Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer enhancement by multiple twisted tape inserts and TiO2/water nanofluid
TL;DR: In this article, the use of multiple twisted tape inserts led to an enhancement of thermal performance that resulted from increasing contact surface area, residence time, swirl intensity and fluid mixing with multi-longitudinal vortices flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal energy storage and release of a new component with PCM for integration in floors for thermal management of buildings
TL;DR: In this article, phase change materials (PCMs) are incorporated in building structures to increase their thermal inertia without increasing their volume, and a new polymer composite PCM containing 85% of paraffin, with a latent heat of melting of 110kJ/kg and a melting point at about 27°C, is incorporated in a hollow concrete floor panel.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Taguchi approach for optimization of design parameters in a tube with coiled wire inserts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the determination of the optimum values of the design parameters in a tube with equilateral triangular cross-sectioned coiled wire inserts by using Taguchi method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental analysis of an air-to-air heat recovery unit for balanced ventilation systems in residential buildings
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental analysis of an air-to-air heat recovery unit equipped with a sensible polymer plate heat exchanger (PHE) for balanced ventilation systems in residential buildings is presented.
