Effect of Distributor Angle Variation on Flow Characteristics in a Hollow Frustum: A Numerical Study
Abstract: The key factor in determining the flow characteristics of a fluidized bed is the outlet vane angle of the distributor. It helps to predict the flow type, bed thickness and hence helps to obtain the required characteristics by selecting an appropriate angle. This study provides a detailed report about the analysis of important flow characteristics such as velocity, pressure, curl velocity, velocity swirl normal and turbulence with respect to different …

CFD Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Circular Pipe Flow by Swirl Flow
Abstract: Heat transfer enhancement techniques are very important to save more energy by using optimal energy sources. Heat transfer rate depends upon different parameters like Reynolds number, properties of fluid, nature of surface, mass flow rate, velocity, temperature and pressure. Many techniques are used for heat transfer enhancement in which swirl flow devices are effective. For enhancement of heat transfer, smooth pipe with tangentially injected swirl flow is better option than …
