Abstract The variations of flow and heat transfer in the square channel heat exchanger inserted with various parameters of V-orifice are investigated numerically. The influences of flow directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream), gap spacing ratios (g/H or GR = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30) and blockage ratios (b/H or BR = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25 and 0.30) on flow topology and heat transfer behavior are reported. The laminar flow regime with the Reynolds number in the range 100 – 2000 is considered. The numerical results are presented in terms of flow and heat transfer structure in the heat exchanger… More >

Abstract Numerical predictions on heat transfer characteristic, flow topology and thermal performance assessment in a square duct are presented. The passive technique, insertion of the vortex generator, is opted to develop the heat transfer rate in the square duct heat exchanger. The vortex generator of the present research is Double V-Orifice (DVO). The square duct equipped with DVO is tested with various parameters. The influences of DVO height, b, to the duct height, H, or b/H, gap spacing between the outer edge of the orifice and the duct wall, s, to the duct height or s/H and flow directions (tip-pointing-Downstream and… More >
