SİLİNDİRİK BİR GÜNEŞ DAMITMA SİSTEMİNİN İÇ HAZNE YÜKSEKLİĞİNİN DAMITIM MİKTARINA ETKİSİNİN SAYISAL OLARAK İNCELENMESİ

Year 2018, Volume: 38 Issue: 1, 1 - 10, 30.04.2018

Abstract

Bu çalışmada silindirik bir güneş damıtma sisteminde oluşan akış örgüsü ve elde edilen damıtım miktarı sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Literatürde yer alan ve farklı koşullar altında deneysel olarak damıtım miktarları ölçülmüş bir sistemin geometrisi temel olarak seçilerek iki-boyutlu sayısal bir model oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmada akışkan olarak nemli hava kullanılmış; suyun kütle damıtım miktarı, yani suyun buharlaşması ve yoğuşmasından oluşan temel çalışma prensibi, su yüzeyindeki taşınım ile temsil edilmiştir. Sayısal model kullanılarak farklı sıcaklık sınır koşulları altında elde edilen kütle damıtım miktarları literatürde yer alan deneysel verilerle karşılaştırılmış ve %15 farklılık bandı içinde yer alan, iyi bir uyum içinde oldukları görülmüştür. Doğrulama çalışmasının ardından, elde edilen sayısal model sonuçları sistem içinde oluşan akış örgüsünü incelemek ve problem fiziğini daha iyi anlayabilmek için kullanılmıştır. Temel geometriye ek olarak iç hazne duvarı yüksekliği farklı iki geometri oluşturulmuş ve bu değişikliğin sonuçlar üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Temel geometri ile ulaşılan kütle damıtım miktarının incelenen tüm farklı sınır koşulları için, iç hazne duvarı yüksekliğindeki ilk azaltma ile (2. geometri) %5 dolayında arttığı, ikinci azaltma ile ise (3. geometri) %5-10 arası değişen değerlerde azaldığı gözlemlenmiş, monoton olarak değişmeyen bu sonuçlar akış örgüsü incelenerek açıklanmıştır.

COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF TROUGH HEIGHT IN A TUBULAR SOLAR STILL ON DISTILLATE PRODUCTIVITY

Year 2018, Volume: 38 Issue: 1, 1 - 10, 30.04.2018

Abstract

In this study, the flow field and the amount of distillate produced in a tubular solar still is analyzed computationally. A two dimensional computational model is developed for a system geometry selected from the literature, which provides experimentally measured distillate productivity rates under different conditions. Humid air is used as a working fluid and distillate water mass productivity, i.e., the basic working principle consists of evaporation followed by condensation, is approximated by the convective transport at the water surface. Calculated distillate productivity values by the computational model under different temperature boundary conditions are compared against experimental values and a good agreement, where deviations are in the range of 15%, is found. Following the validation study, computational results are used to investigate the flow field generated in the system and to gain better insight to the physics. In addition to the base geometry, two additional geometries with a lower height troughs are created and effects of this change on the results are investigated. It is observed that the distillate productivity values obtained with the base geometry for all different boundary conditions increase around 5% with the first decrease in trough height (2. geometry), and decrease 5 to 10% with the second decrease in trough height (3. geometry), and this non-monotonic change in the results are explained by examining the flow field.
