Combined heat and mass transfer in natural convection between vertical parallel plates

Abstract

This study is to examine the effects of latent heat transfer associated with liquid film vaporization on heat transfer in the natural convection flows driven by the simultaneous presence of combined buoyancy forces of thermal and mass diffusion. Results are especially presented for an air‐water system under various conditions. The influences of channel length and system temperatures on the momentum, heat and mass transfer in the flow are investigated in great detail. The important role of transport of latent heat of vaporization under the situations of buoyancy‐aiding and opposing flows is clearly demonstrated.     

Evaporation heat and mass transfer in natural convection pipe flow

Abstract

A numerical analysis has been performed to examine film evaporation on natural convection heat and mass transfer in a vertical pipe. Coupled governing equations for liquid film and induced gas flow were simultaneously solved by the implicit finite difference method. Results for interfacial heat and mass transfer coefficients are specifically presented for ethanol film and water film vaporization. The predicted results indicate that the heat transfer from gas‐liquid interface to the gas flow is predominated by the transport of latent heat in association with film evaporation. The results are also contrasted with those of zero film thickness and show that the assumption of extremely thin film thickness made by Chang et al. [5] and Yan and Lin [19] is only valid for a system with a low liquid Reynolds number Re _l1. But as the liquid Reynolds number is high, the assumption becomes inappropriate.

A coarse-grained parcel method for heat and mass transfer simulations of spray coating processes

The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is commonly used for modeling the flow of particulate materials. Unfortunately, such detailed simulations are computationally very demanding, restricting its use for industrially-scaled processes. The number of particles in a simulation can be reduced by introducing parcels (i.e., “coarse graining”), which – in essence – relies on the increase of the particle diameter for interaction calculations. However, sophisticated models are necessary to preserve the original behavior of the material when using such an approach. Our present contribution extends available coarse-graining concepts by introducing models for (i) particle–fluid mass transfer and (ii) the deposition rate of spray droplets on particles. Our mass transfer model is based on an existing model for heat transfer. For the spray deposition model, we introduce an effective particle diameter to compute the correct amount of droplets that impact particles. We show that these models can be used with confidence up to a coarse-graining level of 5, which we demonstrate for a simple-shaped fluidized bed. The models proposed by us are critical for detailed simulations of spray coating processes since they enable precise particle-droplet-air interaction modeling at low computational cost.     

A numerical method for heat transfer problems using collocation and radial basis functions

Simple, mesh/grid free, numerical schemes for the solution of heat transfer problems are developed and validated. Unlike the mesh or grid-based methods, these schemes use well-distributed quasi-random collocation points and approximate the solution using radial basis functions. The schemes work in a similar fashion as finite differences but with random points instead of a regular grid system. This allows the computation of problems with complex-shaped boundaries in higher dimensions with no extra difficulty. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Investigation of heat, mass transfer and fluid flow characteristics in evaporative condensers

Heat and mass transfer and fluid flow characteristics in evaporative condensers is discussed. A complex pattern of water temperature and air enthalpy change was detected which depended upon elevation above the sump level. The results have indicated that the spray-filled space beneath the coil has a substantial effect of heat rejection in this type of apparatus. On the other hand, the effect of the upper spray nozzle zone is insignificant. It is possible to optimize the combination of various heat and mass transfer spaces, as well as the effect of extended surfaces and spray-filled spaces. Specifically, it will help to design better evaporative condensers with closely spaced staggered tubes, and to optimize the heat transfer and energy efficiency characteristics of such units.

Heat and mass transfer analysis in air-cooling of spherical food products

The one dimensional transient heat conduction equation, in spherical co-ordinates, is solved with convective surface boundary condition, during air-cooling. The enthalpy potential concept is used to include the cooling effect of desiccation. A calculation scheme is proposed in which, up to half the cooling time, the calculation is made with both heat and mass transfer from the product surface, thereafter it is continued with heat transfer only. The calculated temperatures for apples and potatoes are compared with the measured values available in the literature, and good agreement is observed.     

