Funded Activity Summary

Heat Transfer Enhancement Techniques for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Equipment. The proposed Project will make significant contribution towards the both fundamental understanding of heat transfer enhancement using dimpled surfaces and the design of heat exchangers and, in particular to the application of dimpled surfaces in air conditioning and refrigeration industries. Unlike the previous CFD studies which have been made on the assumptions that the flow is steady and decoupled from the heat transfer calculations in this Project the fully coupled problem will be solved, in which unsteady flows are allowed to occur over a dimpled surfaces. As a result we will be able to more accurately determine the resultant effects on the pressure drop and heat transfer.
