The most important reason for the design of curved tubes is increasing the heat transfer between the fluid and the wall which has provided many applications in various industries such as air conditioning, micro-electric, heat exchangers and etc. The aim of this study is numerical investigation of nano fluids flow in spiral tubes with injection of base fluid in different Reynolds numbers. Accord...

Experimental investigation was done to find the role of capillary tube length and amount of refrigerant charge on the overall heat transfer coefficient in condenser and evaporator and actual COP of a simple vapour compression refrigeration system. It was concluded that increasing of the refrigerant charge in the system largely enhances the overall heat transfer coefficient in the evaporator by ...

Heat transfer phenomena in batch fluidized bed dryer have been studied and analyzed using three phase model including solid phase, interstitial gas phase and bubble phase based on Rizzi model. New correlations of heat transfer coefficient to surrounding and convection heat transfer coefficient between solid and interstitial gas are being proposed. In addition, some modifications have been d...

An internally heat integrated distillation column, HIDiC, offers the maximum energy saving potential for difficult and energy intensive separations, such as propylenepropane and the like, which are carried out in tray columns. A novel type of HIDiC was developed by TUDelft, namely a concentric distillation column in which a low pressure annular stripping section is configured around a high pres...

the excellent performance of fluidized bed heat exchangers is due to the interaction between particles and heat transfer surface and to the mixing effects in the viscous sublayer. in this paper, the results of experimental investigations on heat transfer for a wide range of newtonian and non-newtonian (shear-thinning power law) fluids are presented. new design equations have been developed for ...

Laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. Experiments were carried out using Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the FLUENT code was used for numerical study. Investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

In internal combustion engines, exhaust valve and its seat gain considerable temperature as the hot gases exit through them. So, the rate of heat transfer should be under control. In this study, the contact heat transfer coefficient has been estimated. An experimental study on an Air-Cooled internal combustion engine cylinder head has been considered. Using the measured temperatures of sensors ...

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...

In the case of multi-component condensation the ‘condensing vapour contains a mixture of components having different boiling points, which condense over a wide temperature range, either in presence of or absence of non-condensing material. In this work, a design algorithm for the condensation of a multi-component vapour mixture in shell side of a shell and tube vertical condenser has been devel...
