Heat Transfer Improvement in Heat Exchanger using Porous Medium: a Review (original) (raw)
1. ABSTRACT The present study is to investigate the heat transfer enhancement in a cylindrical heat exchanger using porous media. The heat exchanger is modeled by a cylindrical cavity (Shell) with inlet and outlet thermally insulated ports and five tubes which contain hot water and cold water flows in the shell. The effect of porosity on heat transfer enhancement is studied at the different mass flow rate. The study about the effect of porosity on heat transfer enhancement is done by both experimentally and CFD based and the results are compared with the simple heat exchanger. By decreasing the porosity, the heat transfer rate increases and the mean outlet temperature of the fluid increases for different mass flow rate.
