Numerical study on the thermal performance of the shell and tube heat exchanger using twisted tubes and Al2O3 nanoparticles

Valiyollah Ghazanfari et al.

Summary: In this study, the influence of twisted tubes and Al2O3 nanofluid on the thermal performance of the shell and tube heat exchanger was investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results showed that using twisted tubes instead of smooth tubes increased the heat transfer coefficient by about 20% but increased the pressure drop by about 14%. Simultaneously using 20% nanofluid and twisted tubes resulted in an 8% increase in heat transfer coefficient and a 40% reduction in pressure drop compared to the old heat exchangers with various baffles. Therefore, the use of nanofluids and twisted tubes can enhance thermal performance and reduce economic costs.

Numerical simulation of the mixing behaviour of hot and cold fluids in the rectangular T-junction with/without an impeller

Kexin Huang et al.

Summary: Thermal stratification is the main cause of thermal fatigue failure in rectangular T-junctions. By setting an impeller with a constant rotation speed, the mixing behavior of hot and cold fluids can be improved, and various flow patterns including wall jet, deflecting jet, and impinging jet can be observed. The relationship between mixing length and blade diameter is not monotonic, and the optimal operating point is around D-p* = 0.5 for impellers with 2 blades.

Numerical study of droplet breakup in an asymmetric T-junction microchannel with different cross-section ratios

Milad Isanejad et al.

Summary: In this study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate droplet breakup in an asymmetric T-junction microchannel. The results show good agreement with previous studies, and the effects of capillary number, non-dimensional droplet length, and non-dimensional width ratio on the breakup time and splitting ratio are studied. It is also found that the mass center of the mother droplet is shifted to a wider branch, facilitating the asymmetric breakup in the T-junction microchannel.
