    Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Fin-Tube Heat Exchangers With Different Types of Vortex Generator Configurations
    (Begell House Inc., 2010) Bilir, Levent; Özerdem, Barış; Erek, Aytunç; İlken, Zafer
    A fin-and-tube heat exchanger with three different types of vortex generators is investigated in this study in order to observe the effects of these vortex generators on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. The individual as well as the cumulative influences of the vortex generators on the performance of a heat exchanger are examined. The numerical analyses are performed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program named "Fluent". Firstly, each vortex generator type is placed at four different locations on the fin to determine its best location in terms of heat transfer and pressure drop values. After the determination of the best location on the fin for a vortex generator of each type, two different models with all three types of vortex generators are created and analyzed numerically. The investigation of the cumulative effect of three different vortex generators is the novelty of the study. The results of the study show that the use of three different vortex generators together increases heat transfer rate with a moderate increase in pressure drop value. The comparison of the present study results with an experimental and numerical study showed also a good agreement. © 2010 by Begell House, Inc.

    Total Solidification Time of a Liquid Phase Change Material Enclosed in Cylindrical/Spherical Containers
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Bilir, Levent; İlken, Zafer
    This study investigates the inward solidification problem of a phase change material (PCM) encapsulated in a cylindrical/spherical container with a third kind of boundary condition. The governing dimensionless equations of the problem and boundary conditions are formulated and solved numerically by using enthalpy method with control volume approach. The problem is solved many times for different values of the affecting parameters and data sets are obtained for dimensionless total solidification time of the PCM. These data sets are then used to derive correlations which express the dimensionless total solidification time of the PCM in terms of Stefan Number, Biot Number and Superheat Parameter.

    Effect of Geometrical Parameters on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Plate Fin and Tube Heat Exchangers
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Erek, Aytunç; Özerdem, Barış; Bilir, Levent; İlken, Zafer
    In this study, the influences of the changes in fin geometry on heat transfer and pressure drop of a plate fin and tube heat exchanger are investigated, numerically. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program called Fluent is used in the analysis. The segment of one tenth of fin is used in the modeling, due to symmetrical condition. The results of heat transfer, static, and total pressure drop values of ten different fins are tabulated and the normalized values of them are, also, given for the comparison of the models. The distance between fins is found to have a considerable effect on pressure drop. It is observed that placing the fin tube at downstream region affects heat transfer positively. Another important result of the study is that increasing ellipticity of the fin tube increases the heat transfer while it, also, results in an important reduction in pressure drop.
