an experimental study has been conducted on the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain an appropriate design. in this paper several tests was performed to investigate full factorial design of experiments. since each test was repeated seven times, the repeatability of the test was confirmed (p=1 bar and t=25 °c). sauter diameter was determined by photographing both the mixer and settle...

A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...

Experimental data was generated by performing the experiment on a plate heat exchanger for water/water system, at different flow rate and different hot water inlet temperature, at steady state conditions. Overall heat transfer coefficient (U) is determined for the performance evaluation of plate heat exchanger. The thermal properties of water (thermal Conductivity, Specific heat and density) at...

Danckwert's method was used to determine the specific interfacial area, a, and the individual mass transfer coefficient, k(L), during absorption of CO(2) in a bubble column with an anionic surfactant in the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer solution and NaAsO(2) as catalyst, the presence of which decreases the specific interfacial area and the individual mass transfer coefficient. The specific inter...

1. MODELING 1.1 Physical properties Table 1 lists the kinetic parameters assumed for the simplified, one-dimensional model of a photoelectrochemical cell in which the hydrogen-evolution reaction (HER) is catalyzed by platinum at the cathode and the oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) is catalyzed by iridium oxide at the anode. Table 1: List of kinetic parameters for OER and HER Parameter Descriptio...

In present study, the two phase flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop of R410A, R32 and R290 in microchannels are demonstrated. The experimental data were conducted in horizontal stainless steel tubes with the inner diameter of 0.3 mm and 1.5 mm. The testing conditions were performed with the mass fluxes range from 200 to 500 kg/m2s, the heat fluxes from 10 to 20 kW/m2, the s...

This paper investigates the enhancement of heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of a nanofluid containing nanoparticles (γ-AL2O3) with a particle size of 20 nm and volume fraction of 0.1%-0.3% (V/V). Effects of temperature and concentration of nanoparticles on Nusselt number changes and heat transfer coefficient in a double pipe heat exchanger with counter turbulent flow are investigate...
