    Junhui Li1, Xuanzhong Luo1,2, Changxing Ge3, Cuiping Li1,*, Changrong Wang4

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.4, pp. 869-893, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2024.029722

    Abstract Peak load and wind energy emission pressure rise more as wind energy penetration keeps growing, which affects the stabilization of the PS (power system). This paper suggests integrated optimal dispatching of thermal power generators and BESS (battery energy storage system) taking wind energy emission grading punishment and deep peak clipping into consideration. Firstly, in order to minimize wind abandonment, a hierarchical wind abandonment penalty strategy based on fuzzy control is designed and introduced, and the optimal grid-connected power of wind energy is determined as a result of minimizing the peak cutting cost of the system. Secondly, considering BESS and thermal… More > Graphic Abstract

    NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TURBULENT FLOW IN A RECTANGULAR CHANNEL WITH PERIODICALLY MOUNTED LONGITUDINAL VORTEX GENERATORS

    Pankaj Sahaa, Gautam Biswasa,b,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 1-5, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.3.3008

    Abstract Detailed flow structure in turbulent flows through a rectangular channel containing built-in winglet type vortex generators have been analyzed by means of solutions of the full Navier-Stokes equations using a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) technique. The Reynolds number of investigation is 6000. The geometry of interest consists of a rectangular channel with a built-in winglet pair on the bottom wall with common-flow-down arrangement. The winglet pair induces streamwise longitudinal vortices behind it. The vortices swirl the flow around the axis parallel to the mainstream direction and disrupt the growth of thermal boundary layer entailing enhancement of heat transfer. The influence of… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.5, pp. 1-15, 2014, DOI:10.5098/hmt.5.19

    Abstract 3D numerical investigations for heat transfer characteristics and flow configurations in a fin–and-oval-tube heat exchanger with V-tip pointing downstream delta winglet pairs (DDWP) are examined. The DDWPs are placed on the fin surface with pointing downstream and the oval tube row number is set at three in a staggered arrangement. The flow attack angles (θ = 15°, 30°, 45° and 60°) and the distance from V-tip to the oval tube center in transverse axis (a = 3.77, 4.77 and 5.77 mm) are investigated for Reynolds number based on hydraulic diameter, Re = 500 – 2500. The numerical results are compared… More >

    Amnart Boonloi*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.5, pp. 1-12, 2014, DOI:10.5098/hmt.5.8

    Abstract A mathematical analysis of the heat transfer enhancement, thermal performance and flow configurations in a heat exchanger square duct with diagonal inserted plate vortex generators is presented. The 30o V–shaped baffles are modified and placed on the double sides of the thin plate or frame (with no plate) which inserted diagonally in the square duct. The effects of blockage ratio (b/H, BR), the pitch ratio (p/H, PR), flow direction (V–Downstream and V–Upstream) and configuration of inserting plate are investigated for Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of the square duct, Dh, Re = 100 – 2000.

    Numerical Study on the Effect of Vortex Generators on the Aerodynamic Drag of a High-Speed Train

    Tian Li1,2,*, Hao Liang1, Zerui Xiang2, Jiye Zhang1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 463-473, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.043618

    Abstract A relatively high aerodynamic drag is an important factor that hinders the further acceleration of high-speed trains. Using the shear stress transport (SST) k-ω turbulence model, the effect of various vortex generator types on the aerodynamic characteristics of an ICE2 (Inter-city Electricity) train has been investigated. The results indicate that the vortex generators with wider triangle, trapezoid, and micro-ramp arranged on the surface of the tail car can significantly change the distribution of surface pressure and affect the vorticity intensity in the wake. This alteration effectively reduces the resistance of the tail car. Meanwhile, the micro-ramp vortex generator with its… More > Graphic Abstract

    Optimal Design of Porous Media in Solar Vapor Generators by Carbon Fiber Bundles

    Mohammad Yaghoub Abdollahzadeh Jamalabadi, Jinxiang Xi*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 65-79, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.042613

    Abstract As a means of harvesting solar energy for water treatment, solar-driven vapor generation is becoming more appealing. Due to their entangled fibrous networks and high surface area, fibers can be used as building blocks to generate water vapor. In this paper, using a two-dimensional fiber bundle model, we studied the generation of solar vapor based on the fiber height, distance between fibers, and input sun radiation. The performance of solar absorption system was also evaluated by evaluating thermal and water management. Results showed a constant increase in solar vapor generation with an increasing fiber height and decreasing inter-fiber distance. However,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract In the present experimental investigation, ethylene glycol cooling in a plate-fin heat sink was attached inside an aluminum cooling block for the cooling unit of a thermoelectric (TE) power generator system. The plate-fin heat sink with two different fin heights was made from aluminum with length, width and base thickness of 300, 200, and 25 mm, respectively. The ethylene glycol was used as a coolant. The effects of fin height, coolant volume flow rate, and hot side surface temperature were considered for the temperature differences between the hot side surface and cold side surface of the TE power module.

    Ali Jaber Abdulhamed1,*, Aws Al-Akam1, Ahmed A. Abduljabbar2, Mohammed H. Alkhafaji3

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.8, pp. 1729-1746, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.029069

    Abstract Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are considered promising devices for waste heat recovery from various systems. The Seebeck effect can be utilized to generate power using the residual heat emitted by the filter dryer receiver (FDR) of an air conditioning (A/C) system, which would otherwise go to waste. The study aims to build a set of thermoelectric generators (TEG) to collect the waste heat of the FDR and generate low-power electricity. A novel electrical circuit with two transformers is designed and fabricated to produce a more stable voltage for operation and charging. The thermoelectric generator (TEGs) was installed on the FDR of… More >
