» Experimental testing of two-phase maldistribution in air-cooler headers can lead to more effective header design

Air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) in the oil, gas, and power industries often process two-phase fluids, and their performance is usually limited by the airside thermal transfer resistance. However, flow on the tube side can undergo phase change, such as by vapor condensation or liquid vaporization, producing complex two-phase behavior.

» Recent advances in absorption chillers for low-grade waste heat recovery

A staggering 72% of the energy we produce is lost as waste heat, a consequence of utilizing heat engines in power plants. This inefficiency demands increased fuel consumption to meet energy demands, leading to amplified greenhouse gas emissions and accelerating global warming. However, absorption chiller (ABC) technology offers to harness this waste heat for decarbonization. 

Time is running out to register for our upcoming Horizons Symposium. Take a look at the preliminary schedule to see some of the interesting topics that will be presented.  

» Research Update: Using CFD Simulation to Assess HTRI Predictions for Non-Newtonian Fluids

April 30, 2024 | 10:00 AM CDT (UTC -5:00)

In this free webinar, we discuss the basics of non-Newtonian fluids and using power law to model the behavior. The timeline of non-Newtonian fluids research at HTRI is showcased, with highlights of research projects such as the experiments in 2019 using ketchup as a working fluid.
