    Effect of an Inserted Porous Layer on Heat and Fluid Flow in a Vertical Channel With Mixed Convection
    (Vinca Inst Nuclear Sci, 2015) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada
    Temperature and velocity fields in a vertical channel partially filled with porous medium under mixed convection heat transfer condition are obtained. The heat transfer equation and equation of motion for clear and porous layer regions are written and solved analytically. The non-dimensionalization of the governing equations yields two Grashof numbers as Gr(c) and Gr(d) for clear and porous sections where Gr(d) = Da.Gr(c). The dimensionless governing parameters for the problem are Gr(c) (or Gr(d)), Da, thermal conductivity ratio, and thickness of porous layer. The temperature and velocity profiles for different values of Gr(c), Da, thermal conductivity ratio, and thickness of porous layer are plotted and their changes with the governing parameters are discussed. Moreover, the variation of pressure drop with the governing parameters is investigated. The decrease of porous layer thickness or thermal conductivity ratio increases the possibility of the downward flows. Thermal conductivity ratio plays important role on pressure drop, particularly for the channels with high values of Gr(c)/Re.

    Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Aluminum Foam in a Latent Thermal Energy Storage
    (ASME, 2016) Buonomo, Bernardo; Ercole, Davide; Manca, Oronzio; Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada
    In this paper, a numerical investigation on Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System (LHTESS) based on a phase change material (PCM) is accomplished. The geometry of the system under investigation is a vertical shell and tube LHTES made with two concentric aluminum tubes. The internal surface of the hollow cylinder is assumed at a constant temperature above the melting temperature of the PCM to simulate the heat transfer from a hot fluid. The other external surfaces are assumed adiabatic. The phase change of the PCM is modeled with the enthalpy porosity theory while the metal foam is considered as a porous media that obeys to the Darcy-Forchheimer law. The momentum equations are modified by adding of suitable source term which it allows to model the solid phase of PCM and natural convection in the liquid phase of PCM. Both local thermal equilibrium (LTE) and local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) models are examined. Results as a function of time for the charging phase are carried out for different porosities and assigned pore per inch (PPI). The results show that at high porosity the LTE and LTNE models have the same melting time while at low porosity the LTNE has a larger melting time. Moreover, the presence of metal foam improves significantly the heat transfer in the LHTES giving a very faster phase change process with respect to pure PCM, reducing the melting time more than one order of magnitude.

    A General Expression for the Stagnant Thermal Conductivity of Stochastic and Periodic Structures
    (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2018) Bai, X.; Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada; Nakayama, Akira
    A general expression has been obtained to estimate thermal conductivities of both stochastic and periodic structures with high-solid thermal conductivity. An air layer partially occupied by slanted circular rods of high-thermal conductivity was considered to derive the general expression. The thermal conductivity based on this general expression was compared against that obtained from detailed three-dimensional numerical calculations. A good agreement between two sets of results substantiates the validity of the general expression for evaluating the stagnant thermal conductivity of the periodic structures. Subsequently, this expression was averaged over a hemispherical solid angle to estimate the stagnant thermal conductivity for stochastic structures such as a metal foam. The resulting expression was found identical to the one obtained by Hsu et al., Krishnan et al., and Yang and Nakayama. Thus, the general expression can be used for both stochastic and periodic structures.

    Visualization of Heat Flow in a Vertical Channel With Fully Developed Mixed Convection
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada
    A study on visualization of heat flow in three channels with laminar fully developed mixed convection heat transfer is performed. The first channel is filled with completely pure fluid; the second one is completely filled with fluid saturated porous medium. A porous layer exists in the half of the third channel while another half is filled with pure fluid. The velocity, temperature and heat transport fields are obtained both by using analytical and numerical methods. Analytical expression for heat transport field is obtained and presented. The heatline patterns are plotted for different values of Gr/Re, thermal conductivity ratio, Peclet and Darcy numbers. It is found that the path of heat flow in the channel strongly depends on Peclet number. For low Peclet numbers (i.e., Pe = 0.01), the path of heat flow is independent of Gr/Re and Darcy numbers. However, for high Peclet numbers (i.e., Pe = 5), the ratio of Gr/Re, Darcy number and thermal conductivity ratio influence heatline patterns, considerably. For the channels with high Peclet number (i.e., Pe = 5), a downward heat flow is observed when a reverse flow exits. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

    Mixed Convection Heat Transfer in a Partially Heated Parallel Plate Vertical Channel
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, Moghtada
    Laminar mixed convection heat transfer in a two dimensional symmetrically and partially heated vertical channel is investigated. The heated portions exist on the both walls of channel and their temperature is constant. The number of the heated portions is changed from 2 to 4 for each wall; however the total length of the heated portions is fixed. The fluid inlet velocity is uniform and air is taken as working fluid. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved numerically by using finite volume method. Results are compared with available studies in literature and good agreement is observed. The velocity and temperature fields are obtained for Gr / Re2= 0.0033 and 13.33. Based on the obtained temperature distributions, the change of local Nusselt number for different number of heated portions are obtained and plotted. The variation of the mean Nusselt number with the number of heated portions is also discussed. © 2014 IEEE.
