Some actual aspects of advancement the problem of improvement the heat exchange equipment are considered in the paper. First of all the actual items related to middle and high temperature recuperators are discussed with proper up-to — date approaches. The classification of flue gases heat recovery appliances has been proposed along with the statement and analysis of the main characteristics of the recovery plants and option the ways of optimization the mentioned characteristics. The problem of Reynolds analogy (similarity of relative change the heat transfer phenomenon and variation the hydraulic resistance) within the channels of different purpose and of various cross-section supplied with and without the obstacles has been analyzed in application to separate cases of flow along the surfaces equipped with the cavities (dimples) or the convex elements. Thermal Performance Factor (TPF) of the heat exchange process is qualitatively like to Reynolds analogy factor and is highly depended upon rate of heat transfer and of friction factor in conditions of the scheme under consideration for flow over the surface or flow within the channel. The various media has been compared used as a working body in the heat exchanger’s channels: gaseous, liquid and the nanofluids, the last appeared in practice since 2000. Analysis has been carried out on effect of using the secondary energy emitters (SEE) arranged inside the tube channels, on resulting heat flux by heat exchange between outward flow of combustion products and the inner air flow.

The study presents the problem of heat exchange in the biomass carbonisation reactor with cyclic operation. Based on the actual parameter of the biomass carbonisation reactor, a geometrical model was developed, and the computation of the heating process was conducted for two cases: an empty reactor and a filled reactor. Its result demonstrated that for the analysed configuration of the reactor, the process of heating biomass in the containers is limited by the capability of heat transfer to the biomass in the container. The results suggest opportunities for the improved heat exchange in the reactor and, accordingly, shortening heating time through installation of the system that forces circulation of hot air inside the reactor.

One of the main challenges for the energy industry is to improve the reliability and efficiency of heat exchange equipment in heating plants. Phase-change heat exchangers with low boiling point fluid (LBPF) are widely used in both conventional and renewable energy. The main objectives of increasing the efficiency of heat exchange equipment are to reduce the weight and dimensions, to increase the amount of heat transferred and to reduce the electricity consumption spent on pumping the heat transfer agent. These objectives are achieved by implementing various methods of heat exchange intensification in heat exchange equipment. A key aspect concerning application of various types of heat exchange intensifiers in heat exchange equipment is evaluation of possibility to increase their design efficiency. The paper presents the results of a computational parametric study of changes in efficiency of some LBPF-based plants when intensifying heat exchange processes by modifying functional surfaces of heat exchangers by laser ablation.

The Mathematical model which allows to calculate boiling expectation times in falling wavy liquid films on nonsteady heat release has been represented. It has been shown that it is necessary to take a convective constituent of a heat transfer into account in heat exchange modeling in falling films. The effective thermal conductivity coefficient which invlolves a convective constituent of a heat transfer calculated from average wave characteristics using Vorontsov method has been used. The method of accounting of the wave moving influence on a heat exchange process has been presented. The comparison of results of a numerical simulation and experimental data has been done

The article presents the problem of modelling the charging of a constant-phase bed storage in the first hours of the process. The places of errors in the heat transfer calculations for the packed beds were indicated. Granite in the shape of spheres and crushed rocks, with a characteristic dimension of 50 mm, was used for the experimental tests. The material was subjected to tomographic examination and then used as a storage material. The charging process was carried out for three flow rates: 0.006, 0.008 and 0.010 m3/s. After three hours of testing, the temperature of the outlet air for the granite sphere as the storage material was the same as for the granite crushed rock. However, the biggest differences occurred after 1 h of charging. They were equal to: 40.4% for the flow rate of 0.006 m3/s, 22.0% for the flow rate of 0.008 m3/s, and 18.5% for the flow rate of 0.010 m3/s. The differences were greater than the uncertainty of the measurements. As a result, different temperatures of the storage material were obtained. After three hours, they were equal to: 25.2%, 12.3% and 8.6% for the lowest, medium, and highest airflow, respectively. The conducted heat transfer analysis and the relationship Nu = f(Re) was determined. The influence of the calculated and actual surface of the crushed rock on the heat exchange process was explained. For all the tested air flow rates through the bed, higher thermal parameters were obtained for the crushed rock than for the sphere. The maximum differences in the Nu number were: 222.6%, 151.4% and 161.3% for the flow of 0.006, 0.008 and 0.010 m3/s, respectively. This means that the description of the heat exchange process in the piled beds would require a parameter that takes into account the geometry of the storage material.

