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.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: 3Validation on of Local Thermal Equilibrium and Uniform Pressure Assumptions for an Isobaric Adsorption Process in an Adsorbent Bed(Türk Isı Bilimi ve Tekniği Derneği, 2016) Gediz İliş, Gamze; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraBu çalışmanın amacı, adsorbent yatakta ısı ve kütle transferini analiz etmek için kullanılan yerel ısıl denge ve sabit basınç yaklaşımı varsayımların geçerliliğini araştırmaktır.

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: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Numerical Determination of Interfacial Heat Transfer Coefficient for an Aligned Dual Scale Porous Medium(Emerald Group Publishing, 2018) Sabet, Safa; Mobedi, Moghtada; Barışık, Murat; Nakayama, AkiraPurpose Fluid flow and heat transfer in a dual scale porous media is investigated to determine the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient, numerically. The studied porous media is a periodic dual scale porous media. It consists of the square rods which are permeable in an aligned arrangement. It is aimed to observe the enhancement of heat transfer through the porous media, which is important for thermal designers, by inserting intra-pores into the square rods. A special attention is given to the roles of size and number of intra-pores on the heat transfer enhancement through the dual scale porous media. The role of intra-pores on the pressure drop of air flow through porous media is also investigated by calculation and comparison of the friction coefficient. Design/methodology/approach To calculate the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient, the governing equations which are continuity, momentum and energy equations are solved to determine velocity, pressure and temperature fields. As the dual scale porous structure is periodic, a representative elementary volume is generated, and the governing equations are numerically solved for the selected representative volume. By using the obtained velocity, pressure and temperature fields and using volume average definition, the volume average of aforementioned parameters is calculated and upscaled. Then, the interfacial convective heat transfer coefficient and the friction coefficient is numerically determined. The interparticle porosity is changed between 0.4 and 0.75, while the intraparticle varies between 0.2 and 0.75 to explore the effect of intra-pore on heat transfer enhancement. Findings The obtained Nusselt number values are compared with corresponding mono-scale porous media, and it is found that heat transfer through a porous medium can be enhanced threefold (without the increase of pressure drop) by inserting intraparticle pores in flow direction. For the porous media with low values of interparticle porosity (i.e. = 0.4), an optimum intraparticle porosity exists for which the highest heat transfer enhancement can be achieved. This value was found around 0.3 when the interparticle porosity was 0.4. Research limitations/implications The results of the study are interesting, especially from heat transfer enhancement point of view. However, further studies are required. For instance, studies should be performed to analyze the rate of the heat transfer enhancement for different shapes and arrangements of particles and a wider range of porosity. The other important parameter influencing heat transfer enhancement is the direction of pores. In the present study, the intraparticle pores are in flow direction; hence, the enhancement rate of heat transfer for different directions of pores must also be investigated. Practical implications The application of dual scale porous media is widely faced in daily life, nature and industry. The flowing of a fluid through a fiber mat, woven fiber bundles, multifilament textile fibers, oil filters and fractured porous media are some examples for the application of the heat and fluid flow through a dual scale porous media. Heat transfer enhancement. Social implications The enhancement of heat transfer is a significant topic that gained the attention of researchers in recent years. The importance of topic increases day-by-day because of further demands for downsizing of thermal equipment and heat recovery devices. The aim of thermal designers is to enhance heat transfer rate in thermal devices and to reduce their volume (and/or weight in some applications) by using lower mechanical power for cooling. Originality/value The present study might be the first study on determination of thermal transport properties of dual scale porous media yielded interesting results such as considerable enhancement of heat transfer by using proper intraparticle channels in a porous medium.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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4A Pore Scale Study on Fluid Flow Through Two Dimensional Dual Scale Porous Media With Small Number of Intraparticle Pores(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016) Sabet, Safa; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özgümüş, TürkülerIn the present study, the fluid flow in a periodic, non-isotropic dual scale porous media consisting of permeable square rods in inline arrangement is analyzed to determine permeability, numerically. The continuity and Navier-Stokes equations are solved to obtain the velocity and pressure distributions in the unit structures of the dual scale porous media for flows within Darcy region. Based on the obtained results, the intrinsic inter and intraparticle permeabilities and the bulk permeability tensor of the dual scale porous media are obtained for different values of inter and intraparticle porosities. The study is performed for interparticle porosities between 0.4 and 0.75 and for intraparticle porosities from 0.2 to 0.8. A correlation based on Kozeny-Carman relationship in terms of inter and intraparticle porosities and permeabilities is proposed to determine the bulk permeability tensor of the dual scale porous media.Article Citation - WoS: 55Citation - Scopus: 60Effect of Regeneration Temperature on Adsorption Equilibria and Mass Diffusivity of Zeolite 13x-Water Pair(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Sayılgan, Şefika Çağla; Mobedi, Moghtada; Ülkü, SemraThe adsorption equilibrium and mass diffusivity of zeolite 13X-water pair for different adsorption and regeneration temperatures were determined by a homemade volumetric system. The isotherms of the zeolite 13X-water pair were obtained by collecting pressure versus time data and applying ideal gas law. The effective diffusivity of the pair was calculated by using long term analytical solution of mass diffusivity based on Fick's law. The experimental study showed that the adsorption capacity of zeolite 13X-water pair was 23% (kg/kg), 21% (kg/kg) and 19% (kg/kg) when the adsorption temperature was 35, 45 and 60 °C respectively for the desorption temperature of 90 °C. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity increased from 22% (kg/kg) to 24% (kg/kg) when the desorption temperature was increased from 90 °C to 150 °C. It was observed that the present adsorption equilibrium results were compatible with the reported results in the literature. The mass diffusivity of the pair was found in the range of 4 × 10-9-6 × 10-8 m2/s for the long time period when the initial adsorptive pressure was 2000 Pa. The effective mass diffusivity depends on concentration and it was decreased with increasing adsorbate concentration.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 20Effect of Pore To Throat Size Ratio on Thermal Dispersion in Porous Media(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, MoghtadaIn 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: 100Citation - Scopus: 106Determination of Kozeny Constant Based on Porosity and Pore To Throat Size Ratio in Porous Medium With Rectangular Rods(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, ÜnverKozeny-Carman permeability equation is an important relation for the determination of permeability in porous media. In this study, the permeabilities of porous media that contains rectangular rods are determined, numerically. The applicability of Kozeny-Carman equation for the periodic porous media is investigated and the effects of porosity and pore to throat size ratio on Kozeny constant are studied. The continuity and Navier- Stokes equations are solved to determine the velocity and pressure fields in the voids between the rods. Based on the obtained flow field, the permeability values for different porosities from 0.2 to 0.9 and pore to throat size ratio values from 1.63 to 7.46 are computed. Then Kozeny constants for different porous media with various porosity and pore to throat size ratios are obtained and a relationship between Kozeny constant, porosity and pore to throat size ratio is constructed. The study reveals that the pore to throat size ratio is an important geometrical parameter that should be taken into account for deriving a correlation for permeability. The suggestion of a fixed value for Kozeny constant makes the application of Kozeny-Carman permeability equation too narrow for a very specific porous medium. However, it is possible to apply the Kozeny-Carman permeability equation for wide ranges of porous media with different geometrical parameters (various porosity, hydraulic diameter, particle size and aspect ratio) if Kozeny constant is a function of two parameters as porosity and pore to throat size ratios.
