Heat Transfer and Phase Change

Nonhomogeneous Heat Transfer Simulation Using a Female Human Model

M. Castellani [1], T. Rioux [1], X. Xu [1],
[1] U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, Natick, MA, USA

Previously researchers have modeled the human body using CAD software to create geometries that are approximately the same shape as the human body. While these CAD designs appear similar, they do not account for complex organ anatomy or sudden changes at the skin surface. Now, the human ... Read More

Multiphysics Simulation of 2nd Generation 238Pu Production Designs Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software

C. J. Hurt [1], J. D. Freels [1], A. Elzawawy [2],
[1] Research Reactors Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA
[2] Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology, East Elmhurst, NY, USA

In order to qualify experiments for in-vessel irradiation at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, safety assessments need to be completed and documented to ensure adequate target cooling and structural integrity. Previously, finite element analysis ... Read More

Multidisciplinary Simulation Based Learning Enhancement Module

A. K. Datta [1], M. Ukidwe [1], A. Warning [1], K. Bhunia [1],
[1] Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA

Simulation based learning modules can be effectively introduced to a large audience with customization. The simulation modules can essentially engage learners from diverse background and efficiently introduce the quantitative approaches to non-engineers. Moreover, those can greatly help ... Read More

Modeling Heat Transfer Through Filament Yarns by Random Geometry Creation

N. Anand [1], W. J. Jasper [1], E. DenHartog [1],
[1] North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA

Filament yarns are a collection of microfibers of set diameter and material held together by tension and/or intra-filament attraction. This results in a stacking patterns which can be random with different degrees of freedom. A slight change in tension or attractive forces may mean a ... Read More

Improving Thermal Effect on Biological Tissue using Multiphysics Simulation and Shape Optimization

A. Ward [1],
[1] System Insight Engineering, Centennial, CO, USA

As minimally invasive and robotic surgical devices get smaller, designing precise energy delivery to create the desired tissue effect becomes a key component in product development. With many interdependent physical phenomena occurring simultaneously, it becomes necessary to use tools ... Read More

Evaporative Cooling in Solar Absorption Chiller

J. Ma [1], M. J. Suh [1],
[1] Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX, USA

Solar cooling systems based on evaporation and absorption processes have been actively studied and different mechanisms based on various refrigerants are designed and developed. Amongst these systems, a single-stage close cycle design utilizing lithium bromide salt and water (LiBr-H2O) ... Read More

A Prediction of Energy Piles’ Long-Term Operation Using a Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Geomechanical Model

T. Vu [1], L. Medina [1], D. de la Cruz [1], J. Ramirez [1], B. Xu [1]
[1] University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley, Edinburg, TX, USA

An energy pile harvests geothermal energy to heat and cool a building by integrating ground heat exchanger (GHX) pipes into the building’s deep foundation, and extracts heat from the ground in the winter to heat buildings and injects heat into the ground during the summer. In areas with ... Read More

A Numerical Heat Transfer Analysis on an Implantable Phase-Change Actuated Peristaltic Micropump

F. Forouzandeh [1], D. A. Borkholder [1],
[1] Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, USA

Advances in protective and restorative biotherapies have created new opportunities to address vestibular disorders, deafness, and noise induced-, sensorineural-, and age-related hearing loss. Controllable and implantable drug delivery micropumps are essential for therapy development in ... Read More

Radiofrequency Ablation and Its Effect on Heat Generation on Ground Pads

J. J. Barrett [1], M. Brown [1,][2],
[1] Halyard Health, Alpharetta, GA, USA
[2] Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to treat chronic pain. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is emitted through a probe that is placed near a sensory nerve in the region of pain. The RF energy excites the nearby ions in the tissue causing them to ... Read More

Urban Air Purification Using Semi-Active Photocatalysis

M. Boumahdi [1], J. Roegiers [2] , C. El Amrani [1] , S. Denys [2]
[1]Department of Computer Engineering, Abdelmalek Essaadi University, Tangier, Morocco
[2]Sustainable Energy, Air & Water Technology, Department of Bioscience Engineering, University of Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium

Photocatalysis has received considerable attention in recent years with a huge potential in air purification applications. This work focusses on the semi-passive use of photocatalytic surfaces in streets as an innovative method for removing anthropogenic pollutants (especially volatile ... Read More
