AbstractEnergy consumption in buildings shares a major chunk of the energy demand pie throughout the globe. The majority of the energy consumption in buildings is contributing to thermal comfort to individuals. Thermal comfort is vital for human life as it related to the health, performing ability of an individual. There is an exponential rise in the use of air conditioners in the last few decades which in turn provided many environmental adversities like an increase in global temperature due to global warming and ozone layer depletion. Thus, it is a timely need to develop a sustainable, eco friendly, economical, and energy viable solution to satisfy the thermal comfort needs of occupants. An evaporative cooler is one such technology. Although this method has the advantages of being an ideal cooling system it has certain limitations of lower heat transfer rates, uses in specific climatic conditions, and a large amount of water consumption associated with it. To address the issue of lower heat transfer rate Passive cooling method of incorporating surface roughness like dimples and protrusions on the surface where heat transfer takes place can prove a milestone. In the present study, experimental analysis and analytical study using computer simulation software ANSYS are carried out on terracotta tubes of conical shape which are to be used in Evaporative Cooler. These studies are carried out on three kinds of tubes viz. plain tube, dimpled tube, and protrusion tube. The tubes are checked for variation in heat transfer rate, percent temperature drop, Reynolds number, Nusselt number, and pressure drop due to the incorporation of dimples and protrusion on the inner wall of tubes. It is found that heat transfer and percent temperature drop increase with the use of protrusions by about 39.17% and 17.2% respectively. It is also observed that flow characteristics like Reynolds number, Nusselt number increase with the use of dimples and protrusions without any significant pressure drop. It is also concluded that the input air should be administered at lower velocities to get maximum temperature drop. The tubes with protrusion proved more useful in Evaporative cooler application when used with lower input air velocities.

I.INTRODUCTION
The construction sector, which includes domestic buildings, mercantile, civil services, agriculture, etc. attribute for around 35% of the entire global energy requirements [1]. Heating, cooling, air conditioning, and ventilation applications form the major components of energy
consumption in the building sector. It is also argued that globally around 40% of total building energy is consumed for space heating or cooling applications in both residential and commercial sectors [1]. Room air conditioners are mostly used worldwide as air cooling appliances. However, the rise in the use of air conditioners has led to serious environmental issues associated with global warming and ozone layer depletion. Consequently, it becomes necessary to provide environment friendly, energy viable solutions to obtain a proper thermal environment in buildings. Evaporative cooling (Evaporative Coolers) is one such widely employed effective passive cooling technique that can provide a satisfactory degree of comfort [2]. Deki Cooling installation is one such architectural installation at Noida which made an application of evaporative cooling. It is an elaborate arrangement of hundreds of cone-shaped terracotta tubes into a beehive patterned circle. The porous terracotta tubes (baked earthen tubes) absorb water, and as hot air passes through them, its turned into cool air. It is an innovative solution for cooling workplaces involving heat rejection in the surrounding environment through machinery. The cooling efficiency of this installation can be enhanced with some changes made to the surface structure of terracotta tubes.
The effect of using the passive method of incorporating the surface roughness (like dimples, protrusions) on the inner surface of these terracotta tubes, in increasing heat transfer rate is illustrated in this paper with the help of results obtained through experimental testing and two-dimensional analysis on Ansys software.

LITERATURE REVIEW
It is found in the literature that thermal comfort for humans is vital. For a reason, people pass about 8090% of the day functioning in offices and living in residents, thus it becomes crucial to keep the good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). [3,4]. The report named The Future of Cooling published by IEI in May 2018 depicted an immense need to develop an energy-efficient and environment-friendly cooling technique predicting that effectual measures can increase cooling efficiency averagely by double and bring down energy requirement for cooling by about 45%. The review by et.al Dnyandip K. Bhamare, 2019 shows how passive cooling can be an option to develop such cooling systems. He depicts that passive cooling techniques are capable of maintaining a
comfortable indoor environment and also lower the cooling energy load [5]. Yifan Yang, 2019 establishes Evaporative cooling as a potential energy-saving passive cooling method along with classification, recent developments, and applications of different enhanced evaporative cooling technologies [2]. An air conditioning technology, named Evaporative Cooler uses the water evaporation phenomenon to cool the temperature of air [6]. Evaporative Coolers are categorized into three types viz. direct, indirect, and indirect- direct evaporative coolers [7]. Air conditioning devices of these types are energy-saving [8] and environmentally-sound [9]. Even though such cooling units are energy-efficient and green, there are certain restrictions to their absolute use. Its performance is good only in hot and arid climates. The performance of the device also varies depending on the inlet air conditions. By Performance evaluation of Indirect Evaporative Cooler et al. Aftab Ahamad quoted that the indirect evaporative cooler is suitable for hot and dry climatic conditions, as in most of the regions of India [10]. Also, passive technologies mainly consist of surface shape modications to expand the heat transfer area or to escalate the turbulence of flow [11-13]. This approach involves surface roughening, such as ribs, ns, dimples, and protrusions [14,15]. Ibrahim et al, 2003 stated that the cooling effect was enhanced by a high porosity of the evaporator, increased water supply pressure [16]. Hemant Pisal, Avinash Ranaware demonstrated that the heat transfer rate increases for the metal plate with dimple [17]. Also, presented a fact that the rate of heat transfer and drop in pressure inside dimples rise with the increase in flow rate and with increases in Reynolds number.
From the detailed and sequential literature survey, it is understood that to cope up with the ever-increasing demand for energy for thermal comfort or cooling purpose there is a dire need to develop an energy-efficient, economical, and environment-friendly coolig technology. Passive cooling especially, Indirect Evaporative Cooling can be the best option to provide thermal comfort in dry and arid regions since it provides an advantage of avoiding direct contact with the cooling medium and thus facilitating control over humidity. Also, it is understood that the three-dimensional roughness like dimples and protrusions cause the enhancement in heat transfer and this is ruled by various input factors like input temperature, surface temperature, flow velocity, etc. Thus, Evaporative coolers along with the passive cooling method of surface roughness may prove effective in providing necessary thermal comfort with low energy consumption.

