Convective heat transfer from molten salt droplets in a direct contact heat exchanger

Development of new heat exchanger network designs for a four-step Cu–Cl cycle for hydrogen production

“…Some studies focus on heat recovery and thermal management for the CueCl thermochemical water splitting cycle [8][9][10][11][12]. Orhan et al [12] analyze heat exchangers in the five-step copperechlorine cycle to enhance heat recovery and cycle efficiency.…”

Hydrogen Production from Nuclear Energy

“…It is found that predictions from Jaber et al (2010a) have a 0.4 % relative error for the Nusselt number, 1.7 % for convective heat transfer coefficient, and 1.7 % for the heat transfer rate.…”

“…The heat transfer rates are then equated for the sensible heating/cooling portions of the heat exchange trajectory of the droplets, namely, Therefore,from (6.74), (6.75), and (6.76), one obtains the exit temperature of the fluid as reported by Jaber et al (2010a):…”

“…Because there is no available experimental data on spraying of molten CuCl, the validation of the model by Jaber et al (2010a) is performed against reference data of a problem of heat transfer from a droplet to a stream of air. It is found that predictions from Jaber et al (2010a) have a 0.4 % relative error for the Nusselt number, 1.7 % for convective heat transfer coefficient, and 1.7 % for the heat transfer rate.…”

Research and Application of Heat Transfer Fluids in Solar Thermal Power

“…For molten salt, there are many outstanding thermophysical properties in aspects of heat transfer and storage, and it has been widely used in the nuclear waste heat recovery [8] and solar power generation. At present, the research direction of molten salt mainly includes three aspects: theoretical simulation and prediction [9,10], heat exchanger system [11,12], experiment research on molten salt's composition and properties [13]. The research on molten salt's thermophysical properties are mainly discussed in this paper.…”
