Experimental Analysis of Automotive Exhaust Heat Exchanger for Thermal Uniformity
Abstract: AbstractThe I.C. Engines are losing large amount of heat into environment directly. This waste heat can be reused for other purpose like TEG, Air conditioning etc. A heat exchanger is a device that is used to transfer thermal energy between two or more fluids, between a solid surface and a fluid, or between solid particulates and a fluid, at different temperatures and in thermal contact. In case of TEG there …

An Investigation on Application of Passive Strategies to Improve Thermal Performance of Buildings
Abstract: AbstractThermal comfort is a state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment of the building space. It is different for every individual and also, depends on the nature of activity of each individual occupant in the building. Understanding thermal comfort is important to building architecture, since it not only the basis for building design, but also affects the field of sustainable design or Green Buildings. Buildings’ as a …

Computational Heat Transfer Analysis of Corrugated Heat Sink Fins
Abstract: AbstractTo find the behavior of heat transfer and thermal management of novel type heat sink fins, a CFD analysis has been carried out. Available heat sink designs are studied for the thermal management of electronic devices, concentric solar devices, LED’s, etc. Electronic devices emerged in last decade and thus cooling of electronic devices with the efficient solution is still immature. In this study, corrugated type fins are introduced and analyzed …

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of AlHE30 for Rectangular Finned Cooking Vessel
Abstract: AbstractFins are basically extended surface, which is used to increase the heat transfer rate, this is basically a secondary surface mounted on primary surface to augment heat transfer from it. A numerical study using ANSYS were conducted to optimize fin shape based on base temperature and maximize the heat transfer across the cooking vessel. By investigating fin of (AlHE30) material were conducted experiments the fin of diameter 14 and 195 …

Enhancement in Heat Transfer Rate of Plate Fin Heat Exchanger using Triangular Winglets
Abstract: AbstractHeat transfer enhancement in heat exchanger leads to higher saving in terms of manufacturing and operational costs. However, parameter pertaining to pressure drops needs to be effectively analyzed so as to make a balance between pressure drop and effectiveness against the operation costs. This paper focuses on the use of triangular winglets in plate fin heat exchangers to enhance the rate of heat transfer. An obstacle is provided in the …
