Heat removal is achieved from cooler vertical sides while the horizontal walls are insulated perfectly. The results are reported with streamlines, isotherms, mean Nusselt numbers, EG due to heat transfer and fluid friction for Ra number ranging from 10 3 to 10 6 , irreversibility distribution ratio ϕ, ranging from 10 − 5 to 10 − 3 , different step height (h) and step width (w) values. It is observed that at a fixed Ra number, with an increase in aspect ratio (AR = h/w) mean Nusselt number values increase. For Ra numbers ranging from 10 3 to 10 4 , the total EG is mostly due to heat transfer because of relatively low velocities, but for Ra N 10 4 the contribution to due to fluid friction becomes effective even has comparable values from Ra = 10 5 to Ra = 10 6 .

The cavity filled with Non-Newtonian fluid of Bingham model is heated from below and cooled by the other walls. This study has been conducted for certain parameters of Reynolds number (Re=1-100), Richardson number (Ri=1-20), Prandtl number (Pr=1-500), and Bingham number has been studied from 0 to 10. The results indicate that the increase in yield stress drops the heat transfer and the flow become flatter, while increasing Reynolds number augments it. The convective transport is dominant when increasing Richardson number which leads to enhance heat transfer in the cavity for both Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluid. A correlation of Nusselt number is given in function of different parameters.

Thermal comfort is perceived as the comfort of human beings under given room conditions, namely average temperature and relative humidity. For example, the value of average comfort temperature in a room is between 294 and 296 K. The main objective of this analysis is not to obtain the lower air temperature of medium, rather to obtain comfort temperature interval of 294–296 K. This thermal comfort temperature has been achieved at nearly all channel outlets in 1 m depth. For the numerical analysis of EAHE, the maximum mean air temperature of July of the city of Elazığ was used. Computational fluid dynamics ANSYS FLUENT 12.1 program was chosen to examine the thermal comfort condition of a typical building. In the analysis of the thermal performance of the EAHE, examinations were made for different earth depths ($$H = 1$$H=1, 2, 3 m). PVC was chosen as the EAHE channel material. The numerical model was solved in three dimensions in the steady-state condition using different Reynolds number values ($$Re = 5\times 10^{3}, 10^{4}, 15\times 10^{3}, 2\times 10^{4}, 4\times 10^{4}, 6\times 10^{4}, 10^{5}$$Re=5×103,104,15×103,2×104,4×104,6×104,105) in the turbulent flow. It was determined that the best thermal performance is at the smallest air inlet velocity. According to the numerical results, it was found that the cooling energy consumption required to provide thermal comfort condition for the typical building is reduced.

Geometrical effect of hexagonal duct was considered. The variation of total entropy generation was studied along the duct length. As a working fluid water and unused engine oil were used to compare the effect of fluid in the duct. Results were compared with circular cross-section duct. It is found that the non-dimensional entropy generation in a hexagonal cross-section duct can be as high as a factor of four than that for a circular duct. Further, the unused engine oil gives up to about ten times lower nondimensional entropy generation values than that of water but needs about ten times more pumping power to heat transfer ratio.

Research paper thumbnail of Heat transfer due to double laminar slot jets impingement onto an isothermal wall within one side closed long duct

International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2008

Navier-Stokes and energy equations were discretized with a finite volume procedure on a non-staggered grid arrangement using SIMPLEM (SIMPLE-Modified) algorithm. The effect of the jet Reynolds number, the jet-isothermal bottom wall spacing, and the distance between two jets on heat transfer and flow field was examined. Air was chosen as the working fluid (Pr = 0.71). It is found that multi-cellular flow is formed in the impingement region due to interaction between two jets and entrainment effects in the duct. The mean Nusselt number increases almost linearly with increasing of Reynolds number at isothermal surface. When Reynolds number of the first jet is higher than second one the heat transfer is enhanced significantly.

Navier-Stokes and energy equations were discretized with a finite volume procedure on a non-staggered grid arrangement using SIMPLEM (SIMPLE-Modified) algorithm. The effect of the jet Reynolds number, the jet-isothermal bottom wall spacing, and the distance between two jets on heat transfer and flow field was examined. Air was chosen as the working fluid (Pr = 0.71). It is found that multi-cellular flow is formed in the impingement region due to interaction between two jets and entrainment effects in the duct. The mean Nusselt number increases almost linearly with increasing of Reynolds number at isothermal surface. When Reynolds number of the first jet is higher than second one the heat transfer is enhanced significantly.
