Thermodynamic analysis of fluidized bed drying of carrot cubes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this study, the energy and exergy analyses of fluidized bed drying of carrot cubes were investigated. Drying experiments were conducted at inlet air temperatures of 50, 60, and 70 °C, BD (bed depths) of 30, 60, and 90 mm and square-cubed carrot dimensions of 4, 7, and 10 mm. The effects of drying variables on energy utilization, energy utilization ratio, exergy loss and exergy efficiency were studied. The energy utilization and energy utilization ratio varied between 0.105–1.949 kJ/s and 0.074–0.486, respectively. The exergy loss and exergy efficiency were found to be in the range of 0.206–1.612 kJ/s and 0.103–0.707, respectively. The results showed that small particles, deep beds and high inlet air temperatures increased energy utilization, energy utilization ratio, and exergy loss due to high value of heat and mass transfer. Also, the exergy efficiency had maximum value when higher drying air temperature, larger CS (cube size) and shorter BD were used for drying experiment. 相似文献

The present work aimed at evaluating the experimental performance of a gas engine heat pump for hot water supply. In order to achieve this objective, a test facility was developed and experiments were performed over a wide range of ambient air temperature (10.9-25.3 °C), condenser water inlet temperature (33-49 °C) and at two engine speeds (1300 and 1750 rpm). Performance characteristics of the gas engine heat pump were characterized by water outlet temperatures, total heating capacity and primary energy ratio. The reported results revealed that hot water outlet temperature between 35 and 70 °C can be obtained over the considered range of the operating parameters. Also, total heating capacity and gas engine heat recovery decrease by 9.3 and 27.7%, respectively, while gas engine energy consumption increases by 17.5% when the condenser water inlet temperature changes from 33 to 49 °C. Total heating capacity, gas engine heat recovery and gas engine energy consumption at ambient air temperature of 25.3 °C are higher than those at ambient air temperature of 10.9 °C by about 10.9, 6.3 and 1.5% respectively. Moreover, system primary energy ratio decreases by 15.3% when the engine speed changes from 1300 to 1750 rpm. 相似文献

Experimental and theoretical investigations on the entropy generation, exergy loss of a horizontal concentric micro-fin tube heat exchanger are presented. The experiments setup are designed and constructed for the measured data by using hot water and cold water as working fluids. The micro-fin tube is fabricated from the copper tube with an inner diameter of 8.92 mm. The experiments are performed for the hot and cold water mass flow rates in the range of 0.02-0.10 kg/s. The inlet hot water and inlet cold water temperatures are between 40 and 50 °C, and between 15 and 20 °C, respectively. The effects of relevant parameters on the entropy generation, and exergy loss are discussed. A central finite difference method is employed to solve the model for obtaining temperature distribution, entropy generation, and exergy loss of the micro-fin tube heat exchanger. The predicted results obtained from the model are verified by comparing with the present measured data. Reasonable agreement is obtained from the comparison between predicted results and those from the measured data. 相似文献

In the present study, the theoretical and experimental results of the second law analysis on the heat transfer and flow of a horizontal concentric tube heat exchanger are presented. The experiments setup are designed and constructed for the measured data. Hot water and cold water are used as working fluids. The test runs are done at the hot and cold water mass flow rates ranging between 0.02 and 0.20 kg/s and between 0.02 and 0.20 kg/s, respectively. The inlet hot water and inlet cold water temperatures are between 40 and 50 °C, and between 15 and 20 °C, respectively. The effects of the inlet conditions of both working fluids flowing through the heat exchanger on the heat transfer characteristics, entropy generation, and exergy loss are discussed. The mathematical model based on the conservation equations of energy is developed and solved by the central finite difference method to obtain temperature distribution, entropy generation, and exergy loss. The predicted results obtained from the model are validated by comparing with the present measured data. There is reasonable agreement from the comparison between predicted results and those from the measured data. 相似文献

In this paper, the exergy flow and exergy efficiency of a 3 kW proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell were investigated, and the regional characteristic of the distributed energy system was considered. In the environmental temperature range of 263–313 K, the difference in the total efficiency of the proposed system was 6%. On the other hand, the difference in the exergy total efficiency of the same temperature range was 30%. Moreover, as a result of examining how to improve the exergy efficiency of this system, certain improvement methods were proposed: (a) preheat the city-gas and air supplied to the system using exhaust heat and raise the combustion temperature; (b) preheat the water supplied to the system using exhaust heat; (c) change the catalyst material of each unit and reduce the amount of cooling of the reformed gas; and (d) examine the combined cycle power generation. The exergy efficiency, in the case of introducing the proposed system into individual homes in Sapporo, Tokyo, and Kagoshima, was evaluated. Consequently, when the system was introduced into a community with low outside air temperatures, exergy efficiency increased compared with communities with high outside air temperatures. 相似文献

