Conjugate Heat Transfer in Latent Heat Thermal Storage System With Cross Plate Fins
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Latent heat thermal storage systems (LHTS) utilize their latent heat capacity to dissipate high heat fluxes while maintaining quasiisothermal conditions. Phase change materials (PCMs) absorb a large amount of energy during ...
Multiple Phase Change Material-Based Heat Sink for Cooling of Electronics: A Combined Experimental and Numerical Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports an investigation of the thermal performance of an energy storage heat sink incorporated with multiple phase change materials (PCMs). A six-cavity cylindrical heat sink heated at the base is chosen for ...
Optimal Distribution of Discrete Heat Sources Under Mixed Convection—A Heuristic Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steady state experiments are conducted in a low speed horizontal wind tunnel under mixed convection for five discrete heat sources (aluminum) of nonidentical sizes arranged at different positions on a substrate board ...
A Simple Thermal Resistance Model for Open Cell Metal Foams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for obtaining the convective heat transfer coefficient from the wall of a heated aluminium plate, placed in a vertical channel filled with open cell metal foams. For accomplishing this, a ...
Application of Hybrid Monte Carlo Algorithm in Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a new method of estimation of thermophysical parameters using the hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm that synergistically combines the advantages of a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method and molecular ...
Simultaneous Estimation of Principal Thermal Conductivities of an Anisotropic Composite Medium: An Inverse Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports the results of an experimental study to determine the principal thermal conductivities (kx,ky, and kz) of an anisotropic composite medium using an inverse heat transfer analysis. The direct problem ...
Effect of Sintering on Structural Modification and Phase Transition of Al-Substituted LLZO Electrolytes for Solid State Battery Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Owing to high lithium ion conductivity and good stability with lithium metal, Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO—a solid electrolyte) has emerged as a viable candidate for solid-state battery applications. In the current study, Al-substituted ...
Porous Body Model Based Parametric Study for Sodium to Air Heat Exchanger Used in Fast Reactors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sodium to air heat exchangers (AHX) with finned tubes is used in fast breeder reactors for decay heat removal. The aim of decay heat removal is to maintain the fuel, clad, coolant, and structural temperatures within safety ...
