Improving performance of flat plate solar collector using nanofluid water/zinc oxide

In this article,the effect of using water/zinc oxide nanofluid as a working fluid on the performance of solar collector is investigated experimentally.The volumetric concentration of nanoparticles is 0.4%,and the particle size is 40 nm,and the mass flow rate of the fluid varies from 1 to 3 kg/min.For this experiment,a device has been prepared with appropriate measuring instruments whose energy source is solar radiation.The solar energy absorbed by the flat plate collector is absorbed by the nanofluid of water/zinc oxide.The nanofluid is pumped to the consumer,a heat exchanger,where it heats the water.The temperature,radiation level,flow rate,and pressure in different parts of the device were measured.The pressure drop and the heat transferred are the most important results of this experimental work.The ASHRAE standard is used to calculate efficiency.The results showed that the use of water/zinc oxide nanofluid increases the collector performance compared to water.For 1 kg/min of mass flow rate,the nanofluids have a 16% increase in efficiency compared to water.From the results,it can be concluded that the choice of optimum mass flow rate in both water and nanofluid cases increases efficiency.

古尔班通古特沙漠梭梭和白梭梭树干茎流特征

通过对古尔班通古特沙漠2个主要建群种梭梭(Haloxylon ammodendron)和白梭梭(Haloxylon persicum)树干茎流的野外实验观测,分析植株冠层和降雨特征对树干茎流形成的影响,并明确了树干茎流量在降雨再分配中的比例。结果表明:当降雨量≥2.4 mm时,梭梭和白梭梭开始有树干茎流产生。梭梭、白梭梭的树干茎流量随树冠体积的增大而增加,但是,当梭梭树冠体积大于4 m3,白梭梭树冠体积大于1.5 m3时,树干茎流量随树冠体积的增加不再增大,甚至有下降趋势。梭梭和白梭梭的树干茎流量和降雨量之间存在显著正相关,累计树干茎流量分别占降雨总量的9.1%和6.4%。梭梭和白梭梭的集流率均随降雨量增加而增大,能够有效地将树干茎流汇聚到树干基部,梭梭表现出更强的汇集树干茎流的潜力。

祁连山典型高山灌丛树干茎流特征

2010年6—10月,对祁连山中段托勒南山金露梅、高山柳、沙棘和鬼箭锦鸡儿灌丛树干茎流进行试验观测,研究了高山灌丛树干茎流特征,以及降雨和冠层结构对灌丛树干茎流的影响.结果表明:灌丛产生树干茎流需要2.1mm的前期降雨量;金露梅、高山柳、沙棘和鬼箭锦鸡儿灌丛树干茎流率分别为3.4%、3.2%、8.0%和4.2%,树干茎流量与降雨量之间成显著正线性相关;随着雨量级的增加,树干茎流率呈增加-减少-增加的趋势;4种灌丛茎干集流率分别为59、30、110和49,树干茎流对根际区水分补给作用明显;灌丛树干茎流率与最大10min雨强(I10)呈指数关系,当I10>6.0mm·h-1时,高山柳和沙棘树干茎流率继续增大,而金露梅和高山柳树干茎流率趋于稳定;冠层结构对树干茎流的影响较复杂,相同降雨条件下,株高和投影面积是祁连山高山灌丛树干茎流的主要影响因子.

Unsteady Flow Analysis of an Axial Flow Hydraulic Turbine with Collection Devices Comprising a Different Number of Blades

We previously devised a new type of portable hydraulic turbine that uses the kinetic energy of an open-channel flow to improve output power by catching and accelerating the flow. The turbine contains an axial flow runner with an appended collection device and a diffuser section that is not axisymmetric. The objective of this study is to determine how interference between the collection device and the runner influences performance characteristics of the turbine. We investigated the performance characteristics of the turbine and flow field for different numbers of blades during both unsteady and steady flow. During an unsteady flow, the maximum values of power coefficients for three and two blades increased by approximately 8.8% and 21.4%, respectively, compared to those during a steady flow. For the three-blade runner, the power coefficient showed small fluctuations, but for the two-blade runner, the power coefficient showed large fluctuations. These fluctuations in the power coefficient are attributed to fluctuations in the loading coefficient, which were generated by interference between the runner and the diffuser section of the collection device.
