezoidal cross-sectioned channel with four different arrangement of corrugations at bottom and trailing wall of outlet pass is numerically investigated at a Re equals to 9400. Corrugations are of trapezoidal shape having pitch to height ratio (p/e) equals to 4. Four different arrangements of trapezoidal corrugation at bottom wall and trailing wall of outlet pass is investigated. When compared to a smooth trapezoidal channel, it turns out that an inline arrangement of corrugation enhances heat transfer by 33% while increasing friction factor by up to 27%. Also, compared to a staggered ribbed trapezoidal channel, inline corrugation patterns improve heat transfer by 7% and reduce friction by up to 16%.. Corrugations with staggered arrangement gives slightly better results but as space for passive cooling ducts in solar air heaters is limited therefore concerns regarding fabrication and less mechanical strength arises. Effect of increasing Reynolds number in trapezoidal corrugated channel shows increasing trend in Nu/Nuo, pressure drop and thermal performance factor.

In this study, a cooling system using corrugated cooling channels and Al2O3−Cu/water hybrid nanofluid is offered as the battery thermal management system (BTMS) for prismatic Li-ion batteries. A computational model built based on the finite element approach uses hybrid nanofluid at solid volume fractions ranging from 0 to 2% at various Reynolds numbers. The cold plates are corrugated and have a variety of square grooves positioned between prismatic Li-ion battery cells. The maximum temperature decreases as the volume fraction of solid nanoparticles and the number of corrugated cooling channels increases. When cases of using lowest and highest number of cooling channels are compared, maximum temperature reduction is found as 3.07 K when using water and 1.86 K when using Al2O3−Cu/water hybrid nanofluid (at the largest solid volume fraction). The number of square grooves in the cooling channels does not have any significant impact on the temperature drop when using nanofluid at the highest solid volume fraction.

Ultra-thin flat plate heat pipes must provide a degree of flexibility to meet foldable electronics heat dissipation requirements. In this paper, a new flexible ultra-thin flat plate heat pipe with a thickness of 0.75 mm has been designed and fabricated. Compared with the traditional flexible ultra-thin flat heat pipe, the innovation lies in the flexible insulation section formed by epoxy resin pouring of the shell. The design of the shell ensures that the flexible ultra-thin plate heat pipe can respond quickly to the external temperature change, and also has good flexibility, which provides a new choice for the material and structure design of the flexible ultra-thin plate heat pipe shell. The gas-liquid coplanar type mesh is used as the capillary wick to reduce the flow resistance of steam inside the heat pipe, and the wick is hydrophilically modified to improve its capillary pumping performance; a sandwich support structure is used to prevent the steam chamber from collapsing. The thermal performance of the three liquid filling ratios of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 was tested at different tilt angles and bending angles. The results show that: in the cases of filling ratios of 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, the ultra-thin flexible flat plate heat pipe with the liquid filling ratio of 0.3 has the best heat transfer performance under different working conditions; the tilt angle has different effects on the heat transfer performance and starting speed of the ultra-thin flexible flat plate heat pipe with different filling ratios, and the bending angle changes the steam condensation position inside the ultra-thin flexible flat plate heat pipe and increases the thermal resistance.

Passive thermal management of photovoltaic (PV) panels is an effective and low-cost method for reducing the surface temperature and improving the power output of these systems. In the current study, it is aimed to upgrade the efficiency of a PV system using a latent heat storage system with metallic mesh layers and multi-metal spinel oxide nanoparticles. The experimental part of this work contains two stages. In the first stage, three PV systems including an unmodified PV, LHSS (only paraffin)-integrated PV system and a LHSS-integrated PV system that modified with metallic mesh layers. As a result of the initial test, the PV system with mesh layers added LHSS gave the best performance results. In the second experiment, the mesh integrated LHSS of the PV system has been modified with MgOAl2O3 nanoparticles for enhanced thermal conductivity and compared with the PV system with mesh layer integrated LHSS containing only paraffin. According to the experimental results of this work, applying different types of LHSS configurations significantly reduced the surface temperature of the PV panel. The overall outcomes of the present work showed that using a LHSS with MgOAl2O3 nanoparticles-doped paraffin and metallic mesh layers upgraded the normalized power output efficiency and performance ratio of the unmodified system as 17.43% and 15.72%, respectively.

Solar energy is a safe and clean source of energy, available on earth throughout the year. A PV/T system is a device designed to take solar energy and convert it into electrical/thermal energy. Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems can also be useful to produce hot fluid (usually water) along with the generation of electrical energy. In addition, the electric generating performance of PVs increases with heat discharging ability of thermal system, which also prevent overheating in PV systems. Nanofluid is a new generation heat transfer fluid that deliver higher thermal conductivity and heat transfer rate compared to conventional fluids. The thermal conductivity of the nanofluid depends on the size of the nanoparticles, concentration of the nanofluid, and the method of its preparation. In this study, it is aimed to increase the thermal heat transfer of the PV/T system by using hybrid nanofluids, manufactured by adding 0.5% Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles to the water as a working fluid. By using hybrid nanofluids, increase in bidirectional performance along with enhanced cooling is achieved. In the experimental study, more heat was withdrawn from the heated PV panels by utilizing the high thermal conductivity of the hybrid nanofluid, and the best improvement in total efficiency was obtained as 86% for the hybrid nanofluid. With the use of hybrid nanofluids in the cooling circuit, the electrical and thermal efficiency of the PV panel has reached to overall 81% on average basis.

