Heat Transfer has special importance in engineering applications. So, researchers have suggested different new idea to increase heat transfer and using nanofluid is one of these methods In recent years, new methods have been used. One of these methods is the use of nanofluids, ., because nanofluids have higher heat transfer potential than base conventional fluids. In this investigation effect o...

Leakage in heat exchanger tubes can result in unreliable products and dangerous situations, which could cause great economic losses. Along with fast development of modern acoustic detection technology, using acoustic signals to detect leakage in heat exchange tube has been gradually accepted and considered with great potential by both industrial and research societies. In order to further advan...

The focus of this work is the modeling and performance comparison of different models of pulse tube refrigerators, namely, the Orifice Pulse Tube Refrigerator (OPTR) and the Inertancetube Pulse Tube Refrigerator (IPTR) with both in-line as well as coaxial configurations. A detailed analysis of the flow and heat transfer in various components of the above mentioned models under oscillating flow ...

the paper studies optimization of shell-and-tube heat exchangers using the particle swarm optimization technique. a total cost function is formulated based on initial and annual operating costs of the heat exchangers. six variables – shell inside diameter, tube diameter, baffle spacing, baffle cut, number of tube passes and tube layouts (triangular or square) – are considered as the design para...

the present study investigated the effect of distilled-water/ silver nanofluid on heat transfer in a closed cooling system of one of the electrical energy generation units at isfahan power plant. the difference between this study and previous researches refers to silver properties which have a high thermal conductivity and is non-toxic, hydrophilic and eco-friendly. distilled water/ silver nano...

Joule-Thomson cooling systems are used in refrigeration and liquefaction processes. There are extensive studies on Joule-Thomson cryogenic systems, but most of them coverage steady state conditions or lack from experimental data. In the present work, transient thermal behavior of Joule-Thomson cooling system including counter current helically coiled tube in tube heat exchanger, expansion valve...

Temperature of fluid stream through tube is a key variable in shell and tube heat exchanger. However, this variable is not easy to measure straightly. Therefore, a state observer is designed to estimate the tube temperature variable for direct control of shell and tube heat exchanger. A dynamical state space model is used to describe the heat exchanger process. Kalman filter based observer is d...
