An experimental inquisition of waste heat recovery in electronic component system using concentric tube heat pipe heat exchanger with different working fluids under gravity assistance

摘要

In the utilizing of the waste heat in the electronic components meets the power demand and energy utilization for the industries and domestic applications. To meet out this by the understanding and optimization of the waste heat utilization by a compact and cost effective device using heat pipe heat exchanger. This paper states with the design, fabrication, development, and observation of an experimental investigation of the heat pipe introduce in the concentric tube heat exchanger. Working fluids like Methanol, Acetone and heat transport fluid as water. The investigation is further extended by varying the inclination angles, mass flow rates, and temperatures of hot and cold fluid at inlet conditions. The influence of gravitational effect on the heat pipe heat exchanger is conducted for inclination angle from 10 degrees to 80 degrees and the maximum performance is obtained at 60 degrees inclination angle. It is observed while acetone as working fluid there is an increase in 29.75% for effectiveness, 79.81% as heat transfer coefficient, 39.53% as heat transfer rate, 6.70% for Reynold's number and 10.52% decrease in thermal resistance than with methanol. It is concluded that the acetone exhibits better performance when related with methanol as a working fluid. These observations show the suitability of the designed concentric tube heat pipe heat exchanger for the utilization of waste heat dissipation in electronic component system.
