    Maryam Mirzaiea,† , Ali Reza Talebizadeha , Hassan Hashemipoura,b

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.14, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.14.19

    Abstract In this work, a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and porous media model was applied to simulate the benzene adsorption on activated carbon and the flow fields in a porous media. The three dimensional unsteady state the gas flow was modeled by using the laminar one phase flow equations in conjunction with the mass transfer equation. The adsorption rate on solid phase was implemented to the model by a user defined source. The model was validated by comparing the simulated breakthrough curves by experimental data. After the validation of the model, the effects of the operating conditions such as… More >

    S. Ananda, S. Suresha, R. Dhanuskodib, D. Santhosh Kumarb,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.14, No.1, pp. 1-9, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.14.8

    Abstract The present work investigates the wall temperature prediction at supercritical pressure of water by CFD and compares the prediction of CFD and that of 11 empirical correlations available in literature. Supercritical-water heat transfer experimental data, covering a mass flux range of 400-1500 kg/m2s, heat flux range of 150-1000 kW/m2, at pressure 241 bar and diameter 10 mm tube, were obtained from literature. CFD simulations have been carried out for those operating conditions and compared with experimental data. Around 362 experimental wall temperature data of both heat transfer enhancement and heat transfer deterioration region have been taken for comparison. A visual… More >

    CFD-BASED STUDY ON HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT BEHIND A PROJECTION IN A MINIATURIZED FLOW CHANNEL BY PULSATING FLOW

    Wakana Hiratsukaa , Takashi Fukueb,*, Hidemi Shirakawac, Katsuyuki Nakayamad, Yasushi Koitoe

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 1-8, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.15.16

    Abstract This paper describes a possibility of heat transfer enhancement in a mm-scale flow channel by using a combination of some projections and pulsating flow. The objective of this research is to develop a novel heat exchanger for miniaturized productions such as high-density packaging electronic equipment by applying pulsating flow to enhance heat transfer while inhibiting an increase of pressure drop. In order to evaluate the possibility of applying pulsating flow to miniature water channels, a three-dimensional flow and heat transfer analysis was performed. Heat transfer performance of a combination of pulsating water flow and a projection was investigated. The mechanism… More >

    Numerical Analysis of the Hydrodynamic Behavior of a Remotely Operated Vehicle in Multi-Directional Flow

    Hongfei Cao1,2, Zhongda Lyu1,2,3,*, Xi Peng2,3, Zhuo Zhao2,3

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.9, pp. 2361-2384, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.027470

    Abstract In recent years, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) have played an increasingly important role in the construction and monitoring of underwater pile foundations. However, due to the open frame structure of such vehicles, a gap of knowledge still exists with regard to their hydrodynamic behavior. In this study, the hydrodynamic stability of such vehicles is investigated numerically by means of a multiple reference frame method. The hydrodynamic characteristics of the ROV when it moves horizontally and upward in the vertical plane are examined. It is found that there is interference between the horizontal and vertical thrusters of the ROV. There is… More >

    INTEGRATED MICRO X-RAY TOMOGRAPHY AND PORE-SCALE SIMULATIONS FOR ACCURATE PERMEABILITY PREDICTIONS OF POROUS MEDIA

    Fangzhou Wanga,* , Gennifer A. Rileyb, Munonyedi Egboc, Melanie M. Derbyb, Gisuk Hwangc, Xianglin Lia,†

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.15, No.1, pp. 1-8, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.15.1

    Abstract This study conducts pore-scale simulations and experiments to estimate the permeability of two different types of porous materials: metal foams and sintered copper particles with porosities of approximately 0.9 and 0.4, respectively. The integration of micro X-ray computed tomography with pore-scale computational fluid dynamics simulations develops a unique tool to capture the pore-scale geometry of porous media and accurately predict non-isotropic permeability of porous media. The pore-scale simulation not only results in improved prediction accuracy but also has the capability to capture non-isotropic properties of heterogeneous materials, which is a huge challenge for empirical correlations, volume averaged simulations, and simulations… More >

    A NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF USING PERSONAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS ON INDOOR AIR QUALITY IN OFFICE ROOMS

    Hussien Aziz Saheb,*, Ala'a Abbas Mahdi, Qusay Rasheed Al-amir

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.16, No.1, pp. 1-15, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.16.9

    Abstract In this study, indoor air quality and thermal comfort were investigated for two persons sitting inside an office room of dimensions (3×2.5×2.5m). The office room is equipped with personal ventilation systems positioned 50 cm from the person's face. These systems are characterized by the ability to change the rates of airflow (ATD). Experimental studies and results were conducted on a thermal manikin that simulates the human body in a sitting position, and the results are compared with CFD analysis using the k-epsilon and the RNG turbulent models. The experimental study focused on measuring the speed and temperature of the air… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.17, No.1, pp. 1-6, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.17.7

    Abstract In this work, a numerical simulation of steady and laminar free convection flow over a heated vertical flat plate embedded in a saturated porous medium by a Newtonian fluid is presented and analyzed. The Brinkman-Forchheimer extension of Darcy’s law has been adopted to describe the movement of fluid within the porous matrix. A numerical solution of the governing continuity, momentum and energy equations was made with the appropriate boundary conditions using ANSYS/FLUENT software based on finite volume method. The found results are graphically presented and physically discussed for main controling parameters. Subsequently, we compared our CFD calculation by the results… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 1-8, 2022, DOI:10.5098/hmt.18.42

    Abstract In this paper, a steady and laminar flow of ferrofluid (Fe3O4/Water) in a uniformly heated tube under the effect of non-uniform magnetic field arranged periodically along the tube is numerically analyzed using the finite volume method. The analysis sheds light on the flow pattern, Nusselt number, friction factor and the Performance Evaluation Criterion, at laminar flow regime (102Re ≤ 103 ) and for various magnetic numbers (Mn = 0, 2.83 · 104 , 6.37 · 104 and 1.13 · 105 ). The obtained results show that the magnetic field generated by periodic arrangement of the wire pitches, forces… More >

    E. Flilihia,† , E. H. Sebbara, D. Achemlala, T. EL Rhafikia, M. Sritib, E. Chaabelasric

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.18, No.1, pp. 1-6, 2022, DOI:10.5098/hmt.18.39

    Abstract In this paper, we made a numerical simulation of convective heat transfer in a rectangular section pipe of a air flat plate solar collector using three forms of the absorber plate namely, simple shape, rectangular-shape, and half circle-shape. The flow is considered laminar and stationary, where the heat exchange between the absorber plate and the fluid takes place in useful area. The computer code in fluid dynamics, the fluent, is applied to integrate the governing equations on each control volume. A detailed description of the fluid flow and heat transfer in the rectangular channel was made. Several simulation were carried… More >
