Evaluation of the effect of rotational speed and rheological nature on heat transfer of complex fluid between two cylinders

This paper presents numerical results for flow behavior between a cold inner cylinder and a hot outer cylinder. Both cylinders are placed horizontally. The space separating the two compartments is completely filled with a fluid of a complex rheological nature. In addition, the outer container is subjected to a constant and uniform rotational speed. The results of this work were obtained after solving the differential equations for momentum and energy. The parameters studied in this research are: the intensity of thermal buoyancy, the speed of rotation of the outer container and the rheological nature of the fluid. These elements are expressed mathematically by the following values: Richardson number (Ri = 0 and 1), Reynolds number (Re = 1 to 40), power-law number (n = 0.8, 1 and 1.4) and Prandtl number (Pr = 50). The results showed that the speed of rotation of the cylinder and the rheological nature of the fluids have an effective role in the process of heat transfer. For example, increasing the rotational speed of the enclosure and/or changing the nature of fluid from shearthickening into shear-thinning fluid improves the thermal transfer rate.

The paper presents the investigation of the optimum design parameters of a solar air heater (SAH) having wire ribs as artificial roughness by using the Taguchi method. The solar air heater has arc shape roughness geometry with apex upstream flow on the absorber plate. The objective of this paper is to obtain a set of parameters that deliver maximum thermo-hydraulic performance. For this objective, a new parameter the thermo-hydraulic improvement parameter (ηTHIP), has been introduced. For the present analysis, the effects of Reynolds number (Re), relative roughness pitch (P/e), angle of attack (α), and relative roughness height (e/Dh), denoted by A, B, C, and D, respectively, have been considered. An (L18 = 61 · 3 2 ) orthogonal array (OA) was chosen as an experimental plan for applying the Taguchi method. The set of control factors for the solar air heater SAH which delivers the maximum Nusselt number (Nu), and minimum friction factor (fr) – are A6B2C2, and A1B1C3 respectively. To obtain the maximum THIP the experimental set-up requires only one single run using the parameter A6B2C2, hence there is no need to run it all 54 times.
