In this study a steady flow-field and heat transfer through a copper-water nanofluid around a circular cylinder, under the influence of both the standard thermal boundary conditions, i.e., uniform heat flux and constant wall temperature) was investigated numerically by using a finitevolume method for Reynolds numbers from the range 10–40. Furthermore, the range of nanoparticle volume fractions considered is 0–5%. The variation of the local and the average Nusselt numbers with Reynolds number, and volume fractions are presented for the range of conditions. The average Nusselt number is found to increase with increasing the nanoparticle volume fractions.

Experimental research has been carried out for four individual heat exchanger constructions, i.e., plain double tube, turbulized double tube, plain U-bend and U-bend with turbulator. Tests were made for the water-water system. The study covered a wide measuring range, i.e., Re = 800–9000 – on the shell side, for a constant cold water temperature of 9 ◦C and hot water of 50 ◦C. The heat exchangers were made from copper tubes with external diameter of 10 mm and 18 mm respectively and wall thickness of 1 mm. The helicoidal vortex generator was made from brass wire with a diameter of 2.4 mm, coil diameter of 13 mm and pitch of 11 mm. For these geometries, the values of pressure drop, heat flux and heat transfer coefficient were determined. Wire coil turbulator increased the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) over 100% and pressure drop up by 100%. The comparison of heat transfer efficiency was performed based on the number of transfer units-effectivenes (NTU-ε) method. The modified construction achieved a similar efficiency. Economic analysis of wire coil turbulator was made to validate its use in the system. It showed that a coiled wire turbulator can greatly decrease the investment cost of the double tube heat exchanger while maintaining transferred heat at a constant level.

A Stirling cycle was developed by Rallis considering the adiabatic behaviour instead of isothermal behaviour of working fluid inside the expansion/compression volume, since the isothermal processes are very difficult to be realised in actual practice due to irreversibilities. In order to increase the performance of Rallis Stirling cycle engine, two modified versions of Rallis Stirling cycle engine model have been proposed and developed, called as Rallis modified Stirling cycle engine (RMSE). In this paper, the thermodynamic analysis of the developed models have been carried out and the simulated results are compared with the Rallis ideal model of Stirling cycle engine, as this model describes more accurately the thermodynamic cycle of practical Stirling machines. The results reveal the fact that the thermal efficiency of RMSE I model is enhanced by 38.06% and that of RMSE II model by 48.42%, whereas the power output is increased by 58.05% and 78.19% in case of RMSE I and RMSE II model respectively, when compared with the Rallis ideal adiabatic model of Stirling engine.

In this work, actual operating data for Sabiya combined cycle power plant located in Kuwait were used to conduct the performance evaluation based on the energetic and exergetic analysis. The proposed system consist of an advanced gas turbine engines, with two triple pressure reheat heat recovery steam generator, and one steam turbine. Three types of primary movers were selected carefully, in order to cover different types, sizes and technologies. The movers are gas turbine engine frame 9FA, LM6000 and GT26. The proposed models have been developed using specialised software and validated with the manufacturer’s data featuring a high level of compatibility. The performance of a combined cycle power plant was investigated for different operating conditions. The result shows that the highest exergy destruction takes place in 9FA engine due to high irreversibility in combustion chamber because of low-pressure ratio, which causes low inlet temperature of compressed air to the combustion chamber. The 9FA engine also has the highest exergy loss due to high exhaust gases temperature, which is caused high useful work from a steam turbine. The GT26-reheat gas turbine engine constitute the best choose as primary mover due to low waste exergy, which is equal to 43.93% whereas 9FA and LM6000 equal to 47.27% and 45.17%, respectively. LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is considered the second best choice but the combined cycle power plant will consist of a large number of engines compared to other industrial gas turbine engine, and that may increase the number of auxiliary equipment, capital and maintenance cost.

