Summary This paper presents an example of humid air flow around a single head of Chinese cabbage under conditions of complex heat transfer. This kind of numerical simulation allows us to create a heat and humidity transfer model between the Chinese cabbage and the flowing humid air. The calculations utilize the heat transfer model in porous medium, which includes the temperature difference between the solid (vegetable tissue) and fluid (air) phases of the porous medium. Modelling and calculations were performed in ANSYS Fluent 14.5 software.

Implicit Numerical Method

Abstract The paper considers a numerical model of a flow in a porous medium containing particles of a melting component (polymer). For this, an implicit numerical method of splitting in directions is used. Calculations are carried out for two heating methods (through the side wall, or by the input gas). The simulation results qualitatively reproduce some of the experimentally observed features of the thermal decomposition of polymer-containing mixtures. The results obtained are of interest in the study of low-grade fuels processing, often accompanied by agglomeration, as well as in the development of methods by which agglomeration can be prevented.

In this paper the numerical modelling of the behaviour of a channel of a hygroscopic compact matrix is presented. The heat and mass transfer phenomena occurring in the porous medium and within the airflow are strongly coupled, and some properties of the airflow and of the desiccant medium exhibit important changes during the sorption/desorption processes. The adopted physical modelling takes into account the gas side and solid side resistances to heat and mass transfer, as well as the simultaneous heat and mass transfer together with the water adsorption/desorption process in the wall domain. Two phases co-exist in equilibrium inside the desiccant porous medium, the equilibrium being characterized by sorption isotherms. The airflow is treated as a bulk flow, the interaction with the wall being evaluated by using appropriated convective coefficients. The model is used to perform simulations considering two distinct values of the channel wall thickness and different lengths of the channel. The results of the modelling lead to a good understanding of the relationship between the characteristics of the sorption processes and the behaviour of hygroscopic matrices, and provide guidelines for the wheel optimization, namely of the duration of the adsorption and desorption periods occurring in each hygroscopic channel.

The infiltration of a light nonaqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) into an unsaturated porous medium will result in varying amounts of water, LNAPL, and air within the soil voids. A simple and reliable method of determining the percent saturation of each fluid is needed to analyze laboratory infiltration experiments. This note reviews the available methodologies for determining the oil content in porous media and presents an experimental study of a simple and reliable method for determining water and oil contents in an unsaturated fine to medium sand. Key words: fluid saturations, oil content, gravimetric, extraction, assay.
