    Determination of Interfacial Heat Transfer Coefficient for a Mixed Convection Heat Transfer in a Vertical Channel Filled With Uniformly Heated Blocks
    (Begell House Inc., 2015) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Manca,O.; Buonomo,B.
    The interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient of a periodic porous medium under mixed convection heat transfer is determined computationally by using volume averaging method. The porous medium consists of square blocks in inline arrangement. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved in dimensionless form for a representative elementary volume of porous medium and the velocity and temperature fields for different values of Richardson and Reynolds numbers are obtained. Based on the obtained results, the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient is calculated by using volume average method. The temperature of the solid phase is considered uniform and different than the inlet temperature. A detailed discussion on the effect of the governing dimensionless parameters (i.e. Reynolds, Richardson numbers, and porosity) on the local and average interfacial Nusselt number is done. It is concluded that the local interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient increases with Reynolds number, however the rate of increase depends on Richardson number and porosity. The study is performed for two values of porosity of 0.51 and 0.94. © 2021, Begell House Inc. All rights reserved.

    A Numerical Study on the Determination of the Effects of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on the Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media
    (Begell House, 2014) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, Ünver
    Direct pore-level numerical simulations are widely used to estimate macroscopic properties of fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media. Thermal dispersion is one of the most important macroscopic transport parameters for analyzing convective heat transfer in a porous medium. It should be known in order to predict the macroscopic temperature distribution. In the present study, a microscopic scale analysis is performed for a porous medium with periodic structure. A representative elementary volume is chosen from an infinite medium consists of rectangular rods in inline arrangement. The continuity and momentum equations are solved to obtain flow field and the energy equations for fluid and solid phases are solved to obtain microscopic temperature distributions in two phases. There are velocity and temperature deviations between macroscopic and microscopic local values. Volume averaging method is applied to the computed deviations and thermal dispersion conductivity of porous media is determined. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of pore to throat size ratio on the longitudinal and transverse thermal dispersion in porous media. The study is performed for representative elementary volumes with different pore to throat size ratios and Reynolds numbers from 1 to 100. The study is performed for high porosity porous media (ε = 0.7 and 0.91). It is shown that the porosity and pore to throat size ratio have more influence on the transverse rather than longitudinal thermal dispersion. © 2014, Begell House Inc. All rights reserved.

    Energy Losses From Outdoor Located Air Handling Unit and Connection Duct
    (Universita degli Studi di Padova, 2007) Erdoğmuş, Abdullah Berkan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, Barış
    In the present study, energy losses due to heat transmission and air leakage from outdoor located air handling unit and connection duct are investigated based on EN 1886 and NEN-EN 1507 standard. The EN 1886 standard classifies air handling unit according to heat transmission and air leakage, while NEN-EN 1507 standard specify air leakages of rectangular ducts. In this study, air leakage and heat transmission fluxes for three cities in different regions of Turkey are determined and the economical value of energy losses for a building located in the city of Izmir and services 24 hours is calculated. The ambient air temperatures are taken from Turkish State Meteorological Service. The daily average values are considered for ambient temperature. The energy losses are determined for the variable and constant supply temperatures. Tables and charts are provided to show the variation of energy losses due to transmission and air leakage for the whole year. The total amounts of heat transmission and air leakage energy losses for different classes of air handling unit and connection duct are compared and discussed.

    Interfacial Convective Heat Transfer for Randomly Generated Porous Media
    (Begell House, 2018) Uçar, Eren; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ahmadi, Azita
    Heat and fluid flow in 20 random porous media is investigated by using the Monte Carlo (MC) procedure. Each porous medium consists of long square rods distributed randomly in flow direction. The continuity, momentum, and energy equations are solved for a row of porous media representing the entire domain of a random porous medium. The microstructure properties of each random porous medium which are the mean and standard deviations of the Voronoi areas, the nearest neighbor distance and orientation are obtained. The rods in the domain are classified into three groups as blocker, active, and passive rods according to their effects on the penetration of heat in porous media. 'The interfacial convective heat transfer coefficients for each rod and entire porous medium are calculated and plotted for different Reynolds numbers. A characteristic length based on the microstructure properties of the generated porous media is defined, and three correlations relating to the upper limit, lower limit, and mean of the overall interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient are proposed.

    Computational Determination of Volume Averaged Transport Properties of Heat and Fluid Flow in Porous Media by Using Microtomography Images
    (Begell House, 2017) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Nakayama, Akira; Özkol, Ünver
    In this study, the theory and techniques for obtaining VAM (Volume Average Theory) transport properties of a porous medium from micro-tomography images are described. The validation of the results with reported experimental or numerical values in literature may not be sufficient, hence a comprehensive attention is paid to the techniques that can be used for verification of the obtained numerical results at each step of this long computational process. The suggested verification techniques are categorized and explained in details. © 2017, Begell House Inc. All Rights Reserved.
