Simulation of temperature and moisture fields around a single borehole ground heat exchanger: effects of moisture migration and groundwater seepage

This paper aims to investigate the effects of moisture migration and groundwater seepage on the heat transfer capacity of ground heat exchangers in stratified soils. A three-dimensional unsteady groundwater flow and heat transport model was established using finite volume method. Sixteen cases with different model considerations and initial soil conditions were simulated based on the proposed model. A group of 8 cases considering only transverse moisture migration and another group considering both transverse and longitudinal moisture migration were compared. The heat and moisture fields after 30 days of operation reveal that considering the change of saturation caused by vertical moisture transfer, the soil temperature field will be affected, but borehole outlet temperature was less influenced. The absolute value of outlet temperature difference between corresponding cases in the two groups is only about 0.2 °C. The position of groundwater seepage and arrangement of unsaturated soil layers with different degrees of saturation on heat transfer capacity of vertical ground heat exchanger were further explored. The results show that the longitudinal moisture migration would be made more influential by the existence of seepage layer, because the average relative deviation of inlet and outlet temperature difference between the corresponding cases of Group 1 and Group 2 was 1.34% when setting seepage layer and was 0.44% when without seepage layer. Heat transfer performance of borehole heat exchanger is also affected by the location of seepage layer. The average relative deviation of inlet and outlet temperature difference between the reference case and cases with seepage in the top, middle and bottom layers is 34.18%, 25.08% and 16.82%, respectively. The arrangement of unsaturated soil layers also has a certain effect. When the soil layer with low degree of saturation is located in the upper layer of soil, heat transfer capacity is better.

     

Heat transfer parameters in fixed bed exchangers

Heat transfer parameters were measured in fixed bed exchangers containing alumina catalyst particles with particle diameter d_p = 3.1 × 10⁻³ m. Different tube diameter (d_t) to particle diameter ratios were used, ranging from 3 to 18. Radial temperature profiles were measured at various axial positions. Results were analysed on the basis of a pseudohomogeneous unidimensional model leading to an overall wall heat transfer coefficient h_w, which showed a maximum value at d_t/d_p ≈ 6. Experimental results were also analysed by means of a pseudohomogeneous bidimensional model from which the wall heat transfer coefficient α_w and the effective radial thermal conductivity κ_er were calculated as a function of the particle Reynolds' number.     

Synthesis of new substituted thiazoles containing aminooxadiazole ring

Heat exchangers of circulating type are used extensively in the heat exchange processes. Circulation of liquid in these devices is ensured by mechanical mixing devices, and heat exchange is enhanced by the increase of the heat exchange surface. The application of the upright heat exchange elements like double pipes providing a cross-flow regime in the device is the most effective. Calculation of the apparatus with the vertical heat-exchange elements for determination of constructive and regime parameters at maximum output of the device was presented.

Enhancement of convective heat transfer in smooth air channels with wall-mounted obstacles in the flow path

The topic is of paramount importance. Heating, cooling, or solar air ducts are used in several sectors and in very diverse fields. The improvement in their performance has been and is still of major concern to theorists and practitioners. The issue of exchanging heat between fluid and the heated surfaces within a smooth air channel relies mainly on the value of the heat transfer coefficient. This coefficient is a mine of factors that affect the heat exchange between working fluid and heated walls. Therefore, it is an ambitious attempt to work on such a topic. Obstacles, such as staggered or in-line, transverse, or longitudinal baffles, fins, or ribs have long been utilized in several thermal systems like shell-and-tube heat exchangers with segmental baffles, compact heat exchangers, flat-plate solar air collectors, microelectronics, and various other industrial applications, because of their high thermal loads and reduced structural parameters. The channels, through which the cooling or heating fluid is supplied, are generally mounted with several obstacles in order to increase the cooling or heating level. This configuration is mostly used in designing heat exchangers and solar air collectors. Through this contribution, we present a comprehensive literature review of the various heat transfer strategies used to improve the performance of smooth air channels (SACs). Various research works were made on (SACs) either numerical or experimental in order to improve their performance. Different models and configurations of obstacles are reviewed and discussed, including attached, semiattached, or detached; parallel, orthogonal or inclined; solid, perforated, or porous; and simple, corrugated, or shaped, of various sizes, positions, attack angles, perforations, porosities, arrangements, and orientations. In these studies, the obstacles are principally used to change the direction of the flow field, to modify the distribution of the local heat transfer coefficient, and also to increase the turbulence levels, thus resulting in larger heat transfer between the fluid and the heated walls.

