Abstract In this work, the processes of heat transfer in a premise heated by a gas infrared emitter (GIE) are studied on the basis of numerical solution of the heat and mass transfer equations in a two-dimensional formulation. Calculations are carried out taking into account the presence of supply and exhaust ventilation in the considered area. Ventilation is required during the operation of high-intensity type GIE. The analysis of the main heat and mass transfer parameters by radiant and convective flows is carried out.

Given the droplet surface temperature distribution versus time derived from the recent numerical modeling and experimental measurements of a single droplet evaporation, the gas side heat and mass transfer equations used in simple evaporation models for spray simulation in CFD codes are first evaluated. A new model for droplet evaporation is formulated. Instead of using the infinite or conduction limited models for liquid side heat transfer, in the new model, the liquid side heat transfer is simulated based on the Nusselt number. The model is validated against the published data and was found to be accurate in representing the gas and liquid side heat and mass transfer of a single droplet evaporation.

Analysis of magnetohydrodynamics flow of incompressible fluids over an oscillating bottom surface with heat and mass transfer is discussed. The flow is free convection in nature. Momentum, energy, and concentration equations are obtained for computation of their respective profiles. The unsteady flow two-dimensional governing equations are solved numerically by the explicit finite difference method of the Forward Time Backward Space scheme. The numerical results show that the applied parameters have significant effects on the fluid flow and heat transfer and have been discussed with the help of graphical illustrations.

A theoretical model based on heat and mass transfer equations was developed for determining a reliable comparison between different solar kiln designs. It involves dividing the drying process into two sequential steps, one in which only heat transfer occurs and a second one in which the actual drying process takes place. The model gives an equation for determining the evaporated water in function of the normal drying variables, together with a specially defined parameter which gives account for the air recirculation inside the kiln. The model was validated experimentally for a box-type collector solar kiln operating under constant and falling rate drying periods. It was found that although the model could be applied satisfactorily, the tested design proved to be a very inefficient one, giving low values for the recirculating parameter.

The flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian nanofluids has an extensive range of applications in oceanography, the cooling of metallic plates, melt-spinning, the movement of biological fluids, heat exchangers technology, coating and suspensions. In view of these applications, we studied the steady Marangoni driven boundary layer flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of a nanofluid. A non-Newtonian second-grade liquid model is used to deliberate the effect of activation energy on the chemically reactive non-Newtonian nanofluid. By applying suitable similarity transformations, the system of governing equations is transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations. These reduced equations are tackled numerically using the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg fourth-fifth order (RKF-45) method. The velocity, concentration, thermal fields and rate of heat transfer are explored for the embedded non-dimensional parameters graphically. Our results revealed that the escalating values of the Marangoni number improve the velocity gradient and reduce the heat transfer. As the values of the porosity parameter increase, the velocity gradient is reduced and the heat transfer is improved. Finally, the Nusselt number is found to decline as the porosity parameter increases.

Abstract The plate-fin heat exchanger has been widely applied in the field of air separation and aerospace due to its high specific surface area of heat transfer. However, the low heat transfer efficiency of its plate bundles has also attracted more attention. It is of great significance to optimize the structure of plate-fin heat exchanger to improve its heat transfer efficiency. The plate bundle was studied by combining numerical simulation with experiment. Firstly, according to the heat and mass transfer theory, the plate bundle calculation model of plate-fin heat exchanger was established, and the accuracy of the UDF (User-Defined Functions) for describing the mass and heat transfer was verified. Then, the influences of fin structure parameters on the heat and mass transfer characteristics of channel were discussed, including the height, spacing, thickness and length of fins. Finally the influence of various factors on the flow field performance under different flow states was integrated to complete the optimal design of the plate bundle.

The van Driest damped mixing length has been extended to account for the effects of mass transfer through a porous plate into a turbulent, two-dimensional incompressible boundary layer. The present mixing length is continuous from the wall through to the inner-law region of the flow, and although empirical, has been shown to predict wall shear stress and heat transfer data for a wide range of blowing rates.

In the past three decades, fractal geometry and technique have received considerable attention due to its wide applications in sciences and technologies such as in physics, mathematics, geophysics, oil recovery, material science and engineering, flow and heat and mass transfer in porous media etc. The fractal geometry and technique may become particularly powerful when they are applied to deal with random and disordered media such as porous media, nanofluids, nucleate boiling heat transfer. In this paper, a summary of recent advances is presented in the areas of heat and mass transfer in fractal media by fractal geometry technique. The present overview includes a brief summary of the fractal geometry technique applied in the areas of heat and mass transfer; thermal conductivities of porous media and nanofluids; nucleate boiling heat transfer. A few comments are made with respect to the theoretical studies that should be made in the future.
