    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 141-160, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.01525

    Abstract Among the various techniques for enhancing the storage and consumption of energy in a thermal energy storage system, the establishment of thermal stratification in a hot-water container is an effective technology. The current study aims to assess the performance of the thermal stratification for hot-water containers using (ANSYS Fluent) R.1.0, 2022, through the study of the impact of different numbers of paraffin-filled containers, namely 3, 5, and 7, that are equivalent to 5, 7, and 9 kg of paraffin, respectively. To validate the present numerical model, a comparison between the current study results and the experimental findings from the literature… More > Graphic Abstract

    EFFECTS OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS FOR WAVY FINNED-TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER IN TURBULENT FLOW: A CFD MODELING

    Arafat A. Bhuiyana,c, M. Ruhul Aminb, Jamal Naserc, A. K. M. Sadrul Islama

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.6, pp. 1-11, 2015, DOI:10.5098/hmt.6.5

    Abstract In this study, the effects of thermal and hydraulic characteristics of wavy fin and tube heat exchanger are investigated. Simulation has been carried out by a commercial computational fluid dynamics code, ANSYS CFX12.0. The main objective of this study is to investigate the flow characteristics in turbulent flow. Results are predicted for the turbulent flow regime (2100≤Re≤7000) and compared with author’s previous work for laminar (400 ≤Re≤1200) and transitional (1300≤Re≤2000) flow regime. Regarding turbulence, the k-ω model was used to predict the turbulent flow characteristics with 5% turbulence intensity. Predicted results were compared with the experimental data for the purpose… More >

    EXPERIMENTAL AND 3D-CFD STUDY ON OPTIMIZATION OF CONTROL VALVE DIAMETER FOR A CONVERGENT VORTEX TUBE

    Seyed Ehsan Rafiee*, M. M. Sadeghiazad

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.7, pp. 1-15, 2016, DOI:10.5098/hmt.7.13

    Abstract The aim of this investigation is study on separation phenomenon inside a special vortex tube affected by structural and physical factors including; throttle diameter, nozzle number and injection pressure as well as the parametric optimization based on separation efficiency using experimental and 3D-CFD methods. The results show that convergent VT with Dth=5.5mm provides 30.01% and 20.04% higher cooling and heating effectiveness compared to basic model. As another result, the higher injection pressure, the higher cooling effectiveness. The cooling effectiveness improves (16.86%) with increase in slot number up to N=4, then decreases. The maximum disagreement between experimental and predicted values is… More >

    A NEURAL NETWORK BASED METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF HEAT GENERATION FROM A TEFLON CYLINDER

    Sharath Kumar, Harsha Kumar, N. Gnanasekaran*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.7, pp. 1-7, 2016, DOI:10.5098/hmt.7.15

    Abstract The paper reports the estimation of volumetric heat generation (qv) from a Teflon cylinder. An aluminum heater, which acts as a heat source, is placed at the center of the Teflon cylinder. The problem under consideration is modeled as a three dimensional steady state conjugate heat transfer from the Teflon cylinder. The model is created and simulations are performed using ANSYS FLUENT to obtain temperature data for the known heat generation qv. The numerical model developed using ANSYS acts as a forward model. The inverse model used in this work is Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Estimation of heat generation is… More >

    CFD MODELING OF NATURAL CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER OF TIO2-WATER NANOFLUID IN A CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER

    Seyed Milad Mirabedin*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.7, pp. 1-6, 2016, DOI:10.5098/hmt.7.17

    Abstract This work focuses on numerical validation of natural convection heat transfer of TiO2-water nanofluids in a cylindrical container using COMSOL. The main aim of this study is to examine different available approaches to calculate effective thermal conductivity and compare them with experimental data available in the literature. Simulation results show that for considered mixture, average Nusselt number decreases by increasing Rayleigh number and particle volume fraction. It has been found that only one model was able to represent similar trends for given particle volume fractions, compared to experimental results. More >

    EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SHAPES ON CHARACTERISTICS OF CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER OF MICRO CHANNEL HEAT SINK

    Ankit Kanor, R Manimaran*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.7, pp. 1-5, 2016, DOI:10.5098/hmt.7.25

    Abstract One of the effective liquid cooling techniques for microelectronic devices is attaching micro channel heat sink to the inactive side of chip. A micro channel heat sink is a device that decreases temperature by flowing coolant through micro channels. The present study focuses on the conjugate heat transfer analyses for different cross-sections (trapezoidal, hexagonal, octagonal and circular).After present study is validated with the published result in the literature, the comparative study of parallel and counter flow configuration is performed. Different geometries are modeled using CATIA V5 software and simulated in ANSYS Fluent R14. From these CFD simulations, preferred configuration of… More >

    Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of High-Speed Pantographs with Supporting Beam Wind Deflectors

    Shiyang Song1,*, Tongxin Han2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 127-145, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.030137

    Abstract Aiming to mitigate the aerodynamic lift force imbalance between pantograph strips, which exacerbates wear and affects the current collection performance of the pantograph-catenary system, a study has been conducted to support the beam deflector optimization using a combination of experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results demonstrate that the size, position, and installation orientation of the wind deflectors significantly influence the amount of force compensation. They also indicate that the front strip deflectors should be installed downwards and the rear strip deflectors upwards, thereby forming a “π” shape. Moreover, the lift force compensation provided by the wind… More >

    A CFD Model to Evaluate Near-Surface Oil Spill from a Broken Loading Pipe in Shallow Coastal Waters

    Portia Felix1, Lee Leon1,*, Derek Gay1, Stefano Salon2, Hazi Azamathulla1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.1, pp. 59-77, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.028031

    Abstract Oil spills continue to generate various issues and concerns regarding their effect and behavior in the marine environment, owing to the related potential for detrimental environmental, economic and social implications. It is essential to have a solid understanding of the ways in which oil interacts with the water and the coastal ecosystems that are located nearby. This study proposes a simplified model for predicting the plume-like transport behavior of heavy Bunker C fuel oil discharging downward from an acutely-angled broken pipeline located on the water surface. The results show that the spill overall profile is articulated in three major flow… More >

    Shiyue Zhang1, Xue Song1,2, Jingying Wang1,*, Wen Huang3,*, Yue Zhou4, Mingrui Li1

    Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 81-94, 2023, DOI:10.32604/mcb.2023.044445

    Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE), caused by deep venous thrombosis (DVT), is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. Implantation of inferior vena cava filters is an important method for the clinical prevention of PE. The hemodynamic characteristics of filters implanted in the inferior vena cava (IVC) have a significant impact on their performance. However, IVC diameters vary among patients. This may have a direct impact on the hemodynamic properties of the filter. At present, there is no research on this kind of problem to be investigated. In this paper, the hemodynamic properties of the VenaTech convertible filter were simulated in three… More > Graphic Abstract
