Performance Evaluation Criterion

The existing equations for the thermal performance evaluation, at equal pumping power for the artificially roughened and smooth surfaced multitube and rectangular duct heat exchangers, have been critically reviewed because the literature survey indicates that a large number of researchers have not interpreted these equations correctly. Three of the most widely used equations have been restated with clearly defined constraints and conditions for their application. Two new equations have been developed for the design constraints not covered earlier.

This study investigated the laminar convective heat transfer and fluid flow of Al2O3 nanofluid in a counter flow double-pipe heat exchanger equipped with overlapped twisted tape inserts in both inner and outer tubes. Two models of the same (co-swirling twisted tapes) and opposite (counter-swirling twisted tapes) angular directions for the stationary twisted tapes were considered. The computational fluid dynamic simulations were conducted through varying the design parameters, including the angular direction of twisted tape inserts, nanofluid volume concentration, and Reynolds number. It was found that inserting the overlapped twisted tapes in the heat exchanger significantly increases the thermal performance as well as the friction factor compared with the plain heat exchanger. The results indicate that models of co-swirling twisted tapes and counter-swirling twisted tapes increase the average Nusselt number by almost 35.2–66.2% and 42.1–68.7% over the Reynolds number ranging 250–1000, respectively. To assess the interplay between heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss penalty, the dimensionless number of performance evaluation criterion was calculated for all the captured configurations. Ultimately, the highest value of performance evaluation criterion is equal to 1.40 and 1.26 at inner and outer tubes at the Reynolds number of 1000 and the volume fraction of 3% in the case of counter-swirling twisted tapes model.

Based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics as well as exergo-economic theory, comprehensive performance evaluation criterion has been proposed for enhanced tube under the condition of equivalent pump (fan) power consumption, accounting for a variety of factors such as heat transfer, flow and investment costs. Performance evaluation criterion formula, namely, net profit value (NPV) has been derived from the perspective of the exergy recovery. Take spirally corrugated tube as an example, the results show that the exergo-economic performance of the spirally corrugated tube is superior to smooth tube for the range considered in the present study. From the viewpoint of NPV, although NPV of enhanced tube is greater than that of smooth tube, there exist critical values of Re and Nq exceeding which NPV of enhanced tube would be less than zero, showing no engineering significance.

Comprehensive Performance

In view of energy consumption characteristics of a typical industrial park, to further improve the low-grade waste heat utilization of CCHP system, an improved CCHP triple-generation system (ITRI) equipped with thermal storage device (TSD) and electric chiller (EC) is proposed. A comprehensive performance evaluation criterion (CPEC) is established, the capacity of triple-generation system is configured by using nonlinear programming method. A hybrid operating mode optimization strategy is proposed based on the different CPEC values of different operating mode. The results demonstrate that: after adopting ITRI, compared with traditional triple-generation system (TTRI), although annual cost increased by 0.63%, the primary energy consumption rate and lower carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 5.45% and 3.72% respectively, CPEC value increased by 19.7%. This paper has a theoretical guidance for design of triple-generation system in new industrial park and has a certain reference value for operating mode optimization of triple-generation system in the industrial parks which has been built.
