Effect of mass flow rate of inlet gas on holdup mass in a high efficiency cyclone has been performed. Cyclone as heat transfer equipment may be used for drying, solidification, water removal, solvent recovery, sublimation, chemical reaction and oxidation. In all such cases, performance of cyclone depends on the surface area of the solid particles inside the cyclone. The holdup varies with the variation in operating parameters. This proposed work will present an effect of mass flow rate of inlet gas on cyclone heat exchanger and calculation of holdup mass by varying the mass flow rate of inlet gas, solid feed rate and diameter of the particle.

High Heat Transfer

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer thermal energy between two or more liquids, between a solid surface and a liquid, or between solid particles and a liquid at different temperatures and in thermal contact where shell and tube heat exchangers contain a large number of tubes packed in a jacket whose axes are parallel to those of the shell. Heat transfer occurs when one fluid flows into the pipes while the other flows out of the pipes through the jacket. In industry, three-tube heat exchanger tubes are used as condensers, evaporators, sub cooler, heat recovery heat exchangers, etc. The three concentric tube heat exchanger is a constructively modified version of the double concentric tube heat exchanger as an intermediate tube adds some advantages over the double tube heat exchangers in that it is larger tube surface area heat transfer per unit of length.  In the present study, the triple tube heat exchanger is further modified by inserting helical baffle over the surface of one of the tubes and observed turbulence flow which may lead to high heat transfer rates between the fluids of heat exchanger. Further, the Reynolds number, Nusselt number, friction factor of the flow at different mass flow rates of the hot fluid while keeping a constant mass flow rate of cold and normal temperature fluids were calculated. It was found that as the mass flow rate of the fluid increases the Reynolds number increases, the turbulence in the flow will increase which will cause the intermixing of the fluid, higher the rate of intermixing, more will be the heat transfer of the system.

AbstractAlternative (unconventional) deep geothermal designs are needed to provide a secure and efficient geothermal energy supply. An in-depth sensitivity analysis was investigated considering a deep borehole closed-loop heat exchanger (DBHE) to overcome the current limitations of deep EGS. A T2Well/EOS1 model previously calibrated on an experimental DBHE in Hawaii was adapted to the current NWG 55-29 well at the Newberry volcano site in Central Oregon. A sensitivity analysis was carried out, including parameters such as the working fluid mass flow rate, the casing and cement thermal properties, and the wellbore radii dimensions. The results conclude the highest energy flow rate to be 1.5 MW, after an annulus radii increase and an imposed mass flow rate of 5 kg/s. At 3 kg/s, the DBHE yielded an energy flow rate a factor of 3.5 lower than the NWG 55-29 conventional design. Despite this loss, the sensitivity analysis allows an assessment of the key thermodynamics within the wellbore and provides a valuable insight into how heat is lost/gained throughout the system. This analysis was performed under the assumption of subcritical conditions, and could aid the development of unconventional designs within future EGS work like the Newberry Deep Drilling Project (NDDP). Requirements for further software development are briefly discussed, which would facilitate the modelling of unconventional geothermal wells in supercritical systems to support EGS projects that could extend to deeper depths.

Plate-fin heat exchangers provide a broad range of applications in many cryogenic industries for liquefaction and separation of gasses because of their excellent technical advantages such as high effectiveness, compact size, etc. Correlations are available for the design of a plate-fin heat exchanger, but experimental investigations are few at cryogenic temperature. In the present study, a cryogenic heat exchanger test setup has been designed and fabricated to investigate the performance of plate-fin heat exchanger at cryogenic temperature. Major parameters (Colburn factor, Friction factor, etc.) that affect the performance of plate-fin heat exchangers are provided concisely. The effect of mass flow rate and inlet temperature on the effectiveness and pressure drop of the heat exchanger are investigated. It is observed that with an increase in mass flow rate effectiveness and pressure drop increases. The present setup emphasis the systematic procedure to perform the experiment based on cryogenic operating conditions and represent its uncertainties level.

