...Clement A. Komolafe; Fuseini Mumuni; Kabiru A. Jimoh; Frederick A. Akendola The kinetics and modeling of heat and mass transfer during the solar drying of cassava slices integrated with the pebble's sensible thermal storage material (PSTSM) were investigated. Fifteen thin layer drying models were...

... and the overall efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. First, a numerical study has been carried out to reduce the temperature of photovoltaic panels using cooling fluids. To achieve our goal, a modeling of the heat flows between the panel components and the cooling fluid was performed, and then a matlab...

...Gaganpreet Sidhu; Seshasai Srinivasan; Sanjiwan Bhole An improved model is presented for the formation of bainitic structures during isothermal heat treatment conditions. The model based on displacive mechanism consists of a new expression for the volume fraction of bainite as a function of time...

... on lumped modeling, hence not addressing the heterogeneities that arise in the interior of the chamber. In this work, an in-depth 3D model of the velocity and temperature fields that develops in the interior of climatic chambers was developed in computer fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated...

... and tomography-based heat and mass characterization of heterogeneous media, kinetics of high-temperature heterogeneous reactions, heat and mass transfer modeling of solar thermochemical systems, and thermal measurements in high-temperature systems are presented, with brief discussions of their methods...

... the fill hangs down into the air inlet region. This results in that the fill Merkel number or transfer characteristic for cross-counter flow is between that of purely counter- and crossflow fills. When using CFD to model natural draught wet-cooling tower performance for isotropic fill resistance, two...
