Study of Pressure Drop, Friction Factor& Heat Transfer Characteristics of Flat Rectangular Tube type Heat Exchanger Using CFD. A Review

ABSTRACT

This paper mainly focus on the different views and flows of flat rectangular tube heat exchangers using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This literature review consists of flattened tubes with triangular cross-sections. The importance of heat exchangers has been increasing in automobile industry, aerospace industries and other industries for over fifty years due to several reasons specified below. A CFD methodology is used to get different curvature ratio of the amount of heat that is transferred, those characteristics can be found using ANSYS FLUENT 13.0. Normally, rectangular heat exchangers …show more content…

[2], conducted an experimental investigation of water flow through different shapes of microchannel cross section including circular, rectangular, trapezoidal and triangular. The hydraulic diameter of microchannels varied from 8 um to 42 um. They collected experimental data with the Reynolds number ranging from 0:1 to 2, and concluded that there was less influence of the cross-sectional shape on the microflow in the microchannel and the experiment data agreed well with the prediction of the convention theory. Baviere et. al. [24], performed an experimental study on the water flow through smooth …show more content…

It is also o shows that flow with high Reynolds Number is having higher Nusselt Number compare to the flow with lower Reynolds Number. It also observed that drop in Nusselt Number is more in the entry region and it becomes less in the exit region of the channel.

5.VARIATION OF PRESSURE DROP WITH RESPECT TO HYDRAULIC DIAMETER(Pascal)

Fig 5.1 : Pressure drop vs Hydraulic diameter

S.NO Hydraulic diameter (um) Pressure drop (kpa)

L=20mm L=30mm

1 50 200 400

2 66.67 450 900

3 75 200 550

From the figure [3] it is seen that for given hydraulic diameter, the pressure drop chances is more for larger channel length. It also observed that the variation of decrease in pressure at different levels at different hydraulic diameters are showing same trend for different channel length.

    In my hometown of Waterdown Ontario, there is rarely a minute when the main downtown area is not buzzing with people. In my opinion, the downtown area of Waterdown is alive and lively. Whether people are shopping in one of the variety of stores, grabbing a bite to eat at one of the numerous restaurants or cafés or just driving through, downtown is easily the focal point of town and continues to increase in chaos as Waterdown continues to grow and suburbanize. In Waterdown, the downtown core is where almost every shop and store is located. If you want to do anything from buy groceries to take a pottery class, you do so downtown.

    On February 26, 1972 the Buffalo creek community was destroyed by a terrible flood. The flood caused many tears, pain and death. In the blink of an eye, people’s lives completely changed; lives were lost, houses were gone and families were destroyed. Buffalo Creek is one of the mountain hollows in West Virginia on the edge of the Appalachians, near the Guyandotte River. The land used to grow warm green grass, but overtime the land became a dark place with debris from mine operation spills.

    Throughout the centuries, humans have been attempting to find a way to power homes, cars, and other luxuries in the most efficient way possible. Coal and oil were two major sources that begin being exploited during the industrial revolution. Both have caused great controversy over the years from lawsuits to strikes. A new way to drill oil, hydraulic fracturing, was discovered and was an efficient means of drilling until its effects became prevalent. Also, when coal began to run out, a new method called mountaintop removal took hold, but continues to damage the earth.

    Runoff, a common problem in many areas, has many causes. These causes, although sometimes avoidable,such as pollution, it can be repaired. As pollution and erosion, two of the main topics in this paper, affect the water quality, the agents aiding the processes are unstoppable. While agents are unstoppable, runoff is still controllable as far as the rate of runoff. When writing a paper such as this, the many information collected is shown in separate paragraphs, corresponding to the ideas.

    Moonshine, white lightning, mountain dew, hooch, homebrew, and white whiskey are terms used to describe high-proof distilled spirits that are generally produced illicitly. Moonshine is typically made with corn mash as the main ingredient. Liquor-control laws in the United States that prohibit moonshining, once consisting of a total ban under the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, now center primarily on evasion of revenue taxation on spiritous and/or intoxicating liquors, and are enforced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the United States Department of the Treasury; such enforcers of these laws are known by the often derisive nickname of "revenooers".

    Infer why the current that was created during this lab is called a convection current. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid when hotter, less dense water, moves upward, and colder, denser water, moves downward. I infer that the current that was created during this lab is called a convection current because the colder, denser water, moved beneath the hot water, causing the hot water to move upward. 4. How does this experiment demonstrate water density?

    The user controls the pulsation frequency $f_p$, through the motor speed $\omega_m$, and the mean pressure $p_M$, through the pressure regulator in the inlet line. The pressure amplitude $p_A$, on the other hand, depends on the facility line-cavity behavior. As shown in Fig.\ref{fig:2b}, the relative pressure amplitude $\hat{p}_A= p_A/p_M$ decreases when increasing mean pressure and the pulsation frequency, though asymptotically approaching a constant

  • David Foster Wallace This Is Water Analysis

    435 Words  | 2 Pages

    Essayist and Novelist David Foster Wallace, in his speech, “This is Water,” defends the true purpose of a liberal arts education, and emphasizes the necessity of thinking the right way in life. Wallace attempts to create a humble, personal tone through the use of informal diction, ethical appeals, and personal encounters in order to connect with his audience and shift them to see that they are not alone in this struggle, and they must prevail in order to truly be “living.” Wallace’s argument is successful due to the implementations of this tone, ethical appeals, and repetition of purposeful phrases. Wallace’s informal or low diction is shown through the use of words such as, “finger wagging,” “bullshit,” and, “god-damn people.” The effect of these words is the creation of a laid back, personable tone that ensures the audience does not feel like Wallace is “preaching” to them or giving them “moral advice.”

    Von Mises [3] states that “the forces due to viscosity appear as products of μ and expressions that have the dimensions area times (velocity / length)”. By further investigation, the mathematical analysis of these principles leads to a system of partial derivatives known as the Navier-Stokes equations. These equations are used to describe fluid flow and can be used to solve specific dynamic fluid flow cases. These include; velocities, pressure, temperature, density and can also be used to solve viscous problems of a dynamic fluid flow problems. These partial derivative equations relating to the specific variables are extremely complex and time-consuming to
