Flower baffle heat exchanger’s structure and design idea is introduced. Flower baffle heat exchanger has unique support structure. It can both enhance the efficiency of the heat transfer and reduce the pressure drop. Through the experimental study, under the same shell side flow, the heat transfer coefficient K which the distance between two flower baffles is 134mm is higher 3%~9% than the one of which the distances between two flower baffles are 163mm,123mm. The heat transfer coefficient K which the distance between two flower baffles is 147mm is close to the one of which the distances between two flower baffles is 134mm. The shell volume flow V is higher, the incremental quantity of heat transfer coefficient K is more. The integrated performance K/Δp of flower baffle heat exchanger which the distance between two flower baffles is 134mm is higher 3%~9% than the one of which the distances between two flower baffles are 163mm,123mm. Therefore, the best distance between two flower baffles exists between 134mm~147mm this experiment.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

We have been developing a free convection air cooled heat exchanger without power supply to improve economic efficiency and mechanical reliability. However, this heat exchanger requires a larger installation area than the forced draft type air cooled heat exchanger since a large heating surface is needed to compensate for the small heat transfer by natural convection. Therefore, we have been investigating a heat exchanger consisting of an array of finned tubes and chimney to increase the heat transfer coefficient. Since the heat transfer characteristics of finned tube arrays have not been clarified, we conducted experiments with a finned tube array to determine the relation between the configuration of finned tubes and the heat transfer coefficient of a tube array. The results showed that the average heat transfer coefficient increased with pitch in the vertical direction, and became constant when the pitch was over five times the fin diameter. The average heat transfer coefficient was about 1.4 times higher than that of a single finned tube in free space. The ratio of the average heat transfer coefficient of the finned tube array with chimney to that of a single finned tube was found to be independent of the difference in temperature between the tube surface and air.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Regenerative heat exchangers have disadvantages such as low heat transfer coefficient from the nozzle to the gas and high hydraulic resistance due to the design of the nozzles. Wire-mesh nozzles can eliminate these shortcomings of regenerators. Wire-mesh nozzles have low hydraulic resistance and large heat transfer surface. The process of heat and mass transfer in a regenerative heat exchanger is considered. A series of numerical simulation experiments was performed. Theoretically, the optimal configuration of the nozzle was calculated: a plain weave mesh with a wire diameter of 0.4 mm, a weaving step of 2 mm, and a step of placing nets of 1 mm. The operational modes for the regenerator are considered, taking into account the period for drying the nozzle from moisture and the maximum mass of water that can hold the nozzle without the formation of drops. Given the condensation of moisture on the nozzle, the following assumptions are made: There is no temperature and concentration inhomogeneity in the cross section of the regenerator channel; The effect of thermal conductivity in the axial direction in contact between the nozzle elements on the temperature profile of the nozzle is insignificant; The time over which the regenerator is operated between the nozzle drying periods is quite short, and the thickness of the condensate layer does not affect the hydrodynamic mode of the heat regeneration process and the value of the heat transfer coefficient. The duration of the cooling and drying period depends on the humidity of the inlet air and the area of the nozzle. This is due to the need to prevent the accumulation of moisture in the device, which can lead to the reproduction of harmful bacteria and contamination of the nozzle. In the SolidWorks Flow Simulation application, simulation experiments were performed for a regenerator model accounting for the influence of compressed air motion resulting from grouped location of the nozzle elements, and the results are shown in the figures. Comparison of the results from analytical calculations and simulation experiments showed the efficiency of the mathematical model and the possibility of its use in the design calculation of regenerators. Correlation dependences have been established to determine the heat transfer coefficient and hydraulic resistance depending on the hydrodynamic conditions. The mathematical and physical model taking into account the condensation of moisture on the nozzle has been specified. Calculations have been performed for the optimal nozzle made in the form of a plain weave mesh with a wire diameter of 0.4 mm, a weaving step of 2 mm, and a step of placing nets of 1 mm.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The paper provides the results of experimental and theoretical test of a wavy fin and tube heat exchanger used to cool air in a ventilation system when the wavy fin of the heat exchanger is dry and wet. The experimental tests, performed in the range of 1000<Re<4500 of the Reynolds number applying LMTD-LMED methodology, determined the dependency of the heat transfer coefficient on the supplied air flow rate with the varying geometry of the heat exchanger (the number of tube rows, the distance between fins, the thickness of the fin and the diameter of the tube). The experimental tests were performed on 9 heat exchangers in heating and 6 heat exchangers in cooling mode. After processing the results of the experimental tests, empirical equation defining the characteristics of the heat transfer coefficient of all heat exchangers were derived. The maximum heat transfer coefficient deviation is 11.6 percent. The correction factor of the wet fin (Lewis number) depending on the number of Reynolds, which ranges from 0.75 to 1.1 also is determined. Maximum capacity deviation equals 3.7 percent. The obtained equations can only be applied to a certain group of heat exchangers (with the same shape of fins or the distance between the tubes). The results of the experimental test and simulation with ANSYS program are compared and the heat transfer coefficients vary from 6.5 to 11.4 percent.

In this study, investigation of convective heat transfer enhancement with the use of CuO–Polyaniline (CuO–PANI) nanocomposite basednanofluid inside vertical helically coiled tube heat exchanger was carried out experimentally. In these experiments, the effects of different parameters such as Reynolds number and volume % of CuO–PANI nanocomposite in nanofluid on the heat transfer coefficient of base fluid have been studied. In order to study the effect of CuO–PANI nanocomposite based nanofluid on heat transfer, CuO nanoparticles loaded in PANI were synthesized in the presence of ultrasound assisted environment at different loading concentration of CuO nanoparticles (1, 3 and 5 wt.%). Then the nanofluids were prepared at different concentrations of CuO–PANI nanocomposite using water as a base fluid. The 1 wt.% CuO–PANI nanocomposite was selected for the heat transfer study for nanofluid concentration in the range of 0.05 to 0.3 volume % and Reynolds number range of was 1080 to 2160 (±5). Around 37 % enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was observed for 0.2 volume % of 1 wt.% CuO–PANI nanocomposite in the base fluid. In addition, significant enhancement in the heat transfer coefficient was observed with an increase in the Reynolds number and percentage loading of CuO nanoparticle in Polyaniline (PANI).

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Experimental studies of multi-row plate-fin heat exchangers show that the highest average heat transfer coefficient on the air side occurs in the first row of tubes when the air velocity in front ofthe exchanger is less thanapproximately 3.5 m/s. In the subsequent rows of tubes up to about the fourth row the heat transfer coefficient decreases. In the fifth and further rows, it can be assumed that the heat transfer coefficient is equal in each tube row. It is necessary to find the relationships fortheair–side Nusselt number on each tube row to design a plate–fin and tube heat exchanger(PFTHE) with the appropriate number of tube rows. The air–side Nusselt number correlations canbe determined experimentally or by CFD modeling (Computational and Fluid Dynamics). The paper presents a newmathematical model of the transient operation of PFTHE, considering that the Nusselt numbers on the air side of individual tube rows are different. The heat transfer coefficient on an analyzed tube row was determined from the equality condition of mass– average air temperature differences on agiven tube row determined using the analytical formula and CFD modeling. The results of numerical modelingwere compared with the results of the experiments.