In present article a mathematical model of arc shape wire roughened solar air heater, on the basis of energy and exergy output rates, entropy generation rate and augmentation entropy generation number, has been developed. A parametric study leading to entropy generation minimization has also been performed. In the analysis the geometric and operating parameters which have been considered as variable are: inlet air temperature, duct depth, collector width to duct depth ratio, mass flow rate per unit collector area, and temperature rise parameter . Results have been presented to see the effects of these values on the energy and exergy output rates of the roughened solar air heater. Effect of different values of wire rib roughness parameters on entropy generation has also been presented. Finally, design curves and optimization for different rib roughness parameters on the basis of minimum entropy generation number with temperature rise parameter, have been presented and optimum values also have been found out 0.004 to 0.010 (Km2)/W. The entropy generation rate obtained for the system, in the present work has been compared with those obtained for solar air heater with different roughness geometries on absorber plates available in the literature for common roughness parameters and operating parameters which validate the present results.

The paper presents a numerical model for analyzing vaporliquid equilibrium of ternary (three-component) system at high pressures. The gas-phase non-idealities and solubility of gas in liquid are considered in the numerical model. The model is useful for studies involving evaporation of liquid at different pressure and temperature conditions, where the interface liquid and vapor compositions are required. At high ambient pressures, ambient gases dissolve into the liquid. Thus, even a single component liquid fuel evaporating in a high pressure ambient gas, effectively behaves like a two-component liquid system. This study considers a ternary system. The numerical model has been validated against the experimental data available in literature. The validated model is used to study the solubility of ambient gas in a binary liquid mixture at high pressures. The effects of pressure, temperature and liquid phase composition on the solubility of gas in liquid have been studied systematically.

The conditions of efficient use of heat pumps in air conditioning systems are considered in order to ensure the established temperature and relative humidity of air in premises with the removal of excess moisture in the warm or hot periods of the year. For this purpose, a thermodynamic analysis of heat pump air conditioning schemes with exhaust air recirculation through a condenser and through a heat pump evaporator has been carried out. To determine the potential capabilities of such schemes to maintain comfortable conditions in the production room, a numerical analysis of their operating parameters, depending on the temperature and relative humidity of external atmospheric air, was performed. It has been shown that recirculation of exhaust air through the heat pump evaporator allows to maintain the given conditions in the room in a wider range of parameters of external atmospheric air. In addition, it has been shown that such a scheme requires less specific energy consumption for the operation of heat pump, which means that it is more efficient.

Instrukcja dla autorów

Archives of Thermodynamics publishes original papers which have not previously appeared in other journals. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The language of the papers is English. The paper should not exceed the length of 25 pages. All pages should be numbered. The plan and form of the papers should be as follows:

1. The heading should specify the title (as short as possible), author, his/her complete affiliation, town, zip code, country and e-mail. Please indicate the corresponding author. The heading should be followed by Abstract of maximum 15 typewritten lines and Keywords.

2. More important symbols used in the paper can be listed in Nomenclature, placed below Abstract and arranged in a column, e.g.:
u – velocity, m/s
v – specific volume, m/kg etc.
The list should begin with Latin symbols in alphabetical order followed by Greek symbols also in alphabetical order and with a separate heading. Subscripts and superscripts should follow Greek symbols and should be identified with separate headings. Physical quantities should be expressed in SI units ( Système International d’Unités).

3. All abbreviations should be spelled out first time they are introduced in the text.

4. The equations should be each in a separate line. Standard mathematical notation should be used. All symbols used in equations must be clearly defined. The numbers of equations should run consecutively, irrespective of the division of the paper into sections. The numbers should be given in round brackets on the righthand side of the page.

5. Particular attention should be paid to the differentiation between capital and small letters. If there is a risk of confusion, the symbols should be explained (for example small c) in the margins. Indices of more than one level (such as Bfa) should be avoided wherever possible.

