Optimization of operating parameters of earth air tunnel heat exchanger for space cooling: Taguchi method approach

Abstract In the present study, CFD-based parametric analysis is carried out to optimise the parameters affecting the temperature drop and heat transfer rate achieved from earth air tunnel heat exchanger (EATHE) system. ANSYS FLUENT 15.0 is used for CFD analysis, and k-ε model and energy equation wer...
