    An Experimental and Numerical Thermal Flow Analysis in a Solar Air Collector with Different Delta Wing Height Ratios

    Ghobad Shafiei Sabet1,*, Ali Sari1, Ahmad Fakhari2,*, Nasrin Afsarimanesh3, Dominic Organ4, Seyed Mehran Hoseini1

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.2, pp. 491-509, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.048290 - 20 May 2024

    Abstract This study conducts both numerical and empirical assessments of thermal transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a Solar Air Collector (SAC) using a Delta Wing Vortex Generator (DWVG), and the effects of different height ratios (R = 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2 and 1.4) in delta wing vortex generators, which were not considered in the earlier studies, are investigated. Energy and exergy analyses are performed to gain maximum efficiency. The Reynolds number based on the outlet velocity and hydraulic diameter falls between 4400 and 22000, corresponding to the volume flow rate of 5.21–26.07 m/h. It is More >

    STUDY ON HEAT TRANSFER AUGMENTATION IN AN AIR HEATER USING RECTANGULAR WAVY FIN TURBULATORS

    Nitesh Kumar, Shiva Kumar*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.19, pp. 10-11, 2022, DOI:10.5098/hmt.19.10

    Abstract In the present study, the use of wavy fin turbulators on the annulus body of a double pipe air heater has been numerically investigated. The inner pipe consists of hot water whereas the annular section consists of cold air whose Reynolds Number (Re) ranged from 3000-15,000. Rectangular crosssectioned wavy fin turbulators with various curvature ratios of 2, 3, 5, and 7.5 is numerically simulated to investigate the influence of curvature effects on turbulence. Results have been compared with the bare pipe and with rectangular straight fins. It is seen that wavy fin turbulators perform better More >
