Solar thermal systems are far more important than solar PV systems in residential and
commercial applications. Improving the efficiency of solar thermal technology is a major …

This is a numerical study that analysis the heat extraction potential of solar collector tubes by
assembling a couple of nozzles at the sealed end of the pipe to make swirl flow. Swirl flow …

A vertical header is a crucial component of a microchannel heat exchanger that facilitates
the distribution of the two phases of the refrigerant into horizontally aligned channels …

Flow maldistribution in the channels of plate heat exchangers (PHEs) results in uneven
temperature distribution leading to thermal distortion of the plates, increased pressure drop …

Dividing manifold systems with parallel pipe arrays (DMS-PPA) are commonly used in
building engineering for fluid transmission and distribution. However, it is often difficult to …

The present study deals with the numerical simulation of turbulent flow in a Z-type manifold
in which the fluid is distributed via nine distribution tubes. One of the major drawbacks of …

In SWRO desalination system, both low volumetric mixing and high flow capacity of rotary
ERD unit is the bottleneck problem at present. Here, a new motor-driven rotary ERD (MD …

Manifolds that distribute fluid into or that collect fluid from a multiplicity of streams are
ubiquitous. We introduce a new theory for manifold design to produce uniform flow among …

Thermal solar systems are currently one of the most suitable ways to convert solar radiation
into usable energy. To ensure maximum energy gain, it is necessary to correctly adjust the …

Plate heat exchangers are commonly used in a variety of industries, and flow distribution
among different channels affects their performance and is often assumed to be uniform. In …
