Abstract
The present investigations put forth the development of a novel double wall vented rotary fluid heating device. In this device, water is used as a process fluid and is heated by the combustion of sugarcane bagasse. The proposed combustion method is found to provide the use of a more systematic fuel transport system and ensure the efficient heat transfer process to the fluid. It is observed to offer many advantages over the conventional furnaces and obviates the use of any mechanized system such as traveling grate, fluidized bed system, dumping grate, etc. in conventional systems. Also, the heat liberated in combustion is used effectively for heating fluid through a helical coiled tube mounted over the surface of the drum. The present study aims to assess the thermal performance of the proposed rotary combustion chamber at different experimental parameters. It was concluded to have a maximum temperature rise, and the thermal efficiency of this system at 45.3C and 45.2% when drum speed is 6 RPM at Reynolds number equal to 1176.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Thermal Enginering is aimed at giving a recognized platform to students, researchers, research scholars, teachers, authors and other professionals in the field of research in Thermal Engineering subjects, to publish their original and current research work to a wide, international audience. In order to achieve this goal, we will have applied for SCI-Expanded Index in 2021 after having an Impact Factor in 2020. The aim of the journal, published on behalf of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul-Turkey, is to not only include actual, original and applied studies prepared on the sciences of heat transfer and thermodynamics, and contribute to the literature of engineering sciences on the national and international areas but also help the development of Mechanical Engineering. Engineers and academicians from disciplines of Power Plant Engineering, Energy Engineering, Building Services Engineering, HVAC Engineering, Solar Engineering, Wind Engineering, Nanoengineering, surface engineering, thin film technologies, and Computer Aided Engineering will be expected to benefit from this journal’s outputs.
