in the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (afc) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...

The University of Algarve, in consortium with “Cristal Construções – Materiais e Obras de Construção Civil”, “Itelmatis Control Systems” and “Itecons Instituto Investigação Desenvolvimento Tecnológico para a Construção, Energia, Ambiente Sustentabilidade”, is developing new concept outdoor heated sustainable swimming pool, having higher energy efficiency lower environmental footprint. main obje...

Experimental investigations has been done to find out the heat transfer characteristics and friction factor of water based Al2O3 nanofluids as a coolant in  brazed plate heat exchanger. Plate heat exchanger either use horizontally or vertically. The base plate of the plate heat exchanger was kept inclined at (0⁰, 30⁰ ,60⁰, 90⁰). The experimentation have been done on the two different concentrat...

Single staggered is a design development of normal wire and tube heat exchanger that wires are welded with staggered configuration on two sides. Capacity of wire and tube heat exchanger is the ability of the heat exchanger to release heat. The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of wire pitch (pw) on capacity of single staggered wire and tube heat exchanger. The research...

Background: Infections are readily transmitted as a result of bacterial contamination of swimming pools. Therefore, hygiene and preventing the contamination of swimming pools is of particular importance. The objective of this study was to determine the amount of bacterial contamination in indoor pools of Yazd in 2013. Methods: In this descriptive and analytical study, all indoor swimming pools ...

this study assessed the chemical and microbial contents in the water of public swimming pools in akwa ibom state, nigeria. a total of 16 public pools were selected through probability sampling from the 32 pools that existed in the five urban areas of akwa ibom state. water samples were collected from the sampled pools and tested in the laboratory for chemical and microbial contents. results sho...

background: using public swimming pools during different seasons and poor health behavior could be responsible in transmis­sion of fungal disease through pool water and its environment. therefore, this research was conducted to investi­gate fungal agents of indoor public swimming pools of ahwaz, capital city of khouzestan province, south-west of iran. methods : ten indoor swimming pools of ahwa...

Heat exchangers are the critical components of refrigeration and liquefaction processes. Selection of appropriate operational conditions for cryogenic recuperative heat exchanger and expansion valve operating in Joule-Thomson cooling system results in improving the performance and efficiency. In the current study, a straightforward procedure is introduced to design an efficient Joule-Thomson co...

In the current work optimization of double pipe fin-pin heat exchanger has been studied. The effective parameters those are controlling the heat exchanger performance are divided in two categories; geometrical and operating conditions. Using the Brent’s optimization algorithm and handling the thermodynamically design concept, one can minimize entropy generation in different length of heat excha...
