Abstract:

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments were carried out in an industrial scale simulator rig with an inner diameter of 1.2 m which has two test trays (ConCap tray) and two chimney trays. It was found that the weir height affects only on the pressure drop. The recommended weir height for the ConCap tray must be 2.5 cm because of observed spray flow regime on the tray and experimental results in different weir height which shows no effect on the weeping and entrainment rates. Moreover, the hydraulic behavior of the tray in the lower operating limits was also investigated.

An experimental investigation on the performance of a symmetric conical solar collector using SiO2/water nanofluid

One of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. The present study experimentally investigated the effect of SiO2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. The conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in Ahvaz, a city in th...

Experimental Studies on the Effects of Process Parameters on Granule Properties in a Conical High Shear Granulator

Experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. It was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to anot...
