Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature describing the packing structure and effective thermal conductivity of randomly packed beds consisting of mono-sized particles is presented, with particular attention paid to the packing structures (porosity, coordination number, and contact angles) and heat transfer.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a review on application of nanofluids in heat exchangers has been addressed, and it can be concluded that the use of nanophotonics in most cases improves heat transfer, which reduces the volume of heat exchanger, saving energy, consequently water consumption and industrial waste.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the heat transfer coefficients for Freon R11 and HCFC123 in a smooth copper tube with an inner diameter of 1.95 mm and found that the coefficients are a strong function of the heat flux and the system pressure, while the effects of mass flux and vapour quality are very small in the range examined.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for optimal design of shell and tube heat exchangers is proposed, which utilizes a genetic algorithm to minimize the total cost of the equipment including capital investment and the sum of discounted annual energy expenditures related to pumping.
