    Passive Augmentation Studies in a Double Pipe Heat Exchanger with Ellipsoidal Dimples

    Abstract: In this work, the numerical studies of heat transfer augmentation of a counter-current double pipe heat exchanger with ellipsoidal dimples (inward-facing, raised dimples) on the inner tube was performed using SOLIDWORKS software. The effect of dimple depth, dimple pitch and number of dimples/angles between two dimples on heat transfer was investigated at a constant volumetric flow rate of 4 LPM for hot (water) and cold (water) fluids. The effect of …

    Multiphysics Simulation and Thermal Characterization of VVER-1200 Steam Generator for Optimized Heat Transfer and Structural Integrity

    Abstract: VVER-1200 is a Russian design reactor which consist of Two circuits comprising reactor core, piping, vertical steam generator, pressurizer, active and passive safety systems, turbine and generator. This reactor involves single phase flow from reactor core to steam generator (SG) where high pressurized water exchanges heat with normal water resulting in steam production. The flow is turbulent, which enables maximum efficiency to heat transfer. Using ANSYS Workbench's multi-physics simulation capabilities, …

    Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport

    Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …

    Design and Analysis of S-Glass Heat Exchanger

    Abstract: This research work focuses on the composite material named S-Glass fibre Heat Exchanger, since the existing designs of heat exchangers are generally made up of metals which produce a critical amount of heat loss to the surrounding from the shell. These are also less corrosive resistant, have low life and high weight. To overcome these drawbacks, use of composite materials has become essential. There is a need to redesign it …