The article discusses the process of heat transfer in the water sediment system having an impact on the input of nutrients and mineral substances from sediments to the bottom water layer. Therefore, conductivity sharply increases on the surface of bottom sediments and reaches more than 400 μS∙cm–1. The heat exchange process is analyzed in Lake Tapeliai classified as a “temporally warm” lake (see K. Kilkus). The paper defines heat transfer from bottom sediments to water applying the convection method and describes isotherm deepening of 4 ºC into sediments. The temperature of surface sediments in Lake Tapeliai was 3,3–3,9 ºC in 2007–2009, whereas the isotherm of 4 ºC slid 20–30 cm deeper to bottom sediments.

The standard engineer's model for heat transfer between the fluid flowing through the pipe and the exterior medium neglects the effects of the pipe's wall. The goal of this paper is to prove that they are not always negligible. Comparing the ratio between diffusivities of the fluid and the wall with the wall's thickness, using rigorous asymptotic analysis, we find five different models for effective description of the heat exchange process.

Photovoltaic thermal collectors (PV/T) are devices that produce both electrical and thermal energies simultaneously. Water acts as the working fluid that cools down the PV cells, thus improving their electrical efficiency, and at the same time hot water is produced due to the heat exchange process. As a consequence heat transfer augmentation is an important issue that affects the performance of such a hybrid system. The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effect of using a nanofluid on the performance of a photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) collector. The performance of the water cooled PV/T collector without nanofluid is first evaluated and then additional correlations are incorporated to include the nanofluid properties. Results showed that the use of nanofluid enhanced the rate of heat transfer which resulted in improvement in the performance of the PV/T collector. However, such improvement was not found to be significantly high to shift for nanofluids as working fluids in PV/T collectors.

When the temperature changes in any side of construction, the heat flow diffusing through construction also changes and it is varying until the stabilized steady state conditions is reached. In real terms, the heat exchange process in buildings is an unsteady state, consequently varying in time. Volatility of the heat exchange process is influenced by oscillating external temperature, internal heat gains, solar radiation and other factors that affect the heat balance of building. While calculating unsteady heat exchanges, it is important to divide the material into the right number of conditional layers. A conditional layer is material's thickness, in which an assumed process of steady heat transfer takes place. The time step is the second parameter which affects the accuracy of calculation of unsteady heat transfer. This parameter defines time during which temperature diffuses step by step through the conditional layer. Thermal diffusivity is the last parameter, which defines the equalization speed of the temperature in conditional layer. A combination of all these parameters is expressed as the Fourier number. Our research has showed that it's rational to divide layers of enclosure into equal thermal diffusions. Also, the cooling (heating) speed and the acceleration values of conditional layers significantly affect the accuracy of calculation. Santrauka Pasikeitus temperatūrai bet kurioje atitvaros pusese, pasikeičia ir šilumos srautas, sklindantis per atitvara, kuris kinta tol, kol tampa nuolatinis (stacionarus), atsiranda šilumine pusiausvyra. Realiomis salygomis šilumos mainai pastatuose vyksta nestacionarios būkles, t. y. kinta laiko atžvilgiu. Šiluminiu mainu procesu nepastovumas atsiranda svyruojant lauko oro temperatūrai, išsiskiriant šilumos pritekejimams pastate, veikiant saules spinduliuotei ar kitiems veiksniams, kurie daro itaka šiluminiam visapastato balansui. Skaičiuojant nestacionariuosius šilumos mainus, svarbu tinkamai sudalinti medžiaga reikiamu sluoksneliu skaičiumi. Sluoksnelis ‐ tai medžiagos storis, kuriame menamai vyksta stacionarus šilumos perdavimas. Laiko žingsnis, kuriuo temperatūra šuoliuoja per sluoksnelius, ir temperatūrinis laidis, kuris išreiškia temperatūros suvienodejimo sparta, tai dar du parametrai, darantys poveiki skaičiavimo tikslumui. Visu šiu parametru derinys išreiškiamas Furje kriterijumi. Atlikti tyrimai parode, kad sluoksnelius racionalu sudalinti vienodomis temperatūrinemis pralaidomis, o sluoksneliu aušimo (šilimo) greičio ir pagreičio vertes daro svaria itaka skaičiavimo tikslumui.