The experimental system for the transcritical CO2 residential air-conditioning with an internal heat exchanger was built. The effects of working conditions on system performance were experimentally studied. Based on the experimental dada, the second law analysis on the transcritical CO2 system was performed. The effects of working conditions on the total exergetic efficiency of the system were investigated. The results show that in the studied parameter ranges, the exergetic efficiency of the system increases with the increases of gas cooler side air inlet temperature, gas cooler side air inlet velocity and evaporating temperature. And it will decrease with the increases of evaporator side air inlet temperature and velocity. Then, a complete exergetic analysis was performed for the entire CO2 transcritical cycle including compressor, gas cooler, expansion valve, evaporator and internal heat exchanger under different working conditions. The average exergy loss in gas cooler is the highest one under all working conditions which is about 30.7% of the total exergy loss in the system. The second is the average exergy loss in expansion valve which is about 24.9% of the total exergy loss, followed by the exergy losses in evaporator and compressor, which account for 21.9% and 19.5%, respectively. The exergy loss in internal heat exchanger is the lowest one which is only about 3.0%. So in the optimization design of the transcritical CO2 residential air-conditioning system more attentions should be paid to the gas cooler and expansion valve. 相似文献

In this study, three medicinal and aromatic plants (Foeniculum vulgare, Malva sylvestris L. and Thymus vulgaris) were dried in a pilot scale gas engine driven heat pump drier, which was designed, constructed and installed in Ege University, Izmir, Turkey. Drying experiments were performed at an air temperature of 45 °C with an air velocity of 1 m/s. In this work, the performance of the drier along with its main components is evaluated using exergy analysis method. The most important component for improving the system efficiency is found to be the gas engine, followed by the exhaust air heat exchanger for the drying system. An exergy loss and flow diagram (the so-called Grassmann diagram) of the whole drying system is also presented to give quantitative information regarding the proportion of the exergy input dissipated in the various system components, while the sustainability index values for the system components are calculated to indicate how sustainability is affected by changing the exergy efficiency of a process. Gas engine, expansion valve and drying ducts account for more than 60% amount of exergy in the system. The exergetic efficiency values are in the range of 77.68–79.21% for the heat pump unit, 39.26–43.24% for the gas engine driven heat pump unit, 81.29–81.56% for the drying chamber and 48.24–51.28% for the overall drying system. 相似文献

Condensation heat transfer and pressure drop of refrigerant R-410A flow in a vertical plate heat exchanger 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:4

Heat transfer and associated frictional pressure drop in the condensing flow of the ozone friendly refrigerant R-410A in a vertical plate heat exchanger (PHE) are investigated experimentally in the present study. In the experiment two vertical counter flow channels are formed in the exchanger by three plates of commercial geometry with a corrugated sinusoidal shape of a chevron angle of 60°. Downflow of the condensing refrigerant R-410A in one channel releases heat to the upflow of cold water in the other channel. The effects of the refrigerant mass flux, imposed heat flux, system pressure (saturated temperature) and mean vapor quality of R-410A on the measured data are explored in detail. The results indicate that the R-410A condensation heat transfer coefficient and associated frictional pressure drop in the PHE increase almost linearly with the mean vapor quality, but the system pressure only exhibits rather slight effects. Furthermore, increases in the refrigerant mass flux and imposed heat flux result in better condensation heat transfer accompanying with a larger frictional pressure drop. Besides, the imposed heat flux exhibits stronger effects on the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop than the refrigerant mass flux especially at low refrigerant vapor quality. The friction factor is found to be strongly influenced by the refrigerant mass flux and vapor quality, but is almost independent of the imposed heat flux and saturated pressure. Finally, an empirical correlation for the R-410A condensation heat transfer coefficient in the PHE is proposed. In addition, results for the friction factor are correlated against the Boiling number and equivalent Reynolds number of the two-phase condensing flow. 相似文献

In this paper, the thermal characteristics and air flow behavior over heated square plate of wavy configurations are assessed. Two cases of heated wavy configurations were considered, one having an elliptical and other with the sinusoidal cross‐sectional shape to augment heat transfer rate over the plate. To explore the impact of wavy configurations of plate on convective heat transfer, the Rayleigh numbers in the range of 104 to 1013 were considered. The steady‐state two‐dimensional momentum and energy equations were solved using a validated numerical model. The numerical results in terms of Nusselt numbers, Rayleigh numbers, aspect ratio (AR), and flow/temperature distribution over the plate are presented. The variations in the heat transfer coefficient and temperature contours with Rayleigh number and AR of waves were concentrated for both the elliptical and sinusoidal configurations of the plate. The results obtained indicate that the enhancement in heat transfer rate from the heated plate depends on the Rayleigh number, the AR of waves, plate configuration, and the Prandtl number. 相似文献

