Abstract:

<em>Heat transfer enhancements are of several types and have the potential to reduce the size of the equipment. Several researchers have continued studying about this topic and made significant improvements in this field. These innovations have reduced cost and size of devices over time. Many devices are becoming affordable and efficient because of such studies. Hence the Heat Transfer Enhancement techniques are really an important factor in technology. Now an essential parameter in this heat transfer enhancement field is the thermal performance factor, which decides the transfer of heat rate

Abstract:

In this study, the thermal efficiency of a polymer collector with unglazed photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system was determined. Overall heat loss was estimated using the heat energy balance method. Based on the analysis, the heat removal factor of the PVT system was found to be 0.55. The thermal performance of the system was 47% during the zero reduce temperature. The unglazed PVT polymer collector could replace the conventional PVT collector, which encountered problems such as high cost, weighting issues, and corrosion.

Abstract:

Heat transfer equipment has been used in many different domestic and industrial applications. There has been a concentrated effort to create a heat exchanger design that will reduce energy requirements while saving materials and other costs. Increasing the effective heat transfer surface area or creating turbulence are two common ways to improve heat transfer and hence lower thermal resistance. The thermal Performance Factor is the ratio of the difference in heat transfer rate to the difference in friction factor and serves as a metric to assess the efficiency of heat transfer enhancement tech

This cooling length can be optimized by using finite-element analysis.

In this paper, a novel method is proposed to optimize the thermal performance of commercially available broken-bridge aluminum window frames, by incorporating radiant insulation panels (RIPs) into the window frame cavity. A typical aluminum alloy window frame heat transfer model is theoretically analyzed and validated, and the effects of key design parameters on the equivalent thermal conductivity (ETC) of the cavity radiation heat transfer and

Abstract:

Academic performance is the level of achievement that students reach in their educational activities. It is influenced by several factors that should be analysed and prioritised, especially in engineering courses, characterised by their difficulty and low success rates compared to other careers. This paper analyses the impact of these factors on academic performance during exams in a technical college in southwestern Spain, with a particular focus on environmental conditions, identified as a relevant and independent variable. The results show a significant connection between thermal comfort an

Solar air heaters are indispensable in several industries, encompassing industrial environments, agricultural product dehydration, material conditioning, and residential heating. Nevertheless, inadequate convective transfer can hinder their effectiveness. The enhancements in thermal hydraulic performance and friction factor characteristics have significantly increased the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Additional research and development efforts have the potential to enhance the utilization of clean and sustainable energy sources. This paper achieved a heat transfer rate that was more

Abstract:

Forming solid solutions is one of the most effective strategies to suppress the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials. However, the accompanying increase in impurity ion scattering usually results in an undesirable loss in hall mobility, negatively impacting the electrical transport properties. In this work, a tellurium–selenium (Te-Se) solid solution with trace antimony (Sb) doping was synthesized via the high pressure and high temperature method. It was found that slight Se doping into the Te sites not only had no impact on the hall mobility and carrier concentration, but also enh

The thermal performance of a new Solar air Collector with Colored Fins (SCCF) used for heating was studied. A macroscopic model was proposed based on the law of mass and energy conservation. The effects of the parameters such as dimensions of SCCF, fin angle and material of the fins on the outlet air temperature, airflow rate, effective energy and thermal efficiency were discussed. The results indicate that thermal performance of SCCF can be obviously improved by the increases of aspect ratio, fin angle and vent size. The air flow rate is the dominated factor affecting effective energy and the

In recent years, studies are being done to enhance heat transfer techniques to reduce the thermal resistance either by increasing the effective heat transfer surface area or by generating turbulence. To achieve this, in tube in tube heat exchangers, variety of tube inserts such as twisted tape, wire coil, swirl flow generator etc. are used. The effectiveness of a heat transfer enhancement technique is evaluated by the Thermal Performance Factor which is a ratio of the change in the heat transfer rate to change in friction factor.

Tube bundles are found in various heat transfer equipment for thermal energy transfer between fluids. However, the inter-spatial arrangement of the tubes of any tube bundle is a determining factor for its thermal and hydraulic performance. In this paper, the effect of varying the transverse and longitudinal pitches downstream staggered circular tube bundle on the heat transfer and flow characteristic was numerically analyzed. Seven variations of tube arrangements were studied by changing the tube pitches within a Reynolds number range of 7 381 to 22 214. The analyses were carried out using the
