First and Second Laws Analysis and Optimization of a Solar Absorber; Using Insulator Mixers and MWCNTs Nanoparticles

Article October 21, 2017

In this paper, forced convection flow and heat transfer of MWCNTs-water nanofluid in heat sink collector equipped with mixers are studied. The three-dimensional governing equations are numerically solved in the domain by the control volume approach based on the SIMPLE algorithm. Reynolds numbers are considered in laminar-turbulent range of 50<Re<12,000. The optimization was carried out by comparison of different parameters to reach the optimal case with the maximum exergy efficiency. From this study, it is concluded that in the case of using heat sink, instead of shell and tubes, the time that the fluid is inside the collector increases and leads to outlet temperature increase from the collector the exergy efficiency increases. Also, it is realized that using mixers enhance the outlet fluid temperature, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency. Generally, while the trend of exergy efficiency variation with effective parameters is increasing, applying the mixers precipitate the efficiency increment. In addition, for the case that the trend of exergy efficiency variation with changing these parameters is decreasing, the decreasing trend gets slow. Finally, the highest exergy efficiency was obtained for the nanoparticle volume fraction of ϕ=0.10%.

Two Different Viewpoints about using Aerosol-Carbon Nanofluid in Corrugated Solar Collectors: Thermal-Hydraulic Performance, and Heating Performance

Article October 21, 2017

In this study the effects of corrugated absorber plate and using aerosol-carbon black nanofluid on heat transfer and turbulent flow in solar collectors with double application and air heating collectors, were numerically investigated. The twodimensional continuity, momentum and energy equation were solved by finite volume and SIMPLE algorithm. In the present investigation all the simulations were done for two different angles of tilt of collector according to horizon, that these angles were the optimum ones for the period of six months setting. As a result the corrugated absorber plate was inspected in the case of triangle, rectangle and sinuous with the wave length of 1mm and wave amplitude of 3 mm in turbulent flow regime and Reynolds number between 2500 to 4000. Choosing the proper geometry was carried out based on the best performance evaluation criteria (PEC), for collectors with dual usage and increasing the air temperature from collector inlet to outlet for air heating collector. The results revealed that using corrugated absorber plate has a considerable influence on flow field and heat transfer. For all times of the year the highest PEC was obtained for corrugated Sinusoidal model, however the highest temperature increase from inlet to outlet was obtained for rectangular corrugated model. Also it was understood that in the case of using air as a base fluid, whether for the case of temperature increment from inlet to outlet or the highest PEC,the optimum Reynolds is 2500. For each of the corrugated absorber plate with sinusoidal and rectangular models, the carbon black nanoparticles were added to air base fluid in volume fractions of 0.1% to1%. The results indicated that in sinusoidal model the nanoparticles volume fractions increase leads to heat performance coefficient increase and the best heat performance conditions were attained in volume fraction of 1% and Reynolds number of 4000 for both six months period. In rectangular corrugated model using nanoflu
