DNS investigation on flame structure and scalar dissipation of a supersonic lifted hydrogen jet flame in heated coflow

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a three-dimensional spatially-developing supersonic lifted hydrogen jet flame has been conducted in this paper. The scalar structure of the lifted flame is investigated through instantaneous images and conditional means of combustion statistics. And then the scalar dissipation rate and its implications on the flamelet-based combustion modeling are analyzed in detail. It can be found that most of the heat release occurs in the subsonic region. However, distributed reaction pockets exist in the sonic mixing layer due to the rolled up vortices. The magnitude of conditional compression or expansion rate of the fluid presents comparable to the corresponding heat release rate, and takes a great influence on the flame temperature in the high speed reacting flow. The probability density functions of mean conditional and unconditional scalar dissipation rate prove to qualitatively agree with the presumed log-normal distribution, while a little skewed to the higher scalar dissipation rate in the sonic mixing layer. The conditional mean scalar dissipation rate presents to be radial dependent at the flame base, especially in the fuel lean mixture. The DNS results show good agreement with the trends of the flamelet calculations; however, the amplitudes of temperature are far lower than the corresponding flamelet statistics due to finite rate reaction and expansion of the high speed reacting flow.     

Effect of Prandtl number on leading edge accretion and ablation: A numerical study of unsteady boundary layer flow over a flat plate

An efficient numerical method, namely, the Runge‐Kutta fourth order integration scheme with shooting technique is employed to give a suitable solution for the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of viscous incompressible fluid with accretion or ablation effects over a flat plate under the influence of homogenous first order chemical reaction. When compared to the other numerical techniques such as perturbation methods, this approach provides the accurate numerical results valid uniformly for all nondimensional time. The unsteady behavior of chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow is investigated by analyzing the nature of buoyancy and magnetic parameters in the momentum equation. Also, results are extended to the energy and concentration equations by considering the viscous dissipation, Joule heating and chemical reaction effects. With the help of suitable similarity transformations, the highly nonlinear, coupled, time‐dependent partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations. Furthermore, the numerical solutions in terms of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles within the boundary layer are presented for the various values of control parameters. Also, the impact of physical parameters on the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics are examined thoroughly. The present investigation reports that, the increasing magnetic parameter increases the temperature field and decreases the velocity field. Also, Eckert number enhance the thermal field whereas, the chemical reaction parameter decays the concentration field. Before concluding the considered problem, present results are validated with the previous results and are found to be in good agreement.

Numerical Simulation of Low-Mach-Number Laminar Mixing and Reacting Flows Using a Dual-Purpose Pressure-Based Algorithm

Benefitting from an analogy between compressible and incompressible governing equations, a novel dual-purpose, pressure-based finite-volume algorithm is suitably extended to simulate laminar mixing and reacting flows in low-Mach-number regimes. In our test cases, the Mach number is as high as 0.00326. Definitely, such low-Mach-number flows cannot be readily solved by either regular density-based solvers or most of their extensions. To examine the accuracy and performance of the extended formulation and algorithm, we simulate two benchmark cases including the mixing natural-convection flow in a square cavity with strong temperature gradients and the premixed reacting flow through annuli with high, sharp density variations. In both cases, the fluid flow is treated as an ideal gas, whose properties vary with temperature variation assuming Sutherland's law. Additionally, we do not take into account the Boussinesq limit in treating highly thermobuoyant flow fields. The current results are validated against other available benchmarks and reliable numerical solutions. Despite using a pressure-based algorithm, the Mach number and density variations are predicted very accurately.     

Numerical modelling of second‐grade fluid flow past a stretching sheet

The present numerical study reports the chemically reacting boundary layer flow of a magnetohydrodynamic second‐grade fluid past a stretching sheet under the influence of internal heat generation or absorption with work done due to deformation in the presence of a porous medium. To distinguish the non‐Newtonian behaviour of the second‐grade fluid with those of Newtonian fluids, a very popularly known second‐grade fluid flow model is used. The fourth order momentum equation with four appropriate boundary conditions along with temperature and concentration equations governing the second‐grade fluid flow are coupled and highly nonlinear in nature. Well‐established similarity transformations are efficiently used to reduce the dimensional flow equations into a set of nondimensional ordinary differential equations with the necessary conditions. The standard bvp4c MATLAB solver is effectively used to solve the fluid flow equations to get the numerical solutions in terms of velocity, temperature, and concentration fields. Numerical results are obtained for a different set of physical parameters and their behaviour is described through graphs and tables. The viscoelastic parameter enhances the velocity field whereas the magnetic and porous parameters suppress the velocity field in the flow region. The temperature field is magnified for increasing values of the heat source/sink parameter. However, from the present numerical study, it is noticed that the flow of heat occurs from sheet to the surrounding ambient fluid. Before concluding the considered problem, our results are validated with previous results and are found to be in good agreement.     