The transient performance of a multi-pass cross flow heat exchanger subjected to temperature and mass flow rate perturbations, where the heat exchanger flow circuiting is neither parallel flow nor counter flow, is considered in this work. A detailed numerical study was performed for representative single-pass, two-pass, and three-pass heat exchangers. Numerical predictions were obtained for cases where the minimum capacity rate fluid was subjected to a step change in inlet temperature in absence of mass flow rate perturbations. Likewise, numerical predictions were obtained for the heat exchangers operating initially at steady state, where a step mass flow rate change of the minimum capacity rate fluid was imposed in the absence of any fluid temperature perturbations. The transient performance of this particular heat exchanger configuration subjected to these temperature and flow disturbances has not been discussed previously in the available literature. In the present study the energy balance equations for the hot and cold fluids and the heat exchanger wall were solved using an implicit central finite difference method. A parametric study was conducted by varying the dimensionless quantities that govern the transient response of the heat exchanger over a typical range of values. Because of the storage of energy in the heat exchanger wall, and finite propagation times associated with the inlet perturbations, the outlet temperatures of both fluids do not respond instantaneously. The results are compared with previously published transient performance predictions of multi-pass counter flow and parallel flow heat exchangers.

Abstract Cooling is indispensable for maintaining the desired performance and reliability over a very huge variety of products like electronic devices, computer, automobiles, high power laser system etc. Apart from the heat load amplification and heat fluxes caused by many industrial products, cooling is one of the major technical challenges encountered by the industries like manufacturing sectors, transportation, microelectronics, etc. Normally water, ethylene glycol and oil are being used as the fluid to carry away the heat in these devices. The development of nanofluid generally shows a better heat transfer characteristics than the water. This research work summarizes the experimental study of the forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristics of a nanofluid consisting of water and 1% Al2O3 (volume concentration) nanoparticle flowing in a parallel flow, counter flow and shell and tube heat exchanger under laminar flow conditions. The Al2O3 nanoparticles of about 50 nm diameter are used in this work. Three different mass flow rates have been selected and the experiments have been conducted and their results are reported. This result portrays that the overall heat transfer coefficient and dimensionless Nusselt number of nanofluid is slightly higher than that of the base liquid at same mass flow rate at same inlet temperature. From the experimental result it is clear that the overall heat transfer coefficient of the nanofluid increases with an increase in the mass flow rate. It shows that whenever mass flow rate increases, the overall heat transfer coefficient along with Nusselt number eventually increases irrespective of flow direction. It was also found that during the increase in mass flow rate LMTD value ultimately decreases irrespective of flow direction. However, shell and tube heat exchanger provides better heat transfer characteristics than parallel and counter flow heat exchanger due to multi pass flow of nanofluid. The overall heat transfer coefficient, Nusselt number and logarithmic mean temperature difference of the water and Al2O3 /water nanofluid are also studied and the results are plotted graphically.

Overall Performance

Usually, poultry houses are located in a remote area where there is no electricity, and where there is electricity, it is expensive, so resorting to these solutions is considered important solutions to save electrical energy and provide free cooling. The main part of generated energy is consumed by cooling and heating systems. One of the well-known approaches to implemented heating and cooling system is earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE) system. This system is effective passive heating and cooling systems which can be used with poultry houses and building. This research studies numerically the effect of mass flow rate on the overall performance of earth to air HE for poultry houses. Four parameters (mass flow rate, required rate, required cooling load and pipe lengths) are selected under environment of Nasiriyah city (a city located in the south of Iraq). The study is conducted using PVC material. The study has been done during summer season. The suggested numerical model has been tested and validated using existing approaches selected from literature review papers. This test shows good agreement with results of selected papers. Moreover, validation and simulation results showed that the required cooling load increased with increasing mass flow rate. Also, with the increasing length of pipe of EAHE, the inflow temperature compared to the space temperature is decreased. However, the overall performance factor of EAHEs decreases by the increase of length of pipe and mass flow rate. Which indicate the possibility of using the earth to air heat exchanger for cooling and heating poultry houses and reduce the use of electrical energy.

A comprehensive experimental study on the effects of different operating parameters on the efficiency of tesla turbine is reported. A bladeless turbine with nine discs and up to four turbine inlets was used, with water as the working fluid. The parameters investigated are the nozzle angle, number of turbine inlets and mass flow rates. Contrary to earlier studies, an effort was made to determine the performance under varying loading conditions, and hence identify the complete performance characteristics. The study revealed that efficiency of the turbine increases at lower nozzle angles and higher number of turbine inlets. It was observed that the nozzle angle becomes a significant parameter when the number of turbine inlets is increased. Efficiencies up to 78% were achieved when the working fluid entered the turbine through two nozzles at an angle of 7°. It was also noted that the turbine is most efficient at the designed mass flow rate, and the efficiency reduces appreciably if lower mass flow rates are fed to the turbine. The results obtained are an important contribution to the available knowledge and can be used as design references for further studies.
