Analysıs Of Heat Transfer Enhancement In Tubes Wıth Capsule Dımpled Surfaces And Al2o3-Water Nanofluıd

This study aims to numerically investigate and evaluate the enhancement of heat transfer by new capsule dimples on tube surfaces for flow of water and Al2O3-water nanofluid with different concentrations, under uniform surface heat flux. The originality of this work lies in combining two passive heat transfer enhancement methods such as geometrical improvements and nanofluids together. Capsule dimples with different depths were considered. Al2O3-water nanofluid was modeled as a single-phase flow based on the mixture properties. The effects of dimple depth and nanoparticle concentrations on Nusselt number, friction factor and performance evaluation criteria (PEC) were studied. Numerical computations were performed using ANSYS Fluent commercial software for 2000 14000 Reynolds number range. It was found that when laminar, transient and fully developed turbulent flow cases are considered, increase in the dimple depth increases the Nusselt number and friction factor for both pure water and Al2O3-water nanofluids cases. Also, the friction factor increases as dimple depth increases. Results show that increase in PEC is more pronounced in the laminar region than in the transition region, it starts to decrease for turbulent flows. For nanofluid, PEC values are considerably higher than pure water cases. The variation of PEC for capsule dimpled tubes are dependent on flow regimes and dimple depths. Increasing the nano particle volume concentration and dimple depth in laminar flows increase the PEC significantly.

This study investigates the efficacy of machine learning techniques and correlation methods for predicting heat transfer performance in a dimpled tube under varying flow conditions, including the presence of nanoparticles. A comprehensive numerical analysis involving 120 cases was conducted to obtain Nusselt numbers and friction factors, considering different dimple depths and velocities for both pure water and water-Al2O3 nanofluid at 1%, 2%, and 3% volume concentrations. Utilizing the data acquired from the numerical simulations, a correlation equation, SVM ANN architectures were developed. The predictive capabilities of the statistical approach, ANN, and SVM models for Nusselt number distribution and friction factor were meticulously assessed through mean average percentage error (MAPE) and correlation coefficients (R2). The research findings reveal that machine learning techniques offer a highly effective approach for accurately predicting heat transfer performance in a dimpled tube, with results closely aligned with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Particularly noteworthy is the superior performance of the ANN model, demonstrating the most precise predictions with an error rate of 2.54% and an impressive R2 value of 0.9978 for Nusselt number prediction. In comparison, the regression model achieved an average error rate of 6.14% with an R2 value of 0.8623, and the SVM model yielded an RMSE value of 2.984% with an R2 value of 0.9154 for Nusselt number prediction. These outcomes underscore the ANN model’s ability to effectively capture complex patterns within the data, resulting in highly accurate predictions. In conclusion, this research showcases the promising potential of machine learning techniques in accurately forecasting heat transfer performance in dimpled tubes. The developed ANN model exhibits notable superiority in predicting Nusselt numbers, making it a valuable tool for enhancing thermal system analyses and engineering design optimization.

In this study, a house hold micro-cogeneration system is designed using high temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) fuel cell. HTPEM type fuel cells gain the highest interest lately, due to their advantages in terms of increasing efficiency and power quality, reducing harmful emissions and flexibility of operation with respect to the other fuels. The micro-cogeneration system involves producing both electrical energy and hot water and/or vapor together in an economical way, utilizing single fuel (HTPEM fuel cells) for household applications. During the operation of the fuel cell, for high efficiency and stable power production, the access heat of the stack should be removed constantly and the temperature of the stack should be held stable. Heat recovered from the designed innovative cooling system is used for acquiring energy for heating water. This way, thermal efficiency is almost doubled compared to simple cycle. In the scope of this study, 225 W HTPEM fuel cell stack is designed and tested at 160 degrees C operation temperature with hydrogen gas and air. During operation, for homogenous distribution of temperature among the cells, for a short start up period leading to a fast required steady state temperature and for constantly removing the access heat produced in the cell, the cell stack is cooled by using a cooling fluid (Heat Transfer Oil 32- Petrol Ofisi). Selection of insulation material type and thickness for the cell stack is done using natural convection and radiation loss calculations. For the most efficient operating conditions, micro-cogeneration system water inlet and exit temperatures, water and cooling fluid flow rates, convenient pipe diameter and pump power calculations are done to finalize the design. With the cogeneration system designed during the studies, by recovering the access heat of the insulated HTPEM cell stack, district water with initial temperature of 15-20 degrees C is heated around 50 degrees C. Data gathered during studies indicate that fuel cell micro-cogeneration application is highly viable.

