    DOUBLE DIFFUSION EFFECTS ON CONVECTION IN FLOW ON VERTICAL PLATE IMBEDDED IN POROUS MEDIA

    Z. Aouachriaa,*, F. Rouichia, D. Haddadb

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.2, pp. 1-6, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.2.3004

    Abstract Natural convection flow past a vertical porous plate in a porous medium is studied numerically, by taking into account the Dufour and Soret effects. The similarity equations of the problem considered are obtained by using usual similarity technique. This system of ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by using the Nachtsheim -Swigerst hooting iteration technique together with a sixth order Runge-Kutta integrations scheme. The results show that Soret and Dufour effects do not appreciably influence the velocity, temperature and concentration fields, but rather only tend to increase the mass and energy flux due to the added contributions.

    Ahmad Najjaran1, Ali R. Tahavvor, Abdolkarim Najjaran, Mohammad A. Ahmadfard

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.3, pp. 1-6, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.3.3007

    Abstract In this paper, external radiation heat transfer coefficient and flux of a standing human body model are calculated for different emissivity coefficients and various temperature differences. To do this, a standing human body sample is designed in such a way that hands and feet are totally open and stretched. Soles are in contact with the ground and so do not have heat transfer. The results are extracted by weighted average method. Despite the existence of the air around the body in reality, the convection heat transfer of human body with the surrounding air is neglected in order to prevent errors… More >

    NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FLUID FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN A MEMS-BASED MICRO CHANNEL HEAT SINK

    Md. Farhad Ismaila,*, M.A.I. Rashidb , M. Mahbubb

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.3, pp. 1-8, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.3.3002

    Abstract Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been proven to be an effective material for the thermal management of MEMS-based devices due to its superior thermal conductivity. At the same time, micro-channel heat-sinks are widely used in electronic products as a high performance heat transfer device because of its simple construction, easy fabrication process and effective heat removal capability. A numerical study has been carried out to investigate the thermal-fluid characteristics of the aligned and staggered MWCNT (multi walled CNT) based micro pin fins having 650 µm long with hydraulic diameter of ~130 µm. Average heat transfer coefficients have been obtained for effective… More >

    RADIO FREQUENCY HEATING OF IMPLANTED TISSUE ENGINEERED SCAFFOLDS: SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES

    Mohammad Izadifara,b,*, Xiongbiao Chena,b

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.4, pp. 1-7, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.4.3004

    Abstract Heat can be potentially used for accelerating biodegradation of implanted tissue engineered scaffolds. Cyclic and continuous radio frequency (RF) heating was applied to implanted chitosan and alginate scaffolds at 4 applied voltages, 3 frequencies, and 2 thermally conditioning environments. A 3D finite element model was developed to simulate the RF treatment. A uniform RF heating was achieved at the scaffold top. For alginate, voltage was the only significant RF heating factor while both frequency and voltage significantly affected RF heating of chitosan. Less temperature gradient across the scaffold was achieved at a conditioning environment at <30°C. Surrounding tissue was insignificantly… More >

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2747-2772, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047129

    Abstract The expansion chamber serves as the primary silencing structure within the exhaust pipeline. However, it can also act as a sound-emitting structure when subjected to airflow. This article presents a hybrid method for numerically simulating and analyzing the unsteady flow and aerodynamic noise in an expansion chamber under the influence of airflow. A fluid simulation model is established, utilizing the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method to calculate the unsteady flow within the expansion chamber. The simulation results effectively capture the development and changes of the unsteady flow and vorticity inside the cavity, exhibiting a high level of consistency with experimental… More > Graphic Abstract

    Investigation of Projectile Impact Behaviors of Graphene Aerogel Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations

    Xinyu Zhang1, Wenjie Xia2, Yang Wang3,4, Liang Wang1,*, Xiaofeng Liu1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3047-3061, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.046922

    Abstract Graphene aerogel (GA), as a novel solid material, has shown great potential in engineering applications due to its unique mechanical properties. In this study, the mechanical performance of GA under high-velocity projectile impacts is thoroughly investigated using full-atomic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The study results show that the porous structure and density are key factors determining the mechanical response of GA under impact loading. Specifically, the impact-induced penetration of the projectile leads to the collapse of the pore structure, causing stretching and subsequent rupture of covalent bonds in graphene sheets. Moreover, the effects of temperature on the mechanical performance of… More >

    Sub-Homogeneous Peridynamic Model for Fracture and Failure Analysis of Roadway Surrounding Rock

    Shijun Zhao1, Qing Zhang2, Yusong Miao1, Weizhao Zhang3, Xinbo Zhao1, Wei Xu1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 3167-3187, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.045015

    Abstract The surrounding rock of roadways exhibits intricate characteristics of discontinuity and heterogeneity. To address these complexities, this study employs non-local Peridynamics (PD) theory and reconstructs the kernel function to represent accurately the spatial decline of long-range force. Additionally, modifications to the traditional bond-based PD model are made. By considering the micro-structure of coal-rock materials within a uniform discrete model, heterogeneity characterized by bond random pre-breaking is introduced. This approach facilitates the proposal of a novel model capable of handling the random distribution characteristics of material heterogeneity, rendering the PD model suitable for analyzing the deformation and failure of heterogeneous layered… More >

    Hang Cui1, Hongbo Ren1,*, Qiong Wu1,2, Hang Lv1, Qifen Li1,2, Weisheng Zhou3

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.3, pp. 581-601, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.047470

    Abstract Cascading faults have been identified as the primary cause of multiple power outages in recent years. With the emergence of integrated energy systems (IES), the conventional approach to analyzing power grid cascading faults is no longer appropriate. A cascading fault analysis method considering multi-energy coupling characteristics is of vital importance. In this study, an innovative analysis method for cascading faults in integrated heat and electricity systems (IHES) is proposed. It considers the degradation characteristics of transmission and energy supply components in the system to address the impact of component aging on cascading faults. Firstly, degradation models for the current carrying… More >

    The Effects of Thickness and Location of PCM on the Building’s Passive Temperature-Control–A Numerical Study

    Zhengrong Shi1,3, Jie Ren1, Tao Zhang1,3,*, Yanming Shen2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.3, pp. 681-702, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.045238

    Abstract Building energy consumption and building carbon emissions both account for more than 20% of their total national values in China. Building employing phase change material (PCM) for passive temperature control shows a promising prospect in meeting the comfort demand and reducing energy consumption simultaneously. However, there is a lack of more detailed research on the interaction between the location and thickness of PCM and indoor natural convection, as well as indoor temperature distribution. In this study, the numerical model of a passive temperature-controlled building integrating the developed PCM module is established with the help of ANSYS. In which, the actual… More > Graphic Abstract
