Transient Analysis Of A Coolant-To-Refrigerant Heat Exchanger To Provide Temporary High Performance In An Automotive Vehicle, Abhinav Ravi
Transient Analysis Of A Coolant-To-Refrigerant Heat Exchanger To Provide Temporary High Performance In An Automotive Vehicle, Abhinav Ravi
Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this thesis is to provide a numerical and experimental design tool to understand the heat transfer analysis of a coolant reservoir being chilled at a sub-ambient temperature with a goal of eventually providing a transient burst in performance. A high performance vehicle usually has a liquid charge air cooler that cools air before entering the engine. This liquid charge air cooler cools the air by using a specific coolant coming from the low temperature radiator. This study involves a coolant reservoir independent of the low-temperature radiator to provide coolant at a sub-ambient temperature to the liquid charge …
A Novel Numerical Method To Analyze Laminar Flow In Serrated Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger Designs, Nabila Rubaiya
A Novel Numerical Method To Analyze Laminar Flow In Serrated Plate-Fin Heat Exchanger Designs, Nabila Rubaiya
Theses and Dissertations
In the present research work, a simple numerical method has been explored to calculate the performance of serrated plate-fins. The numerical data of heat transfer and pressure drop performances have been compared with the available literature [6, 21], by means of calculating Chilton-Colburn j Factor and Fanning Friction Factor f, respectively. The numerical findings show good agreement with the experimental results from literature. Hence, the numerical analysis procedure proposed in this paper can be used to predict the performance of new designs of plate fins including different types of notched serrated fins. A detailed calculation and analysis of results have …
