In order to overcome this shortcoming, a semi-analytical solution for the heat equation for a single phase, homogeneous, and finite-slab with a growing or receding boundary under unit loading was derived using the Laplace transform method and Zakian's series representation of the inverse Laplace transform. Predictions were compared to finite element solutions with good agreement obtained for low to moderate growth or recession rates with improvements seen by using a heuristic approach.

These systems have tremendous potential to increase energy efficiency and decrease carbon emissions in both industrial and building sectors. To further enhance the utilization rate of industrial waste heat, optimizing TES systems has attracted significant attention. This study explores the solidification process of a vertical shell-and-tube TES unit with the annulus filled with a composite phase-change material (PCM) comprising paraffin and copper foam. Numerical simulations are employed, which are verified by visualization experiments of the TES unit. To improve the thermal performance of the unit, porous media with non-uniform parameters is implemented. Non-uniform pore structures, featuring radially varying gradients (positive, i.e., porosity increasing in the positive radial direction, and negative, i.e., porosity decreasing in the positive radial direction) that are oriented perpendicular to the flow direction of the inner tube, are compared to uniformly dispersed pore structures. Results indicate that, compared to the uniform structure, the utilization of the positive gradient shortens the time to complete solidification by 15.9% while simultaneously increasing temperature uniformity by 14.6%. In contrast, the negative gradient results in a 5.7% increase in complete solidification time and a 31.0% decrease in temperature uniformity. The optimum gradient porosity combination (0.87-0.94-0.97) is obtained by the response surface method to optimize the structural parameters of the radial gradient porosity.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"15 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140436643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research confirms that for different geometries, similar non-dimensionalized constriction resistance results are obtained, particularly when using the square root of the source area as the characteristic length and the square root of the constriction area ratio. The study reveals that flux tube shape has a minimal impact on thermal spreading resistance, with the circle-on-triangle configuration displaying the largest deviation from a simple circle-on-circle model.

Much of the past work in this field addresses an iso-flux source, with relatively lesser work on the isothermal source problem, which is of much relevance to heat transfer across rough interfaces. This work presents an analytical solution for thermal spreading/constriction resistance that governs heat flow from an isothermal source into a multilayer orthotropic semi-infinite flux tube. The mixed boundary condition due to the isothermal source is accounted for by writing a convective boundary condition with an appropriately chosen spatially-varying Biot number. A series solution for the temperature field is derived, along with a set of linear algebraic equations for the series coefficients. An expression for the non-dimensional thermal spreading resistance is derived for Cartesian and cylindrical problems. It is shown that, depending on the values of various non-dimensional parameters, heat transfer in either the thin film or the flux tube may dominate and govern the overall thermal spreading resistance. Results for a single-layered isotropic flux tube are derived as a special case of the general result, for which, good agreement with past work is demonstrated. An easy-to-use polynomial fit for this special case is presented. This work contributes a novel technique for solving mixed boundary problems involving an isothermal source. Results may contribute towards solving practical problems involving thermal management and interfacial heat transfer.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"62 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140436910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, an integrated mathematical model consisting of liquid steel solidification and two phase interface is numerically developed with the use of EMS. The enthalpy porosity and volume of fluid(VOF) model are adopted for numerical modelling analysis of solidification and interface level fluctuation respectively. The results reveal that on moving EMS downwards decreases the maximum magnetic field value, widens the mushy zone and promotes the stability of the interface. Current intensity and frequency are seen to have the opposite effect on stirring intensity and interface fluctuation. With an increase in frequency, both stirring intensity and interface level fluctuations decrease while the high liquid fraction region increases. Moreover, current density enhances the swirling flow intensity and homogenizes the liquid fraction, thereby promoting equiaxed grain formation. Interface fluctuation is seen to increase with current density.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"60 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While PCMs have very high thermal storage capacities, their typically low thermal conductivities impose limitations on energy charging and discharging rates. Extensive research efforts have focused on improving PCM thermal conductivity through the incorporation of additives. However, this approach presents challenges such as achieving uniform mixtures, maintaining high latent heat, and cost. Alternatively, it has been demonstrated that, in this study, reducing the length scale of the PCM-encasement thickness can eliminate the low thermal conductivity effect of PCMs. To illustrate this concept, a one-dimensional PCM slab was numerically simulated. The thickness of the slab was varied to represent dimensions found in flow passages of compact heat exchangers, and the heat transfer coefficient of the heating fluid was varied to represent lower and upper bounds while also including nominal values encountered in air-to-air heat exchangers. The thermal conductivity was parametrically varied from the natural value of the PCM to simulated enhanced values (potentially achieved through additives) of up to 400 times larger. Results show that reducing the PCM encasement thickness yields substantially better performance than by improving the thermal conductivity, thereby demonstrating the potential for compact heat exchanger design to overcome the PCM thermal conductivity limitations.","PeriodicalId":505153,"journal":{"name":"ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139595935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical simulations are performed in a set of combined dimensionless problem parameters.

In terms of mean squared error metric, NN outputs give the best goodness of fit results comparing to curve fitting on test data.
