This study investigates one of the possible approaches of improvement of heat exchangers efficiency. Literature review shows that most approaches of improvement are based on the heat transfer surface increasing and laminar-to-turbulent flow transition using different types of riffles forming and shaped inserts. In this article, a novel approach to the heat transfer intensification was employed. The main hypothesis is that applying of multi-chamber design of heat exchanger - ordinary shell-and-tube regions intersperse with common for all tubes regions - will help to improve the utilization of the entrance hydraulic and thermal regions thereby receive higher heat transfer coefficients and higher heat capacity of the heat exchange device. To prove the hypotheses we take the following steps. Firstly, development of the new geometry of the heat-exchanger design - multi chambers construction. Secondly, proving of the higher efficiency of novel design comparing to ordinary design by analytical calculations. Thirdly, numerical simulation of the heat exchange process and fluids flow in both types of heat exchangers that proves the analytical solution.

In this study, analysis of shell and tube heat exchanger (HE) is performed. Theory part on heat transfer, calculation of heat exchanger and general thermal and hydrological properties are described. Several models are developed and computed in differ ent cases: plain tubes and twisted tubes; common and separated inlet and outlet; heat exchanger with different baffles and geometry inside a shell; changed gas matter, tubes material, tubes thickness; modification of inlet and outlet. Twisted tubes shows better heat transfer efficiency than plain tubes. Baffles increase intensity of water mixing but dead zones can be formed in some cases. Length of air inlet and outlet influence on temperature distribution that is important for location of measuring systems. Experimental setup for a gas-liquid case is being created to verify the modelling and test new heat exchanger.
We have developed a compact cryogenic system with a pulse tube refrigerator and a coaxial heat exchanger. This liquefaction-purification system not only saves the cooling power used to reach high gaseous recirculation rate, but also reduces the impur ity level with high speed. The heat exchanger operates with an efficiency of 99%, which indicates the possibility for fast xenon gas recirculation in a highpressurized large-scale xenon storage with much less thermal losses.
Graphene / silicon (G/Si) heterostructures have been studied extensively in the past years for applications such as photodiodes, photodetectors and solar cells, with a growing focus on efficiency and performance. Here, a specific contact pattern sche me with interdigitated Schottky and graphene/insulator/silicon (GIS) structures is explored to experimentally demonstrate highly sensitive G/Si photodiodes. With the proposed design, an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of > 80 % is achieved for wavelengths ranging from 380 to 930 nm. A maximum EQE of 98% is observed at 850 nm, where the responsivity peaks to 635 mA/W, surpassing conventional Si p-n photodiodes. This efficiency is attributed to the highly effective collection of charge carriers photogenerated in Si under the GIS parts of the diodes. The experimental data is supported by numerical simulations of the diodes. Based on these results, a definition for the true active area in G/Si photodiodes is proposed, which may serve towards standardization of G/Si based optoelectronic devices.
The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a bit series written with heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) on granular media depends on a large number of different parameters. The choice of material properties is essential for the obtained switching probab ilities of single grains and therefore for the written bits quality in terms of SNR. Studies where the effects of different material compositions on transition jitter and the switching probability are evaluated were done, but it is not obvious, how significant those improvements will finally change the received SNR. To investigate that influence, we developed an analytical model of the switching probability phase diagram, which contains independent parameters for, inter alia, transition width, switching probability and curvature. Different values lead to corresponding bit patterns on granular media, where a reader model detects the resulting signal, which is finally converted to a parameter dependent SNR value. For grain diameters between 4 and 8nm, we show an increase of ~10dB for bit lengths between 4 and 12nm, an increase of ~9dB for maximum switching probabilities between 0.64 and 1.00, a decrease of ~5dB for down-track-jitter parameters between 0 and 4nm and an increase of ~1dB for reduced bit curvature. Those results are furthermore compared to the theoretical formulas for the SNR. We obtain a good agreement, even though we show slight deviations.
Liquid-xenon based particle detectors have been dramatically growing in size during the last years, and are now exceeding the one-ton scale. The required high xenon purity is usually achieved by continuous recirculation of xenon gas through a high-te mperature getter. This challenges the traditional way of cooling these large detectors, since in a thermally well insulated detector, most of the cooling power is spent to compensate losses from recirculation. The phase change during recondensing requires five times more cooling power than cooling the gas from ambient temperature to -100C (173 K). Thus, to reduce the cooling power requirements for large detectors, we propose to use the heat from the purified incoming gas to evaporate the outgoing xenon gas, by means of a heat exchanger. Generally, a heat exchanger would appear to be only of very limited use, since evaporation and liquefaction occur at zero temperature difference. However, the use of a recirculation pump reduces the pressure of the extracted liquid, forces it to evaporate, and thus cools it down. We show that this temperature difference can be used for an efficient heat exchange process. We investigate the use of a commercial parallel plate heat exchanger with a small liquid xenon detector. Although we expected to be limited by the available cooling power to flow rates of about 2 SLPM, rates in excess of 12 SLPM can easily be sustained, limited only by the pump speed and the impedance of the flow loop. The heat exchanger operates with an efficiency of (96.8 +/- 0.5)%. This opens the possibility for fast xenon gas recirculation in large-scale experiments, while minimizing thermal losses.
