nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient have been experimentally measured on a horizontal rod heater for various liquid binary mixtures. measurements are based on more than three hundred data points on a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. in this investigation, it has been confirmed that the heat transfer coefficient in boiling solutions are regularly less than those in pure ...

this paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. although many mathematical models on the ro...

Direct numerical simulation is used to assess the importance of compressibility in turbulent channel flow of a mixture of air and water vapor with dispersed water droplets. The dispersed phase is allowed to undergo phase transition, which leads to heat and mass transfer between the phases. We compare simulation results obtained with an incompressible formulation with those obtained for compress...

In this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-Butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. The effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the heig...

The effects and influences of various parameters upon the efficiency and the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficients are important subjects to be studied in most liquid-liquid extraction processes. One of these important parameters is surface active agent (surfactant). In this paper, in order to study the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) concentration on the efficiency and the a...

This paper applies an evolutionary algorithm, the particle swarm optimization (PSO), to design the optimum open channel section. Depth, channel side slope and bottom width are considered as the variables for rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal channels, respectively. The objective function is minimizing the construction cost of the channel section. MATLAB software is used for programming an...

Air sparging in conjunction with soil vapor extraction is one of many technologies currently being applied for the remediation of groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Mass transfer at the air-water interface during air sparging is affected by various soil and VOC properties. In this study with a single air-channel apparatus, mass transfer of VOCs was shown to occur w...

I have developed an alternative numerical approach to study mass transfer from a stationary core-shell reservoir under channel flow conditions. I use the lattice Boltzmann method to compute both the solvent fluid flow and the diffusion and advection of the solute. I have investigated the impact of the flow by reporting mass transfer quantities such as the instantaneous solute concentration and ...

Numerous researches have been investigated on the mass transfer phenomena and hydrodynamics for the fluid in the vicinity of the membrane surface by the mathematical modelling and simulation. Due to complexities involved in solving transport phenomena within membranes, the application of CFD simulation study for determining the concentration polarization (CP) profile in the membrane channel is ...
