Numerical simulation of heat pipes in different applications

3-D Numerical Simulation of Heat Transfer in Biomedical Applications

Computational modelling has received significant attention in the research community over the past few decades due to its pronounced contribution in better understanding of the nature, as well as in the development of advanced technologies. The modelling of more and more complex transport physical systems helps the community to address important issues, like identification of environmental prob...

A Numerical Model for Transport in Heat Pipes with Different Wick Microstructures Effects

A transient, three-dimensional model for thermal transport in heat pipes and vapor chambers is developed. The Navier–Stokes equations along with the energy equation are solved numerically for the liquid and vapor flows. A porous medium formulation is used for the wick region. Evaporation and condensation at the liquid–vapor interface are modeled using kinetic theory. The influence of the wick m...

Transport in Ultra-Thin Heat Pipes for Low Power Applications

Numerical Simulation of Boiling Heat Transfer

It’s considered that pool boiling heat transfer is closely related to the intermittent behavior of vapor mass and the consumption of macro-layer on the heated surface. Many experiments have been carried out to support the macrolayer evaporation model, however, little has been done in the numerical simulation of boiling heat transfer. This paper reports a method to simulate heat transfer near th...

Numerical simulation of mixed convection heat transfer of nanofluid in an inclined enclosure by applying LBM

Mixed convection of Cu-Water nanofluid is studied numerically in a shallow inclined enclosure by applying lattice Boltzmann method. The D2Q9 lattice and internal energy distribution function based on the BGK collision operator are used in order to develop the thermal flow field. The enclosure's hot lid has the constant velocity of U0 while its cold lower wall has no motion. Moreover, sidewalls ...
