Thermal And Hydraulic Performance Of A Novel Evaporator Coil For Refrigeration Systems
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
With increasing energy cost and constraints on emission standards, there is a strong need to reduce energy consumption and/or increase equipment efficiency. Refrigeration systems are the third largest use of electricity ...
Experimental Investigation of Ice Accretion on Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In this paper, ice accretion on a wind turbine blade with a NACA 63415 airfoil is investigated with experimental techniques. Several different angles of attack, from 0° to 90°, and wind velocities, 3 m/s, 4 m/s and 5 m/s ...
Assessment of Aliphatic Based Soot Inception in Laminar Diffusion Flames
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Soot models are key components of computation fluid dynamic combustion codes that attempt to prescribe how soot is formed. However, due to the complex nature of soot formation, not all pathways may have been fully ...
Effect of Dispersing Copper Oxide Nanoparticles to RT-35 filled a Circular Thermal Energy Storage System
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been widely used in Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Systems (LHTES) to store and release thermal energy. However, PCMs suffer from their low thermal conductivities, which leads to ...
Temperature Measurements Of N-Heptane Injection And Combustion In The Ignition Quality Tester (LQT™)
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
An experimental work has been conducted to investigate the ignition of n-heptane in the ignition quality tester (IQT™) by using fine gage thermocouples. A set of eight butt-welded exposed junction thermocouples (TCs) were ...
Predicting The Consumption Speed Of A Premixed Flame Subjected To An Unsteady Stretch Rate
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The stretched laminar flame model provides a convenient approach to embed realistic chemical kinetics when simulating turbulent premixed flames. When positive-only periodic strain rates are applied to a laminar flame there ...
Changes In The Leidenfrost Transition Point During The Evaporation Of Water And N-Heptane Droplets On Hot, Porous Stainless Steel Surfaces
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The impact and evaporation of droplets impinging on a heated porous substrate is relevant to applications such as fire suppression by sprinkler systems, spray cooling of heated surfaces, and the deposition of fuel droplets ...
Motion Of Pigments In Thin Paint Films
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-11)
When thin paint layers are exposed to heat, evaporation of the solvent begins, and significant movement within the paint film occur, causing temperature and concentration gradients. A clear coat paint was used, which had ...
A Model To Predict The Residual Layer Thickness In The Injection Molding Process
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The effects of the wall temperature on the residual layer thickness of the polymers are studied numerically in the filling process in the injection molding process. A lubrication approximation model is developed to furnish ...
Scaling And Machine Learning Analysis Of Turbulent Fluxes Of Momentum And Heat In The Microclimate Of An Urban Canyon
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Turbulent flow inside the urban roughness sublayer, despite its complexities, plays a crucial role in the microclimate of the built environment. The parameterization of flow in the urban roughness sublayer provides a better ...
