The flow channel design in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is critical for transporting reactant gases and removing product water efficiently. Herein, we proposed performed comprehensive study of four designs: straight, wavy, 2D-Nozzle, the novel 3D-Nozzle. Using limiting current method, discovered that oxygen transport resistance 2D-Nozzle designs are similar confirming diffusive mechanis...

In this note we consider the application of the WENO scheme to simulations of steady-state flow in a converging diverging nozzle. We demonstrate the recovery of design accuracy through Gegenbauer postprocessing, despite the degradation of the order of accuracy for the numerical solution of the Euler equations to first-order in regions where the characteristics passed through the shock. We have ...

The optimal design of the thrust vector control system solid rocket motors (SRMs) is discussed. injection a supersonic underexpanded gas jet into diverging part engine nozzle considered, and multiparameter optimization geometric shape parameters flow developed. turbulent viscous compressible in main simulated with Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations shear stress transport (SST) tur...

The transient phenomena of incident shock waves during its passage through an orifice, a diverging nozzle, and a conical disk as baffles in a tube are numerically simulated. The influence of geometrical configurations of the baffles on shock attenuation is investigated. The results show that the conical disk was most effective configuration to weaken the strength of transmitted shock waves, sin...

A method for the quasi-one-dimensional simulation of magnetic nozzles was developed and simulations of a magnetic nozzle were performed. The effects of the density variation due to plasma expansion and the magnetic field forces on ion acceleration were investigated. The density variation only weakly affects ion acceleration. Magnetic field forces acting on the electrons were found to be respons...

This paper presents the experimental results the choked flow characteristics of a subcritical refrigerant through a converging-diverging nozzle. A test nozzle with a throat diameter of 2 mm was designed and developed. The influence of operating conditions on the choked flow characteristics, i.e., the pressure profile and mass flow rate under choked flow conditions are investigated. The results ...

The paper expresses a mathematical model of homogeneous gas motion with respect to formation processes and the growth condensation nuclei. Since condensed particles are small, research is carried out single velocity model. results obtained have shown that application cylindrical tube leads nonlinear flow effects. responds to: geometrical exposure related transition from conical diverging nozzle
