Abstract

Thermal augmentation in flat tube of car radiator using different nanofluids has been performed more often, but use of artificial roughness has been seldom done. Artificial roughness in the form of dimple is used in the present research work. Present study shows the impact of dimple shaped roughness and nanofluid (Al2O3/pure water) on the performance of car radiator. The pitch of dimples is kept at 15 mm (constant) for all the studies performed. The Reynolds number of the flow is selected in the turbulent regime ranging from 9350 to 23 000 and the concentration of the nanofluid is taken in the range of 0.1–1%. It has been found that the heat transfer rate has improved significantly in dimpled radiator tube on the expense of pumping power. Furthermore, the heat transfer rate also increases with increase in nanoparticle concentration from 0.1% to 1.0%. The highest heat transfer enhancement of 79% is observed at Reynolds number 9350, while least enhancement of 18% is observed for Reynolds number of 23 000.

Abstract

In the present study, energy and exergy analysis has been evaluated for roughened solar air heater (SAH) using arc shaped wire ribs. To achieve this aim, two different types of flow arrangement have been considered. These arrangements are: apex upstream flow and apex downstream flo. In addition to this, a smooth duct SAH has been used for comparative study. The experiments were performed using the mass flow rate of 0.007– 0.022 kg/s on outdoor condition at Jamshedpur city of India. The absorber plate roughness geometry has been designed with relative roughness height 0.0395, rib size 2.5 mm, relative roughness pitch 10 and arc angle 60 . The energetic and exergetic performances have been examined on the basis of the first and second law of thermodynamics. According to the results, there is observed to be the maximum thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency as 73.2% and 2.64%, respectively, for apex upstream flow SAH at 0.022 kg/s, while, at same mass flow rate the maximum thermal efficiency and exergy efficiency is obtained as 69.4% and 1.89%, respectively, for apex downstream flow SAH. In addition to this, results reported that the maximum outlet temperature and temperature difference observed at lower mass flow rate. Also examined the outlet air temperature of SAH with various mass flow rates is very important for both analysis.

Abstract

This paper presents the outdoor experimental results for thermal performance analysis of artificially roughened solar air heaters (SAHs). Circular wire ribs have been arranged to form arc shape geometry on the absorber plates and have been tested for two configurations of SAHs named as arc shape apex-downstream flow and arc shape apex-upstream flow SAH. Roughness parameters have been taken as relative roughness pitch in the range of 8–15, angle of attack 45°–75°, and for fixed relative roughness height of 0.0454, duct width to duct height ratio of 11. During the experimental analysis the mass flow rate varied from 0.0100 to 0.0471 kg/s. Based on the experimental results it was found that roughness with apexupstream flow SAH is having higher value of thermal efficiency, heat removal factor and collector efficiency factor as compared to roughness with apexdownstream flow SAH and simple absorber plate SAH. In the range of the operating parameters investigated the maximum of thermal efficiency, heat removal factor, and collector efficiency factor have been found.
