Abstract The rational design of airflow distribution is of great importance for comfort and energy conservation. Several numerical investigations of flow and temperature characteristics in cockpits have been performed to study the distinct airflow distribution. This study developed the coupled heat transfer model of radiation, convection, and heat conduction for the cockpit flight environment. A three-dimensional physical model was created and a shear stress transfer (SST) k-w turbulence model was well verified with a high prediction accuracy of 91% for the experimental data. The strong inhomogeneous flow and temperature distribution were captured for various initial operating… More >

Abstract This article discussed flow and temperature characteristics of the catalytic combustion furnace based the combustion of lean natural gas-air mixtures in catalytic honeycomb monoliths. Catalytic combustion as a developing technology could make the pollutant emissions (CO and NO_X) to near zero. Within the porous structure, the reactions then take place on the catalytic sites. A heterogeneous catalytic process includes more than one phase. Usually the catalyst is a solid and the reactants and products are in liquid or gaseous form. According to the applications of low- carbon catalytic combustion furnace, heating glazed tiles with pure solid More >
