Abstract The droplet injection experiments to be performed in a 7 × 7 rod bundle heat transfer test facility are being simulated using an advanced thermal hydraulics computer code called COBRA-TF. A current version of the code, which provides a three-dimensional, two-fluid, three-field representation of the two-phase flow, is modified to facilitate the simulation of the droplet field produced by the injection system in the test facility. The liquid phase is split into a continuous liquid field and droplet field where a separate momentum and mass equation is solved for each field, with the effects of spacer grids being properly accounted for. Pre-test analyses using the modified COBRA-TF code have been conducted for different injection conditions. Results indicate that there are specific ranges of conditions that can be simulated within the facility constraints to provide for validation of the dispersed flow film boiling models. The numerical results also show important effects of the spacer grids on the local heat transfer in the dispersed flow film boiling regime.

A new mathematical model describing heat transfer during the fermentation process in a rotary drum is proposed. The model includes representations of the kinetic reactions, the temperature of the solid bed, and physical structures within the rotary drum. The model is developed using five ordinary differential equations and was then solved using the Runge-Kutta method embedded in MATLAB software. A reasonable behaviour for the temperature profile to the fermentation process is achieved. The results show that the mass of the solid bed, contact heat transfer coefficient, and the wall temperature has a significant effect on the fermentation process in a rotary drum.
