Effects of latent heat storage on heat transfer in a forced flow in a porous layer

Simulation of complete liquid–vapour phase change process inside porous evaporator using local thermal non-equilibrium model

“…4. 12 It may be noted from Fig. 5 that for a complete phase change process 13 DT sf is characterised by the existence of two peaks, where the first peak, characterised by T s <T f , corresponds to the conversion from the subcooled liquid to the two-phase mixture and the second peak, with T s >T f , represents phase change from the two-phase mixture to the super-heated vapour.…”

Numerical simulation of complete liquid–vapour phase change process inside porous media using smoothing of diffusion coefficient

“…Evaluate coefficients and sources of the discretised energy equation from Eq. (33). Under-relax discretised equations and calculate the residue in the computational domain from Eq.…”

Transient two-phase flow and heat transfer with localized heating in porous media

“…A detailed description of this method can be found in the work of Patankar [28]. Voller and Swaminathan [27] developed a new scheme based on the local Kirchhoff transformation [31] which is mathematically expressed as (20) After some mathematical manipulations, the equivalent expressions of G(a) are [27] …”

“…Their results showed that the direction of the incoming fluid had great influence on both the flow field and temperature distribution. Najjari and Nasrallah [20,21] conducted several studies on the heat transfer in the conjugated domain with an open layer above the porous layer. The two-phase mixture model was used to treat the fluid flow and heat transfer in the porous layer.…”