6. Computer-generated figures should be produced using bold lines and characters. No remarks should be written directly on the figures, except numerals or letter symbols only. Figures should be as small as possible while displaying clearly all the information requires, and with all lettering readable. The relevant explanations can be given in the caption.

7. The figures, including photographs, diagrams, etc., should be numbered with Arabic numerals in the same order in which they appear in the text. Each figure should have its own caption explaining the content without reference to the text.

8. Computer files on an enclosed disc or sent by e-mail to the Editorial Office are welcome. The manuscript should be written as a MS Word file – ∗.doc, ∗.docx or LATEX file – ∗.tex. For revised manuscripts after peer review process, figures should be submitted as separate graphic files in either vector formats (PostScript (PS), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), preferable, CorelDraw (CDR), etc.) or bitmap formats (Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), etc.), with the resolution not lower than 300 dpi, preferably 600 dpi. These resolutions refer to images sized at dimensions comparable to those of figures in the print journal. Therefore, electronic figures should be sized to fit on single printed page and can have maximum 120 mm x 170 mm. Figures created in MS World, Exel, or PowerPoint will not be accepted. The quality of images downloaded from websites and the Internet are also not acceptable, because of their low resolution (usually only 72 dpi), inadequate for print reproduction.

9. The references for the paper should be numbered in the order in which they are called in the text. Calling the references is by giving the appropriate numbers in square brackets. The references should be listed with the following information provided: the author’s surname and the initials of his/her names, the complete title of the work (in English translation) and, in addition:

(a) for books: the publishing house and the place and year of publication, for example:
[1] Holman J.P.: Heat Transfer. McGraw-Hill, New York 1968.

(b) for journals: the name of the journal, volume (Arabic numerals in bold), year of publication (in round brackets), number and, if appropriate, numbers of relevant pages, for example:
[2] Rizzo F.I., Shippy D.I.: A method of solution for certain problems of transient heat conduction . AIAA J. 8(1970), No. 11, 2004–2009.

For works originally published in a language other than English, the language should be indicated in parentheses at the end of the reference.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that the information in each reference is complete and accurate.

10. As the papers are published in English, the authors who are not native speakers of English are obliged to have the paper thoroughly reviewed language-wise before submitting for publication.


Manuscript submission

Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be electronically submitted to the Editorial Office via the online submission and reviewing system, the Editorial System, at http://www.editorialsystem.com/aot. Submission to the journal proceeds totally on line and you will be guided stepwise throughout the process of the creation and uploading of your files. The body of the text, tables and figures, along with captions for figures and tables should be submitted separately. The system automatically converts source files to a single PDF file article, for subsequent approval by the corresponding Author, which is then used in the peer-review process. All correspondence, including notification confirming the submission of the manuscripts to the Editorial Office, notification of the Editorsñs decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mails. Authors should designate the corresponding author, whose responsibility is to represent the Authors in contacts with the Editorial Office. Authors are requested not to submit the manuscripts by post or e-mail.
The illustrations may be submitted in color, however they will be printed in black and white in the journal, so the grayscale contributions are preferable. Therefore, the figure caption and the entire text of the paper should not make any reference to color in the illustration. Moreover the illustration should effectively convey author’s intended meaning when it is printed as a halftone. The illustrations will be reproduced in color in the online publication.


Further information

All manuscripts will undergo some editorial modification. The paper proofs (as PDF file) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author for acceptance, and should be returned within two weeks of receipt. Within the proofs corrections of minor and typographical errors in: author names, affiliations, articles titles, abstracts and keywords, formulas, symbols, grammatical error, details in figures, etc., are only allowed, as well as necessary small additions. The changes within the text will be accepted in case of serious errors, for example with regard to scientific accuracy, or if authors reputation and that of the journal would be affected. Submitted material will not be returned to the author, unless specifically requested. A PDF file of published paper will be supplied free of charge to the Corresponding Author. Submission of the manuscript expresses at the same time the authors consent to its publishing in both printed and electronic versions.
