The flow of liquefied natural gas (LNG) which was coupled between heat transfer and fluid-flow in rib-tube was studied in this paper. Based on theoretical analysis, the model and wall-function were chosen to simulate the flow field of rib-tube, and the multiphase flow was described by the mixture model, in which the dispersed phase was defined by different velocity. In addtion, self-defining functions were used and governing equations were set up to solve the dispersed phase, and the result were compared with the experiment. The process of fluid-flow and heat exchange on rib-tube was simulated, and the contours of temperature, pressure, velocity, gas fraction were obtained, which showed that, the parameters of above changed when the temperature was rising and the LNG evaporating along the rib-tube, and a mixed process existed in the middle of the heat tube.

The present study aims to investigate coupled heat transfer by natural convection and conduction through a concrete hollow brick. The governing equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy are discretized by the finite volume approach and solved by the SIMPLE algorithm. The numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effect of Rayleigh number (103≤ Ra ≤ 107) on the heat transfer and fluid flow within the structure.

Set Up

An experimental system on the fluid flow in microchannels with heat generation at the bottom has been set up. This system approximates the use of microchannel flow for the cooling of electronic components. The fabrication procedure of the test section is introduced briefly. Then, different flow rates and heat input have been proposed to study the effect of these parameters experimentally. Several numerical models have been given to simulate this process. By comparing the results from these models and the experimental data, it is found that the “two channel model”, which employ two channels with periodic boundary conditions, is the best model to simulate the overall heat transfer performance. The study considers the use of combined experimental and numerical simulation for an accurate and realistic modeling of such complex microchannel systems.

Submerged Combustion

The submerged combustion vaporizer (SCV) is a kind of equipment used for liquefied natural gas (LNG) vaporization. In order to get insights into the heat transfer of supercritical LNG, numerical simulations were carried out in this paper for investigating heat transfer of LNG in horizontal circular tubes under supercritical pressure. Numerical results showed that LNG temperature at the outlet under the design parameters was 276 K which met the demands of application. The velocity of LNG at the outlet was 12 m/s, and the pressure drop along the ducts was 120 kPa.

The present study is a numerical simulation of natural convection in nanofluids, within in a square cavity differentially heated, to identify the fluid flow and heat transfer by considering the Soret effect during which a temperature gradient in a binary mixture gives rise to a concentration gradient. The governing equations solved numerically using the finite element method following the use of COMSOL Multiphysics. The effects of various parameters, the Rayleigh number, the nanoparticle concentration and the type of nanofluid are analyzed. Our simulations reveal that the heterogeneity of the nanofluid, which is generated by the Soret effect, increases the heat transfer.

The influence of utilizing different nanofluids types on the liquid cold plate (LCP) is numerically investigated. The thermal and fluid flow performance of LCP is examined by using pure ethylene glycol (EG), Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG. The volume fraction of the nanoparticle for both nanofluid is 2%. The finite volume method (FVM) has been used to solved 3-D steady state, laminar flow and heat transfer governing equations. The presented results indicate that Al2O3-EG able to provide the lowest surface temperature of the heater block followed by CuO-EG and EG, respectively. It is also found that the pressure drop and friction factor are higher for Al2O3-EG and CuO-EG compared to the pure EG.
