RISInvestigations Into the Flow Behavior in a Nonparallel Shrouded Diffuser of a Centrifugal Fan for Augmented Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is a well-known fact that the diffuser of a centrifugal fan plays a vital role in the energy transformation leading to better static pressure rise and efficiency. Many researchers have worked on modified geometry with ...
Heat Transfer Augmentation Using an Innovative Helicoidal Finned Absorber Plate in a Solar Air Heater—A Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study presents an innovative idea to augment heat transfer to an air heater using helicoidal finned arrangement. A parametric analysis of the helicoidal shaped fin geometry is considered with helicoidal pitch ratio ...
Numerical Analysis of Flat Plate Solar Air Heater Integrated With an Array of Pin Fins on Absorber Plate for Enhancement in Thermal Performance
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a three-dimensional numerical analysis of a flat plate solar air heater in the presence of a pin fin array using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software tool ansys fluent 16.2. The effect of ...
