        The purpose of this study is to simulate fluid flow in a weir-type cascade solar still, assuming steady-state and air being the ideal gas and incompressible. The commercial software FLUENT is used for numerical simulation of the process. SIMPLE algorithm is used to calculate the relationship between pressure and velocity. In addition, first order upwind method is applied for separation of displacement and interpolation of pressure. Numerical simulations are performed for Solar Still with four to ten and also with twelve steps. Results of investigations on a Solar Still with different number of steps, in which the height of the steps is constant value of 2 cm, show that increasing the number of steps causes to increase water production up to eight steps. Furthermore, the highest rate of water production was 232 ml/m3hr for solar still with eight steps. Manuscript profile

        The purpose The purpose of this study is to simulate fluid flow in a weir-type cascade solar still, assuming steady-state and air being the ideal gas and incompressible. The commercial software FLUENT is used for numerical simulation of the process. SIMPLE algorithm is used to calculate the relationship between pressure and velocity. In addition, first order upwind method is applied for separation of displacement and interpolation of pressure. The effective parameters on unit productivity are the distance between glass surface and water, height of solar still, the number of vortexes and convective heat transfer coefficient. Results of investigations on a Solar Still with different height of steps, indicated that the productivity increases with increasing the height of stairs. Although, it should be noted that in each model with specific number of stairs there is an upward-downward trend; in other words, there is an optimum point in each model with specific number of stairs. Also, the still in the specific model of six-stairs with the height of 3.5 cm of stairs had maximum productivity. Manuscript profile

        Multiphase flows, such as pool boiling, are complex multi-physical -multi-scale problems that require a multitude of numerical techniques to solve different physics combined for a specific set of flow parameters and different regimes. For this reason, a well-established numerical solution for well-validated predictive simulations has not yet been clearly defined. The main purpose of this study is to summarize the methods and basic principles of numerical simulation of pool boiling and explain all the steps of its implementation in ANSYS Fluent software in a clear and transparent manner. In this research, the details of numerical models and the results obtained for the nucleate boiling regime are presented to analyze the single bubble dynamics and calculate the critical heat flux. Heat flux is also included. The results of this study show that numerical simulations have a relatively good agreement with laboratory and experimental data. Manuscript profile

        In this work, thermal performance improvement of the latent heat energy storage system using wavy fins and change in the heat transfer fluid tube geometry is numerically investigated. The investigated system is a shell and tube heat exchanger and RT35 paraffin is used as the phase change material. With the constant total cross-section area of the tube and fins as well as the volume of the phase change material, the effect of heat transfer fluid tube shape and the designed fin on the melting process of the phase change material is investigated. Numerical simulation results show that wavy fins accelerate the phase change process compared to conventional straight fins. The complete melting time of the phase change material is reduced by 9.33% compared to the straight fin. Changing the geometry of the heat transfer fluid tube from the circle to the petal shape is proposed to further improve the thermal performance of the latent heat energy storage system. The melting rate of the phase change material increases with the increase in the number of petals. The complete melting time for the tube with seven petals is reduced by 66.7% compared to the circular tube with wavy fins and 69.8% compared to the base case with straight fins. Manuscript profile

        In this study, techniques for heat transfer enhancement reviewed. Application of nanofluids was studied as a new technique for more energy saving and heat recovery. Transys version17 simulation was used for prediction of thermal efficiency of water and various nanofluids in a flat plate solar collector. Nano fluids that were used in this simulation analysis are copper oxide, copper, and alumina. The results show that the heat transfer and thermal efficiency of copper nanofluid are greater than other working fluids while the exergy efficiency of alumina is greater. Gambit 2.4.6 was used for our CFD calculation along with the Fluent version17.2. We used a model to numerically simulate the heat transfer. The governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions are converted to dimensionless forms and solved numerically by the finite element method. The results show that efficiency of copper is 67% and it is greater than alumina and copper oxide efficiency. Manuscript profile

        در کاربردهای مهندسی انتقال حرارت سیالات از اهمیت ویژه‌ای برخوردار است، بنابراین مهندسان و پژوهشگران، روش‌های متعددی را به منظور افزایش انتقال حرارت پیشنهاد کردند. در سال‌های اخیر روش‌های نوینی به کار گرفته شده ‌است. یکی از این روش‌ها استفاده ازنانو‌سیالات است. نانو‌سیالات دارای خواص گرمایی مطلوبی نسبت به سیال پایه می‌باشند. در این تحقیق تاثیر تعلیق نانوذرات اکسید مس داخل سیال عامل آب با کسر حجمی 005/0(5/0%)، تحت رژیم جریان مغشوش در داخل مبدل حرارتی دو لوله‌ای جریان مخالف مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد و مشاهده می‌شود که تعلیق این میزان از نانو ذرات اکسید مس در داخل سیال پایه آب، منجر به بهبود قابلیت انتقال انرژی گرمایی این سیال عامل از سیستم می‌گردد. همچنین از سوی دیگر؛ تعلیق نانو ذرات منجر به افزایش افت فشار و ضریب اصطکاک سیال پایه نیز می گردند، اما محاسبات انجام شده نشان می‌دهند که تاثیرات مثبت استفاده از این میزان نانو ذرات معلق در آب بر بهبود انتقال گرما از سیستم؛ نسبت به تاثیرات منفی آنها بر افزایش افت فشار و ضریب اصطکاک غلبه می‌کند که این نتایج، محققان را به سوی استفاده از این نانو سیال به عنوان سیال عامل در کاربردهای عملی رهنمون می‌سازد.

        It is not possible to fabricate the complex geometry of coherent cooling channels with conventional machining methods, so channels can be created in the mold using additive manufacturing processes such as selective laser melting. Parts created by selective laser melting always have porosity, and the amount of porosity depends on process parameters. On the other hand, the ability to make porous materials with a selective laser melting process has made these materials with features such as lower density and better heat transfer in the aerospace industry, automobile, medical uses and heat exchangers to be the attention of researchers and according to Porosity Percentage, in addition to directly affecting mechanical properties, also affects heat transfer. In this research, the effect of porosity on heat transfer in the mold was investigated. First, the model and mold were designed, in order to investigate the effect of porosity, four simulation models with volume porosity percentage of 0, 10, 20 and 30% were performed and analyzed in the software. The analysis of the results shows that the increase in the percentage of porosity in the mold causes a faster increase in temperature in the mold, also with the increase in the percentage of porosity in the mold, the speed of temperature decrease in the mold increases. And the cooling of the part happens faster. Examining the results of the maximum thermal gradient of the non-porous material compared to the material with 30% porosity shows a 21% increase in the thermal gradient in the porous material Manuscript profile
