Numerical Study on Heat Transfer Enhancement of Laminar Flow through a Circular Tube with Artificial Rib RoughnessBy Suvanjan Bhattacharyya, Himadri Chattopadhyay, Samir Kumar Saha
Abstract: This work presents the configuration optimization of a typical square roughness in a circular tube for laminar heat transfer in air using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling. Conjugate heat transfer 2D numerical model has been developed and successfully carried out. CFD numerical simulations were carried out to analyze the flow and heat transfer in the air duct of a solar air heater provided with rectangular ribs. The laminar flow model …

Investigation of Solar Cooling Systems based on Small-Scale Sorption Heat PumpsBy Suvanjan Bhattacharyya, Samir Kumar Saha
Abstract: This paper presents the development and investigation of solar cooling systems based on small-scale sorption heat pumps and chillers, respectively. Ammonia or water absorption chiller with a cooling capacity of 12 kW, a 17.5 kW water/lithium bromide absorber, the chilled WFC18 and two water or silica-gel adsorption chillers with cooling capacities of 7.5 and 15 kW, all single effect, are specified as core components of solar cooling systems. Up to …