     

Silver–water nanofluid flow and convective heat transfer in a microfin tube equipped with loose-fit twisted tapes

Heat transfer enhancement and performance of compact heat exchangers have been extensively studied in the past century for the purpose of promoting energy efficiency. Microfin tubes in single/two/multiple-phase flow heat exchangers into which twisted tape swirl generators are installed can promote heat transfer with a moderate pressure loss penalty. This article reports on the enhanced heat transfer of silver–water nanofluids in a microfin tube into which loose-fit twisted tapes are installed in a counter-flow arrangement. The experiments were carried out using nanofluids with various silver concentrations (0.007–0.03 vol%), loose-fit twisted tapes with clearance ratios (c/D) of 0.0 (tight-fit), 0.05, 0.075 and 0.1, for a twist ratio, y/W, of 2.0. The results indicate that the heat transfer rate (Nu) and pressure drop (f) increase with a decrease in clearance ratio (c/D) and increase in silver (Ag) nanoparticle concentration. Additionally, the thermal performance factor tends to increase with the decrease in Reynolds numbers.

     

Thermo-chemical characteristics of R134a flow boiling in helically coiled tubes at low mass flux and low pressure

The characteristics of R134a heat transfer coefficients and wall temperature distribution were investigated under low mass flux and low pressure conditions in a helically coiled tube with heated length of 7070 mm, outer diameter of 10 mm, inner diameter of 7.6 mm, coil diameter of 300 mm and helical pitch of 40 mm. System pressures, mass fluxes and inlet qualities range from 0.20 to 0.75 MPa, 50 to 260 kg/m² s and ?0.18 to 0.40, respectively. It was found that the wall temperatures in descending segments of coiled tube were higher than those of climbing ones, while the heat transfer coefficients varied inversely. Around the section circumference, the outside temperature was lower than the inside one; this is more apparent at very low mass flux and pressure conditions. The heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing mass flux, vapor quality and heat flux. However, the pressure has an indeterminate effect. New heat transfer coefficient correlations for current conditions were developed comparing with existing correlations.     

Le cyclone réacteur IV: Mesure de l'efficacité des transferts de chaleur entre les parois et les phases gazeuse et solide

The purpose of the present paper is the experimental study of different mechanisms of heat transfer for both gas and the solid phases inside a cyclone reactor. The measurements are based on the study of the outlet temperature of the gas and of the particles as a function of the inlet Reynolds number (385–11 000), of the wall temperature (630–1150 K), of the nature of the carrier gas (air, argon, CO₂, (helium) and of the particles (sand, bronze), and of the particle size (radius of particles from 0.1 to 0.5 × 10⁻³ m). It is shown that the particles are heated mainly during their contact with the heated wall and that the efficiency of the wall-particle and wall-carrier gas transfers decrease when the solid flow rate increases. Simple scale-up relationships are proposed to represent the extent of these two mechanisms as a function of operating conditions.     

Modeling Study on the Flow,Heat Transfer and Energy Conversion Characteristics of Low-Power Arc-Heated Hydrogen/Nitrogen Thrusters

A modeling study is conducted to investigate the effect of hydrogen content in propellants on the plasma flow, heat transfer and energy conversion characteristics of low-power (kW class) arc-heated hydrogen/nitrogen thrusters (arcjets). 1:0 (pure hydrogen), 3:1 (to simulate decomposed ammonia), 2:1 (to simulate decomposed hydrazine) and 0:1 (pure nitrogen) hydrogen/nitrogen mixtures are chosen as the propellants. Both the gas flow region inside the thruster nozzle and the anode-nozzle wall are included in the computational domain in order to better treat the conjugate heat transfer between the gas flow region and the solid wall region. The axial variations of the enthalpy flux, kinetic energy flux, directed kinetic-energy flux, and momentum flux, all normalized to the mass flow rate of the propellant, are used to investigate the energy conversion process inside the thruster nozzle. The modeling results show that the values of the arc voltage, the gas axial-velocity at the thruster exit, and the specific impulse of the arcjet thruster all increase with increasing hydrogen content in the propellant, but the gas temperature at the nitrogen thruster exit is significantly higher than that for other three propellants. The flow, heat transfer, and energy conversion processes taking place in the thruster nozzle have some common features for all the four propellants. The propellant is heated mainly in the near-cathode and constrictor region, accompanied with a rapid increase of the enthalpy flux, and after achieving its maximum value, the enthalpy flux decreases appreciably due to the conversion of gas internal energy into its kinetic energy in the divergent segment of the thruster nozzle. The kinetic energy flux, directed kinetic energy flux and momentum flux also increase at first due to the arc heating and the thermodynamic expansion, assume their maximum inside the nozzle and then decrease gradually as the propellant flows toward the thruster exit. It is found that a large energy loss (31–52%) occurs in the thruster nozzle due to the heat transfer to the nozzle wall and too long nozzle is not necessary. Modeling results for the NASA 1-kW class arcjet thruster with hydrogen or decomposed hydrazine as the propellant are found to compare favorably with available experimental data.     

