It investigates the effect of Rayleigh number (i.e., 10<sup>2</sup> ≤ <i>Ra</i> ≤ 10<sup>6</sup>) and the center-to-center spacing (1≤ <i>S/D</i> ≤ 9). The study shows that the augmentation or reduction of heat transfer rate from an individual cylinder in the array to that of a single unconfined cylinder under identical conditions strongly depends on the separation distance and Rayleigh number. Moreover, the average <i>Nu</i> from the bottom cylinder deteriorates only at very close spacing, whereas after <i>S/D</i> ≥ 3, it attains an asymptotic value to that of a single cylinder. The heat transfer rates from the middle and top cylinders relative to a single cylinder also deteriorate drastically at close spacing. In contrast, a slight enhancement is observed at relatively large spacing and higher <i>Ra</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140570434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The global solution equation in matrix form is derived using the interface conditions, and the BEM is used to solve the direct problem. The CGM minimizes the objective function and calculates the sensitivity coefficients with the complex variable derivation method (CVDM). Comparative results show that the present approach is more accurate, stable, and efficient than the conventional CGM, which is attributed to the calculation of the sensitivity coefficients by CVDM. The effects of the value of thermal contact resistance, thermal conductivity ratio, Biot number, initial guess, measurement error, and the number and position of measurement points on the inversion results are also analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated through numerical examples, and the inversion results show its stability, efficiency, and accuracy in identifying different and complex distributions of thermal contact resistance. Furthermore, this approach is feasible for nonintrusive measurement, which is very meaningful in practical applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140570359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solver provides a versatile environment for engineering analyses and incorporates a third-party library for the evaluation of thermodynamic/transport properties of pyrolysis gas mixture and chemical kinetics, if necessary. Thermal nonequilibrium between the solid and the gas phases is considered using the two-equation model. A novel reactor network approach is used for modeling pyrolysis gas flow inside the porous ablative material, allowing simulations with various gas compositions and reaction mechanisms. Effects of chemical and thermal nonequilibrium and influences of the porosity and permeability of the porous structure on the response of charring ablative materials are explored. It is observed that higher porosity and smaller permeability values induce local thermal equilibrium, and chemical reactions increase the temperature differences between the phases.</p>","PeriodicalId":17482,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140570343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
