Book Convection in Porous Media

Download or read book Convection in Porous Media written by D.A. Nield and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A user-friendly introduction to convection in porous media, such as fibrous insulation, geological strata, and catalytic reactors. This is a self-contained presentation, requiring only routine classical mathematics and the basic elements of fluid mechanics and heat transfer. It will thus be of use not only to researchers and practising engineers as a review and reference, but also to graduates and others just entering the field. Applications discussed include such disparate topics as building insulation, energy storage, nuclear-waste disposal, coal and grain storage, chemical reactor engineering, groundwater flow, and stability of snow to avalanches. In this second edition the authors have added: discussions of compact heat exchangers and of tree networks; new material on external natural convection; descriptions of the effects of magnetic fields, of rotations, and of periodic heating; discussions of inclined gradients and of the solidification of alloys; and an extensive treatment of two-phase flows. An extensive list of references -- emphasising recent experimental work -- provides access to the current research literature.

Book An Experimental Study of Natural Convection in Air Between a Vertical Isothermal Flat Plate and a Parallel Insulted Flat Plate

Download or read book An Experimental Study of Natural Convection in Air Between a Vertical Isothermal Flat Plate and a Parallel Insulted Flat Plate written by Soon Mo Lee and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The free convective heat transfer phenomena in air between two vertical plates 24 by 38 inches spaced 15.895 mm apart, was investigated in this experimental study. One plate was isothermal and, the other adiabatic. A quartz fiber anomometer was used for measuring local velocities in the air between the vertical plates. A very fine iron-constantan thermocouple was used for local temperature measurements. Velocity and temperature profiles were obtained at several vertical positions along the plates. With the data obtained, local and mean convective heat transfer coefficients were determined at each vertical position.

Book An Experimental Study of Natural Convection in Air Between a Vertical Isothermal Flat Plate and a Parallel Insulated Flat Plate

This book was released on 1971 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural convection heat transfer in air between two vertical plates 38 by 24 inches was investigated in this work with spacings between the plates of 0.625, 1.0 and 1.75 inches. One plate was isothermal and the other adiabatic. To measure the point velocities in the air layer a very thin quartz fiber 0.0005 in. in diameter was used. An iron- constantan thermocouple 0.001 in. in diameter was used for local temperature measurement. Velocity and temperature profiles were obtained at several positions along the plate for each spacing between the plates. An equation in the form Nu[subscript x] = 0. 348 (Gr[subscript x] (x/W))0[superscript .]241 best describes the local heat transfer characteristics for this study.

Book Natural Convection Experiments in a Liquid saturated Porous Medium Bounded by Vertical Coaxial Cylinders

Download or read book Natural Convection Experiments in a Liquid saturated Porous Medium Bounded by Vertical Coaxial Cylinders written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental effort is presently underway to investigate natural convection phenomena in liquid-saturated porous media utilizing a geometry, and hydrodynamic/thermal boundary conditions, relevant to the problem of nuclear-waste isolation in geologic repositories. During the first phase of this research program, detailed measurements were made of the steady-state thermal field throughout an annular test region bounded by a vertical, constant-heat-flux, inner cylinder and a concentrically-placed, constant-temperature, outer cylinder. An overlying, constant-pressure, fluid layer was utilized to supply a permeable upper surface boundary condition. Results showed the heater surface temperature to increase with increasing vertical distance due to the presence of a buoyantly-driven upflow. The measured temperature difference (.delta.T) between the average heater surface temperature and the constant, outer-surface, temperature was found to be progressively below the straight-line/conduction-only solution for .delta.T vs power input as the latter was systematically increased. Comparisons between measured results and numerical predictions generated with the finite-element code MARIAH showed very good agreement, thereby contributing to the qualification of this code for repository-design applications.
