Certain sizing parameters are necessary to obtain the right dimensions for the required air temperature, flow rate, and thus useful thermal energy. The well-known Hottel–Whillier–Bliss equation was used and made dimensionless by applying the collector longitudinal and transversal aspect ratios (<i>r</i>_<i>l</i> and <i>r</i>_<i>t</i>) of a double-glazed flat plate solar air heater (DG-FPSAH). The steady-state equations are solved to determine the average temperatures. Thereafter, one could calculate the overall loss heat coefficient and efficiency factor, obtained analytically. A Matlab code was developed to estimate primarily unknown temperatures, useful energy, and the Nusselt number. An iterative numerical method is used until convergence occurs. The inlet cross-sectional area and air flow velocity are defined as input data. The proposed sizing method depends on the output temperature required by the customer. This temperature can be determined from the plotted curves of the dimensionless ratios. Hence, the SAH-needed dimensions are determined graphically depending on the functional requirements for construction planning, such as technology choice, work breakdown, and budgeting. In the present case study, based on the input parameters, an airflow rate of 1.2 kg/s entering a DG-FPSAH with an output temperature of 41.5°C yields the dimensions of <i>L</i>_<i>in</i> = 3.824 m, <i>W</i>_<i>in</i> = 2.735 m, and <i>H</i>_<i>in</i> = 0.1825, specifying the collector length, width, and air duct height.

Passive methods based on nanofluids, fins, wavy walls, and the porous medium are the most attractive ways to achieve this goal. This investigation focuses on heat transfer and entropy production in a nanofluid laminar flow inside a plate corrugated channel (PCC). The channel geometry comprises three sections, partially filled with a porous layer located at the intermediate corrugate channel section. The physical modeling is based on the laminar, two-dimensional Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer formulation for nanofluid flow and the local thermal equilibrium model for the heat equation, including the viscous dissipation term. Numerical solutions were obtained using ANSYS Fluent software based on the finite volume technique and the appropriate meshed geometries. The numerical results are validated with theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies. The simulations are performed for CuO–water nanofluid and AISI 304 porous medium. The coupled effects of porous layer thickness (<i>δ</i>), Reynolds number (<i>Re</i>), and nanoparticle fraction (<i>φ</i>) on velocity, streamlines, isotherm contours, Nusselt number (<i>Nu</i>), and entropy generation (<i>S</i>) are analyzed and illustrated. The simulation results demonstrate that heat transfer enhancement in clear PCC can be achieved using a porous layer insert. For the porous thickness range of [0.1–0.6], the corresponding range of average Nusselt number increase is [35.7%–176.9%], and the average entropy generation is [105.4%–771.9%]. The effect of the Reynolds number is more important in a porous duct than in a clear one. For <i>δ</i> = 0.4 and <i>φ</i> = 5%, the increase of <i>Re</i> in the range of [200–500] induces an increase in average Nusselt number in the range of [80.9%–108.4%] and average entropy in [222.9%–309.1%] comparatively to clear PCC. The effect of <i>φ</i> is practically the same for porous and clear channels. For <i>φ</i> = 5%, the increase on average <i>Nu</i> is about 9%, and entropy generation is 5%. Accordingly, important improvements in heat transfer in PCC can be achieved through the combined effect of flow Reynolds number and porous layer thickness.</p>","PeriodicalId":44939,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer","volume":"53 8","pages":"4625-4647"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider both the cases, that is, with and without stratification to study the effects of thermal and mass stratification. By evaluating the results of thermal stratification with an unstratified environment, the study comes to an important conclusion. It is seen that the Steady state is reached quickly with the combined effect of both stratifications.

The fluid velocity is considered along the <i>x</i>-axis due to the oscillations of the right plate. The thermal effect on the flow due to the heated right plate is also considered. The fluid and dust particles have complex velocities due to the rotation, which are the sum of primary and secondary velocities. To convert the aforementioned physical phenomenon into mathematical form, partial differential equations are used for modeling the subject flow regime. Appropriate nondimensional variables are employed to nondimensionalize the system of governing equations. With the assistance of assumed periodic solutions, the system of partial differential equations is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations which is then solved by the perturb solution utilizing Poincare–Lighthill perturbation techniques. The engineering interest quantities, the Nusselt number, and skin friction are also determined. The impact of various parameters on skin friction, viscoelastic fluid, and dust particle velocity profiles is also investigated. It is worth mentioning that suction controls the boundary layer to grow unexpectedly, even in the resonance case. The obtained solution is also valid in the case of injection. The radiation parameter, Grashof number, and second-grade parameter cause a decrease in skin friction as their values increase.

This paper addresses the calculation of Green's functions in anisotropic curved media, such as composite lamina, where the principal axes of thermal conductivity follow the curved surface. We start with established exact series solutions for cylindrical convex and concave shapes. These solutions are extended to accommodate geometries of real-world composite materials that do not form a closed surface like a cylinder. Unfortunately, the exact solutions have the form of an infinite series of sums or integrals and are computationally infeasible for the inverse problems of interest, especially for large radii of curvature. This motivates a perturbation solution that is accurate and computationally efficient at large radii of curvature. In addition, it motivates a phenomenological approximation that is extremely computationally efficient over a broad range of curvatures, but with some sacrifice in accuracy.
