In order to improve the efficiency of the diesel engine and reduce emissions, an improved heat transfer model was developed in an AVL-BOOST environment which is a powerful and user-friendly software for engine steady-state and transient performance analysis. The improved heat transfer model considers the advantages of the Woschni1978 heat transfer model and Honhenberg heat transfer model. In addition, a five-component biodiesel skeletal mechanism containing 475 reactions and 134 species was developed to simulate the fuel spray process and combustion process since it contained methyl linolenate, methyl linoleate, methyl oleate, methyl stearate, and methyl palmitate, which are a majority component in most biodiesel. Finally, the propulsion and load characteristics of a diesel engine fueled with biodiesel fuel were investigated by the improved heat transfer model in term of power, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), soot and NOx emissions. Similarly, the effects of the fuel injection rate on the diesel engine’s characteristic fueled with biodiesel was studied. The result showed that the errors between experiment and simulation were less than 2%. Thus, the simulation model could predict the propulsion and load characteristics of the diesel engine. The nozzle diameter, injection pressure, and injection advance angle are significant to the injection system. Thus, it is very important to choose the injection rate reasonably.

This study is to establish a preliminary computer assisted simulation model for cryoablation of a prostate cancer. It is hoped that the results from this study can supply valuable data for the clinician to refer to before a real cryosurgery or cryotherapy. In order to reach the goal of real implementation, a radiologist and an urologist in a medical center in addition to the engineering specialist from the university participated in this interdisciplinary research program. Firstly, hundreds of the two-dimensional medical imaging photos for the patient are obtained from the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the imaging department of hospital. Through the imaging reconstructive software, these photos are trimmed into building a three-dimensional solid modeling. In this step, the urethra, bladder, prostate and rectum are segmented separately into an engineering graphic solid model with high resolution. Secondly, the number of probes, the position of each probe, and the operating time duration of each probe are determined in advance according to the clinical experience from a surgeon. Meanwhile, these data are transferred into the software package of thermal calculation for numerical simulations. Thirdly, the energy equation in the commercial software is modified to behave bio-heat transfer model by the input of user subroutines. Moreover, the occurrence of phase change during some specified temperature range and the latent heat of fusion are also incorporated into bio-heat transfer model to simulate the clinical situation for cryoablation of prostate cancer. In the simulation model, the three-dimensional transient temperature distributions based on cryosurgery for prostate cancer have been demonstrated precisely. The cryoprobes with various freezing time are considered to observe the temperature distribution. In addition, the frozen rectum is displayed in a region enclosed by a critical isotherm of 0°C. The simulated results for cryosurgery of prostate cancer can be supplied for practicing physicians as reference to greatly improve the effectiveness of cryosurgery.

The objective of this study is to establish boundary conditions to evaluate the cooling capacity of the Cooling Radiant Ceiling Panel (CRCP) considering the environment of a room equipped with the CRCP. The current study investigated the boundary conditions and derivation techniques from previous studies. Based on the results of the analysis, a heat transfer model was derived for a room fitted with CRCP. In addition, the heat transfer model was used to derive the factors affecting the cooling capacity of the CRCP and each factor was simulated and verified through this model. The effects of these factors on the capacity of the CRCP was established by using various boundary conditions. To verify the validity of the simulation model, the experimental results were compared with the cooling capacity for a specific case. As a result, it was established that even for the same panel, there was a variance in the cooling capacity of the CRCP based on the boundary conditions and that the influence of the surface exposed to the outdoors had more implications. Consequently, this study presents the influence factors to be considered when designing CRCP.

A theoretical post-dryout heat transfer model is developed for two-phase dispersed flow, one-dimensional vertical pipe in a post-CHF regime. Because of the presence of average droplet diameter lower bound in a two-phase sparse flow. Droplet diameter is also calculated. Obtained results are compared with experimental values. Experimental data is used two-phase flow steam-water in VVER-1200, reactor coolant system, reactor operating pressure is 16.2 MPa. On heater rod surface, dryout was detected as a result of jumping increase of the heater rod surface temperature. Results obtained display lower droplet dimensions than the experimentally obtained values.