A stochastic finite element method for real eigenvalue problems

A stochastic finite element method (SFEM) based on local averages of a random vector field is developed for both distinct and repeated eigenvalues. Formulae for the variances and covariances of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are derived. It is shown in a numerical example that, as the number of elements increases, solutions obtained from the present SFEM formulation converge much faster than those obtained from the SFEM formulation based on mid-point discretization.

Finite element solutions of free convective Casson fluid flow past a vertically inclined plate submitted in magnetic field in presence of heat and mass transfer

The aim of this research work is to study the influence of thermal radiation on steady magnetohydrodynamic-free convective Casson fluid flow of an optically thick fluid over an inclined vertical plate with heat and mass transfer. Combined phenomenon of heat and mass transfer is considered. Numerical solutions in general form are obtained by using the finite element method. The sum of thermal and mechanical parts is expressed as velocity of fluid. Corresponding limiting solutions are also reduced from the general solutions. It is found that the obtained numerical solutions satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions and reduce to some known solutions from the literature as special cases. Numerical results for the controlling flow parameters are drawn graphically and discussed in detail. In some special cases, the obtained numerical results are compared and found to be in good agreement with the previously published results which are available in literature. Applications of this study includes laminar magneto-aerodynamics, materials processing and magnetohydrodynamic propulsion thermo-fluid dynamics, etc.

Numerical study for the effects of thermophoresis and variable thermal conductivity on heat and mass transfer over an accelerating surface with heat source

A modified numerical solution scheme, for local similarity boundary layer analysis, is used to study the effects of thermophoresis and variable thermal conductivity on heat and mass transfer over an accelerating surface with heat source in the presence of suction and blowing. This numerical scheme is efficient and accurate and it can be programmed and applied easily and its application is illustrated, step by step, by studying the above mentioned problem. The resulting boundary layer equations are solved numerically by Chebyshev finite difference method. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration as well as for the skin friction, Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are obtained and reported graphically for various parametric conditions to show interesting aspects of the solution.     

Combined heat and mass transfer in MHD free convection from a vertical surface with Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation

The problem of combined heat and mass transfer of an electrically conducting fluid in MHD natural convection adjacent to a vertical surface is analyzed, taking into account the effects of Ohmic heating and viscous dissipation. The resulting governing equations are transformed using suitable transformations and then solved numerically by an implicit finite-difference technique. The solution is found to be dependent on the governing parameters including the magnetic field parameter, the buoyancy ratio between species and thermal diffusion, the Eckert number, the Prandtl number, and the Schmidt number. Effects of these major parameters on the transport behaviors are investigated methodically and typical results are illustrated to reveal the tendency of the solutions. Representative results are presented for the velocity, temperature, and concentration distributions, as well as the local skin-friction coefficient, local Nusselt number, and the local Sherwood number.

Nonsimilar laminar incompressible boundary layers with vectored mass transfer

The effect of vectored mass transfer on the flow and heat transfer of the steady laminar incompressible nonsimilar boundary layer with viscous dissipation for two-dimensional and axisymmetric porous bodies with pressure gradient has been studied. The partial differential equations governing the flow have been solved numerically using an implicit finite-difference scheme. The computations have been carried out for a cylinder and a sphere. The skin friction is strongly influenced by the vectored mass transfer, and the heat transfer both by the vectored mass transfer and dissipation parameter. It is observed that the vectored suction tends to delay the separation whereas the effect of the vectored injection is just the reverse. Our results agree with those of the local nonsimilarity, difference-differential and asymptotic methods but not with those of the local similarity method.

The use of cyclic symmetry in EFG analysis for heat transfer problems

Rotationally periodic (or cyclic) symmetry is exploited in the element‐free Galerkin (EFG) analysis for heat transfer problems of two‐dimensional systems. It is proved that the coefficient matrices of the global EFG equations are block‐circulant. Furthermore, a partitioning algorithm is presented, and the computational convenience and efficiency are demonstrated. A technique dealing with asymmetric boundary conditions is developed to extend the application of the proposed approach. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the advantages of such exploitation of symmetry in the context. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
