Parametric optimization of a solar-driven Braysson heat engine with variable heat capacity of the working fluid and radiation–convection heat losses

An irreversible solar-driven Braysson heat engine system is presented, in which the temperature-dependent heat capacity of the working fluid, the radiation–convection heat losses of the solar collector and the irreversibilities resulting from heat transfer and non-isentropic compression and expansion processes are taken into account. Based on the thermodynamic analysis method and the optimal control theory, the mathematical expression of the overall efficiency of the system is derived and the maximum overall efficiency is calculated, and the operating temperatures of the solar collector and the cyclic working fluid and the ratio of heat-transfer areas of the heat engine are optimized. By using numerical optimization technology, the influences of the variable heat capacity of the working fluid, the radiation–convection heat losses of the solar collector and the multi-irreversibilities on the performance characteristics of the solar-driven heat engine system are investigated and evaluated in detail. Moreover, it is expounded that the optimal performance and important parametric bounds of the irreversible solar-driven Braysson heat engine with the constant heat capacity of the working fluid and the irreversible solar-driven Carnot heat engine can be deduced from the conclusions in the present paper.

Compact potential of exhaust heat exchangers for engine waste heat recovery using metal foams

To improve the practicability of the waste heat recovery system for internal combustion engines, the compact potential of exhaust heat exchangers using metal foams is investigated. In the present study, the performance of compact exhaust heat exchangers is compared with that of a conventional shell and tube heat exchanger in a real test bench. Both heat transfer and pressure drop performance are considered when assessing the performance of heat exchangers because these two factors normally show a trade‐off relationship when designing exhaust heat exchangers. Compared with the conventional heat exchanger, the compact heat exchanger can achieve a similar pressure drop, and at the same time the heat transfer is increased by 30%, whereas the volume and the weight are each reduced by 2/3. The performance of compact heat exchangers with six types of Ni metal foams is also investigated under different mass flow rates and thicknesses of the porous layer. Results show that the optimum compact heat exchanger enhances the comprehensive performance 1.9 times compared with original one. This study shows that metal foams have great potential in realizing a compact exhaust heat exchanger for engine waste heat recovery.

Effects of combined heat transfer on the thermo-economic performance of irreversible solar-driven heat engines

A thermo-economic performance analysis and optimization has been carried out for an irrversible solar-driven heat engine with losses due to heat transfer across finite temperature differences, heat leak and internal irreversibilities. In the considered heat engine model, heat transfer from the hot reservoir is assumed to be simultaneous radiation and convection mode and the heat transfer to the cold reservoir is assumed to be convection mode. The effects of the technical and economical parameters on the thermo-economic performance have been investigated in order to see the collective effects of the radiation and convection modes of heat transfer. Also the optimal performance parameters of the heat engine, such as the thermal efficiency, temperatures of the working fluid and the ratio of heat transfer areas have been discussed in detail.     

Investigation on the optimal performance and design parameters of an irreversible solar-driven Braysson heat engine

An irreversible solar-driven Braysson thermal engine has been investigated, in which finite rate heat transfer with the radiation–convection mode from the high-temperature reservoir to the heat engine and the convection mode from the heat engine to the heat sink, and irreversible adiabatic processes are taken into account. Based on the thermodynamic analysis method, the analytic expressions of the power output and efficiency of the Braysson heat engine are derived. By using numerical value calculation, the effects of the isobaric temperature ratio, internal irreversibility parameter, temperature ratio of the thermal reservoirs as well as the allocation parameters involving the heat-transfer coefficients, and areas on the performance characteristics of the Braysson heat engine are analysed and discussed in detail. The results obtained in this paper are more general than the related conclusions published in the literature and may provide some parameter design reference for solar-driven heat engines.

Performance optimization of a solar driven heat engine with finite-rate heat transfer

An optimal performance analysis for an equivalent Carnot-like cycle heat engine of a parabolic-trough direct-steam-generation solar driven Rankine cycle power plant at maximum power and maximum power density conditions is performed. Simultaneous radiation-convection and only radiation heat transfer mechanisms from solar concentrating collector, which is the high temperature thermal reservoir, are considered separately. Heat rejection to the low temperature thermal reservoir is assumed to be convection dominated. Irreversibilities are taken into account through the finite-rate heat transfer between the fixed temperature thermal reservoirs and the internally reversible heat engine. Comparisons proved that the performance of a solar driven Carnot-like heat engine at maximum power density conditions, which receives thermal energy by either radiation-convection or only radiation heat transfer mechanism and rejects its unavailable portion to surroundings by convective heat transfer through heat exchangers, has the characteristics of (1) a solar driven Carnot heat engine at maximum power conditions, having radiation heat transfer at high and convective heat transfer at low temperature heat exchangers respectively, as the allocation parameter takes small values, and of (2) a Carnot heat engine at maximum power density conditions, having convective heat transfer at both heat exchangers, as the allocation parameter takes large values. Comprehensive discussions on the effect of heat transfer mechanisms are provided.     

Optimum allocation of heat transfer surface area for cooling load and COP optimization of a thermoelectric refrigerator

The theory of finite time thermodynamics is applied to analyze and optimize the performance of a thermoelectric refrigerator, which is composed of multi-elements. For the fixed total heat transfer surface area of two heat exchangers, the ratio of the heat transfer surface area of the high temperature side heat exchanger to the total heat transfer surface area of the heat exchangers is optimized for maximizing the cooling load and the coefficient of performance of the thermoelectric refrigerator. The effects of various parameters on the optimum performance are analyzed. The results may provide guides for the analysis and optimization of practical thermoelectric refrigerators.     

