The aim of this work is to investigate the forced convective heat transfer phenomena and fluid flows water-based Al2O3 nanofluids in baffled shell tubes exchanger (STHE). Water as a hot side tubes, cooling flow side. Numerical investigations have been carried out based on continuity, momentum, energy equations which are solved by using finite element method with help COMSOL 5.4 CFD software. ob...

in order to examine the laminar convective heat transfer of nanofluid, experiments carried out using silver-oil nanofluid in a concentric annulus with outer constant heat flux as boundary condition. silver-oil nanofluid prepared by electrical explosion of wire technique and observed no nanoparticles agglomeration during nanofluid preparation process and carried out experiments. the average size...

Heat exchangers are the important equipments with a variety of industrial applications including power plants, chemical, refrigeration and air conditioning industries. Helically coiled heat exchangers are used in order to obtain a large heat transfer area per unit volume and to enhance the heat transfer coefficient on the inside surface. This paper deals with the CFD simulation of helical coile...

If an air flow is injected into a liquid fluid, many ambulant air bubbles are formed inside the fluid. Air bubbles move inside the liquid fluid because of the buoyancy force, and the mobility of these air bubbles makes sizable commixture and turbulence inside the fluid. This mechanism was employed to enhance the heat transfer rate of a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger in this paper. Howeve...

This study explores the endothermic dehydriding (desorption) reaction that takes place in a high-pressure metal hydride (HPMH) hydrogen storage system when hydrogen gas is released to the fuel cell. The reaction is sustained by circulating warm fluid through a heat exchanger embedded in the HPMH powder. A systematic approach to modeling the dehydriding process is presented, which is validated a...
