Abstract

Energy is one of the world's critical resources. For this reason, energy saving and efficiency is an important study subject. In order to save energy, there are theoretical and experimental studies in the literature due to the need for the improvement of heat transfer and the compactness of the heat exchangers, and the search for new fluids that will provide heat transfer improvement instead of the traditional fluids used in heat exchangers.In this study, the nanofluids obtained by changing the ratios of Al2O3 and SiO2 high nanoparticles volume fraction instead of low nanoparticles volume fraction and by changing the ratios of the base fluid ethylene glycol-water mixtures, where efficient results were obtained in providing heat transfer improvement, the thermal and hydraulic performance of a concentric, intertwined, parallel and counter flow in a tubular heat exchanger, using hot and cold fluids at different volumetric flows, was investigated numerically. Water on the hot fluid side, 0:100%, 40:60%, 60:40% and 100:0% on the cold fluid side, into different ratios of EG-water at 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% nanoparticles volume fractions and different Reynolds numbers (6000 – 8000 – 12000 – 16000 - 20000) nanofluids obtained by adding Al2O3 and SiO2 nanoparticles were used. According to the results of numerical studies, when the fixed volumetric flow value of hot fluid water is 3 l/min, the constant volumetric flow value of nanofluids is 0.9 l/min and Reynolds number 20000, Al2O3-100:0% EG/water and SiO2-100:0% EG/water. The Nusselt number of nanofluids increased by 15.4% and 9.1%, respectively, compared to 0:100% EG/water. The results showed that the pressure drop in a counter flow tubular heat exchanger is high, as well as the heat exchanger performance is better than the parallel flow, the Nusselt number increases with the solid volume concentration contained in the nanofluid, and both the 0:100% ratio and the SiO2 of the Al2O3-100:0% EG/water nanofluid. SiO2 -100:0% EG/water indicates that it is more effective in increasing the performance of the heat exchanger compared to nanofluid.

Abstract

Enerji dünyanın kritik kaynaklarının başında gelmektedir. Bu sebeple enerji tasarrufu ve verimlilik önemli bir çalışma konusudur. Enerji tasarrufunun sağlanabilmesi için ısı transferinin iyileştirilmesi ile ısı değiştiricilerin kompaktlığı gibi ihtiyaçların doğması ile ısı değiştiricilerde kullanılan geleneksel akışkanların yerine ısı transferi iyileştirmesini sağlayacak yeni akışkan arayışı sebebiyle literatürde teorik ve deneysel çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ısı transferi iyileştirmesinin sağlanmasında verimli sonuçların elde edildiği Al2O3 ve SiO2 nanoparçacıklarının düşük katı hacim yerine yüksek katı hacim oranlarında ve temel akışkan etilen glikol-su karışımlarının oranları değiştirilerek farklı hacimsel debilerde sıcak ve soğuk akışkanların kullanıldığı, eş merkezli, iç içe borulu, paralel ve zıt akışlı bir ısı değiştiricinin ısıl ve hidrolik performansı sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Sıcak akışkan tarafında su, soğuk akışkan tarafında %0:100, %40:60, %60:40 ve %100:0 olmak üzere farklı oranlardaki etilen glikol-su karışımı içerisine %0, %2, %4, %6 katı hacim konsantrasyonlarında ve farklı Reynolds sayılarında (6000 – 8000 – 12000 – 16000 - 20000) Al2O3 ve SiO2 nanoparçacıkların eklenmesiyle elde edilen nanoakışkanlar kullanılmıştır. Sayısal çalışmaların sonuçlarına göre, zıt akış altında sıcak akışkan olan suyun sabit hacimsel debi değeri 3 l/dk, nanoakışkanların sabit hacimsel debi değeri 0,9 l/dk ve Reynolds sayısı 20000 alındığında, %6 katı hacim oranı için Al2O3-%100:0 EG/su ve SiO2-%100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanlarının Nusselt sayısında, %0:100 EG/su oranına kıyasla sırasıyla %15,4 ve %9,1 oranında artış olmuştur. Sonuçlar, zıt akışlı bir ısı değiştiricideki basınç düşümünün yüksek değerlerde olmasının yanında, Isı değiştirici performasının paralel akışa göre daha iyi olduğunu, nanoakışkanın içerdiği katı hacim oranın artmasıyla Nusselt sayısının arttığını ve Al2O3-%100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanının hem %0:100 EG/su oranına hem de SiO2- %100:0 EG/su nanoakışkanına göre ssı değiştiricinin performansını artırmada daha etkili olduğunu göstermektedir.