Transient heat transfer in a U-tube borehole heat exchanger

A transient heat transfer model has been development for a thermal response test (TRT) on a vertical borehole with a U-tube. Vertical borehole heat exchangers are frequently coupled to ground source heat pumps, which heat and cool buildings. The model provides an analytical solution for the vertical temperature profiles of the circulating fluid through the U-tube, and the temperature distribution in the ground. The model is verified with data sets from a laboratory sandbox and field TRTs, as well as a previously reported numerical solution. Unlike previous analytical models, the vertical profiles for the circulating fluid are generated by the model without any assumption of their functional form.     

Water-to-water heat transfer in tube–tube heat exchanger: Experimental and analytical study

Tube–tube heat exchanger (TTHE) is a low cost, vented double wall heat exchanger which increases reliability by avoiding mixing of fluids exchanging heat. It can be potentially used for heat recovery from engine cooling circuit, oil cooling, desuperheating in refrigeration and air conditioning, dairy, and pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, refinery, etc. These tube–tube heat exchangers are successfully demonstrated for superheat recovery water heating applications, condenser and evaporator in heat pumps, lube oil cooler for shipboard gas turbines, milk chilling and pasteurizing application. This paper presents an experimental study on various layouts of TTHE for water-to-water heat transfer. The theoretical and experimental results on this type of heat exchanger configuration could not be located in literature. Overall heat transfer coefficient and pumping power were experimentally determined for a fixed tube length and surface area of serpentine layouts with different number of bends and results are compared with straight tube TTHE. In the case investigated, serpentine layout TTHE with seven bends has shown optimum performance, with overall heat transfer coefficient 17% higher than straight tube TTHE. Two out of five serpentine layout TTHE have shown poor heat transfer performance than straight tube TTHE. The experimental results also indicate that there is a definite optimum for a number of bends in serpentine layout TTHE. An analytical model for prediction of thermo-hydraulic performance of straight layout has been developed and validated experimentally.

Configuration design and performance optimum analysis of a solar-driven high temperature steam electrolysis system for hydrogen production

A new solar-driven high temperature steam electrolysis system for hydrogen production is presented, in which the main energy consumption processes such as steam electrolysis processes, heat transfer processes, and product compression processes are included. The detailed thermodynamic-electrochemical modeling of the solid oxide steam electrolysis (SOSE) is carried out, and consequently, the electrical and thermal energy required by every energy consumption process are determined. The efficiency of the system is derived, from which the effects of some of the important parameters such as the operating temperature, component thickness of the SOSE, leakage resistance, effectiveness of heat exchangers, and inlet rate of water on the performance of the system are discussed. It is found that the efficiency attains its maximum when a proper current density is chosen. The ratio of the required electric energy to the total energy input of the system is calculated, and consequently, the problem how to rationally operate the solar concentrating beam splitting device is investigated. The results obtained will be helpful for further understanding the optimal design and performance improvement of a practical solar-driven high temperature steam electrolysis system for hydrogen production.     

Dimensional analysis on the evaporation and condensation of refrigerant R-134a in minichannel plate heat exchangers

Two-phase flow analysis for the evaporation and condensation of refrigerants within the minichannel plate heat exchangers is an area of ongoing research, as reported in the literatures reviewed in this article. The previous studies mostly correlated the two-phase heat transfer and pressure drop in these minichannel heat exchangers using theories and empirical correlations that had previously been established for two-phase flows in conventional macrochannels. However, the two-phase flow characteristics within micro/minichannels may be more sophisticated than conventional macrochannels, and the empirical correlations for one scale may not work for the other one. The objective of this study is to investigate the parameters that affect the two-phase heat transfer within the minichannel plate heat exchangers, and to utilize the dimensional analysis technique to develop appropriate correlations. For this purpose, thermo-hydrodynamic performance of three minichannel brazed-type plate heat exchangers was analyzed experimentally in this study. These heat exchangers were used as the evaporator and condenser of an automotive refrigeration system where the refrigerant R-134a flowed on one side and a 50% glycol–water mixture on the other side in a counter-flow configuration. The heat transfer coefficient for the single-phase flow of the glycol–water mixture was first obtained using a modified Wilson plot technique. The results from the single-phase flow analysis were then used in the two-phase flow analysis, and correlations for the refrigerant evaporation and condensation heat transfer were developed. Correlations for the single-phase and two-phase Fanning friction factors were also obtained based on a homogenous model. The results of this study showed that the two-phase theories and correlations that were established for conventional macrochannel heat exchangers may not hold for the minichannel heat exchangers used in this study.

Heat transfer in ground heat exchangers with groundwater advection

In order to estimate the impact of groundwater flow on performance of geothermal heat exchangers in ground source heat pump systems, an equation of conduction–advection is established for heat transfer in porous media, and an analytical transient solution is obtained for a line heat source in an infinite medium by means of the Green function analysis. An explicit expression has also been derived of the mean temperature on circles around the heat source. Dimensionless criteria that dictate the process are summarized, and influence of the groundwater advection on the heat transfer is discussed accordingly. Computations show that water advection in the porous medium may alter significantly the conductive temperature distribution, result in lower temperature rises and lead to a steady condition eventually. The hydraulic and thermal properties of soils and rocks influencing the advection heat transfer are briefly summarized. The analytical solution has provided a theoretical basis and practical tool for design and performance simulation of the ground heat exchangers.