Filler effects of oil droplets on the rheology of heat-set emulsion gels prepared with egg yolk and egg yolk fractions

Hen egg yolk is a traditional ingredient used in a wide variety of food emulsions, especially fluid sauces. Industrial processing of these sauces generally involves heat treatments in order to pasteurise or sterilise them. These heat treatments may cause undesired gelation of the emulsion, because egg yolk proteins are particularly thermosensitive. Heat gelation of oil-in-water emulsions prepared with egg yolk may differ from that of egg yolk solutions, because of the influence of oil droplets on network formation. In this study, we investigated the influence of oil droplets on the gelation of oil-in-water emulsions made with yolk. We studied three pH values: 3.0, 5.0 and 7.0 with a constant NaCl concentration: 0.55 M. Oil droplet size was controlled after emulsification, gelation of solutions and emulsions was monitored in situ by coupling heating with recording viscoelastic properties, and transmission electron microscopy was conducted in heat-set emulsion gels. In an attempt to target the proteins that impose the kinetic of gelation of egg yolk, we repeated the experiment with plasma and granules, the main fractions of yolk. In situ rheology showed that, in our experimental conditions [especially oil volume fraction (0.3) and oil droplet size (d3.2=1 &mgr;m)], emulsions made with yolk and plasma have a similar gelation process with oil droplets acting as inactive fillers. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy showed similar network characteristics between heated emulsions made with yolk and plasma. Moreover, we demonstrated that acidic conditions provided the fastest gelation of yolk solutions and emulsions. On the other hand, in emulsions prepared with granules, oil droplets behaved as active filler particles and reinforced the gel strength.     

Effective waste heat recovery from engine exhaust using fin prolonged heat exchanger with graphene oxide nanoparticles

Waste heat recovery is an important alternative to reduce the energy consumption in industrial processes. Heat Exchangers are used effectively for heat recovery. Thus, the role of heat exchangers for waste heat recovery system is crucial. The exclusive of heat transmission of a heat exchanger can be improved by many methods such as by modifying the geometries and using nano-additives of different concentration. In this continuation, a modified geometry of finned heat exchanger is developed with CFD analysis. Modified heat exchanger includes the fins in the internal pipe to improve heat transfer. Nanoparticles of graphene oxide with various concentrations are introduced in working fluid. A steady numerical study is performed by using ANSYS Fluent with k-omega turbulence model for exhaust flow. Variation at inlet velocities of exhaust gas and water, particles concentration and internal fin geometry are considered. The reduction in hot fluid temperature from 6 m/s to 2 m/s enhanced the effectiveness by approximately 33.3%. The decrease in hot fluid velocity to 2 m/s and 6 m/s can reduce its outlet temperature by 100 K and 14 K at 0.03 m/s cold fluid temperature. The inclusion of nanoparticles at 0.1% can enhance the effectiveness by maximum of 7%.     

Effect of annealing conditions on the structure of drawn nylon 66 yarns

Differences in structural parameters, shrinkage, and retractive forces have been compared for nylon 66 tire yarns annealed at several temperatures in silicone oil and in air. It is found that significantly different structural changes occur for oil-annealing and air-annealing. Retractive forces measured in hot oil are characterized by a high initial force, followed by a rapid decay and a second, more gradual, increase which is also followed by a decay at sufficiently high temperatures. In heated air, the first, short-term, retractive force is absent. It is postulated that these differences are due to the different rates of heat transfer at gas–solid and at liquid–solid interfaces, and that rapid heat transfer (as in the case of oil-annealing) promotes two mechanisms of molecular change which are characterized by different degrees of structural parameter change, and by different amounts of shrinkage.     

Photocured characteristics of fast photocurable acrylic formulations and investigations by differential photo calorimeter

Nanofluids are obtained by suspending metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles in conventional base liquids and can be employed to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. In this study, the effects of adding three types of nanofluids on turbulent convective heat transfer at the entrance region of a constant wall heat flux tube were experimentally studied. The nanofluids were mixtures of aluminium oxide, copper oxide, and silicon carbide at various nanoparticle volume fractions ranging from 0.0002 to 0.002 in water. The convective heat transfer coefficient was measured at different Reynolds numbers of 10,000–50,000. At these concentrations and Reynolds numbers, a maximum of 11–18% of convection heat transfer coefficient was observed as compared to the base fluid, showing a 6–9% increase on average. In this study, it was observed that changes in the nanoparticle type had no considerable effect on heat transfer coefficient increase. According to the model proposed here, the dimensionless thickness of laminar sub-layer is specified as a functional equation of the volume fraction of nanoparticles for each material.

