    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.

    Comparison 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, Semra
    Heat 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.

    Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop Characteristics of Fin-Tube Heat Exchangers With Different Types of Vortex Generator Configurations
    (Begell House Inc., 2010) Bilir, Levent; Özerdem, Barış; Erek, Aytunç; İlken, Zafer
    A fin-and-tube heat exchanger with three different types of vortex generators is investigated in this study in order to observe the effects of these vortex generators on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. The individual as well as the cumulative influences of the vortex generators on the performance of a heat exchanger are examined. The numerical analyses are performed using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program named "Fluent". Firstly, each vortex generator type is placed at four different locations on the fin to determine its best location in terms of heat transfer and pressure drop values. After the determination of the best location on the fin for a vortex generator of each type, two different models with all three types of vortex generators are created and analyzed numerically. The investigation of the cumulative effect of three different vortex generators is the novelty of the study. The results of the study show that the use of three different vortex generators together increases heat transfer rate with a moderate increase in pressure drop value. The comparison of the present study results with an experimental and numerical study showed also a good agreement. © 2010 by Begell House, Inc.
