The nanoparticles in a 0.1% volume concentration of nanofluid increased the heat transfer rate and friction factor compared to those of distilled water. Increases in coil pitch also resulted in greater heat transfer efficiency. A correlation between the Reynolds number, the Prandtl number, and the curvature ratio of the coil was also shown to be connected to the Nusselt numbers for the flow of nanofluids within the coils.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68260507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proposes a new kind of heat transfer tube with ellipsoidal dimples based on the elliptical heat transfer tube. The effects of the arrangement and pitch ellipsoidal dimples on the turbulent heat transfer and flow resistance of the heat transfer tube are further studied by numerical simulation in the range of Reynolds number in 4080~24480. The results show that the ellipsoid dimple arrangement makes the near-wall fluid produce different flow forms, which enhances the turbulence degree of the tube fluid and thus improves the convective heat transfer capacity of the tube. Among them: vertical parallel arrangement (Case1) causes convergent flow, oblique parallel arrangement (Case2) causes helical flow, and diagonal symmetrical arrangement (Case3) causes cross-helical flow. The cross-helical flow causes the most significant degree of turbulence, followed by the helical flow. Furthermore, the arrangement and pitch of the ellipsoidal dimples also have an essential influence on the heat transfer performance and flow resistance of the heat transfer tube. The Nusselt number and Friction factor of Case1, Case2 and Case3 increase successively. But the Nusselt number and Friction factor gradually decrease with the rise of the pitch of ellipsoidal dimples. However, under different ellipsoidal dimples pitch, the comprehensive performance of Case1, Case2 and Case3 is better than that of smooth elliptical tubes. Among them, Case3 has the best performance when P=15mm, and the performance evaluation criteria value is up to 1.39.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68262000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it has drawbacks of slow reaction rate during calcination and incomplete reversible carbonation which limit its use. In this paper, SiO2 has been studied as a dopant for CaCO3 to improve its cyclic performance. CaCO3 samples were loaded with different concentrations of SiO2 and its effect on the thermal energy density of CaCO3 was determined. Afterwards, the effect of the dopant on the heat storage process of the synthesized composite along with kinetics of decarbonation reaction was investigated. Cyclic tests were performed to determine the reusability of the material. It was found that the addition of dopant helped to increase the rate of decarbonation reaction, thereby making the heat storage process more efficient as compared to pure CaCO3. The activation energy values are 255.9, 280.1, 244.9 and 234.8 kJ/mol for 5%, 15%, 30% and 0% doped SiO2 samples, respectively. Furthermore, thermal energy storage density increases when the amount of dopant decreases in the samples such as the 30% and 5% doped samples have gravimetric energy storage densities of 339.85 and 759.24 J/g, respectively. It was observed that the large quantities (15% and 30%) of dopant had introduced a new phase of Ca3SiO5 during CaCO3 decomposition.","PeriodicalId":23125,"journal":{"name":"Thermal Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68264147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
