Item type:Publication, Rice husk combustion characteristics in a rectangular fluidized-bed combustor with triple pairs of chevron-shaped discrete ribbed walls(2019-09-01); An experimental combustion work using the rice husk as a fuel was performed in a rectangular fluidized bed combustor with triple pairs of chevron-shaped discrete ribbed walls. The effect of percent excess air (EA = 40%-70%) on temperature distribution and gas emissions in a rectangular fluidized-bed combustor on combustion behaviors (temperature distributions inside the bed, exhaust gas emissions and combustion efficiency) is reported. The free-board had a rectangular shape which modified by increasing the chamber size from 300 × 100 mm<sup>2</sup> to 600 × 200 mm<sup>2</sup> or two times of the bottom chamber and 2400 mm in height. Triple pairs of rib configurations, namely, 30° chevron-shaped discrete ribbed walls were introduced and placed in the bottom part of the combustion chamber to generate counter-rotating vortices in the chamber. The results show that the fluidized bed combustor with 30° chevron-shaped discrete ribbed walls at 40% percent excess air provides the higher temperature than other of 861 °C. Among the studied excess air percentages, the highest combustion efficiency of 99.2% is obtained at EA = 60%. In addition, combustion at EA = 60% shows the lowest emissions CO, CO<inf>2</inf>, O<inf>2</inf> and NO<inf>x</inf> of 236.8%Vol, 2.55 ppm, 13.53 %Vol, 110.2 ppm, respectively. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Heat transfer augmentation in a wedge-ribbed channel using winglet vortex generators(2010-02-01); ; Experimental investigations have been carried out to study the effect of combined wedge ribs and winglet type vortex generators (WVGs) on heat transfer and friction loss behaviors for turbulent airflow through a constant heat flux channel. To create a reverse flow in the channel, two types of wedge (right-triangle) ribs are introduced: wedge ribs pointing downstream and pointing upstream. The arrangements of both rib types placed inside the opposite channel walls are in-line and staggered arrays. To generate longitudinal vortex flows through the tested section, two pairs of the WVGs with the attack angle of 60° are mounted on the test channel entrance. The test channel has an aspect ratio, AR = 10 and height, H = 30 mm with a rib height, e/H = 0.2 and rib pitch, P/H = 1.33. The flow rate in terms of Reynolds numbers is based on the inlet hydraulic diameter of the channel ranging from 5000 to 22,000. The presence of the combined ribs and the WVGs shows the significant increase in heat transfer rate and friction loss over the smooth channel. The Nusselt number and friction factor values obtained from combined the ribs and the WVGs are found to be much higher than those from the ribs/WVGs alone. In conjunction with the WVGs, the in-line wedge pointing downstream provides the highest increase in both the heat transfer rate and the friction factor while the staggered wedge pointing upstream yields the best thermal performance. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Item type:Publication, Numerical investigation of laminar heat transfer in a square channel with 45° inclined baffles(2010-02-01); ; A numerical investigation of laminar periodic flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional isothermal-wall square channel fitted with 45° inclined baffles on one channel wall is carried out in the present work. The finite volume method is introduced and the SIMPLE algorithm has been implemented for all computations. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 1200. The 45° baffle mounted only on the lower channel wall has a height of b and an axial pitch length (L) equal to channel height (H). Effects of flow blockage ratios, BR = b/H = 0.1-0.5, on heat transfer and pressure loss in the square channel are examined and also compared with the typical case of the transverse baffle (or 90° baffle). It is found that apart from the rise of Reynolds number, the increase in the blockage ratio with the attack angle (α) of 45° results in considerable increases in the Nusselt number and friction factor values. The use of the 45° baffle can help to generate a streamwise main vortex flow throughout the channel leading to fast and chaotic mixing of flow between the core and the wall regions. In addition, the computational results reveal that the significant increase in heat transfer rate is due to impingement jets induced by a longitudinal vortex pair (P-vortex) of flow, appearing on the upper, lower and baffle trailing end side walls. The appearance of vortex-induced impingement flows created by the baffles leads to the maximum thermal enhancement factor of about 2.2 at BR = 0.4 and Re = 1200. The enhancement factor of the 45° baffle investigated is found to be higher than that of the 90° baffle for all Reynolds numbers and baffle heights. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Item type:Publication, Heat transfer and flowfriction behaviors in a channel with multiple 30° V-ribs(2014-01-01); The paper presents an experimental study on heat transfer and flow friction characteristics in a rectangular channel fitted with periodically rectangular V-ribs. The multiple V-rib turbulators are tested in the channel having an aspect ratio (width to height ratio), AR=10 and height, H= 30 mm, with three rib-to-channel height ratios (e/H=0.2, 0.3, and 0.4), two rib-pitch to channel-height ratios (PR=P<inf>1</inf>/H= 3 and 4) and a single attack angle (α=30°). The upper plate of channel is uniformly heated at a constant heat-flux. The experiment has been conducted by varying airflow velocity in order to obtain the Reynolds number range from 5000 to 24,000. The experimental results show a significant effect of the presence of the ribs on the heat transfer rate and pressure drop over the smooth channel. The measured data indicates that the V-rib turbulators with e/H = 0.4 and PR =3 yields the highest heat transfer rate and friction loss. All the V-rib turbulators perform much higher than the smooth channel with no rib. © 2014 Asian Institute of Technology. