Sinusoidal Excitation

Transient temperature response of crossflow heat exchangers with both fluids unmixed and finite wall capacitance is investigated numerically for sinusoidal excitation provided in hot fluid inlet temperature. The effect of two-dimensional longitudinal conduction in separating sheet and the axial dispersion in fluids has also been considered on the thermal performance of the heat exchanger. The present method has good accuracy and simplicity. An attempt has also been made to study the performance of the sinusoidal excitation in the graphical form.

Transient Temperature Response

Transient temperature response of the crossflow heat exchangers with finite wall capacitance and both fluids unmixed is investigated numerically for step, ramp and exponential perturbations provided in hot fluid inlet temperature. Effect of two-dimensional longitudinal conduction in separating sheet and axial dispersion in fluids on the transient response has been investigated. Conductive heat transport due to presence of axial dispersion in fluids have been analyzed in detail and shown that presence of axial dispersion in both of the fluid streams neutralizes the total conductive heat transport during the energy balance. It has also been shown that the presence of axial dispersion of high order reduces the effect of longitudinal conduction.

Transient Temperature Response

A transient temperature response of three-fluid heat exchangers with finite and large capacitance of the separating sheets is investigated numerically for step, ramp, exponential, and sinusoidal perturbations provided in the central (hot) fluid inlet temperature. The effect of two-dimensional longitudinal conduction in the separating sheet and of axial dispersion in the fluids on the transient response has been investigated. A comparison of the dynamic behavior of four possible arrangements of three-fluid crossflow heat exchangers has also been presented.

Transient Temperature Response

The transient temperature response is of great importance for evaluating the thermal capacity of ground heat exchangers (GHE). Based on the composition line source theory and superposition principle, we have developed a novel analytical model in Laplace space for calculating the temperature transient response. In comparison to the existing models, this proposed model can account for the fluid thermal storage effect and heat rate difference between the two legs of the single U-tube. With the aid of this proposed model, we conduct a thorough sensitivity analysis to investigate the effects of different influencing factors on the thermal transient response. The calculated results show that fluid thermal storage and the rate difference can significantly influence the thermal response during the early studied period. Therefore, the effect of fluid thermal storage should not be neglected when the early-time thermal response is investigated. The thermal interference between the two legs will reduce the heat capacity of GHEs. A large distance between these two legs can be favorable for practical use.

Flow Maldistribution

Transient analysis helps us to predict the behavior of heat exchangers subjected to various operational disturbances due to sudden change in temperature or flow rates of the working fluids. The present experimental analysis deals with the effect of flow distribution on the transient temperature response for U-type and Z-type plate heat exchangers. The experiments have been carried out with uniform and nonuniform flow distributions for various flow rates. The temperature responses are analyzed for various transient characteristics, such as initial delay and time constant. It is also possible to observe the steady state characteristics after the responses reach asymptotic values. The experimental observations indicate that the Z-type flow configuration is more strongly affected by flow maldistribution compared to the U-type in both transient and steady state regimes. The comparison of the experimental results with numerical solution indicates that it is necessary to treat the flow maldistribution separately from axial thermal dispersion during modeling of plate heat exchanger dynamics.
