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 …

Design of Evaporator and Condenser for Solar Adsorption Refrigeration System
Abstract: Solar adsorption refrigeration systems provide a promising alternative for sustainable cooling in regions with limited grid access and high solar availability because they can convert low-grade thermal energy into refrigeration without mechanical compression. The performance of such systems depends strongly on the thermal behavior of the evaporator and condenser, since these components govern the refrigerant evaporation rate, condensation effectiveness, and overall cycle stability. This paper presents focus on the design …
