The results of a comprehensive study on the charging and discharging latent heat storage systems (LHSS) are presented. Multi-tube shell-and-tube units with variable layouts tube bundles examined. Two arrangements—in-line staggered—are tested. A number tubes different positions in bundle investigated. Moreover, two pitch ratios studied. Three commercially available substances used as phase chang...

This current work mainly focuses on the enhancement of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics shell-and-tube exchangers by incorporating dimples smooth or conventional tubes. With aid ANSYS (Fluent) commercial software package, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations under a steady-state condition were conducted exchanger having single shell 12 tubes (with without dimples), 50% baf...

Previous studies have suggested several adaptive functions for the decorated tube caps of Diopatra cuprea (Polychaeta: Onuphidae). We experimentally tested the hypothesis that decoration provides crypsis. A series of field experiments quantified predation-related damage done to tube caps that were (1) devoid of decoration, (2) decorated with algae, or (3) decorated with shell fragments. If deco...

We develop a trust region filter strategy for simultaneous optimal design of heat exchanger networks that includes detailed shell-and-tube exchangers. The first solves mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) formulation with shortcut models to generate candidate network topologies, which are then used in non-isothermal mixing (NLP) suboptimization embedded using modified (TRF) algorithm. An...

The response of vacuum to the presence of external conditions is the subject of this work. We consider a generalization of the Casimir effect in the presence of curved boundaries on which a sharp potential is concentrated. The profile of the potential is a delta function, which has some features in common with a hard boundary and some with a smooth background field. The boundaries investigated ...

In This paper uses an Attractive-Repulsive Particle Swarm Optimization (ARPSO) method for determining the optimal parameters of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for temperature control of a shell and tube heat exchanger. Most of the heat exchange process is characteristic of nonlinear, large time delay and time varying. For such process it is very difficult to tune its controll...

Results of molecular-mechanics simulations of axial and torsional deformations of a single wall carbon nanotube are used to find Young’s modulus, the shear modulus, and the wall thickness of an equivalent continuum tube made of a linear elastic isotropic material. These values are used to compare the response of the continuum tube in bending and buckling with that obtained from the molecular me...
