Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Effect 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, MoghtadaTemperature 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.Article Interfacial Convective Heat Transfer for Randomly Generated Porous Media(Begell House, 2018) Uçar, Eren; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ahmadi, AzitaHeat 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6A Study on Numerical Determination of Permeability and Inetia Coefficient of Aluminum Foam Using X-Ray Microtomography Techniques: Focus on Inspection Methods for Reliability (permeability and Inertia Coefficient by Tomography)(Begell House, 2019) Mobedi, Moghtada; Nakayama, Akira; Özkol, Ünver; Çelik, HasanThe volume-averaged (i.e., macroscopic) transport properties such as permeability and inertia coefficient of two aluminum foams with 10 and 20 pores per inch (PPI) pore density are found using microtomography images. It is shown that a comparison between the numerical values and the experimental results may not be sufficient to prove the correctness of the obtained results. Hence, in addition to traditional validation methods such as grid independency and comparison with reported results in literature, further inspections such as (a) checking the development of flow, (b) inspection of Darcy and non-Darcy regions, (c) conservation of flow rate through the porous media, (d) sufficiency of number of voxels in the narrow throats, and (e) observation of transverse velocity gradients in pores for high and low Reynolds numbers can be performed to further validate the achieved results. These techniques have been discussed and explained in detail for the performed study. Moreover, the obtained permeability and inertia coefficient values are compared with 19 reported theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies. The maximum deviation between the present results and the reported studies for 10 PPI is below 25%, while for 20 PPI it is below 28%.Letter Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3A Comment on Change of Nusselt Number Sign in a Channel Flow Filled by a Fluid-Saturated Porous Medium With Constant Heat Flux Boundary Conditions(Springer Verlag, 2013) Uçar, Eren; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, Barış; Pop, IoanThe aim of this Letter is to show that, the Nusselt number sign might be changed without changing of heat transfer direction at the wall of channels, even for flows without viscous dissipation. The sign of the Nusselt number is important for deciding on heat transfer direction at a solid wall. The change of the Nusselt number signmay be interpreted as the change of the direction of the heat transfer at a wall. There are studies, such as internal heat and fluid flow in a channel with viscous dissipation (Hung and Tso 2008, 2009; Mitrovic and Maletic 2007; Mobedi et al. 2010) or with an asymmetric heat flux boundary conditions (Cekmer et al. 2011) in which the sign of the wall Nusselt number changes. Nield and Kuznetsov (2008) studied in a very interesting paper the counter flow in a channel whose boundaries are asymmetrically heated and is consisted of two porous layers with different permeability values. These authors showed that even the sign of an overall Nusselt number defined based on the average wall temperatures and heat fluxes, and the mean permeability values of the two porous layers can also be changed and it can take negative values when a strong asymmetry heat flux is imposed to the boundaries. The change of Nusselt number sign at the walls are also observed in other studies of Kuznetsov (Kuznetsov and Nield 2010; Xiong and Kuznetsov 2000).Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Comparison of Uniform and Non-Uniform Pressure Approaches Used To Analyze an Adsorption Process in a Closed Type Adsorbent Bed(Springer Verlag, 2013) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraHeat and mass transfer in an annular adsorbent bed filled with silica gel particles is numerically analyzed by uniform and non-uniform pressure approaches. The study is performed for silica gel-water pair, particle radius from 0.025 to 1 mm and two bed radii of 10 and 40 mm. For uniform pressure approach, the energy equation for the bed and the mass transfer equation for the particle are solved. For non-uniform pressure approach, the continuity and Darcy equations due to the motion of water vapor in the bed are added, and four coupled partial differential equations are solved. The changes of the adsorbate concentration, pressure, and temperature in the bed throughout the adsorption process for both approaches are obtained and compared. The obtained results showed that the particle size plays an important role on the validity of uniform pressure approach. Due to the interparticle mass transfer resistance, there is a considerable difference between the results of the uniform pressure and non-uniform pressure approaches for the beds with small size of particles such as 0.025 mm.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 38Fully Developed Forced Convection in a Parallel Plate Channel With a Centered Porous Layer(Springer Verlag, 2012) Çekmer, Özgür; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, Barış; Pop, IoanIn this study, fully developed heat and fluid flow in a parallel plate channel partially filled with porous layer is analyzed both analytically and numerically. The porous layer is located at the center of the channel and uniform heat flux is applied at the walls. The heat and fluid flow equations for clear fluid and porous regions are separately solved. Continues shear stress and heat flux conditions at the interface are used to determine the interface velocity and temperature. The velocity and temperature profiles in the channel for different values of Darcy number, thermal conductivity ratio, and porous layer thickness are plotted and discussed. The values of Nusselt number and friction factor of a fully clear fluid channel (Nu cl = 4. 12 and fRe cl = 24) are used to define heat transfer increment ratio (ε th = Nu p/Nu cl)and pressure drop increment ratio (ε p = f Re p/f Re cl) and observe the effects of an inserted porous layer on the increase of heat transfer and pressure drop. The heat transfer and pressure drop increment ratios are used to define an overall performance (ε = ε th/ε p) to evaluate overall benefits of an inserted porous layer in a parallel plate channel. The obtained results showed that for a partially porous filled channel, the value of ε is highly influenced from Darcy number, but it is not affected from thermal conductivity ratio (k r) when k r > 2. For a fully porous material filled channel, the value of ε is considerably affected from thermal conductivity ratio as the porous medium is in contact with the channel walls.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 34Effect of an Inserted Porous Layer Located at a Wall of a Parallel Plate Channel on Forced Convection Heat Transfer(Springer Verlag, 2013) Uçar, Eren; Mobedi, Moghtada; Pop, IoanA theoretical study is performed on heat and fluid flow in partially porous medium filled parallel plate channel. A uniform symmetrical heat flux is imposed onto the boundaries of the channel partially filled with porous medium. The dimensional forms of the governing equations are solved numerically for different permeability and effective thermal conductivity ratios. Then, the governing equations are made dimensionless and solved analytically. The results of two approaches are compared and an excellent agreement is observed, indicating correctness of the both solutions. An overall Nusselt number is defined based on overall thermal conductivity and difference between the average temperature of walls and mean temperature to compare heat transfer in different channels with different porous layer thickness, Darcy number, and thermal conductivity ratio. Moreover, individual Nusselt numbers for upper and lower walls are also defined and obtained. The obtained results show that the maximum overall Nusselt number is achieved for thermal conductivity ratio of 1. At specific values of Darcy number and thermal conductivity ratio, individual Nusselt numbers approach to infinity since the value of wall temperatures approaches to mean temperature.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 23Fully Developed Forced Convection Heat Transfer in a Porous Channel With Asymmetric Heat Flux Boundary Conditions(Springer Verlag, 2011) Çekmer, Özgür; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özerdem, Barış; Pop, IoanAn analytical study is performed on steady, laminar, and fully developed forced convection heat transfer in a parallel plate channel with asymmetric uniform heat flux boundary conditions. The channel is filled with a saturated porous medium, and the lower and upper walls are subjected to different uniform heat fluxes. The dimensionless form of the Darcy-Brinkman momentum equation is solved to determine the dimensionless velocity profile, while the dimensionless energy equation is solved to obtain temperature profile for a hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed flow in the channel. Nusselt numbers for the lower and upper walls and an overall Nusselt number are defined. Analytical expressions for determination of the Nusselt numbers and critical heat flux ratio, at which singularities are observed for individual Nusselt numbers, are obtained. Based on the values of critical heat flux ratio and Darcy number, a diagram is provided to determine the direction of heat transfer between the lower or upper walls while the fluid is flowing in the channel.