As a novel variation of shell-and-tube heat exchanger, torsional flow heat exchanger has a promising application prospect, while drop-shaped tube can enhance fluid flow velocity, distribution, and overall heat transfer performance. A torsional flow heat exchanger with orthogonal drop-shaped tubes in the shell side is presented to obtain the benefits of both designs. Three numerical models about torsional flow heat exchangers are established, having the same structure but different in the axial ratio of the heat transfer tubes. The characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer in the shell side of heat exchangers are analyzed numerically. Response surface method is utilized to optimize the shell-side structure. The results show that compared with the torsional flow heat exchanger with common round tubes, torsional flow heat exchangers with orthogonal drop-shaped tubes of three axial ratios at the Reynolds number range from 5000 to 13000, pressure drop reduces by 9.26%-14.49%, heat transfer coefficient increases by 0.65%-11.57%, and comprehensive performance improves by 14.18%-27.23%. The optimum structure of the torsional flow heat exchanger with orthogonal drop-shaped tubes is predicted by using Minitab and compared to the initial structure, resulting in 17.19% improvement in heat transfer coefficient and 18.63% improvement in comprehensive performance. The study provides a reference for the structural exploration and improvement of torsional flow heat exchangers with enhanced tubes.

This paper reports a numerical study of the laminar free convection of dilatant fluid between two concentric cylinders. The simulations have been performed for the two dimensional steady state and the ANSYS CFX 16.2 was used for that objective. The governing problem parameters are taken as 1≤n≤1.6, 10≤Pr≤103, 103≤Ra≤105 and different number of grooves added to the inner cylinder (4, 8, 12, 16). We give detailed explanations on the effects of the precedent coefficients on the streamlines, isotherms, velocity and dimensionless temperature. The Rayleigh number strengthens the convective flow which refers by increasing in the Nusselt number at the same set of the other parameters; Also, the important phenomenon here (effects of the grooves) will have a large part from the discussion section. When the grooves accomplished a given number and n is high, the fluid is stiff and the heat transfer mode is purely by conduction.
本文报告了对两个同心圆柱体之间稀释流体层流自由对流的数值研究。模拟是针对二维稳态进行的，为此使用了 ANSYS CFX 16.2。支配问题的参数取为 1≤n≤1.6、10≤Pr≤103、103≤Ra≤105，内圆柱体上添加了不同数量的凹槽（4、8、12、16）。我们详细解释了先例系数对流线、等温线、速度和无量纲温度的影响。雷利数增强了对流，在其他参数设置不变的情况下，对流的对流通过增加努塞尔特数来实现；此外，这里的重要现象（凹槽的影响）将在讨论部分占很大比重。当凹槽达到一定数量且 n 较高时，流体会变得僵硬，热量传递模式将纯粹依靠传导。

The article presents the results of a computational and experimental study of the acoustic intensification of methane oxidation processes in high-enthalpy oxygen-containing flow of hydrogen combustion products. The studies were conducted by using tube with constant cross-section and finite length. Initial specific enthalpy of the oxygen-containing flow is varied from 1600 kJ/kg to 2400 kJ/kg. The patterns of total enthalpy influence of the oxygen-containing flow of hydrogen combustion products and acoustic effect on the efficiency (completeness of chemical reactions) of methane oxidation were obtained. The dependence of acoustic frequency influence on completeness coefficient of physics-chemical processes has been found. The values of fuel equivalence ratio were determined for various total enthalpies of the oxygen-containing flow, corresponding to diffusion and kinetic regimes of methane oxidation. Stability of methane oxidation process and influence of forced acoustic oscillations on the spectral characteristics of static pressure pulsations in the flow were analyzed.

For cooling the electronics in limited space, this study proposes UTFHP with two working modes, i.e., short UTFHP with single-end heating and single-end cooling (SHSC) and long UTFHP with middle heating and dual-end cooling (MHDC). The effects of input head load and cooling temperature on the thermal performance of the short UTFHP with SHSC and long UTFHP with MHDC have been studied for the performance comparison. The input head load ranges from 0-38 W and the cooling temperature ranges from 15 ℃ to 65 ℃. The results show that the two layers wrapped 200 in-1 screen mesh can provide adequate capillary pressure, hence, both of the two UTFHP working modes show good temperature uniformity. The short UTFHP with SHSC shows better thermal performance compared to the performance of long UTFHP with MHDC. In addition, the thermal resistances of both UTFHPs decrease with the increase of the input heat load and the decrease of the cooling temperature under the ranges of operating conditions.

In addition, the thermal resistances of both UTFHPs decrease with the increase of the input heat load and the decrease of the cooling temperature under the ranges of operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":50408,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139055970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
This work presents a CFD investigation of a Solar Air Heater that features alternating upper and bottom absorber plates to evaluate its thermal behavior and turbulent flow characteristics. Generally, the SAH exhibits low heat transfer characteristics and poor thermal efficiency in turbulent flow. The use of alternating upper and bottom absorber plates facing the turbulent flow would improve heat transfer by producing recirculation zones mainly over these heated plates. The Computational Fluid Dynamics software program, Ansys Fluent 15.0, along with the RNG k-ε turbulence model, was utilized in this analysis to solve the transport equations for turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate. The analysis encompassed several geometric and operating parameters, including the range of relative absorber plate length (lp/h) from 4.375 to 140, relative absorber plate height (h/H) ranging from 0.03 to 0.12, and Reynolds numbers varying between 3800 and 18000. The impact of these parameters on heat transfer improvement factors, including the Heat Transfer Amelioration Factor (HTAR), Friction Loss Amelioration Factor (FLAR), and Thermo-Hydraulic Efficiency Factor (THEF), was studied. The optimum computed THEF value was found to be 2.18 for (Lp/h) = 4.375, (h/H) = 0.12, and Re = 3,800
