[1] Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, New York, NY, USA
[2] Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA

Eccentricity in annular channels contributes to changes in fluid flow characteristics which in turn, affects the performance and integrity of the configuration. This research investigates a model of an annular channel with a diameter ratio of 0.762, an aspect ratio of 68.9:1 and heating ... Read More

Magneto-hydrodynamic Flow in Electrolyte Solutions

M. Qin[1], and H. Bau[1]
[1]Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, USA

The paper presents and compares two models for simulating magneto-hydrodynamic flow of RedOx electrolyte in a conduit patterned with circular pillars. The first model solves the coupled Nernst-Planck and Navier-Stokes equations subjected to Butler-Volmer electrode kinetics and provides ... Read More

Analysis of Mash Tun Flow: Recommendations for Home Brewers

E. Gutierrez-Miravete[1], C. J. Walsh[2]
[1]Rensselaer at Hartford, Hartford, CT, USA
[2]General Dynamics-Electric Boat, Groton, CT, USA

The major steps in the beer making process are simple and with some skill, rather good brew can be produced using a common picnic cooler. First, grain (usually barley) is wetted and allowed to partially germinate before dried in a kiln (malting) Next, during mashing in a mash tun ... Read More

变孔隙率热化学储能过程数值模拟

郭昊 [1], 恽迪 [1],
[1] 西安交通大学

能量存储技术是减少能量浪费和节约能源的最为有效的手段之一。热化学储能技术具备高功率、大容量和低损耗的特点，在实际应用中可近乎无损耗地进行跨季节性利用，上述优点使得热化学储能近年来吸引了国内外学者的广泛关注。热化学能存储过程涉及流动、传热、传质、反应多个物理过程，为了完成实验室级测试到工业级应用的推广，储能设备的仿真模拟是必不可少的一环。为了简化计算，目前几乎所有的数值研究都假设储能材料的孔隙率为均匀且定常的；但在实际的物理过程中，孔隙率与反应程度紧密相关并随时间和空间变化。本文通过推导建立孔隙率变化的热化学储能模型 ... Read More

CFD Analysis of a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger

K. Wegman [1], X. Sun [1],
[1] Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA

In this experiment, the performance of a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger (PCHE) was studied using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. PCHEs are diffusion bonded heat exchangers containing semicircular, chemically etched flow paths. Helium was used as the working fluid on both the hot and cold ... Read More
