Abstract RP-3 is a kind of aviation kerosene commonly used in hypersonic and scramjet engines due to its superior thermal stability, high energy density, and ability to act as a coolant before combustion. However, it is known that coke can be generated during the cooling process as a carbonaceous deposition on metal walls and its effects on the cooling performance are still largely unknown. To explore the influence mechanism of porous coke on heat transfer characteristics of supercritical RP-3 in the regenerative cooling channel, a series of computational simulations were conducted via a three-dimensional CFD… More >

Abstract The evaporation of micrometer and millimeter liquid drops, involving a liquid-to-vapor phase transition accompanied by mass and energy transfer through the liquid-vapor interface, is encountered in many natural and industrial processes as well as in numerous engineering applications. Therefore, understanding and predicting the dynamics of evaporating flows have become of primary importance. Recent efforts have been addressed using the method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), which has proven to be very efficient in correctly handling the intrinsic complexity introduced by the multiscale nature of the evaporation process. This paper aims to provide an overview of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The aim of this paper was to characterize through experiment the moisture and temperature kinetic behavior of Eucalyptus gomphocephala wood samples using microwave heating (MWH) in two scenarios: intermittently and continuously. The mechanical properties and surface appearance of the heated samples were also investigated. Continuous and intermittent microwave drying kinetic experiments were conducted at a frequency of 2.45 GHz using a microwave laboratory oven at 300, 500, and 1000 watts. Drying rate curves indicated three distinct phases of MWH. Increasing the microwave power with a shorter drying time led to rapid increases in internal temperature and… More >

Abstract The goal of this work is, first of all, to construct a mathematical model of the mass transfer process in porous adsorption layers, taking into account the fact that in most cases the adsorption process is carried out in non-stationary technological modes, which requires a clear description of its various stages. The scientific contribution of the novel model is based on a probability approach allowing for deriving a differential equation that takes into account the diffusion migration of adsorbed particles. Solving this equation allows us to calculate the reduced degree of the adsorption surface coverage… More >

Abstract The study of average convection in a rotating cavity subjected to modulated rotation is an interesting area for the development of both fundamental and applied science. This phenomenon finds application in the field of mass transfer and fluid flow control, relevant examples being crystal growth under reduced gravity and fluid mixing in microfluidic devices for cell cultures. In this study, the averaged flow generated by the oscillating motion of a fluid in a planar layer rotating about a horizontal axis is experimentally investigated. The boundaries of the layer are maintained at constant temperatures, while the… More >

Abstract Continuous-flow microchannels are widely employed for synthesizing various materials, including nanoparticles, polymers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to name a few. Microsystem technology allows precise control over reaction parameters, resulting in purer, more uniform, and structurally stable products due to more effective mass transfer manipulation. However, continuous-flow synthesis processes may be accompanied by the emergence of spatial convective structures initiating convective flows. On the one hand, convection can accelerate reactions by intensifying mass transfer. On the other hand, it may lead to non-uniformity in the final product or defects, especially in MOF microcrystal synthesis. The ability… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Heat and mass transport through evaporation or drying processes occur in many applications such as food processing, pharmaceutical products, solar-driven vapor generation, textile design, and electronic cigarettes. In this paper, the transport of water from a fresh potato considered as a wet porous media with laminar convective dry air fluid flow governed by Darcy’s law in two-dimensional is highlighted. Governing equations of mass conservation, momentum conservation, multiphase fluid flow in porous media, heat transfer, and transport of participating fluids and gases through evaporation from liquid to gaseous phase are solved simultaneously. In this model, the… More >

Abstract In the current research, a thorough examination unfolds concerning the attributes of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow and heat transfer inherent to nanoliquids derived from Sisko Al₂O₃-Eg and TiO₂-Eg compositions. Such nanoliquids are subjected to an extending surface. Consideration is duly given to slip boundary conditions, as well as the effects stemming from variable viscosity and variable thermal conductivity. The analytical approach applied involves the application of suitable similarity transformations. These conversions serve to transform the initial set of complex nonlinear partial differential equations into a more manageable assembly of ordinary differential equations. Through the utilization… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The ambiguous dynamics associated with heat and mass transfer of invading carbon dioxide in sub-critical and supercritical states, as well as the response of pore-scale resident fluids, play a key role in understanding CO₂ capture and storage (CCUS) and the corresponding phase equilibrium mechanisms. To this end, this paper reveals the transport mechanisms of invading supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) in polluted micromodels using a variant of Lattice-Boltzmann Color Fluid model and descriptive experimental data. The breakthrough time is evaluated by characterizing the displacement velocity, the capillary to pressuredifference ratio, and the transient heat and mass diffusion More >
