Radiation between fibers, conduction within fibers and convection from the fibers to the surrounding fluid are considered. Macroscopic (porous media) modeling is used to determine the velocity, pressure and temperatures fields for fibrous insulation with a random packing geometry under natural convection. Based on a non-gray application of the solution to the radiative transfer equation, the value of the refractive index(n,m)is used to generate macroscopic average radiative properties such as extinction coefficient, scattering albedo and phase function. Key features of the macroscopic model include two-dimensional effects,non-gray radiative exchange, and the relaxation of the local thermodynamic non-equilibrium. The effectiveness of this numerical model is validated by the previous experimental data.展开更多

The effects of thermal accumulation time, slurry proportions and temperature conditions on the thermal accumulation of backfill are analyzed, the influence of the heat conduction between backfill and surrounding rock, the heat convection between backfill and airflow on thermal accumulation were compared simultaneously. The results show that the total thermal accumulation capacity increases by approximately 85% within 10-90 d. The influence of surrounding rock temperature and initial temperature on total thermal accumulation capacity is more significant and it is approximately 2 times of the influence of slurry proportions under the conditions of this study. It is clear that the rise of surrounding rock temperature and the decrease of initial temperature can improve the thermal accumulation capacity more effectively. Moreover, the heat conduction accounts for a considerable proportion in the process of thermal accumulation, the average heat conduction capacity is approximately 25 times of the heat convection capacity. This study can provide the theoretical basis and application reference for the optimization of thermal accumulation process of CTB in the exploitation of geothermal resources.展开更多

By the use of IR (infrared radiation) transmissive polymer films and IR-emitting and absorbing gases, an advanced version of the skylight may supply passive cooling and thermal insulation to the room located below it. This novel radiative skylight can, in its cooling mode, lead heat from the room below, to the cool skies located above the skylight. When cooling is no longer needed or attainable, the skylight will in its cooling mode provide the room with an optimal amount of thermal resistance. This article is a progress reporting on the modeling of the skylight. The main work is done to combine the different heat transfer methods into one single model by the use of the commercial program Comsol 4.1. The results show that a cooling effect of 100 W/ma is achievable when the skylight is compared with a similar skylight containing only air.展开更多

The relative values of the thermal conductivities of the solid particles and the fluid also have a profound effect on the temperature distribution in the channel.The pressure drop decreases as the particle diameter increases and the convective heat transfer coefficient may decrease or increase as the particle diameter increases depending on the values of ε,λs,λf,λd,αv, ρu.展开更多

The results show that:(1)a larger permeability ratio (K*) causes a lower flow intensity in the enclosure and a smaller Nusselt number, all Nusselt numbers approach unity in the limit of K* → ∞;a larger thermal conductivity ratio (λ*) causes a stranger distortion of isotherms in the enclosure and a higher flow velocity near the walls, all the Nusselt numbers approach unity in the limit of λ*→0; the permeability and thermal conductivity ratios generally have opposing effects on the Nusselt number. (2) an increasing Darcy number decreases the flow intensity and heat transfer rates,which is more significant at a lower permeability ratio. In particular, with K*0.25, the Nusselt number for Da=10-3 would differ from that of Darcy flow up to an amount of 30%, an analysis neglecting the non-Darican effect will inevitably be of considerable error.展开更多

These equations take the conduction in microchannel wb along the direction of flow of coolants into account, which are more generalized than those which neglect the conduction. For the same reason, they are suitable particularly for gases-cooled microchannels.With only numerical solution to the equations till today, an approximate analytic solution is derived here. From this solution, a rather simple formula can be introduced bober, by which the differences between considering the conduction and neglecting it are easily found. In addition, the rcasonableness of the classical fin method is also discussed. An experimental example of air-cooled microchannels is illustrated.展开更多

The streamwise and spanwise spacings between elements were varied using a splitter plate that can be positioned at three different modular configurations. A set of empirical formulas waspresented to correlate the experimental data for the design of air cooling systems. Arrays of components with one odd-size module have been tested also. Experimental results show that blocks near the entrance and behind the odd-size module have improved performance compared with uniform arrangements. Accordingly, temperature sensitive components are suggested to be arranged in these locations.展开更多
