RISComputational Simulation of Spontaneous Liquid Penetration and Depression Between Vertical Parallel Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics model is developed to study the dynamics of meniscus formation and capillary flow between vertical parallel plates. An arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach is employed to predict and ...
Opportunities and Challenges in Passive Thermal-Fluid and Energy Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article focuses on passive systems that are used in energy and thermal-fluid applications. These passive systems do not have moving parts and are reliable and cost-effective. Fluid motion in these passive devices could ...
Numerical Simulation of Heat Pipe Assisted Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Unit for Dish Stirling Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A twodimensional numerical model is developed to simulate the transient response of a heat pipeassisted latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit integrated with dishStirling solar power generation systems. The unit ...
Dendrite Growth during Freezing of Millimeter Scale Eicosane Droplets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The freezing characteristics of small diameter eicosane (Tmelt = 37آ°C) droplets are studied here for their use in novel drycooling strategies based on spray freezing of recirculating phase change materials (PCM). PCM can ...
Experimental Characterization of Inward Freezing and Melting of Additive Enhanced Phase Change Materials Within Millimeter Scale Cylindrical Enclosures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The inward melting and solidification of phasechange materials (PCM) within millimeterscale cylindrical enclosures have been experimentally characterized in this work. The effects of cylinder size, thermal loading, and ...