I n this study, micro-cogeneration application is used to increase the efficiency of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) systems and effect of different operation temperatures on system performance is observed. For this reason, two different PEMFC systems were comparatively studied operating at 70o C and 160o C, respectively. Micro-cogeneration system design has done considering experimentally determined current density, power and temperature values. Since the amount of heat extracted from each PEMFC system is different related to the operating temperatures, different heat transfer fluids have been used for the cooling systems. These systems are designed for utilization of electricity and hot water for Atılım University Hydrogen Energy Laboratory. Heat loss calculation is made for the laboratory and thermal energy needed for heating the laboratory is calculated. Parallel to the design calculations, simple payback times for PEMFCs with micro-cogeneration applications were determined. LT-PEMFC and HT-PEMFC systems have 402 W and 456 W thermal powers respectively and 87.4 % and 92.8 % total cogeneration efficiencies were calculated for each system respectively. For each system maximum water temperatures and flow rates are calculated as a result of micro-cogeneration application. HT-PEMFC system has found to be capable of higher amount of heating. Even LT-PEMFC system has a lower thermal power and efficiency; it is determined to be more economical and has a lower pay pack time then HT-PEMFC system. For both systems, necessary number of stacks to be used for laboratory heating is calculated as four.

In recent decades, demand for energy has been significantly increased, and considering environmental impacts and the degrading nature of fossil fuels, clean and emission-free renewable energy production has attracted a great deal of attention. One of the most promising renewable energy sources is solar energy due to low cost and low harmful emissions, and from the 1980s, one of the most beneficial applications of solar energy is the utilization of solar chimney power plants (SCPP). A SCPP is a simple and reliable system that consists of three main components; a solar collector, a chimney (tower) and a turbine to utilize electrical energy. Recently, by the advancement in computer technology, the use of CFD methodology for studying SCPP has become an extensive, robust and powerful technique. In light of the above, in this study, numerical simulations of a SCPP through three-dimensional axisymmetric modeling is performed. A numerical model is created using CFD software, and the results are verified with an experimental study from the literature. After ensuring good agreement with the experiments, chimney's and collector's geometric parameters effects and different configurations effects on SCPP performance, simultaneously and additively is investigated. The study introduces an insight to the performance enhancement methods and finding the best configuration of a SCPP model, which will be the basis of a detailed prototyping process. Based on the numerical results, the best configuration of the SCPP has been found as the diverging chimney which enhances the generated power. The results of the study showed that the chimney height and collector radius increase has a positive effect on the power output and efficiency of the system, but when construction and material costs are also considered, each has an optimal value. The maximum impact on the performance is found to be by the chimney tower radius and the collector height and inclination are found to have optimum values considering performance. According to the obtained results, the best performance for the SCPP was obtained with 3.5 m chimney height, 30 cm tower diameter, 400 cm of collector diameter with 6 cm height and zero inclination angle. By the correct selection of the dominant performance parameter which can be done by correctly interpreting the results of this study, "the best" design of a SCPP real scale prototype considering maximum power requirement can be done.

A numerical model is created using CFD software, and the results are verified with an experimental study from the literature. The amount of solar radiation and surrounding weather (ambient temperature) were analyzed, and the effects of the irradiance and air temperature on the output power of the SCPP were studied. Ambient temperature is considered as one of the most important factors that influence collector efficiency in a negative or a positive manner. Solar irradiance is considered to be the most important factor that has an impact on SCPP performance. The investigation includes the study of the relationship between solar insolation and ambient temperatures during the daytime since the difference between the minimum and maximum power values and the performance are very important considering seasonal changes. According to the results, power values are dependent on the amount of solar radiation as well as the ambient temperature, and the importance of selection of location thus climate for an SCPP is found to affect the design of the SCPP.
