How can we introduce the heat recovery, mass recovery, multi bed bed ... etc to simulate adsorption chiller performance using TRANSYS software?

I would like to make simulation using TRANSYS software  to show the effect of heat recovery, mass recovery, multi bed..etc on the adsorption cooling system?

Materials and Methods: The TRNSYS simulation environment is adopted to develop the WHR system model to understand the system’s transient operation and evaluate the operating variables of waste heat recovery system. The effect of ambient temperature and mass flow rate on operating variables has been studied by considering academic institution waste heat recovery system which is driven by a gas turbine has a capacity of 5.2 MW. Results: Results indicate that 20% variation of ambient temperature (°C) could lead to 0.7% changes in power generated and 1.7% changes in steam generation. With respect to fuel flow rate, 10% changes of fuel flow rate could lead to about 4 and 8.7% changes on turbine power and steam generated, respectively.

The only way to do so is to use an experimental map of perfomance where the cooling power and COP are expressed as a function not only of temperatures (as in type 909) but also as a function of heat/mass recovery presence or lack. Such a map can then be implemented in type 581 of TESS libraries.

Dear everyone,
I am currently studying how different geometries enhance gas-liquid heat exchange and I was wondering what would be the key parameters I should analyse in order to compare them.
In addition, any book or article recommendation on the topic (of heat exchange performance, I would imagine) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
How to compute outlet temperature of 1-2 shell and tube heat exchanger using NTU method ?
Question

  • Asked 12th Mar, 2019
  • Muhamad Miftahul AzharMuhamad Miftahul Azhar
Total surface area, fluid inlet temperature (both tube and shell), flow rate are given. I had try compute it using P-NTU method. First I assume U then I will got NTU, R and calculate P. Finally I will get both fluid outlet temperature. Then I calculate new value of U using m*Cp*(Tc,o-Tc,i)=U*A*F*LMTD (F is correction factor, c= cold, m= mass flow rate).
But from this iteration, the value of U become divergent. Then I try to calculate by assume outlet temperature of cold fluid. But the error form assumed value and calculated value always 5-6% and not become smaller. Step which I used is first assume cold fluid outlet temperature, then calculate hot fluid outlet temperature. After that calculate LMTD, and then i wil get U from heat balance. and then compute NTU-> R -> P -> outlet temperature.
Is there any mistake in my calculation or should I use E-NTU ?

Anomalous heat transfer rate at nanofluids? Is it real or not? If Yes, What is the reason?

I want to discuss about the well-known phrase "anomalous heat transfer rate at nanofluids".
My opinion: Anomalous heat transfer rate happens because of the nanoparticle migration. Nanoparticle depletion at the heated walls leads the velocities shifts to the walls and enhances the heat removal from the surface, thought nanoparticle depletion may reduce the thermal conductivity there.

Dear all,
Can you please tell me the ways to measure differential pressures across utility sides of the heat exchangers.
Unlike process side, the utility side pressure drops may not be measured. What can be done in such cases ? Are there indirect ways to measure it?
Thank you.
