Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mensimulasikan distribusi temperatur dengan variasi radius channel garam dan temperatur masukan pada teras Molten Salt Breeder Reactor (MSBR). Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) dengan perangkat lunak Ansys Fluent digunakan pada simulasi ini untuk sebuah sel moderator. Variasi radius channel garam adalah 0,0108 m; 0,0208; dan 0,0308 m dengan panjang moderator 3,96 m. Variasi temperatur masukan adalah 809 K, 839 K, 859 K, dan 909 K. Hasil simulasi pada variasi radius menunjukkan bahwa dengan pertambahan sebesar 0,01 m memberikan kenaikan suhu sebesar 8 - 23 K pada temperatur masukan konstan. Perubahan terhadap temperatur masukan, diperoleh kenaikan temperatur keluaran antara 1 - 10 K, pada radius channel garam yang konstan. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa distribusi temperatur dalam teras MSBR akan meningkat jika radius channel garam diperkecil atau temperatur masukan dinaikkan.

The objective of this study was to compare computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based simulations and visualized seed trajectories in different seed tubes that can provide seed incorporation into the soil with enhanced seed spacing. The other objective was to determine the relation between the seed trajectories and peripheral speed of the vacuum disk. In order to meet the first objective, 2 different seeds (corn and cotton) and artificial spherical material (Ø10 mm) were tested under laboratory conditions. The seeds and artificial material were released by free fall into the semitransparent seed tubes (seed tubes A and B) from different release points, and their trajectories were recorded using a video camera. For the second objective, corn seeds were used and released from a vacuum-type metering unit equipped with a semitransparent seed tube (seed tube A) at 3 different peripheral speeds of the vacuum disk, as a function of 3 forward speeds of the seeder. For both objectives, the seed tubes were modeled and release of the seeds into the seed tubes was simulated and analyzed using ANSYS Fluent for CFD. The results obtained from the captured video and simulations were compared. As a result of the comparisons, it was found that the seed release point was an effective parameter on both the seed trajectory and seed spacing, since seed bouncing and skating in the seed tube, based on the release point, may occur. The results also showed that the lab tests and simulations were found to be very similar in terms of the seed trajectories and seed spacings. It is believed that this study, using CFD, will be an example and enable the development and design of new seed tubes in order to obtain better seed distribution uniformity.

This paper aims at building a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model which can describe the gas flow three dimensions (3D) distribution in blast furnace (BF) throat. Firstly, the boundary conditions are obtained by rebuilding central gas flow shape in BF based on computer graphics. Secondly, the CFD model is built based on turbulent model by analyzing the features of gas flow. Finally, a method which can get the numerical solutions of the model is proposed by using CFD software ANSYS/FLUENT. The proposed model can reflect the changes of the gas flow distribution, and can help to guide the operation of furnace burdening and to ensure the BF stable and smooth production.

The goal of this project was to develop a model for a Combined Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) unit to ease in the assessment of potential changes to the unit before fabrication of actual parts. This process reduces the time to assess changes in the system; once the initial model is created changes are relatively simple. It also reduces cost incurred for actual testing by certified labs and can simulate output variations in different climate conditions, site locations and times of year. A commercially available PV/T unit was chosen for analysis, which utilizes two water channels under the photovoltaic assembly instead of the conventional sheet-and-tube design to actively cool the solar cells while also collecting thermal energy that can be used for heating water or air via a heat transfer system. The project described in this paper modeled the PV/T unit in two ways: (1) as a one-dimensional theoretical model and (2) modeling the system in ANSYS FLUENT and simulating the fluid flow, energy and radiation models using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The baseline CFD model was correlated to published Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC) test data for pressure drop and thermal performance to gage accuracy of the model. Through a literature search of past work on similar modules and systems, several potential improvements to the unit were identified and a detailed analysis was conducted by individually adding each to the theoretical model, then comparing them to the output of the baseline model. Combinations of improvements were evaluated as well and assessed based on output improvement, technical feasibility and expected cost. The accuracy of the 1-D model was compared to the CFD model to assess the benefits gained from the added complexity of using computational fluid dynamics.

In this study, turbulent flow fields in a baffled vessel stirred by counter-axial flow impeller have been investigated in comparison to the Rushton turbine. The resultant turbulence was numerically predicted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Turbulence models were developed in ANSYS Fluent 18.1 solver using the Navier-Stokes equation with the standard k-ε turbulence model. The Multiple Reference Frame (MRF) approach was used to simulate the impeller action in the vertical and horizontal planes of the stirred fluid volume. Velocity profiles generated from the simulations were used to predict and compare the performance of the two designs. To validate the CFD model, the simulation results were compared with experimental results from existing work and a satisfactory agreement was established. It was concluded that the counter-axial flow impeller could provide better turbulence characteristics that would improve the quality of mixing systems.

Hydrocyclones provide an economic and efficient process of separation in many industries, but there has been little detailed understanding of the strong swirling flow prevailing inside the device, especially the complex inner vortex. This work presented a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to predict and to evaluate the effects of inlet velocity and the diameter of overflow tube on the inner vortex. The calculation was carried out using commercial CFD code Ansys Fluent 14.0. The results obtained demonstrates both an overlarge inlet velocity and a too small diameter of overflow tube lead to a severe backmixing at the head of hydrocyclone, moreover the latter results in a disorder and unstructured inner vortex.

Physical Quantities

As a very important element of most water supply systems, valves are exposed to the effects of strong hydrodynamic forces. When exposed to large physical quantities, the valve and piping can be damaged, which could endanger the performance of a water supply system. This is the main reason why it is necessary to foresee and determine the maximum values of velocity, pressure and other physical quantities that can occur in the system under certain conditions. Predicting extreme conditions allows us to correctly size the valve for the expected conditions to which the valve might be exposed, which is also the main objective of this paper. One of the methods for predicting and determining extreme values on a valve is to perform a simulation with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This is exactly the method used in the preparation of this paper with the aim of gaining insight into the physical magnitudes for models of gate valves positioned inside a pipe under characteristic degrees of valve closure. The Ansys CFX 19.1 and Ansys Fluent 19.1 software was used to simulate the hydrodynamic analysis and obtain the required results. The hydrodynamic analysis was performed for four opening degrees of gate valve
