    Jupudi Lakshmi Rama Prasad1, F. Mebarek-Oudina2,*, G. Dharmaiah3, Putta Babu Rao4, H. Vaidya5

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.5, pp. 1515-1532, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.057854 - 30 October 2024

    Abstract There is a strong relationship between analytical and numerical heat transfers due to thermodynamically anticipated findings, making thermo-dynamical modeling an effective tool for estimating the ideal melting point of heat transfer. Under certain assumptions, the present study builds a mathematical model of melting heat transport nanofluid flow of chemical reactions and joule heating. Nanofluid flow is described by higher-order partial non-linear differential equations. Incorporating suitable similarity transformations and dimensionless parameters converts these controlling partial differential equations into the non-linear ordinary differential equations and resulting system of nonlinear equations is established.

    Abstract Helically coiled tube-in-tube (HCTT) heat exchangers are widely applied to the process technology because of their compactness and higher heat transfer efficiency. HCTT heat exchangers play an important role in liquified natural gas (LNG) use and cold energy recovery. The heat transfer characteristics, pressure distribution, and degree of vaporization of LNG in HCTT heat exchangers are numerically investigated. By comparing the simulation results of the computational model with existing experimental results, the effectiveness of the computational model is verified. The numerical simulation results show the vapor volume fraction of the HCTT heat exchanger is related… More >

    Yuming Zhao1, Jing Wang1, Bin Sun2, Zhenshang Wang1, Huashan Li2, Jiongcong Chen2,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.22, No.4, pp. 1171-1188, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2024.054594 - 30 August 2024

    Abstract Data centers (DCs) are highly energy-intensive facilities, where about 30%–50% of the power consumed is attributable to the cooling of information technology equipment. This makes liquid cooling, especially in two-phase mode, as an alternative to air cooling for the microprocessors in servers of interest. The need to meet the increased power density of server racks in high-performance DCs, along with the push towards lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants due to environmental concerns, has motivated research on the selection of two-phase heat transfer fluids for cooling servers while simultaneously recovering waste heat. With this regard,… More >

    Numerical Simulation of Thermocapillary Convection with Evaporation Induced by Boundary Heating

    O. N. Goncharova1, V. B. Bekezhanova2,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.7, pp. 1667-1686, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.047959 - 23 July 2024

    Abstract The dynamics of a bilayer system filling a rectangular cuvette subjected to external heating is studied. The influence of two types of thermal exposure on the flow pattern and on the dynamic contact angle is analyzed. In particular, the cases of local heating from below and distributed thermal load from the lateral walls are considered. The simulation is carried out within the frame of a two-sided evaporative convection model based on the Boussinesq approximation. A benzine–air system is considered as reference system. The variation in time of the contact angle is described for both heating More > Graphic Abstract

    Xin Liu1,*, Kai Yan2, Bo Fang3, Xiaoyu Sun3, Daqiang Feng4, Li Yin5

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.7, pp. 1539-1552, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.047922 - 23 July 2024

    Abstract In response to the complex characteristics of actual low-permeability tight reservoirs, this study develops a meshless-based numerical simulation method for oil-water two-phase flow in these reservoirs, considering complex boundary shapes. Utilizing radial basis function point interpolation, the method approximates shape functions for unknown functions within the nodal influence domain. The shape functions constructed by the aforementioned meshless interpolation method have δ-function properties, which facilitate the handling of essential aspects like the controlled bottom-hole flow pressure in horizontal wells. Moreover, the meshless method offers greater flexibility and freedom compared to grid cell discretization, making it simpler… More >

    Abstract Electrification of vehicles intensifies their cooling demands due to the requirements of maintaining electronics/electrical systems below their maximum temperature threshold. In this paper, passive cooling approaches based on heat pipes have been considered for the thermal management of electric vehicle (EV) traction systems including battery, inverter, and motor. For the battery, a heat pipe base plate is used to provide high heat removal (180 W per module) and better thermal uniformity (<5°C) for the battery modules in a pack while downsizing the liquid cold plate system. In the case of Inverter, two phase cooling system… More > Graphic Abstract

    Lihui Ma1,*, Zhuo Han1, Wei Li1, Guangfeng Qi1, Ran Cheng2, Yuanyuan Wang1, Xiangran Mi3, Xiaohan Zhang1, Yunfei Li1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.6, pp. 1381-1392, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2024.046405 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract When a gas-liquid two-phase flow (GLTPF) enters a parallel separator through a T-junction, it generally splits unevenly. This phenomenon can seriously affect the operation efficiency and safety of the equipment located downstream. In order to investigate these aspects and, more specifically, the so-called bias phenomenon (all gas and liquid flowing to one pipe, while the other pipe is a liquid column that fluctuates up and down), laboratory experiments were carried out by using a T-junction connected to two parallel vertical pipes. Moreover, a GLTPF prediction model based on the principle of minimum potential energy was… More >

    Abstract A self-priming pump is a centrifugal pump that has the ability to prime itself. Typically, its performance depends on the configuration of its reflux hole. In this study, the ANSYS FLUENT software is used to investigate the effects of three different radial positions of the reflux hole on gas-liquid two-phase distribution, pressure pulsation, and imp during self-priming. The research results indicate that: (1) The effective channel size for the reflux liquid to enter the volute varies depending on the location of the reflux hole. The effect of the impeller rotation on the reflux liquid becomes… More >