An experimental study of a cross-flow type plate heat exchanger for dehumidification/cooling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The thermal and dehumidification behaviour of a standard cross-flow type plate heat exchanger, intended for use as a dehumidifier/cooler, has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. Three sets of experiments have been carried out where air is blown into the primary and secondary sides of the exchanger, while water and liquid desiccant were being sprayed in a counter flow arrangement. The first set represents the indirect evaporative cooling of the primary stream by the secondary air stream. The second set is with liquid desiccant only and no indirect evaporative cooling. In the third set of experiments the primary air stream is indirectly evaporatively cooled by the secondary air stream and dehumidified by the liquid desiccant sprayed into the primary side of the exchanger. The above experiments indicate that the heat exchanger performs well when used with liquid desiccant. Furthermore, for an exchanger angle of 45°, there is an optimum value of air mass flow rate at which the effectiveness and dehumidification efficiency of the plate heat exchanger are maxima. To investigate the effect of the ambient air conditions on the PHE performance, further experiments were carried out using a heater element and a humidifier. The results show that under laboratory conditions the exchanger effectiveness and dehumidification efficiency increase with increasing primary air inlet temperature and humidity ratio. The experimental results were used to validate a computer model developed for the cross-flow type plate heat exchanger/dehumidifier. Comparison indicates that the numerical results are in good agreement with the experiments. 相似文献

The temperature control of outlet air by changing the water flow rate in a single-pass waterto-air cross-flow heat exchanger is investigated. The conservation laws are applied to finite control volumes and an implicit formulation is used for transient numerical solutions. Conjugate forced convection heat transfer from the tube is solved to calculate the temperatures of the air and water coming out of the heat exchanger. In the simulations the outlet air temperature is controlled by changing the water flow rate entering the heat exchanger using a proportional-integral (PI) controller. The range of controllability of the heat exchanger was studied first. Then disturbances in the form of step changes in the inlet air temperature, the air flow rate, and the set point temperature were separately introduced. The effects of the limiting-condition constraints and different control parameters on controlling the outlet air temperature are presented. The results show that the control behavior can be simulated numerically and that this control methodology is effective within limits. 相似文献

The characteristic of an integral type solar-assisted heat pump water heater (ISAHP) is investigated in the present study. The ISAHP consists of a Rankine refrigeration cycle and a thermosyphon loop that are integrated together to form a package heater. Both solar and ambient air energies are absorbed at the collector/evaporator and pumped to the storage tank via a Rankine refrigeration cycle and a thermosyphon heat exchanger. The condenser releases condensing heat of the refrigerant to the water side of the thermosyphon heat exchanger for producing a natural-circulation flow in the thermosyphon loop. A 105-liter ISAHP using a bare collector and a small R134a reciprocating-type compressor with rated input power 250 W was built and tested in the present study. The ISAHP was designed to operate at an evaporating temperature lower than the ambient temperature and a matched condition (near saturated vapor compression cycle and compressor exhaust temperature <100°C). A performance model is derived and found to be able to fit the experimental data very well for the ISAHP. The COP for the ISAHP built in the present study lies in the range 2.5–3.7 at water temperature between 61 and 25°C. 相似文献

As fluid flowing through the wavy plate, breaking and destabilizing in the thermal boundary layer are induced. In the present study, the numerical investigation on the heat transfer and flow distributions in the channel with various geometry configuration wavy plates under constant heat flux conditions is considered. A finite volume method with the structured uniform grid system is used to solve the turbulent model. Effects of geometry configuration of wavy plates, wavy plate arrangements, and air flow rates on the temperature and flow developments are considered. The sharp edge of wavy plate has a significant effect on the flow structure and heat transfer enhancement. The results of this study are expected to lead to guidelines that will allow the selected wavy plate geometry configuration for designing heat exchanger which increase thermal performance. 相似文献

In this study a mathematical model of heat and mass transfer performance of a wavy fin-and-tube heat exchanger under wet surface condition is presented. The heat exchanger is a counterflow heat exchanger in which humid air and liquid are flowing in opposite direction. A water film that causes evaporative cooling of the humid air is circulated on the humid air side. The heat and mass transfer equations are first derived for fully wet heat exchanger and then by defining a wettability parameter, these equations are obtained for partially wet heat exchanger. In modeling, values of Lewis number and wettability parameter are not necessarily specified as unity. The temperature distributions of humid air, liquid and water film, and relative humidity distribution of humid air are obtained numerically. The theoretical results are found to be in good agreement with the available experimental measurements. 相似文献