Distribution of local heat transfer coefficient values in the wall region of an agitated vessel

Experimentally found local heat transfer coefficients are analyzed as a function of the measuring point on the heat transfer surface area of the agitated vessel wall and of the impeller eccentricity. Eccentric Rushton turbine and A 315 impeller are considered. Local heat transfer coefficients were measured by means of the computer-aided electrochemical method. The measurements were performed in an agitated vessel with inner diameter 0.3 m, filled with liquid up to the height equal to the vessel diameter. The experiments were carried out within the turbulent regime of the Newtonian liquid flow in the agitated vessel. The results were compared with the data obtained for the agitated vessel equipped with an eccentrically located axial flow propeller or an HE 3 impeller. Experimental studies show that the distributions of the heat transfer coefficient values depend on the impeller eccentricity, impeller type and the direction of the liquid circulation in the agitated vessel.

Characterization of Simultaneous Heat and Mass Transfer Phenomena for Water Vapour Condensation on a Solid Surface in an Abiotic Environment—Application to Bioprocesses

The phenomenon of heat and mass transfer by condensation of water vapour from humid air involves several key concepts in aerobic bioreactors. The high performance of bioreactors results from optimised interactions between biological processes and multiphase heat and mass transfer. Indeed in various processes such as submerged fermenters and solid-state fermenters, gas/liquid transfer need to be well controlled, as it is involved at the microorganism interface and for the control of the global process. For the theoretical prediction of such phenomena, mathematical models require heat and mass transfer coefficients. To date, very few data have been validated concerning mass transfer coefficients from humid air inflows relevant to those bioprocesses. Our study focussed on the condensation process of water vapour and developed an experimental set-up and protocol to study the velocity profiles and the mass flux on a small size horizontal flat plate in controlled environmental conditions. A closed circuit wind tunnel facility was used to control the temperature, hygrometry and hydrodynamics of the flow. The temperature of the active surface was controlled and kept isothermal below the dew point to induce condensation, by the use of thermoelectricity. The experiments were performed at ambient temperature for a relative humidity between 35?C65% and for a velocity of 1.0?ms^?1. The obtained data are analysed and compared to available theoretical calculations on condensation mass flux.     

Development of a simple gradient LC-IR interface for the detection of terpenoids from the alpha-pinene-ozone reaction

The development of a simple interface between liquid chromatography and infrared spectroscopy (LC-IR) using a coaxial sprayer is described for less volatile analytes. The system consists of a transfer capillary, in which the analytes are transported from the separation column of the gradient-LC to the outlet of the sprayer. This transfer capillary is coaxially surrounded at the outlet by a stainless steel sprayer capillary, which is resistively heated and flushed with nitrogen gas. The samples are sprayed in the manner that the eluent is vaporized by the heated nitrogen when exiting the capillary, while the analytes are deposited on a moving slide made of infrared transparent material (ZnSe or CaF2). Afterwards the deposited compounds are analyzed with an infrared microscope in transmission. First results from reaction products of the gas phase reaction of alpha-pinene with ozone are presented.     

Experimental Study of Halloysite Nanofluids in Pool Boiling Heat Transfer

Halloysite nanotube (HNT) which is cheap, natural, and easily accessible 1D clay, can be used in many applications, particularly heat transfer enhancement. The aim of this research is to study experimentally the pool boiling heat transfer (PBHT) performance of novel halloysite nanofluids at atmospheric pressure condition from typical horizontal heater. The nanofluids are prepared from halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) nanomaterials-based deionized water (DI water) with the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to control pH = 12 to obtain stable nanofluid. The nanofluids were prepared with dilute volume concentrations of 0.01–0.5 vol%. The performance of PBHT is studied via pool boiling curve and pool boiling heat transfer coefficient (PBHTC) from the typical heater which is the copper horizontal tube with a thickness of 1 mm and a diameter of 22 mm. The temperatures of the heated tube surface are measured to obtain the PBHTC. The results show an improvement of PBHTC for halloysite nanofluids compared to the base fluid. At 0.05 vol% concentration, HNT nanofluid has the best enhancement of 5.8% at moderate heat flux (HF). This indicates that HNT is a potential material in heat transfer applications.
