    The Turbulent Schmidt Number for Transient Contaminant Dispersion in a Large Ventilated Room Using a Realizable k-ε Model

    Fei Wang, Qinpeng Meng, Jinchi Zhao, Xin Wang, Yuhong Liu, Qianru Zhang*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.4, pp. 829-846, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.026917

    Abstract Buildings with large open spaces in which chemicals are handled are often exposed to the risk of explosions. Computational fluid dynamics is a useful and convenient way to investigate contaminant dispersion in such large spaces. The turbulent Schmidt number (Sct) concept has typically been used in this regard, and most studies have adopted a default value. We studied the concentration distribution for sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) assuming different emission rates and considering the effect of Sct. Then we examined the same problem for a light gas by assuming hydrogen gas (H2) as the contaminant. When SF6 was considered as the contaminant… More >

    Shichao Cao*, Yonggang Dong, Xiaoying Liu

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.4, pp. 1109-1125, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.043004

    Abstract The synchronous virtual machine uses inverter power to imitate the performance of the conventional synchronous machine. It also has the same inertia, damping, frequency, voltage regulation, and other external performance as the generator. It is the key technology to realize new energy grid connections’ stable and reliable operation. This project studies a dynamic simulation model of an extensive new energy power system based on the virtual synchronous motor. A new energy storage method is proposed. The mathematical energy storage model is established by combining the fixed rotor model of a synchronous virtual machine with the charge-discharge power, state of charge,… More >

    TRANSIENT RAYLEIGH-BÉNARD-MARANGONI CONVECTION ENHANCED GAS-LIQUID SOLUTE TRANSFER IN THIN LAYERS

    Muthasim Fahmy, Zhifa Sun

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.4, pp. 1-14, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.4.3003

    Abstract A gas-liquid solute transfer process initiated in a closed vessel can exhibit Rayleigh-Bénard-Marangoni (RBM) convection enhanced mass transfer. For short exposure times experimental and theoretical results demonstrate that for deep liquid systems prior to solute penetration across the depth of the fluid, the stability thresholds of the system decreases with time. For thin liquid layers at longer exposure times the mass transfer enhancement under RBM convection can be affected in two ways: (1) solute penetration to the bottom liquid-solid boundary causing a departure from a penetration type concentration profile; (2) solute penetration to the top gas-solid boundary in the gas… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 1-8, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.3.3005

    Abstract Pan Retinal photocoagulation (PRP), a retinal laser surgical process, is simulated using a three-dimensional bio-heat transfer numerical model. Spots of two different type of array, square array of 3 × 3 spots and a circular array of six spots surrounding a central spot, are sequentially irradiated. Pennes bio-heat transfer model is used as the governing equation. Finite volume method is applied to find the temperature distribution due to laser irradiation inside the human eye. Each spot is heated for 100 ms and subsequently cooled for 100 ms with an initial laser power of 0.2 W. Based on the outcome of… More >

    A CORRELATION FOR NUSSELT NUMBER UNDER TURBULENT MIXED CONVECTION USING TRANSIENT HEAT TRANSFER EXPERIMENTS

    N. Gnanasekaran, C. Balaji*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 1-6, 2011, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v2.2.3008

    Abstract This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation of transient, turbulent mixed convection in a vertical channel in which one of the walls is heated and the other is adiabatic. The goal is to simultaneously estimate the constants in a Nusselt number correlation whose form is assumed a priori by synergistically marrying the experimental results with repeated numerical calculations that assume guess values of the constants. The convective heat transfer coefficient “h”is replaced by the Nusselt number (Nu) and the constants in the Nusselt number are to be evaluated. From the experimentally obtained temperature time history and the simulated… More >

    A Transient-Pressure-Based Numerical Approach for Interlayer Identification in Sand Reservoirs

    Hao Luo1, Haibo Deng1, Honglin Xiao1, Shaoyang Geng2,*, Fu Hou1, Gang Luo1, Yaqi Li2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.3, pp. 641-659, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.043565

    Abstract Almost all sandstone reservoirs contain interlayers. The identification and characterization of these interlayers is critical for minimizing the uncertainty associated with oilfield development and improving oil and gas recovery. Identifying interlayers outside wells using identification methods based on logging data and machine learning is difficult and seismic-based identification techniques are expensive. Herein, a numerical model based on seepage and well-testing theories is introduced to identify interlayers using transient pressure data. The proposed model relies on the open-source MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox. The effects of the interlayer thickness, position, and width on the pressure response are thoroughly investigated. A procedure for… More >

    TRANSIENT FREE CONVECTION MHD FLOW PAST A VERTICAL PLATE WITH EXPONENTIALLY DECAYING WALL TEMPERATURE AND RADIATION

    Rudra Kanta Dekaa, Ashish Paulb,*, Nityajyoti Kalitac

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.6, pp. 1-5, 2015, DOI:10.5098/hmt.6.15

    Abstract A theoretical study of thermal radiation effects on unsteady MHD natural convection flow of an electrically conducting fluid past a vertical plate with variable temperature is considered. It is supposed that the temperature of the plate decays exponentially with time. Exact solutions to the nondimensionalised coupled linear partial differential equations representing the flow problem are obtained using Laplace transform technique. Effects of different physical parameters involved in the temperature and velocity profiles are investigated, shown graphically and discussed. Skin friction and Nusselt number are also derived and their variations with respect to the parameters are investigated. More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 245-264, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.041778

    Abstract This article aims to reveal the transient thermal characteristics of the solid domain in a nozzle flowmeter when measuring fluids of varying temperatures. Based on finite element method, the transient numerical calculation of the thermal characteristics of each component of the nozzle flowmeter has been conducted. The research shows that: as the fluid passes through the flowmeter, the high heat flux area inside the nozzle flowmeter gradually transfer from the center of the nozzle to the inlet and outlet, as well as the pressure tapping points upstream and downstream; High thermal stress zones are present near the upstream and downstream… More >
