Absorber is an important component in absorption refrigerating system. Its performance plays a significant role on the overall efficiency of absorption refrigerating system. The nanofluids which can enhance the heat and mass transfer will be utilized to absorber for enhancing the water vapor absorption process and improving the absorber efficiency. The software CFD-FLUENT is used to analyze the falling film absorption process of the nanofluids, which consists of H2O/LiBr solution with Fe3O4 nanoparticles in this paper. The results indicate that the enhancing heat and mass transfer of nanofluids is related to the nanoparticle concentration and size. The stronger the nanoparticle concentration, the greater enhancement of heat and mass transfer of falling film; while the smaller the nanoparticle size, the greater enhancement of heat and mass transfer of falling film. It is also found that the enhancement ratio of heat and mass transfer flux reach 1.48 and 1.37, respectively, as the Fe3O4 nanoparticles mass concentration of 0.01wt% and the size of 50nm.

Существуют два основных подхода решения задачи тепломассопереноса при численном моделировании промерзания грунтов: 1) решение методом конечных разностей с учетом граничных условий (границей, например, является фронт промерзания); 2) решение методом конечных элементов без учета границ модели. Оба подхода имеют существенные недостатки, что оставляет проблему решения задачи для численной модели промерзания грунтов острой и актуальной. В данной работе представлена физическая постановка промерзания, которая позволяет создать численную модель, базирующуюся на решении методом конечных элементов, но при этом отражающую ход фронта промерзания - то есть модель, в которой объединены оба подхода к решению задачи промерзания грунтов. Для подтверждения корректности модели был проделан ряд экспериментов по физическому моделированию промерзания модельного грунта и выполнен сравнительный анализ полученных экспериментальных данных и результатов расчетов на базе представленной численной модели с такими же граничными условиями, как в экспериментах. There are two basic approaches to solving the problem of heat and mass transfer in the numerical modeling of soil freezing: 1) using the finite difference method taking into account boundary conditions (the boundary, for example, is the freezing front); 2) using the finite element method without consideration of model boundaries. Both approaches have significant drawbacks, which leaves the issue of solving the problem for the numerical model of soil freezing acute and up-to-date. This article provides the physical setting of freezing that allows us to create a numerical model based on the solution by the finite element method, but at the same time reflecting the route of the freezing front, i.e. the model that combines both approaches to solving the problem of soil freezing. In order to confirm the correctness of the model, a number of experiments on physical modeling of model soil freezing have been performed, and a comparative analysis of the experimental data obtained and the calculation results based on the provided numerical model with the same boundary conditions as in the experiments was performed.

Abstract In this study, the numerical solutions of the modified Fornberg–Whitham (mFW) equation, which describes immigration of the solitary wave and peakon waves with discontinuous first derivative at the peak, have been obtained by the collocation finite element method using quintic trigonometric B-spline bases. Although there are solutions of this equation by semi-analytical and analytical methods in the literature, there are very few studies on the solution of the equation by numerical methods. Any linearization technique has not been used while applying the method. The stability analysis of the applied method is examined by the von-Neumann Fourier series method. To show the performance of the method, we have considered three test problems with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions having analytical solutions. The error norms L 2 and L ∞ are calculated to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented numerical scheme.