In this study, an exergoeconomic analysis of condenser type parallel flow heat exchangers is presented. Exergy losses of the heat exchanger and investment and operation expenses related to this are determined with functions of steam mass flow rate and water exit temperature at constant values of thermal power of the heat exchanger at 75240 W, cold water mass flow rate and temperature. The inlet temperature of water is 18 °C and exit temperatures of water are varied from 25 °C to 36 °C. The values of temperature and pressure of saturated steam in the condenser are given to be Tcon=47 ° C and Pcon=10.53 kPa. Constant environment conditions are assumed. Annual operation hour and unit price of electrical energy are taken into account for determination of the annual operation expenses. Investment expenses are obtained according to the variation of heat capacity rate and logarithmic mean temperature difference and also heat exchanger dimension determined for each situation. The present analysis is hoped to be useful in determining the effective parameters for the most appropriate exergy losses together with operating conditions and in finding the optimum working points for the condenser type heat exchangers. 相似文献

It would be misleading to consider only cost aspect of the design of a heat exchanger. High maintenance costs increase total cost during the services life of heat exchanger. Therefore exergy analysis and energy saving are very important parameters in the heat exchanger design. In this study, the effects of surface geometries of three different type heat exchangers called as PHEflat (Flat plate heat exchanger), PHEcorrugated (Corrugated plate heat exchanger) and PHEasteriks (Asterisk plate heat exchanger) on heat transfer, friction factor and exergy loss were investigated experimentally. The experiments were carried out for a heat exchanger with single pass under condition of parallel and counter flow. In this study, experiments were conducted for laminar flow conditions. Reynolds number and Prandtl number were in the range of 50 ? Re ? 1000 and 3 ? Pr ? 7, respectively. Heat transfer, friction factor and exergy loss correlations were obtained according to the experimental results. 相似文献

Development of innovative thermodynamic cycles is important for the efficient utilization of low-temperature heat sources such as solar, geothermal and waste heat sources. This paper presents a parametric analysis of a combined power/cooling cycle, which combines the Rankine and absorption refrigeration cycles, uses ammonia-water mixture as the working fluid and produces power and cooling simultaneously. This cycle, also known as the Goswami Cycle, can be used as a bottoming cycle using waste heat from a conventional power cycle or as an independent cycle using solar or geothermal energy. A thermodynamic study of power and cooling cogeneration is presented. The performance of the cycle for a range of boiler pressures, ammonia concentrations and isentropic turbine efficiencies are studied to find out the sensitivities of net work, amount of cooling and effective efficiencies. The roles of rectifier and superheater on the cycle performance are investigated. The cycle heat source temperature is varied between 90-170 °C and the maximum effective first law and exergy efficiencies for an absorber temperature of 30 °C are calculated as 20% and 72%, respectively. The turbine exit quality of the cycle for different boiler exit scenarios shows that turbine exit quality decreases when the absorber temperature decreases. 相似文献

The almost two-dimensional steady-state rates of heat loss from arrays of uniformly-spaced vertical rectangular fins, extending upwards—in otherwise stagnant air—from horizontal heated bases, have been measured. (The vertical air gaps between the fins were closed at their sides, by insulated vertical end-barriers.) The effects of various combinations of height, thickness and spacing of the fins, for different base temperatures (in the range 40 to 100°C), have been studied.For the configuration considered, in a normal ambient environment (~ 20°C), there is an optimal fin spacing (? 16 mm) corresponding to the greatest steady-state rate of free convective/conductive heat loss through the air from the finned system, and this is almost independent of the temperature of the heat exchanger base (in the range 40–100°C). At this optimal spacing for base temperatures not greater than 50°C, the convective/conductive heat transfer rate from the array increases with the fin height up to about 60 mm, so that it would be uneconomic to employ taller fins if convection/conduction is dominant compared with radiation.If the radiation contribution is also considered, then the optimal spacing corresponding to the maximum total steady-state rate of heat loss through the air is somewhat less than the optimal spacing for which, under the same temperature conditions, the maximum steady-state rate of convective/conductive heat leak occurs. The greater the emissivity of the heat exchanger surfaces, the narrower the optimal uniform gaps between the fins.A two-dimensional finite-difference computer program has been composed to predict the temperature distribution throughout the heat exchanger for a stipulated ambient environmental temperature and experimentally-determined distribution of the heat transfer coefficient over the surfaces of the exchanger. This enables, for instance, any hot spots to be located prior to a proposed design being built. 相似文献
