The deterioration of the performance of a cross flow heat exchanger with condensation due to the longitudinal conduction was investigated. For a relatively small change of wall temperature along the flow directions which was shown to be common in many applications, the energy equations were solved numerically. An iterative method was used to solve the resulting equations of the finite differenc...

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...

Customarily, the LMTD correction factor, FT, is used to screen alternative designs for a heat exchanger. Designs with unacceptably low FT values are discarded. In this paper, authors have proposed a more fundamental criterion, based on feasibility of a multipass exchanger as the only criteria, followed by economic optimization. This criterion, coupled with asymptotic energy targets, provide the...

Compact heat exchangers (CHE) are very well known for their special design which includes high heat transfer coefficient and maximum temperature driving force between the hot and cold fluids. The accurate prediction of the thermal performance of a compact heat exchanger in the design stage is highly desirable for most aerospace applications. In the present study, the numerical investigation for...

Waste heat recovery is very important, because not only it reduces the expenditure of heat generation, but also it is of high priority in environmental consideration, such as reduction in greenhouse gases. One of the devices is used in waste heat recovery is heat pipe heat exchanger.Anexperimental research has been carried out to investigate the hydrodynamic and thermal performance of a gas...

Oil refinery is one of industries that require huge energy consumption. The today technology advance requires energy saving. Heat integration is a method used to minimize the energy comsumption though the implementation of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN). CPT is one of types of Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) that functions to recover the heat in the flow of product or waste. HEN comprises a number o...

Background: Sports, hypothermia and hyperthermia as some stressors inhibit male reproductive functions and are associated with subfertility or infertility. We investigated whether water temperature and chronic swimming are effective on mouse sperm parameters. Materials and Methods: Adult male mouse(N=35) were randomly divided into 7 groups: 1-controls 2-cold water (100C) with swimming 3- cold w...

Many studies are performed by researchers about Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger but the Multi-Objective Big Bang-Big Crunch algorithm (MOBBA) technique has never been used in such studies. This paper presents application of Thermal-Economic Multi-Objective Optimization of Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Using MOBBA. For optimal design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, it was first thermally model...

introduction: indoor swimming pools are the most important recreational centres. swimming pool water is responsible for the transmission of parasitic diseases. this study was performed to determine the rate of parasitic contamination and some physio- chemical parameters of indoor swimming pools in urmia during 2002. materials and methods: this study was a descriptive-cross sectional one in whic...

Swimming pool surveillance systems plays an essential role in safeguarding the premises. The main purpose of this project is to design a safety swimming pool. We present in this paper human movement approach to detection of drowning incidents in swimmingpools at the earliest possible stage.This is done by preventing the children from drowning in the swimming pool by lifting the iron plate.The p...