Effects of Hall current and heat transfer on flow due to a pull of eccentric rotating disks

The influence of Hall current and heat transfer on the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid is investigated. The fluid is between two infinite disks rotating about non-coaxial axes normal to the disks in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The flow is due to a constant velocities of eccentric rotating disks. Exact solutions are derived for the velocity, force and torque exerted by the fluid on one of the disk and temperature distribution.     

LES analysis of flow and turbulent mixing in an unsteady jet

The flow and mixing process of unsteady jets are fundamentally analyzed by large eddy simulations. The effects of nozzle velocity and turbulence intensity on the turbulent eddy structure and mixing process between the nozzle fluid and ambient fluid were investigated. The results show that a toroidal‐shaped vortex, which emerges around the jet tip, primarily accelerates the entraining flow. Also, increasing the turbulence intensity in the nozzle encourages mixing in the jet without changing the jet‐contour. Furthermore, when the rise‐up time of the initial nozzle velocity is elongated, turbulent mixing is suppressed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Study on the destabilization mixing in the flat plate photobioreactor by means of CFD

One destabilizing structure applied in the flat plate photobioreactor was designed, and the flow field and particle trajectory in it were simulated by means of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to optimize structural parameters of photobioreactor. The results showed that the vertical velocity along the light path was produced in the condition of destabilization, which helps to achieve homogenous mixing of medium needed for microalgae growth. The fluid micelle in the flow field waved regularly, which made the algae cell transmitted between light and dark area and enhance the efficiency of photosynthesis. This destabilizing structure had a great potential to be used in the photobioreactor design.     

Numerical investigation on mixing behavior of fuels inreacting and non-reacting flow condition of a cavity-strut based scramjet combustor

The present study discusses the effects of reacting and non-reacting flow conditions on the flow physics of a scramjet combustor. A cavity based supersonic combustor with a triangular strut is used to analyze the mixing behavior of fuels namely, hydrogen and ethylene, numerically. In this context, the influence of Mach number on static pressure distribution, mixing efficiency and the mole fraction of hydrogen and ethylene is analyzed. Our study reveals that there is a strong interplay between flow conditions viz., reacting and non-reacting and Mach number on flow field characteristics. It has been observed that the ignition delay time is very less for hydrogen fuel as compared to ethylene fuel. Further, the mixing efficiency is found to be maximum at Mach 2.5 and Mach 3.5 for hydrogen and ethylene, respectively for reacting flow conditions. Moreover, it was observed that additional igniters are required to enhance the rate of mixing in case of ethylene since the complete mixing of ethylene and air occurs at higher Mach number. It is seen that the deviation in the static pressure and mixing efficiency for reacting and non-reacting flow increases with the increase in Mach number. Further, this deviation is found relatively higher for hydrogen as compared to ethylene.     

Molecular dynamics simulation of interfaces and microstructure evolution during high-speed sliding

Three-dimensional nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the tribological characteristics of the high-speed sliding system. A sliding simulation model with two blocks is built. The friction force, the evolution of the structure of interface and the temperature profiles of the sliding system are obtained. The relationship among tribological characteristic, friction heat, and interface structure is studied. The influence of the sliding velocity is investigated. The velocity field of the interface is also considered. The theoretical analysis of the mixing layer is also built to study the flow and heat transfer characteristics in the interface. The results show that structure of the interface can greatly affect the friction force and temperature rising. The structure factors and the velocity field of the interface evidently suggest that atomic flow during sliding is similar to fluid flow, which is beneficial to reduce the friction force and heat dissipation. With the increase of sliding velocity, the thickness of the mixing layer increases, the steady state friction force decreases. The atom distribution and the radial distribution function of the interface indicate that the degree of short-range disorder of the mixing layer increases.     

