Book Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media

Download or read book Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media written by Sadik Kakaç and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1083 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of literature on convective heat and mass transfer through porous media has brought both engineering and fundamental knowledge to a new state of completeness and depth. Additionally, several new questions of fundamental merit have arisen in several areas which bear direct relation to further advancement of basic knowledge and applications in this field. For example, the growth of fundamental heat transfer data and correlations for engineering use for saturated media has now reached the point where the relations for heat transfer coefficients and flow parameters are known well enough for design purposes. Multiple flow field regimes in natural convection have been identified in several important enclosure geometries. New questions have arisen on the nature of equations being used in theoretical studies, i. e. , the Validity of Darcy assumption is being brought into question; Wall effects in high and low velocity flow fields have been found to play a role in predicting transport coefficients; The formulation of transport problems in fractured media are being investigated as both an extension of those in a homogeneous medium and for application in engineering systems in geologic media and problems on saturated media are being addressed to determine their proper formulation and solution. The long standing problem of how to adequately formulate and solve problems of multi-phase heat and mass transfer in heterogeneous media is important in the technologies of chemical reactor engineering and enhanced oil recovery.

Book Two way Coupling of Multiphase Transport and Viscoelastic Large Deformation of Unsaturated Swelling Porous Materials

Download or read book Two way Coupling of Multiphase Transport and Viscoelastic Large Deformation of Unsaturated Swelling Porous Materials written by Haolin Zhu and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiphase transport in unsaturated swelling porous materials involves fluid mass transport, heat transfer as well as swelling of the porous solid matrix. Neglecting the deformation of the solid matrix can lead to erroneous results when modeling transport phenomena in porous materials. In particular, many porous materials exhibit viscoelastic effect upon wetting/drying, which can expedite or slow the transport process. This work presents modeling and simulation of two-way coupling of multiphase transport and viscoelastic large deformation of unsaturated swelling porous systems based on fundamental physics. The work includes the development of a thermomechanical theory for multiphase transport in unsaturated swelling porous media based on the Hybrid Mixture Theory (saturated systems can also be modeled as a special case of this general theory). The theory includes three phases: solid matrix, fluid and air and uses the Coleman-Noll procedure to obtain restrictions on the form of the constitutive equations. Derived relationships include, for example, a modified Darcy's law, which takes into account both Fickian and non-Fickian transport, and a viscoelastic constitutive relationship that relates the stress and strain tensors for the solid phase. A model is then developed based on this theory for isothermal conditions which involves a simple form of a differential-integral equation that governs the fluid transport and is fully coupled with the solid large deformation. Numerical implementation of this model is then presented that involves a finite element analysis of water absorption of plane sheet pasta and numerical results of sorption curves show good agreement with experimental results obtained from the literature. Importance of including viscoelastic relaxation is investigated for soaking processes of pasta. Drying of potato is also considered in this work as an important example of two-way coupling of multiphase transport and viscoelastic large deformation of the solid matrix of porous materials because during drying processes, the transition of outer surface of the material from rubbery to glassy state at low moisture content can slow or stop shrinkage of the materials, and thus viscoelasticity plays an important role.

Book Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media

Download or read book Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media written by Michel Quintard and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in the theoretical and practical problems of porous media physics are reviewed in this volume. The main emphasis is on the interdisciplinary nature of transport phenomena in porous media study. State-of-the-art reviews and descriptions of innovative research in progress are reported. A broad spectrum of problems and techniques related to porous media physics is presented. Fundamental questions currently under investigation provide a unifying theme in this volume, helping the reader to understand the problems and research trends in the field. The first part focuses on general problems and techniques. Phenomenological aspects of averaging techniques, the hierarchy of scales that are involved in real porous media and the related scaling problems of multiphase, multicomponent transport phenomena are examined with the emphasis on providing the basic scientific background for a variety of applications. Sometimes, theory comes very close to applications, and occasionally they diverge. This timely treatise demonstrates that both is now the case in porous media physics. This volume will prove an indispensable reference source for all those interested in resolving discrepancies through innovative research work, and inspiring new advances in the field.

Book Modelling Heat and Mass Transfer in Freezing Porous Media

Download or read book Modelling Heat and Mass Transfer in Freezing Porous Media written by Leonid Brondenbrener and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heat and mass transfer in porous media under phase transition conditions has a great scientific and practical interest in solving of engineering and technical problems. Many industrial processes require the study of mathematical models for the development of both the technologies based on the phase transitions in porous media and experimental devices for the study of these processes. The main goal of the book is sequential and systematical consideration from unified view point the heat and mass transfer processes occurring in heterogeneous porous media (soil-water-ice) under phase transition conditions. New solutions and also analytical and numerical models are provided for the analysis of the freezing (thawing) processes in the soils, which are arisen in various regions such as Canada, The United States and North-East Asia. For multiphase media, the system of differential equations with allowance of phase transition kinetics is derived. In contrast to the most studies, considering a two-zone model for the solution (classical approach), we suppose the existence of a region of intensive phase transitions freezing or kinetic zone, which is characterised by non-instantaneous kinetics of crystallisation. As a new and important result, the criterion for freezing zone formation as a function of soil properties and freezing conditions is derived. The book also includes the new experimental method and results relating to determination of the important characteristic for the kinetic model time of the water crystallisation in freezing porous media. A new approach for the modelling the secondary frost heave is proposed and described in detail. The new results, concerning with frost heave distribution and its rate, are presented. On the basis of perturbation method in a two-dimensional coupled heat and mass transfer model, for the first time, the analytical criteria in dimensionless form for the both dynamic and morphological instability are derived. Employing Fourier synthesis, an actual front shape evolution is calculated. In this way the new physical results are obtained. All results of modelling represented in book have an appropriate mathematical justification, are illustrated by comparison with appropriate experimental data and, where it is possible, with calculation results of other authors. The models and results presented in this book can be used for the prediction of the main engineering characteristics for the practical problems.

Book Principles of Heat Transfer in Porous Media

Download or read book Principles of Heat Transfer in Porous Media written by M. Kaviany and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the empirical treatment of fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media is over a century old, only in the last three decades has the transport in these heterogeneous systems been addressed in detail. So far, single-phase flows in porous media have been treated or at least formulated satisfactorily, while the subject of two-phase flow and the related heat-transfer in porous media is still in its infancy. This book identifies the principles of transport in porous media and compares the avalaible predictions based on theoretical treatments of various transport mechanisms with the existing experimental results. The theoretical treatment is based on the volume-averaging of the momentum and energy equations with the closure conditions necessary for obtaining solutions. While emphasizing a basic understanding of heat transfer in porous media, this book does not ignore the need for predictive tools; whenever a rigorous theoretical treatment of a phenomena is not avaliable, semi-empirical and empirical treatments are given.