Experimentation
In the present work, the three tubes are tested for heat transfer rate at three different velocities. The individual test tubes are placed one by one in a test section i.e., between two steel boxes. The suction fan is turned ON and the air is channelized through the test tube. The air is made to flow from the bigger end to the smaller end of the tube. The velocity of air passing through the test tube is regulated with the aid of a regulator. After the airflow is set at a constant velocity, the pumps in the water reserve are turned ON. These pumps draw the water from the water reservoir to the top tray. The water sprays fall on the clay test tube through perforations made on the top tray. Thus, the test tube gets wet in turn providing constant surface temperature (25 0C). The remaining water gets

collected back in the water reservoir through holes made on the base tray. The temperature of the air at the inlet and outlet section is determined at regular intervals with the help of a temperature sensor and data logger. In this way, an individual test tube is tested for three different velocities (constant value until changed with regulator) by altering the velocity with help of a regulator. The velocity of air at the inlet and outlet is measured using an anemometer. The same procedure is adopted for all test specimens.

It is important to note that air is made to pass from the bigger end to the smaller end of a frustum of the earthen tube. Furthermore, similar to experimentation all three kinds of tubes are analyzed for three different input velocities. Thus, the output temperature drop is studied against input parameters used are various inlet temperatures at various input air velocities.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results from Experimental work
The experimental data is used to tabulate the flow characteristics like Reynolds number and Nusselt number along with heat transfer rate as shown in table 2,3 and 4 for different test tubes at different velocities. Further, it is used to plot various thermal and flow characteristics. Fig. 3 shows the contours of static temperature for all three tubes and depicted that as the air flows from the bigger end to the smaller end of the tube it gets cooled along the boundary of tubes. It is clear from Fig. 4 that static pressure drops at a minimum in the case of dimpled tube and protrusion tube as compared to plain tube. Thus, tubes with dimples and protrusions offered no significant drop in pressure. Fig. 7 shows the variation in the temperature

at outlet concerning the time at three different velocities. It shows that temperature difference increases with time but decreases with an increase in velocity. It is seen from Tables 2, 3, and 4 that the heat transfer rate increases with an increase in velocity due to an increase in Reynolds number. But it is seen earlier that we get the maximum cooling effect for the lower velocity of incoming air despite increased heat transfer rate. This might be because as the velocity of air increases turbulence increases resulting in more molecular friction between air molecules.This friction between air molecules rises the temperature of the air. Also, contact of air with tube wall for more duration due to lower velocity increases the cooling effect. Thus, the resultant temperature coming out of the tube decreases. It means the lower the input velocity higher the cooling effect. Fig. 5 is a plot for heat transfer rate against
velocity for all three tubes. It is clear from the plot that the heat transfer rate is maximum (6.04 W) for a tube with protrusion followed by plain tube (4.34 W) and lastly by dimpled tube (4.27 W). The percent change in heat transfer for dimpled and protrusion tube is depicted in table 5. The negative value in the case of the dimpled tube shows that for dimpled tube heat transfer rate is less than the plain tube of identical dimensions. The positive percent change in heat transfer rate denotes the superiority of the protrusion tube over the plain tube in heat transfer. Therefore, a protrusion tube with air administered at a lower velocity is the best option to obtain the optimum cooling effect. Also, it is seen from Fig. 5 that the graph for the plain tube is flatter than steeper graphs of dimple and protrusion tube indicating that for plain tube there is not much effect of velocity on heat transfer in case of the plain tube. Fig. 6 shows the flow characteristic for all three tubes.

Result and Discussion for Computer Simulation
The data obtained through computer simulation on Ansys software is used to tabulate table 6 which shows the variation of the percentage change in temperature drop for dimpled tube and protrusion tube. Further, it is used to plot a graph as shown in Fig. 8. From Fig. 8 it is clear that a drop in temperature at the outlet is maximum for protrusion tube followed by plain tube and lastly by dimpled tube. It is also seen that when input air is administered at lower velocity temperature drop is maximum in terms of giving more cooling. The causes of this phenomenon are already discussed in results and discussion of experimental work.

CONCLUSIONS:
The study concludes that protrusion tube is more suitable for evaporative coolers followed by plain tube and lastly by dimpled tube. It is found that heat transfer and percent temperature drop increase with the use of protrusions by about
-
% and 17.2 % respectively as compared to plain tube. It is also observed that flow characteristics like Reynolds number, Nusselt number increase with the use of dimples and protrusions without any significant pressure drop. Reynolds number increases in case of dimpled tube and protrusion tube primarily because of irregularities present on the inner surface of the tube and further due to conical shape of a tube. Reynolds number increase in the case of plain tube primarily because of the conical shape of a tube. The rate of heat transfer increases with an escalated Reynolds number and input temperature of the inlet flow of air. Though, higher input velocities increase the heat transfer it also led to more intermolecular frictions between air molecules and offer less contact with the wall surface of the wet tube resulting in a lower net temperature drop at the outlet. Thus, it is also concluded that the input air should be administered at lower velocities to get maximum temperature drop. Thus, to get maximum cooling effect protrusion tubes are to be used with lower input air velocities for Evaporative cooler applications like Deki cooling installations. Also, it is clear that simulation results support the experimental results and are in line with each other.