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Numerical thermal performance study in a heat exchanger tube with inclined elliptical rings(2017-06-01); The paper deals with a numerical study on the effect of inclined elliptical ring (IER) on heat transfer augmentation in a uniform heat-fluxed heat exchanger tube. In the present work, the 60° IER was mounted repeatedly in the tube with six different eccentricity ratios (E<inf>R</inf> = b/a = 1, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6 and 0.5) at a single ring-pitch ratio P<inf>R</inf> = 1.0. Air as the test fluid flows into the tube for Reynolds number ranging from 4000 to 20,000. To find the optimum thermal performance, the effect of E<inf>R</inf> values on the heat transfer and pressure loss is investigated. The study indicates that the use of IER can induce higher turbulent intensity imparted to the flow leading to higher heat transfer in range of about 237 to 461% above the smooth tube. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Thermal characteristics in turbulent channel flows with V-baffle vortex generators(2014-01-01); ; Eiamsa-Ard, S.Experimental work has been performed to examine the effects of V-baffle vortex generators on the heat transfer and friction characteristics in a channel under a constant heat flux boundary condition. In the experiments, V-baffles at different pitch ratios (PR=P/e = 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0) were carried out. Measurements were carried out for a channel of one aspect ratio, AR = W/H = 4.0 and duct height, H= 40 mm with baffle height, e = 8 mm. Experiments were conducted for the Reynolds number range of 6000 to 22,000. The distributions of temperature and local Nusselt number on bottom channel wall were observed with thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) sheet. Isothermal friction factors were also taken and presented. The obtained results demonstrate that heat transfer increases with the increase of Reynolds number, whereas friction factor (f) shows the opposite trend. Experimental results also show that the channels with V-baffle at the highest pitch ratio (PR = 8.0) provide highest heat transfer than others. © 2014 Asian Institute of Technology. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Periodic laminar flow and heat transfer in a channel with 45° staggered V-baffles(2010-08-01); A numerical investigation has been carried out to examine periodic laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional isothermal wall channel of aspect ratio, AR=2 with 45° staggered V-baffles. The computations are based on the finite volume method, and the SIMPLE algorithm has been implemented. The fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented for Reynolds numbers based on the hydraulic diameter of the channel ranging from 100 to 1200. To generate two pair of main streamwise vortex flows through the tested section, V-baffles with an attack angle of 45° are mounted in tandem and staggered arrangement on the lower and upper walls of the channel. Effects of different baffle heights on heat transfer and pressure drop in the channel are studied and the results of the V-baffle pointing upstream are also compared with those of the V-baffle pointing downstream. It is apparent that in each of the main vortex flows, a pair of streamwise twisted vortex (P-vortex) flows can induce impinging flows on a sidewall and a wall of the interbaffle cavity leading to drastic increase in heat transfer rate over the channel. In addition, the rise in the V-baffle height results in the increase in the Nusselt number and friction factor values. The computational results reveal that the optimum thermal enhancement factor is around 2.6 at baffle height of 0.15. times of the channel height for the V-baffle pointing upstream while is about 2.75 at baffle height of 0.2. times for the V-baffle pointing downstream. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Thermal characterization in a circular tube fitted with inclined horseshoe baffles(2015-01-22); ; In the present study, the influence of inclined horseshoes baffles placed repeatedly in a tubular heat exchanger on heat transfer rate, friction factor and thermal enhancement factor are experimentally determined. The horseshoe baffle elements with an inclination angle of 20° were inserted periodically into the test tube at three different baffle-pitch ratios (P<inf>R</inf> = 0.5, 1.0 and 2) and -width or blockage ratios (B<inf>R</inf> = 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2). The experiment was conducted in the test tube having a uniform heat-fluxed wall by varying turbulent airflow to obtain Reynolds number in a range of 5300-24,000. The experimental results revealed that the tube fitted with inclined horseshoes baffles provides considerable improvement of the heat transfer rate over the plain tube around 92-208% while the friction factor is increased at about 1.76-6.37 times. To access the real benefits for the inclined horseshoes baffles inserted in plain tube, thermal performance factor is examined and found to be in the range of 1.34-1.92 at which the maximum obtained at P<inf>R</inf> = 0.5 and B<inf>R</inf> = 0.1 is considerably higher than that for published inserted devices. Correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor for the oblique horseshoe-baffled tube are also proposed.
