Abstract
This study investigates conjugate mixed convection in a lid-driven cavity containing a rough-walled cylinder with internal heat generation. Three roughness geometries (circular, triangular, square) and different cylinder placements are considered, with the working fluid modeled as a water-ethylene glycol mixture undergoing laminar flow (103 ≤ Gr ≤ 105, 31.62 ≤ Re ≤ 316.23, 0.1 ≤ Ri ≤ 10). The dynamics of fluid motion and thermal distribution within the solid cylinder and the cavity are dictated by two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and energy equations, which are numerically resolved through the finite element approach. The current study reveals that a circular-shaped rough cylinder positioned at the center of the cavity yields better optimization through ECOP and effectiveness when there is no internal heat generation. With the internal heat generation, thermal transport drops around 10 % at a high Re, whereas the ECOP drops around 70 % for the entire range of parameters. Hence, the other parameter should be optimized to mitigate this adverse situation when the system involves heat generation.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