Second law analysis for chemically reacting natural convective second‐grade fluid flow between porous parallel plates with Hall and Ion slip

In this article, we performed the entropy generation of free convective chemically reacting second‐grade fluid confined between parallel plates in the influence of the Hall and Ion slip with heat and mass fluxes. Let there be a periodic suction/injection along with the plates, the governing flow field equations are reduced as a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity transformations then solved numerically with shooting method based on Runge‐Kutta 4th order scheme. The results are analyzed for velocity in axial and radial directions, temperature distribution, concentration distribution, entropy generation number, Bejan number, mass and heat transfer rates with respect to distinct geometric, and fluid parameters and shown graphically and tables. It is observed that the entropy generation is enhanced with Prandtl number, whereas decreases with a second‐grade parameter, the effects of Hall and Ion slip parameters on velocity components, temperature and entropy generation number are the same. The entropy generation number the fluid is enhanced with the suction‐injection parameter whereas, the concentration of the fluid decreases with the increasing of chemical reaction parameter.     

Influence of Turbulence Schmidt Number on Exit Temperature Distribution of an Annular Gas Turbine Combustor using Flamelet Generated Manifold

The Reynolds analogy concept has been used in almost all turbulent reacting flow RANS(Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes)simulations,where the turbulence scalar transfers in flow fields are calculated based on the modeled turbulence momentum transfer.This concept,applied to a lean premixed combustion system,was assessed in this paper in terms of exit temperature distribution.Because of the isotropic assumption involved in this analogy,the prediction in some flow condition,such as jet cross flow mixing,would be inaccurate.In this study,using Flamelet Generated Manifold as reaction model,some of the numerical results,obtained from an annular combustor configuration with the turbulent Schmidt number varying from 0.85 to 0.2,were presented and compared with a benchmark atmospheric test results.It was found that the Schmidt numberσt in mean mass fraction f transport equation had significant effect on dilution air mixing process.The mixing between dilution air and reaction products from the primary zone obviously improved asσt decreased on the combustor exit surface.Meanwhile,the sensitivity ofσt in three turbulence models including Realizable k-ε,SST(Shear Stress Transport)and RSM(Reynolds Stress Model)has been compared as well.Since the calculation method of eddy viscosity was different within these three models,RSM was proved to be less sensitive than another two models and can guarantee the best prediction of mixing process condition.On the other hand,the results of dilution air mixing were almost independent of Schmidt number Sct in progress variable c transport equation.This study suggested that for accurate prediction of combustor exit temperature distribution in steady state reacting flow simulation,the turbulent Schmidt number in steady state simulation should be modified to cater to dilution air mixing process.     

Numerical investigation of MHD convective free stream nanofluid flow influenced by radiation and chemical reaction over stretching cylinder

Chemically reacting magnetohydrodynamic radiative flow of convective free stream nanofluid through a stretching cylinder using Buongiorno's model is discussed. The behavior of Brownian motion and thermophoresis is also appropriate. By adopting the similarity transformation, the partial differential equation is diminished into a first-order ordinary differential equation (ODE). Since transformed equations are highly nonlinear these ODEs are solved by using mathematical simulation. The shooting procedure has been adopted to resolve converted equations along the attendant Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg technique. The reason behind the present work is to research the effects of different parameters of fluid, namely, magnetic parameter, free stream velocity, Brownian motion, thermophoresis, chemical reaction, heat radiation, Lewis number on nanoparticle concentration, temperature, and velocity distribution. The impact of significantly participating parameters on velocity, concentration, and temperature distribution is distinguished with appropriate physical significance. The convergence of solutions for temperature, velocity, and concentration profiles is studied carefully. The measured challenges of nanofluids are scale-up capacity, increase in nanofluid viscosity, nanoparticle dispersion, and nanofluid cost. It is observed that nanoparticle temperature rises for more value of Brownian motion parameter while it declines for higher Lewis number. The current study in the cylindrical region is related to novel free stream flow in the presence of chemical reactions along with convective conditions which find applications in electronic systems like microprocessors and in a wide variety of industries and in the field of biotechnology. The current research helps control the transport phenomena, helping production companies to find the quality of the desired product.     

