For the experimental study the rig was built up to studying the performance of cooling system in three cases. These cases are: Cooling water by vacuum only, cooling water in conventional method, and cooling water by vacuum with condensation. The experimental results show that the addition of a condenser to the vacuum cooling system leads to sweep of largest amount of generated vapor, also the time consumed for the process was decreased. The times required for cooling 45 g from water from temperature 29 o C to 10 o C for the three test cases were 4375 second, 3535 second and 263 second, respectively. Vacuum cooling with condenser is a fast cooling of three systems test, which is about (13.7 times) faster than the system of natural convection cooling. To work properly, the existence of condenser is very important in vacuum cooling. It normally removes the large amo...

Numerical simulations have been done by solving the governing equations (Continuity, Momentum and Energy) equations in the laminar regime , three dimensions by using the FLUENT software version (14.5). The effect of flow on temperature distribution of flat plate water collectors by inserting (twist strip with twist ratio (3), helical spring surrounding the solid shaft) inside riser pipes is numerically simulated and compared with solar collector without inserting device inside its riser pipes at flow rates of (100)l/h . The numerical simulation results show that the flat plate water, solar collectors with the inserted, twist strip and helical spring that’s surround the solid shaft were higher enhancement of heat transfer than without inserted devices. The useful energy in case of twist strip is (10%) higher than the case of flat plate solar collector without enhancement device...

The general velocity profile is mathematically simple and nearest to the exact solution. Also other related values, boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, momentum thickness and coefficient of friction are nearest to the exact solution compared with other corresponding values for other researchers.
