A heat exchanger is an important component in many thermal systems, such as a radiator of an engine cooling system in vehicles. Heat exchangers are generally designed and characterized to work under steady-state conditions. However, a change in operating conditions exposes heat exchangers to a transient state, therefore, it is important to study their transient responses for better control of the system and efficiency improvement. In this study, the experimental responses of two types of heat exchangers: conventional, and meso heat exchangers subjected to a sudden change in inlet temperature and mass flow rate of the hot fluid are compared and presented. The transient outlet temperature responses of both hot and cold fluids as well as the transient heat exchanger effectiveness and heat transfer rate variations are found in this work. A general empirical correlation is obtained for the hot fluid transient dimensionless outlet temperature subjected to mass flow rate step change. Furthermore, results show that the meso heat exchanger exhibited higher heat transfer rate and effectiveness as well as reached steady state faster than the conventional heat exchanger. Even though the meso heat exchanger has a longer initial delay time, it possesses a higher response time than a conventional heat exchanger, regardless of the step change.","PeriodicalId":92806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84881396","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}

The uniformity of flow rates among the parallel microchannels is governed by the field of fluid pressure in the system. This contribution presents, three dimensional (3D) CFD simulations performed using OpenFOAM (Open-Source Field Operation and Manipulation) by employing simpleFOAM solver to investigate flow distribution in an array of four parallel microchannels with a hydraulic diameter of 500 µm each. The working fluid is water and an incompressible, single-phase flow is assumed. The maldistribution is induced by complete or partial blockage of single microchannels in different scenarios. Both number of blocked microchannels and position of the blockage inside the channel array are altered. The results show the effects of induced blockage on the fluid flow distribution in the parallel microchannels. The standard deviation of flow distribution not only depends on the total number of the blocked microchannels but also on their position inside the flow array. For validating CFD results, pressure drop and flow distribution are also investigated through various experiments. Therefore, pressure drop measurements for different scenarios are conducted. A good agreement between simulation and experiment is observed. Simulation studies reveal that the free cross-section is not the governing criterion for both flow distribution and heat exchange. Fouling on the hot surface more strongly influences the outlet temperature than completely blocked channels. The contribution shows that even with a relatively simple model, interesting effects in microstructured heat exchangers can be found, allowing for a deeper understanding of the specific properties of micro structures.","PeriodicalId":92806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73883945","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}

As the operating temperature plays a great role in the photovoltaic conversion process, cooling the operating surface is a key factor to consider in achieving higher efficiency. Numerical investigation using composite phase change materials (PCMs) in photovoltaic-cooling (PV-cooling) system was adopted in this study. Selected materials such as CaCl2.6H2O, paraffin wax, RT25, RT27, SP29, n-octadecane were used as PCMs while copper, aluminium, steel, nickel, polystyrene, polychlorovinyl and polypropylene were used as composite(matrix) materials. A two-dimensional transient heat transfer model based on enthalpy approach developed by computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD-Ansys-Fluent software) was utilized for optimization and enhancing the energy conversion efficiency. The numerical results showed that RT25 sphere has good compatibility with PV-cooling system, and the thermal conductivity barely had a significant value on PV-temperature for larger values, excepted for very low thermal conductivity materials such as plastics.","PeriodicalId":92806,"journal":{"name":"Journal of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80614114","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}
