An Investigation into the Performance of Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger using CFD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heat pipe is a device that transports heat with minimal temperature drop using the latent heat of fluid in a closed container. In vertical type named as thermosyphon (Wickless), capillary action is replaced by the gravitational force, this condenser is placed above evaporator. In this paper, to investigate the effect of inlet air temperature and the air mass flow rate was studied. The temperature was varied from 100 deg. to 200 deg. by taking a step size of 50 deg. Step Inlet air mass flow rate from evaporator was varied from 0. 03 kg/sec to 0. 09 kg/sec with 0. 03

An experimental investigation of heat transfer of Fe2O3/Water nanofluid in a double pipe heat exchanger
One way to increase the heat transfer is to use perforated twisted tapes with different hole diameters, which largely improve heat transfer with an increase in the heat transfer area at the constant volume and more mixed flow. In the previous studies, the effect of nanofluids with perforated twisted tapes is less studied. In this work, the performance of water / iron oxide nanofluid in a double...

متن کاملInterconnected Heat Pipe Solar Collector
This paper deals with the performance of a heat pipe solar collector. The solar collector consisted of an interconnected heat pipe so as to reduce the production cost by using an interconnected heat pipe because all the heat pipes can be evacuated, sealed and tested at once. Performance of a prototype of the heat pipe solar collector was experimentally examined, and the results were compared wi...
