    An exergy analysis of a concentric tube heat exchanger using hBN-water nanofluids
    (Inder Science Publishers, 2021) Budak Ziyadanoğulları, Neşe; Perçin, Süleyman
    This study investigated the effects of using nanofluids prepared with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles on the thermal performance and pressure drop of a concentric tube heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out with water-hBN nanofluids for stable, dispersed, 0.01%, 0.1% and 1% volume concentrations, at different flow rates and Reynolds numbers under parallel and counter-flow conditions. When the experimental results were examined, the exergy loss was higher in the parallel-flow heat exchanger compared to the counter-flow heat exchanger. The highest exergy loss value was obtained for distilled water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation at 170 W. The exergy loss of water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation increased by 15.7%, 24.8% and 49.8% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. Exergy loss of water at the highest Reynold number (Re = 8,700) for counter flow operation increased by 11.3%, 17.3% and 29.2% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. When evaluating the exergy analysis of the system, exergy losses due to pressure drops were negligible for both flows (parallel and counter).

    Thermal performance enhancement of flat-plate solar collectors by means of three different nanofluids
    (Elsevier, 2018-12) Budak Ziyadanoğulları, Neşe; Yıldız, Cengiz; Yücel, Halit Lutfi
    Solar energy, which comes first among renewable energy sources, enables efficient use of energy with many applications due to its low operating cost and environmental friendliness. In this study, we experimentally investigated the effects on thermal efficiency of nanofluid and water as working fluids in flat-plate solar collector hot water solar energy systems. Nanofluids were prepared by adding Al2O3, CuO, and TiO2 nanoparticles at 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 vol% into distilled water, and then the thermophysical properties (thermal conductivity, viscosity) of the prepared nanofluids were determined. Flow rate was adjusted to 250 l/h at given concentrations for each nanofluid in the experimental setups and data such as collector inlet and outlet temperatures, ambient and tap water temperatures; radiation, humidity, and wind speed were measured and recorded. The obtained data were used to calculate efficiencies according to ASHRAE 93-2003 standards. When compared with water, the results indicated that the use of nanofluid increased collector efficiency.

    Experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of turbulator on heat transfer in a concentric-type heat exchanger
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015-05-21) Budak Ziyadanoğulları, Neşe; Argunhan, Zeki; Yücel, Halit Lutfi
    This article experimentally and numerically analyzes the effect of turbulators with different geometries (Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV) located at the inlet of the inner pipe in a concentric-type heat exchanger. Experiments were performed at parallel-flow conditions in the same and opposite directions to investigate the impact of manufactured turbulators on heat transfer and pressure drop. In the numerical study, ANSYS 12.0 Fluent code program was used, and basic protection equations were solved in the steady-state, three-dimensional, and turbulence-flow conditions. Results were obtained from numerical analysis conducted at different flow values of air (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 m3 /h). The distribution of temperature, velocity, and pressure was demonstrated as a result of numerical analyses. Experimental and numerical results were compared, and it was observed that they were in conformity with each other. When the data obtained from the analyses were examined, the highest heat transfer, pressure drop, and friction factor increase were detected to be in the Type IV turbulator.
