Computational study of heat-transfer in extended surfaces with various geometries

Abstract

In this work, an analysis has been done on extended surfaces with various geometries to identify the better heat transfer rate. The geometries of extended surfaces namely – bar fins, stepped fins, stepped fins with indentations have been modelled, investigated and studied. Based on the design identification and numerical analysis the extended surfaces with increases surface area has increased heat transfer. From numerical data the fins with indentations has increased surface area and heat transfer. The indentations have been designed with varying diameter used in the fins are 4mm, 3mm, 2mm respectively and analysed using a fixed computational method. It is found that the spherical notches with varying diameter were more effective than the other fins and making the notches increases the heat transfer was much effective than increasing the diameter of the indentation in the stepped fin. This work shows the design, analysis, and result of some extended surface geometries with fixed input boundary condition.

Study on induced aeration for fishery fields using floating SPV

“…Figure 2 shows schematic arrangement of floated SPVs which has made float over the fishery field with the aid of floats [22,23]. The heat sink is positioned beneath the water-dipped solar panels.…”

Experimentally Investigating the Flat Plate Solar Water Heating System (FPSWHS) for South Indian Climate

“…The sides and base portions of the FPSWHS are protected with insulating material to limit energy losses to the external environment via radiative and conductive mode of transfer, hence increasing the FPSWHS's performance. The most prevalent issue that degrades the FPSWHS effectiveness is dirt deposition, which necessitates cleanup to preserve efficiency [25,26]. A further typical dependability concern in FPSWHS, according to Hawwash et al [27], is scorching owing to stagnant temperatures.…”

Integration of Lean Principles with Fuzzy FMEA in a Small Scale Casting Industry

“…In order to remove the ambiguity and uncertainty associated with linguistic judgments, fuzzy logic is a concept that uses fuzzy numbers to do so [23]. Fuzzy logic can be used effectively in many industrial applications, but it is less commonly used in the specific use of fuzzy logic in the manufacturing sector [24], compared to automobile and aerospace industries which has some quite few applications [25].…”
