Abstract:This study investigates the optimization of Earth-Air Tunnel Heat Exchanger
(EATHE) systems for maximizing air temperature reduction in Algeria's
Timimoun region. Employing a Response Surface Methodology approach and Ansys
Fluent 16.2 software, we meticulously analyze the influence of critical
parameters on air temperature reduction: pipe depth, length, air velocity,
and thermal conductivity of PVC and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes.
twenty-six simulations were conducted to optimize t… Show more
