Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Mobedi, Moghtada; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this study, the effects of pore to throat size ratio on thermal dispersion of periodic porous media consisting of inline array of rectangular rods are investigated, numerically. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved for representative elementary volumes (REVs) of the porous media to obtain microscopic velocities in the voids between the rods and temperature distribution for entire of the REVs. Volume averaging method is employed to compute the macroscopic velocity and temperature values. There are velocity and temperature deviations between the macroscopic and microscopic values. These deviations are computed numerically and thermal dispersion coefficients of the porous media are 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 the porous media. The study is performed for pore to throat size ratios between 1.63 and 7.46, porosities from 0.7 to 0.9, and pore level Reynolds numbers between 1 and 100. It is found that in addition to the porosity and Reynolds number, the parameter of pore to throat size ratio plays an important role on thermal dispersion in a porous medium. It is found that there is an optimum value of pore to throat size ratio for maximum longitudinal thermal dispersion coefficient; however, the transverse thermal dispersion increases with the increasing of values of pore to throat size ratio.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 35Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media - a Review on the Experimental Studies for Packed Beds(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Mobedi, Moghtada; Nakayama, Akira; Özkol, Ünver; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThermal dispersion is an important topic in the convective heat transfer in porous media. In order to determine the heat transfer in a packed bed, the effective thermal conductivity including both stagnant and dispersion thermal conductivities should be known. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been performed on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity. The aim of this study is to review the experimental studies done on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity of the packed beds. In this study, firstly brief information on the definition of the thermal dispersion is presented and then the reported experimental studies on the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are summarized and compared. The reported experimental methods are classified into three groups: (1) heat addition/removal at the lateral boundaries, (2) heat addition at the inlet/ outlet boundary, (3) heat addition inside the bed. For each performed study, the experimental details, methods, obtained results, and suggested correlations for the determination of the effective thermal conductivity are presented. The similarities and differences between experimental methods and reported studies are shown by tables. Comparison of the correlations for the effective thermal conductivity is made by using figures and the results of the studies are discussed. Copyright © 2013 by ASME.
