Out of many solar thermal system, Solar air heaters (SAHs) are frequently regarded as the most economical and practical method of heating and drying indoor spaces. Due to its poor performance and minimal heat transfer capacity, its applicability in certain circumstances is quite limited. In this paper, an effort has been made to improve the heat transfer efficiency of SAH by utilizing hybrid ribs. Hybrid rib roughnesses are designed to integrate V-shaped ribs downstream of arc-shaped ribs and were experimentally tested in the SAH duct at Reynolds numbers (RN) between 2000 and 16,000. The various roughness pattern i.e. arc angle (α), relative V ribs position (d/w), relative rib pitch (p/e) and relative rib height (e/Dh) have been exploited in the range of 30º-75º, 0.2–0.8, 8–14 and 0.036–0.056, respectively. As a result, maximum enhancement in NuNu has been found as 3.75 at α = 45º, d/w = 0.5, p/e = 12, e/D = 0.056.

Solar air heaters (SAHs) are among the best options for harnessing solar energy for thermal purposes like heating and drying. However, the performance of SAH is not sufficient to take into practical applications. Low performance of SAH is due to its low convective heat transfer capability because of smooth absorber plate. In this regard, an attempt has been made to enhance the heat transfer capability of SAH exploiting hybrid ribs in this paper. Hybrid rib roughness pattern incorporating to V shape ribs and arc shape ribs has been designed and tested experimentally in the SAH duct under the following range of Reynolds number (Re) from 2000 to 16,000. The various roughness patterns, i.e., arc angle (α), angle of attack (β), relative V ribs position (d/w), relative rib pitch (p/e), and relative rib height (e/D), have been exploited in the range of 30º-75º, 30º-75º, 0.2–0.10, 8–10, and 0.023–0.043, respectively. As a result, Nusselt number (Nu) and friction factor (f) have been enhanced significantly. Maximum enhancement in Nu has been found as 3.08 at α = 45º, β = 60º, d/w = 0.65, p/e = 10, and e/D = 0.043.

The effects of the wire coils (WC) with nanofluids on the hydrothermal performance of this system are studied for different coil arrangements: converging wire coils (CWC), diverging wire coils (DWC), and converging-diverging wire coils (CDWC) and different Reynolds numbers. The experimental results indicate that among all the tested coil arrangements, the DWC presents a higher thermal performance factor (TPF) than the other arrangements. Using the DWC, the TPF of the Al2O3+PCM hybrid nanofluid is augmented by 3.98%, 9.61%, and 3.04% as compared to that for the plain wire coil (PWC), CWC, and CDWC, respectively. Besides, the DWC configuration exhibits the minimum entropy generation among all arrangements. For the Al2O3+PCM hybrid nanofluid using the DWC, the entropy generation is decreased by approximately 13.36%, 9.78%, and 5.78% as compared to that of the PWC, CWC, and CDWC at a volumetric flow rate of 15 lpm.KEYWORDS: Nanofluidstapered wire coildouble tube heat exchangerheat transfer enhancemententropy generationenergy efficiency Nomenclatures CWC=Converging wire coilCDWC=Converging-diverging wire coilDWC=Diverging wire coilcp=Specific heat (J/kg.K)d=Diameter (m)r=Radius (m)DWC=Diverging wire coilf=Friction factorh=Heat transfer coefficient (W/m2.K)k=Thermal conductivity (W/m.K)L=Tube length (m)m=Mass flow rate (kg/s)Nu=Nusselt numberΔp=Pressure lose (Pa)Pr=Prandtl numberQ=Heat transfer rate (W)Re=Reynolds numberS=Entropy (W/K)T=Temperature (K)Φ=Volume concentration (%)µ=Dynamic viscosity (Pa.s)ρ=Density (kg/m3)Subscripts=avg=Averagegen=Generationeq=Equivalenth, nf=Hot, nanofluidht=Convective heat transfer coefficienti, o=Inner, outerin, out=Inlet, outletnp=Nanoparticleit, ot=Inner tube, outer tubetot=TotalDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":12091,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Heat Transfer","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134969931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experiment was performed over a wide range of inlet temperature (75–95°C), mass flow rate (2–9 g/m), and heat fluxes (5–16 kW/m2). The effects of the parameters on the heat transfer coefficients have been discussed in detail. A series of ONB, FDB and heat transfer correlations were evaluated using the experimental data, and most of the correlations did not adequately fit the experimental results. A modified Hong et al. correlation and modified Zhu et al. correlation were used to predict the wall superheat at ONB and FDB respectively.
