The heat sink with vertically rectangular interrupted fins was investigated numerically in a natural convection field, with steady-state heat transfer. A numerical study has been conducted using ANSYS Fluent software (R16.1) in order to develop a 3-D numerical model.  The dimensions of the fins are (305 mm length, 100 mm width, 17 mm height, and 9.5 mm space between fins. The number of fins used on the surface is eight. In this study, the heat input was used as follows: 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 watts. This study focused on interrupted rectangular fins with a different arrangement and angle of the fins. Results show that the addition of interruption in fins in various arrangements will improve the thermal performance of the heat sink, and through the results, a better interruption rate as an equation can be obtained.

Abstract The heat transfer and pressure drop in a microchannel heat sink with 02 mixing chambers with inclined walls were numerically studied. The transport equations have been resolved by the finite volume method using ANSYS Fluent software. The operating fluids are water and Al2O3-water. The results obtained for Reynolds numbers ranging from 187 and 705 show that adding a micro-mixing chamber with a rectangular rib in the microchannel improves the heat transfer and increases the pressure drop compared to conventional microchannels. The new shape of the mixing chamber studied shows a net decrease in pressure drop, which improves the performance of the micro heat sink by 5.6%.

The purpose of the study was to carry out a numerical simulation of the interaction of an underexpanded supersonic jet flowing into a flooded space with a normally located obstacle, and with the underlying surface. We performed the calculations in the ANSYS Fluent software package and presented flow patterns. For the case when the obstacle is located normally to the axis of the jet, we compared the pressure distribution in the radial direction with experimental data and made a conclusion about the changes in the integral load on the wall with a change in the distance to the nozzle exit. For the case when the obstacle is parallel to the jet axis, we presented the pressure distribution along the wall in the plane of symmetry, estimated the relative net force acting on the underlying surface, analyzed the nature of its change at various values of the off-design coefficient, the Mach number on the nozzle exit and the distance to the jet axis.

Addressing the traditionally contradictory problem of obtaining considerable drag reduction without negatively impacting heat transfer as much is an arduous scientific challenge. In this paper, prior efforts on frictional drag reduction and the associated issues are discussed in relevant detail, and the effectiveness of Conducting-Lubricating (CO-LUB) surfaces as one of the potential options to address this challenge for single phase forced convection of liquids is numerically pursued. CO-LUB surfaces have exceptionally high wetting characteristics, and when saturated with a liquid microlayer, provide remarkable lubrication to bulk liquid flow and simultaneously facilitate heat transfer by conduction through the microlayer. In the simulations, the side walls of a high aspect ratio rectangular channel were assumed as CO-LUB surfaces and flow and heat transfer of bulk liquid flow were modeled using ANSYS FLUENT 14.5. Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method was used to model the two phases with a free surface interface, with water as the microlayer liquid and oil as the bulk liquid, in a narrow channel of 5 mm width and 50 mm length under laminar flow, constant wall heat flux conditions. The results were compared with a regular channel of the same dimensions (without CO-LUB surfaces) and it was found that pressure drop decreased remarkably by ∼23 times for some cases but without any heat transfer attenuation (actually, improved heat transfer performance was observed) leading to highly energy-efficient convective transport.

The aim of this study is to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of turbulent airflow phenomena in a rectangular micro-channel in presence of two plane shaped (type-1) and diamond shaped (type-2) baffles which will help to develop various heat exchanger models. Finite volume method has been used to solve the governing equations and the FLUENT software has been employed to visualize the simulation results. For both the baffles, the profile of flow structure, normalized velocity profile, normalized friction factor and average Nusselt number have been investigated with the variations of Reynolds number ranges between [10,000-50,000]. In terms of fluid flow and heat transfer phenomena, it has been found that in the presence of diamond shaped baffles (type-2) are more convenient than plane shaped baffles.

A numerical study is achieved on a new shape of temperature saver solar collector using an artificial neural network. The storage collector is a triangle face and a right triangle pyramid for the volumetric shape. It is obtained by cutting a cube from one upper corner at 45°, down to the opposite hypotenuse of the base of the cube. The numerical study was carried out using the computational fluid dynamics code (ANSYS-Fluent) software with natural convection phenomenon in the pyramid enclosure. Elman backpropagation network is used for his ability to find the nearest solution with the smallest error rate. The network consists of three layers, each of different corresponding weights. The results show that the temperature and velocity distributions throughout the operating period were obtained. The influence of introducing an internal partition inside the triangular storage collector was investigated. Also the optimum geometry and location for this partition were obtained. The enhancement was best at y = 0.25 m, whereas the height of triangular collector was 0.5 m. The hourly system performance was evaluated for all test conditions. The performance of the NN to train a model for this work was 0.000207, while the error of the calculation was 1×10-2 as average.

The thermal and fluid physiognomies of a double twisted tube heat exchanger was examined numerically. Twisted engineering is a wide-use method to improve heat transfer in heat exchangers. A counter-flow mode utilizing hot water in the inner tube and cold air in the outer tube was considered. This study aims to progress the thermal performance of the double tube heat exchanger by using twisted tubes instead of plane tubes. The heat exchanger was (1m) length, outer diameter (0.05m) and inner diameter (0.025m), both with a thickness (0.004m). It was tested for different values of twist ratios (Tr= 5, 10, and 15 respectively) and Reynolds numbers (Re=5000 to 30000). The Navier - Stockes and energy equations besides the turbulence model in demand for modelling this physical problem. ANSYS Fluent code was used for the numerical simulation. The results showed that the twisted tube heat exchanger showed increasing heat transfer compared with a plain tube heat exchanger. It was found that the cold outlet temperature, pressure drop and effectiveness are increased as the twist ratio increases.

These days, much effort is being put into lowering the consumption of electric energy and involving renewable energy sources. Many engineers and designers are trying to develop environment-friendly technologies worldwide. It is related to incorporating appropriate devices into such technologies. The object of this paper is to investigate these devices in connection with refrigeration systems. Ejectors can be considered such as these devices. The primary interest of this paper is to investigate the suitability of a numerical model for an ejector, which is incorporated into a refrigeration system. In the present paper, there have been investigated seven different test runs of working of the ejector with a working fluid R-1234ze(E). Some of the investigated cases seem to have a good agreement and there are no significant discrepancies between them, however, there are also cases that do not correspond to the experimental data at all. The ejector has been investigated in both on-design and off-design working modes. A comparison between the experimental and numerical data (CFD) performed by Ansys Fluent software is presented and discussed for both an ideal and a real gas model. In addition, an enhanced analytical model has been introduced for all runs of the ejector.
