Abstract
In this paper, a numerical simulation of heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE) is computed by using CFD solver program i.e. AcuSolve. Two idealized model of HPHE are created with different variant of entry’s dimension set to be case 1 and case 2. The geometry of HPHE is designed in SolidWorks and imported to AcuSolve to simulate the fluid flow numerically. The design of HPHE is the key to provide a heat exchanger system to work proficient as expected. Finally, the result is used to optimize and improving heat recovery systems of the increasing demand for energy efficiency in industry.
Highlights
The heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluid streams at different temperature
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling was carried out to show the ability of this approach as well as to investigate the flow pattern in heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE)
The main objective of the present study is to explore the ability of this CFD modelling approach i.e AcuSolve, as well as to investigate the flow pattern in HPHE
Summary
The heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat between two or more fluid streams at different temperature. Heat exchangers are designed to maximize the surface area of the wall between the two fluids while minimizing resistance to fluid flow through the exchanger. There are several common heat exchanger designs. These include heat pipe heat exchanger (HPHE). The heat pipe heat exchanger is playing a considerable role in different fields in the industry. HPHE is a heat-transfer device that combines the principles of both thermal conductivity and phase transition with high effective thermal conductivity. Heat pipe is an evaporation-condensation device for transferring heat in which latent heat of vaporization is utilized to transfer heat over a long distance with a corresponding small temperature difference
