    Snowflake Shaped High-Conductivity Inserts for Heat Transfer Enhancement
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2018) Konan, Hasel Çiçek; Çetkin, Erdal; Çetkin, Erdal; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Here, we show numerically how thermal resistance in a two-dimensional domain with a point heat source can be reduced with embedded high-conductivity snowflake shaped pathways. The external shape of the domain is square, and its boundaries are heat sink. The geometry of the inserted pathways which corresponds to the minimum Tmax was uncovered with the consideration of Constructal Theory, i.e. the constructal design. In the first assembly, number of mother (big) fins was uncovered as the area fraction increases. The results of the first assembly indicate that the increase in number of mother fins does not increase heat transfer after a limit number for the fins. After uncovering the mother pathway geometry corresponding to the minimum Tmax, the daughter (small) fins inserted at the tip of them, i.e. second assembly. In the second assembly, the fin ratios, small fin location and angle were discovered when the area fraction is fixed. In addition, in the third assembly, larger daughter fins were attached to mother fins. The results of the second and third assemblies document what should be the geometric length scales and the number of daughter fins in order to minimize Tmax. The constructal design uncovered is similar to the shape of snowflakes. Therefore, the results also uncover snowflakes correspond to the designs with minimum thermal conductivity, i.e., not mimicking the nature but understanding it with physics.

    Numerical Optimization of a Fin-Tube Gas To Liquid Heat Exchanger
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Bilir, Levent; İlken, Zafer; Erek, Aytunç; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The influence of plate fin, fin tube and protrusion parameters on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a finned tube gas to liquid heat exchanger is examined in this study. The optimization of plate fin, fin tube and protrusion dimensions as well as protrusion locations on plate fin surface is performed numerically using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program named "Fluent". The dimensions of the plate fin of a commercially available combi boiler apparatus heat exchanger are taken as basic dimensions. As the first step, the best plate fin and fin tube geometry is determined. Secondly, the best dimensions for three different protrusions (balcony, winglet and imprint) and their most suitable locations on the plate fin surface are found. Finally, the cumulative effects of several combinations of these three protrusions on the plate fin surface are analyzed. The placement combinations of protrusions are decided according to the results obtained for the individual effect of each protrusion. The fin named as I5B2W3 is found to be the most efficient fin among the investigated cases. A comparison with a numerical and computational study is also performed to validate the numerical results of the present study. © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
