Transfer simulation

The simulations of fluid flow and heat transfer in such microstructured geometries were carried out with an FVM solver. Air with an inlet temperature of 100 °C was considered as a fluid, and the channel walls were modeled as isothermal with a temperature of 0 °C. The streamline pattern is characterized by recirculation zones which develop behind the fins at comparatively high Reynolds numbers. The results of the heat transfer simulations are summarized in Figure 2.34, which shows the Nusselt number as a fimction of Reynolds number. For... 

The validation of CFD codes by comparison to reliable experiments is of the highest importance. Especially promising is the use of MRI methods to non-invasively provide flow fields and dispersion data. Major challenges will be to extend MRI and similar methods such as LDV and particle tracking to a wider range of conditions, and to develop noninvasive measurements of temperature to improve verification of heat transfer simulations. 

First, second and 5th order polynomial interpolation for the specific heat capacity of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic (PA6). When performing a heat transfer simulation (heating or cooling) for a thermoplastic, the complete course of the specific heat capacity as a function of temperature is needed. A common way to do this...

For CFD analysis of CVD systems, it is important to define correct boundary conditions for conservation equations. Typical example attributes of boundary conditions used in flow and heat transfer simulations are velocity, gas concentration, and temperature of the boundary areas. If an inlet boundary is selected such that it contains too many unknown initial values for the problem, one should extend the boundary area to as far as a bound where all initial variable values are known. In assigning the initial values of the boundary areas, it is a common practice to make the following assumptions [58, 59],... 

With a few exceptions, the fluid flow must be simulated before the mass-transfer simulations can be rigorously performed. Nevertheless, here are several important situations, such as that at a rotating disk electrode, where the fluid flow is known analytically or from an exact, numerical solution. Thus there exists a body of work that was done before CFD was a readily available tool (for example, see Refs. 34-37). In many of these studies, a boundary-layer analysis, based on a Lighthill transformation (Ref. 1, Chapter 17), is employed.

The standard k-e model focuses on mechanisms that affect the turbulent kinetic energy. Robusmess, economy, and reasonable accuracy over a wide range of turbulent flows explain its popularity in industrial flow and heat transfer simulations. The RNG k-e model was derived using a rigorous statistical technique (called Re-Normalization Group theory). It is similar in form to the standard k-e model, but the effect of swirl on turbulence is included in the RNG mode enhancing the accuracy for swirling flows.

In order to provide some physical insight into the dynamics of microchannel heat sinks (MCHS), steady laminar water flow in a smooth single trapezoidal microchannel is discussed and compared with measured data sets. Then the effects of nanofluids on augmented MCHS heat transfer are introduced, employing very simple correlations for the enhanced thermal conductivities of the mixtures. The fluid flow and heat transfer simulations have been carried out with the commercial... 

Ammonia is removed by a IM H2SO4 water solution scrubber the liquid solution entering from the top of the tower (a SCDS column settled as packed column mass transfer simulation model) is continuously fed by a make-up quantity corresponding to the amount needed for the ammonia removal. At the bottom of the column gaseous ammonia enters at T = 95°C, it dissolves into the acid solution, diffuses and rapidly reacts with the H+ ions via ammonia protonation following thermodynamics of electrolyte non-random two liquid (Electrolyte NRTL) approach.

In the simulation, the heat transfer between the coolant and solution is simplified as the heat transfer from the wall to the solution in the mixing tank. In order to maintain the solution temperature on a specific cooling curve during the batch, the wall temperature should be reset over time according to the process requirements. The variation of the wall temperature over time results in the variation of the solution temperature over time and in accordance with the location based on the heat transfer simulation. Based on the solution temperature distribution at the current time step, i, and at the last time step, i-1, the rate of transferred heat as well as the average temperature of the solution at the current time step i can be calculated. Furthermore, the heat transfer coefficient at the current time step, /, can be calculated using the rate of transferred heat and the temperature difference between the solution and the wall. The main equation for the calculation of heat transfer can be expressed as ... 

A very similar combined process scheme integrating OCM and steam reforming of methane (SRM) was suggested at the same time by Tiemersma et al [44].

The interfacial mass transfer simulator was made of quartz glass with an inner size of 200 mm in length, 20 mm in width, and 40 mm in height. The liquid was initially quiescent in the simulator with a thickness of 10 mm. Nitrogen gas successively passed through activated carbon, silica gel, and molecular sieve to remove the impurities and water, and then presaturated by the solvent in a tank in order to reduce the influence of solvent evaporation. The hquid was likewise presaturated by nitrogen gas to avoid the gas absorption into the liquid. The liquid concentrations near the gas inlet and outlet positions of the simulator were measured by the gas chromatography. 

The overall goal of this project is to develop a simphfied approach to predict the part temperature and to estimate a minimum safe eooling time using one dimensional heat transfer simulation and to establish rules or guidehnes as to how this approach can be applied to eomplieated parts. In this paper, we present the method and show eomparison to experimental result using simple and eomplex molds.
