Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Aluminum Foam in a Latent Thermal Energy Storage(ASME, 2016) Buonomo, Bernardo; Ercole, Davide; Manca, Oronzio; Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, MoghtadaIn 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.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13A 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, AkiraA 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.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 19Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Interfacial Heat Transfer Coefficient of Porous Media(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME), 2015) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, MoghtadaIn this study, the effects of pore to throat size ratio on the interfacial heat transfer coefficient for a periodic porous media containing inline array of rectangular rods are investigated, numerically. The continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy equations are solved for the representative elementary volume (REV) of the porous media to obtain the microscopic velocity and temperature distributions in the voids between the rods. Based on the obtained microscopic temperature distributions, the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficients and the corresponding Nusselt numbers are computed. The study is performed for pore to throat size ratios between 1.63 and 7.46, porosities from 0.7 to 0.9, and Reynolds numbers between 1 and 100. It is found that in addition to porosity and Reynolds number, the parameter of pore to throat size ratio plays an important role on the heat transfer in porous media. For the low values of pore to throat size ratios (i.e., β = 1.63), Nusselt number increases with porosity while for the high values of pore to throat size ratios (i.e., β = 7.46), the opposite behavior is observed. Based on the obtained numerical results, a correlation for the determination of Nusselt number in terms of porosity, pore to throat size ratio, Reynolds and Prandtl numbers is proposed.Conference Object Mixed Convection Heat Transfer in a Partially Heated Parallel Plate Vertical Channel(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Çelik, Hasan; Mobedi, MoghtadaLaminar 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of Isotherm Shape on Mass Transfer in an Adsorbent Particle; an Isothermal Adsorption Process(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2011) Yıldırım, Zeynep Elvan; Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraThe mass diffusion equation and corresponding initial and boundary conditions were non-dimensionalized for a spherical adsorbent particle in an infinite adsorptive medium to reduce number of independent governing parameters into two as mass transfer Biot number and dimensionless isotherm. The changes in local and average adsorbate concentration throughout the adsorption process were calculated and plotted for different values of mass transfer Biot numbers (ranging from 0.5 to 750) and for five different isotherm shapes. The obtained results indicated that the isotherm shape influences dimensionless period of adsorption, if the external mass transfer resistance is significant in the process. For those cases, the total dimensionless adsorption period for a convex shape isotherm is shorter than a concave one.
