Project Title
Design and Development of a Novel Configuration of a Gravitational Water Vortex Heat Exchanger
Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
Conventional Heat Exchangers are classified as parallel, counter or cross flow in which heat is exchanged between two seperate fluids at different temperatures while flowing in a streamline pattern. However when the streamline circulates in a circular path, the flow configuration is known as vortex flow. Heat transfer using vortex flow phenomena are a new family of heat exchangers. This project aims to develop a novel configuration of Gravitational Water Vortex Heat Exchanger (GWVHE) to study the heat transfer characteristics.The experimental setup to be developed will have multiple storage tanks, GWVHE system, multiple pumps and valves, heating element, thermostat, thermocouples, electronic float valves, PVC pipes and wool insulation (or plaster of paris).The experimental test rig will be manufactured and installed on the back side of ME Department. The exeriments will be performed and the efficency of GWVHE will be measured under different inlet conditions.
Project Objectives
This project aims to develop a novel configuration of GWVHE and to compare its performance with the previous congiguration of Shell with Baffels (SWB).
To achieve this aim following objectives has been set:
1. Design and Develop new configuration of GWVHE.
2. Expeimental testing of GWVHE.
3. Detailed analysis of the result.
Project Implementation Method
After the successful experimentation of GWVHE, the results will be shared with the conerning industry that uses Power Plants. This system will be installed instead of the chiller and will be evaluated for further modifications.
Benefits of the Project
This project will benefit many industries in which the hot fluid needs to be cooled. The main benefit of this project is that there is no need for any exernal pumping requirements.Thus reducing input energy requirements.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable
A Gravitational Water Vortex Heat Exchanger (GWVHE) comprising of multiple reservoirs and tanks, multiple pumps and valves, temperature guages, heating element, thermostat, thermocouples and other necessary accessories. The size and capacity of GWVHE will be finalized during the design phase of the final project.
