The Effect of a Segmented Wall Filled With Phase Change Material on Heat Transfer and Airflow in a Closed Cavity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The heat transfer effect of a sectioned wall made of five volumes filled with a phase change material (PCM) coupled to an air cavity is presented. The analysis system was equipped with a heat source next to the sectioned ...
Comparative Study Between Experimental Data and Numerical Results of Turbulent Mixed Convection in a Ventilated Cavity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental and numerical results of heat transfer by mixed convection in a ventilated cavity are presented. The results were obtained for a 1.0 m أ— 1.0 m أ— 1.0 m cavity. The inlet and outlet dimensions were of ...
Enhancing the Thermal Performance of a Central Tower Tubular Solar Receiver With Direct Steam Generation by Using Internal Fins and Thicknesses Variation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the thermal behavior of tubular solar receivers used for direct steam generation, focusing on the effects of different wall thicknesses and longitudinal rectangular fins on ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of an Office With Seated Persons and a Double-Duct Solar Roof Chimney for Passive Ventilation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This investigation reports a detailed computational study of heat transfer and airflow in an office with seated persons with a double-duct vertical roof solar chimney (SC). The computational model was validated with ...
Thermal Performance and Water Production in a Solar Still With an Energy Storage Material Under Different Concentrations of Salt
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current work reports a numerical investigation of the water produced and thermal performance of a solar still (SS). Using a SS for desalination is a proposal for low-income remote communities needing potable water. The ...
