In the present work, the effects of different operating parameters on the performance of a gravity-assisted heat pipe-based indirect evaporative cooler (GAHP-based IEC) were investigated. The aim of the theoretical study is to evaluate accurately the cooling performance indicators, such as the coefficient of performance (COP), wet bulb effectiveness, and cooling capacity. To predict the effectiveness of the air cooler under a variety of conditions, the comprehensive calculation method was adopted. A mathematical model was developed to simulate numerically the heat and mass transfer processes. The mathematical model was validated adequately using experimental data from the literature. Based on the conducted numerical simulations, the most favorable ranges of operating conditions for the GAHP-based IEC were established. Moreover, the conducted studies could contribute to the further development of novel evaporative cooling systems employing gravity-assisted heat pipes as efficient equipment for transferring heat.

The development of an effective drying performance of the fluidized bed dryer (FBD) is crucial to reduce drying costs. The objective of this study was to investigate the drying performance of wheat germ (WG) with different time-temperature combinations in the FBD. The WG was dried at different set temperatures of 80, 100 and 120 °C. The moisture content (MC) and water activity (WA) of WG were measured. A mathematical model was proposed to develop an optimal drying condition. The changes in the MC of WG during drying in the FBD could be divided into the decreased period, the dynamic equilibrium period and the increased period. The product temperature of 45 °C and WA of 0.3 of WG drying could be attained by different time-temperature combinations. The mathematical model, which was developed in conjunction with different time-temperature combinations, could predict the dehydration time and the condensation time of WG for optimization the drying conditions. The WG dehydration at the heating stage and the WG condensation at the cooling stage could also be evaluated by the dehydration flux and the condensation flux, respectively. The optimal drying performance of WG exists in a compromise between promoting dehydration and reducing condensation. Information obtained from the analysis of dehydration flux and condensation flux with experimental data and simulation gave the guidelines for performing an effective drying of WG in the FBD.

The Mathematical Model

The paper introduces a methodology aimed to optimize the performance of hydraulic components; in particular the design of a new two way flow control valve studying the valve internal fluid-dynamic behavior will be introduced. The methodology is based on the definition of a CFD tridimensional fluid-dynamic model. In fact, the model can help engineers to develop the best geometry, to optimize the valve performance, reducing the prototyping requirement and finally the time-to-market and, consequently, the development costs. At first, the original spool internal geometry has been evaluated and studied to tune the mathematical model and to validate it comparing its results with the data obtained through an experimental campaign. Then, the same approach has been applied to investigate several different internal spool geometries to define the best one in all operating conditions. A limited number of solutions have been prototyped and tested to verify the mathematical model predictions, in order to find the best configuration whose performances are consistent with the assigned objective for the component.

AbstractThe hydrodynamics of a Top Submerged Lance (TSL) slag bath are investigated here by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The object of the study is the pilot-scale furnace located at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, where air is injected beneath the slag bath with a top lance. The fluid dynamics system is evaluated at operating conditions, with experimentally measured slag physical properties and real flow rates. The numerical approach is based on the Volume Of Fluid (VOF) model, a front-tracking method that allows the interface to be geometrically reconstructed. Using a fine computational grid, the multiphase interactions are calculated with a high level of detail, revealing the mechanisms of bubble formation and bath dynamics. Two lance configurations are compared, with and without a swirler, and the effect on the hydrodynamics is discussed with regards to key features of the process, such as bubble dynamics, slag splashing, the interface area, rotational sloshing, and bath mixing. The model predicts bubble frequencies in the range of 2.5 to 3 Hz and captures rotational sloshing waves with half the frequencies of the bubble detachment. These results agree with real furnace data from the literature, proving the reliability of the computing model and adding value to the empirical understanding of the process, thanks to the direct observation of the resolved multiphase flow features. The comparative study indicates that the air swirler has an overall positive effect in addition to the proposed enhancement of lance cooling, with an increase in the bath mixing and a reduction in the splashing.

A procedure is presented for the quantification of the degradation index of Photovoltaic Generators, based on the quantification of the operational losses inherent in the system, which allows maintaining the nominal operating conditions and by the warranty terms of the photovoltaic generator. A photovoltaic generator connected to the network with a nominal power of 7.5 kWp, installed in the Solar Energy Research Center of Santiago de Cuba, is used to evaluate and validate the procedure. The starting point is the mathematical model of the photovoltaic generator, then the operational losses of the photovoltaic generator are quantified and the mathematical model is adjusted to real conditions, through a polynomial adjustment.  The results obtained show that the photovoltaic generator presents deviations in terms of the nominal power generation, because the operational losses are 7% with respect to the values ​​given by the manufacturer.

Abstract Heat accumulation in cogenerating plants allows increased electricity production during highest demand period. It also causes change of the overall electricity production. Changes in cogeneration coefficient follow the same trend. This paper examines the effect on the average cogeneration factor caused by adding the heat accumulator to the existing CHP. Variation of this coefficient influences the plant economics, since electrical energy is most expensive during the peak hours. In the model presented the operating conditions vary due to variations in the surroundings temperature and due to cyclical operation of the heat accumulator. Assumptions made, the mathematical model, and numerical method used are also presented.
