Experimental Investigation of Thermal and Hydraulic Performance of a Plate Heat Exchanger Using Nanofluids
(Springer New York LLC, 2019)
Gasketed plate heat exchangers (PHEs) occupy a crucial position in the energy sector due to their efficient and compact design. A number of studies have focused on making the plate heat exchangers more efficient and compact, ...
Design Of A Flow Diverter Mechanism And A Nozzle For A Hydro Turbine Experimental Test Rig
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2014)
Hydro turbines used in hydroelectric power plants need to be designed and tested according to the specifications of the specific power plant, mainly the head and flow rate. Their models also need to be tested according to ...
CFD-driven surrogate-based multi-objective shape optimization of an elbow type draft tube
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-07-13)
Draft tube is the part of Francis turbines which is used to both discharge water and recover kinetic energy at the exit of the runner. A design optimization study of an elbow type draft tube based on the combined use of ...
CFD Aided Design Of Heat Transfer Plates For Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2014)
In this study, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses are performed to assess the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a commercial Gasketed Plate Heat Exchangers (GPHEx) with 30 degrees of chevron ...
CFD Analysis Of 3D Flow For 1.4 Mw Francis Turbine And Model Turbine Manufacturing
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2016)
Hydroenergy is one of the most useful renewable energy sources. Hydropower is a vital source as it is clean, sustainable and cost effective. Francis type hydroturbines are applicable to a wide range of head and flow rate ...
A Combined Experimental And Computational Study For The Design Of A Low Water Consumption Cooling Tower
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2014)
In this study, a combined experimental and computational study for the design of a low water consumption cooling tower is performed. The purpose of the study is to reduce the water consumption without decreasing the ...
Reverse Engineering Design of a Hydraulic Turbine Runner
(Int Assoc Engineers-Iaeng, 2015)
Reverse engineering is an important method utilized in manufacturing and design process. When there is no technical data of a product or it is unusable, the CAD model is obtained with this method. After obtaining the data ...
Experimental Determination of Cavitation Characteristics of Hydraulic Turbines
(Int Assoc Engineers-Iaeng, 2015)
A new facility for the design, manufacturing and standardized tests of model hydraulic turbines is under construction at TOBB University of Economics and Technology. The facility is one of a few of its kind, in the sense ...
Design And Construction Of An Experimental Test Rig For Hydraulic Turbines
(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2014)
Every turbine for every hydroelectric power plant is unique; therefore its model has to be designed using state of the art design techniques and tested before the actual prototype which is costly, is manufactured. In this ...
Experimental analysis of a mixed-plate gasketed plate heat exchanger and artificial neural net estimations of the performance as an alternative to classical correlations
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2016-11)
In this study, experiments are performed to test the thermal and hydraulic performance of gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPHE). A heat exchanger composed of two different plate types is used for the experiments, for a ...
