In single- and two-phase flow heat exchangers (in particular "coils"), besides the straight tubes there are also many singularities, in particular the 180° return bends (also called return bends or U-bends). However, contrary to the literature concerning p ...
The lecture will address our experimental work on observing flow patterns and measuring heat transfer coefficients and two-phase pressure drops for evaporating ammonia flows in a horizontal tube over a range of mass fluxes and saturation temperatures. Some ...
This investigation examines experimentally the effect of stators on the performance curves and the heat transfer capabilities of small axial cooling fans. The experimental data indicated that the results are highly affected by the flow conditions at the fa ...
Reduced Basis (RB) method has successfully been used in 2D to solve heat transfer parametrized problems. In this work, we present some 3D applications in the same field. We consider two problems, the steady Thermal Fin and the time dependent Graetz Flow, w ...
A theoretical and numerical model to predict film condensation heat transfer in mini, micro and ultra micro-channels of different internal shapes is presented in this thesis. The model is based on a finite volume formulation of the Navier-Stokes and energy ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
Continuous development of highly efficient and compact cooling elements are driven by extensive developments of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices such as microprocessors or micro high-powered laser systems. As microprocessors continue to head ...
Horizontal falling film evaporators have the potential of displacing flooded evaporators in industry, due to advantages such as lower required refrigerant charge and lower pressure drop. However, there is a need to improve the understanding of falling film ...
Friction is an atomistic phenomena occurring between sliding surfaces and involves mechanisms influenced by lattice vibrations, asperities, heat fluxes, long range elasticity, plasticity. Thermal transfer is one such process contributing toward the complex ...
The complexities of two-phase flow and falling-film evaporation on a tube bundle present important challenges in the design of heat exchangers and the understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. The development of structured surfaces to enhance n ...
