... sweep under a range of psychrometric conditions, then compares product and humid sweep modes to understand the effects of sweep conditions on dehumidification performance. Concurrently, a numerical model of an MD is implemented and validated—first against the module specification sheet, then against...

...), the method used here exploits a direct nonlinear numerical model associated with a parameter estimation technique to determine temperature dependent thermal conductivities. It has been applied to a water-agar gel during phase change and the thermal conductivities within the corresponding temperature interval...

... transfer rate near the edges of the plate and is referred to as the edge effect. The primary objective of this paper is to numerically study this edge effect and the interaction of the flows over two inclined vertically separated narrow heated plates of the same size embedded in a plane adiabatic surface...

.... Conservation equations are derived by applying the volume averaging theory [ 9 ] to the two-phase reactive medium for the conditions of LTNE and then solved numerically to obtain the macroscale behavior. The results obtained for the representative test case are presented to illustrate the coupling between...

...Sebastian Spring; Yunfei Xing; Bernhard Weigand A combined experimental and numerical investigation of the heat transfer characteristics within arrays of impinging jets with rib-roughened surfaces is presented. Two configurations are considered: One with an inline arrangement of jets and ribs...

... rectangular waveguide numerical type I-cement paste hardened In the past decade, there are many successful examples of microwave application such as the heating and drying of foods, heating and drying of ceramics, heating and drying of cement paste, and vulcanizations of rubber. A number of other...

...K. Hooman; H. Gurgenci Temperature-dependent viscosity effect in buoyancy driven flow of a gas or a liquid in an enclosure filled with a porous medium is studied numerically based on the general model of momentum transfer in a porous medium. The exponential form of viscosity-temperature relation...

...Y. M. F. El. Hasadi; A. A. Busedra; I. M. Rustum Laminar mixed convection in the entrance region for horizontal semicircular ducts with the flat wall on top is investigated theoretically. The governing momentum and energy equations are solved numerically using a marching technique with the finite...

...G. Danko A numerical-computational procedure is described to determine a multidimensional functional or an operator for the representation of the computational results of a numerical transport code. The procedure is called numerical transport code functionalization (NTCF). Numerical transport codes...

... this explicit coupling approach is convenient from the point of view of computer code development, it is not necessarily the best approach for stability and convergence. A new numerical procedure is presented in which the EE and RTE are implicitly coupled and solved simultaneously, rather than as segregated...
