In this paper, turbulent thermo-hydraulic analysis of water-to-water passively augmented DPHX with helical baffles is studied by varying the parameters, mass flow rate and baffle spacing. The baffles in annulus side of the inner pipe augments the rate of heat transfer on comparing with the simple DPHX. The influence of spacing between baffles on the heat transfer rate is investigated by varying the governing parameters. The Reynolds number is varied between 22,000 and 12, 5000 for three different baffle spacing (β) values of 75 mm, 100 mm and 125 mm. The thermo-hydraulic performance parameters pressure drop, Nusselt number and friction factor are examined and put forth corresponding to experimental data. From the results, it is inferred that the effect of baffles on the annulus side of the hot fluid flows through the inner pipe enhances heat transfer rate with increase in the Nu and decreases as the baffle spacing increases.
Heat and mass transfer characteristics of water based nanofluids over a nonlinear shrinking surface with suction is studied numerically in the incidence of magnetic field, thermal radiation under the boundary conditions heat flux and mass flux. Si transformations are used to renovate the governing partial differential equations into higher order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations are numerically solved using fourth order RungeKutta technique along with Nachistem Swigert shooting method. Numerical results are achieved for the nanofluid velocity, nanofluid temperature and nanoparticle concentration as well as for the skin friction coefficient, wall temperature and concentration of the wall for various values of governing physical parameters viz. magnetic interaction parameter, suction parameter, shrinking parameter, thermal radiation parameter, temperature ratio parameter and solid volume fraction of the nanoparticles such as copper and silver.
