Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 38Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Microchannel Heat Sink: Nanofluids And/Or Micro Pin Fins(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Coşkun, Turgay; Coşkun, Turgay; Çetkin, Erdal; Çetkin, Erdal; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyHere, we show that overall thermal conductance in a rectangular microchannel heat sink can be maximized with the combination of nanofluids and micro pin fins. We uncover the effect of micro pin fins and nanofluids both separately and simultaneously in order to uncover their effect on the thermal conductance (i.e., thermal resistance). Both nanofluids and micro pin fins decrease the overall thermal resistance due to increase in the average thermal conductivity of the flow system. In addition, they increase the heat transfer surface area of the solid interacting with the fluid. However, the pumping power (pressure drop) increases in both methods due to the increase in the resistances to the fluid flow. The results document what should be the nanoparticle volume fraction mixed into the base fluid and the micro pin fin volume in order to minimize thermal resistance. If the thermal conductivity of the nanoparticles and micro pin fins are the same, the thermal conductance becomes the maximum with 4% and 0.14% volume fractions for the nanofluid and micro pin fins, respectively. This result shows that inserting micro pin fins and using nanofluids with a given volume fraction ratio maximize the overall thermal conductance. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 25A Dimensionless Analysis of Heat and Mass Transport in an Adsorber With Thin Fins; Uniform Pressure Approach(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, Semra; 03.10.

Izmir Institute of TechnologyA numerical study on heat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed assisted with radial fins for an isobaric adsorption process is performed. A uniform pressure approach is employed to determine the changes of temperature and adsorbate concentration profiles in the adsorbent bed. The governing equations which are heat transfer equation for the adsorbent bed, mass balance equation for the adsorbent particle, and conduction heat transfer equation for the thin fin are non-dimensionalized in order to reduce number of governing parameters. The number of governing parameters is reduced to four as Kutateladze number, thermal diffusivity ratio, dimensionless fin coefficient and dimensionless parameter of Γ which compares mass diffusion in the adsorbent particle to heat transfer through the adsorbent bed. Temperature and adsorbate concentration contours are plotted for different values of defined dimensionless parameters to discuss heat and mass transfer rate in the bed. The average dimensionless temperature and average adsorbate concentration throughout the adsorption process are also presented to compare heat and mass transfer rate of different cases. The values of dimensionless fin coefficient, Γ number and thermal diffusivity ratio are changed from 0.01 to 100, 1 to 10 -5 and 0.01 to 100, respectively; while the values of Kutateladze number are 1 and 100. The obtained results revealed that heat transfer rate in an adsorbent bed can be enhanced by the fin when the values of thermal diffusivity ratio and fin coefficient are low (i.e., α -=0.01, δ=0.01). Furthermore, the use of fin in an adsorbent bed with low values of γ number (i.e. γ=10 -5) does not increase heat transfer rate, significantly.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Numerical 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 TechnologyThe 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.