Incidences of aligned magnetic field on unsteady MHD flow past a parabolic accelerated inclined plate in a porous medium

An exact analysis of a radiative hydromagnetic flow behavior over a tilted parabolic plate through a permeable medium along with variable species concentration and fluid temperature in the presence of a slanted magnetic field parameter, chemical reaction, and heat generation has been carried out in this study. Closed-form analytical benchmark solutions for flow-governing equations are obtained by using the Laplace transform method. Thereafter, the incidences of different important physical entities on the nondimensional velocity field, temperature distribution, and species concentration are presented using graphs, whereas impacts of various physical entities on wall shear stress, heat and mass transfer rates are presented in tables. It is worth noting that an increase in the magnetic field and its inclination angle causes the reduction in the fluid velocity. However, wall shear stress increases with the increase of magnetic field and its inclination angle. The novel results in this article can be used to improve quicker cooling and producing miniaturized heat flow systems with upgraded efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Hall current,radiation absorption,and diffusion thermoeffects on unsteady MHD rotating chemically reactive second-grade fluid flow past a porous inclined plate in the presence of an aligned magnetic field,thermal radiation,and chemical reaction

In this paper, we analyze the effects of Hall current, radiation absorption and diffusion thermo on unsteady magnetohydromagnetic free convection flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting and chemically reacting second-grade fluid past an inclined porous plates in the presence of an aligned magnetic field, thermal radiation, and chemical reaction. An exact analytical solution of the governing equations for fluid velocity, fluid temperature, and species concentration subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions is obtained using the perturbation technique. Expressions for shear stress, rate of heat transfer, and rate of mass transfer at the plate are derived. The numerical values of primary and secondary fluid velocities, fluid temperature and species concentration are displayed graphically, whereas those of shear stress and rate of mass transfer at the plate are presented in tabular form for various values of pertinent flow parameters. In addition, the skin friction on the boundary, the heat flux expressed in terms of the Nusselt number, and the rate of mass transfer described in the Sherwood number are all derived, and their behavior is studied computationally. It can be deduced that an increase in radiation absorption and hall current parameters over the fluid region increases the velocity produced. The resulting velocity continually increases to a very high level, with contributions coming from thermal and solutal buoyancy forces. Skin friction may decrease by manipulating the rotation parameter, but the Hall effect can worsen it. When the parameter for the chemical reaction increases, there is a concomitant rise in the mass transfer rate.     

Numerical and experimental investigations of heat transfer performance of rectangular coil heat exchangers

Both numerical and experimental investigations were conducted to understand convective heat transfer from a single round pipe coiled in rectangular pattern. The studied heat exchangers are composed with inner and outer coils so that the exterior flow is very similar to flow within tube-bundles. The inner and outer coils of the heat exchangers are in turn composed of bends and straight portions. Calculations and experiments were done for two cases with different outside flow arrangements. The results showed the effects of geometric arrangement with better heat transfer for the case 1 of staggered arrangement due mainly to its more tortuous flow characteristics and better mixing of the exterior fluid. The numerical and experimental results qualitatively agree well with each other. The numerical and experimental results showed that coiling a pipe so that an exterior fluid flows over or in tube bundle can help to induce the turbulence without increasing the velocity.     

Hall current effects on MHD flow of chemically reacting fluid through a porous medium with heat source

We considered the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) free convective flow of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid past an infinite vertical permeable porous plate with a uniform transverse magnetic field, heat source and chemical reaction in a rotating frame taking Hall current effects into account. The momentum equations for the fluid flow during absorbent medium are controlled by the Brinkman model. Through the undisturbed state, both the plate and fluid are in a rigid body rotation by the uniform angular velocity perpendicular to an infinite vertical plate. The perpendicular surface is subject to the homogeneous invariable suction at a right angle to it and the heat on the surface varies about a non-zero unvarying average whereas the warmth of complimentary flow is invariable. The systematic solutions of the velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions are acquired systematically by utilizing the perturbation method. The velocity expressions consist of steady-state and fluctuating situations. It is revealed that the steady part of the velocity field has a three-layer characteristic while the oscillatory part of the fluid field exhibits a multi-layer characteristic. The influence of various governing flow parameters on the velocity, temperature, and concentration are analyzed graphically. We also discuss computational results for the skin friction, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number in the tabular forms.     

Continuous purification of H2SO4 and HI phases by packed column in IS process

Iodine–sulfur (IS) thermo-chemical water-splitting process is a promising technology to produce hydrogen using solar or nuclear energy. To avoid the undesirable side reactions between HI and H₂SO₄ phases formed in Bunsen reaction of IS cycle, it is necessary to purify the two phases. The purification process could be achieved by reverse reaction of Bunsen reaction. In this paper, the purification process in continuous mode by reacting sulfuric acid and HI in a packed column was experimentally studied; the influences of operational parameters, including the reaction temperature, the flow rate of nitrogen gas, and the flow rate of the raw material solutions, on the purification efficiency, were investigated in detail. Based on the results, the suitable conditions for continuous purification process of two phases were proposed.
