Thermal recovery from a fractured medium in local thermal non-equilibrium

Modelling Bidispersive Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium Flow

In this work, we present a system of equations which describes non-isothermal flow in a bidispersive porous medium under conditions of local thermal non-equilibrium. The porous medium consists of macro pores, and in the solid skeleton are cracks or fissures which give rise to micro pores. The temperatures in the solid skeleton and in the fluids in the macro and micro pores are all allowed to be...

Slip flow in porous micro-tubes under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions

In the present work, forced convection heat transfer of slip flow in porous micro-tubes with local thermal non-equilibrium between the gas and the solid matrix is investigated numerically. For this purpose, the flow is considered hydrodynamically developed but thermally developing. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model in conjunction with separate energy equations for the gas and the solid matri...

Non-equilibrium Thermal Effects in Power Transistors

This work addresses electro-thermal simulation of LDMOS devices and associated non-equilibrium effects. Simulations have been performed on three kinds of LDMOS i.e. bulk Si, partial SOI and SOI, with a view to compare the extent of non-equilibrium in each. Phonon temperature contours and electron energies were analyzed in each case. The results indicate that, under similar operating conditions,...

Thermal Fluctuations in Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Thermal fluctuations in fluids and fluid mixtures in stationary nonequilibrium states are spatially long ranged. This long-ranged nature of the non-equilibrium fluctuations is caused by a coupling between hydrodynamic modes through the non-equilibrium fluxes or gradients. The phenomena are discussed with some illustrative examples in fluids and fluid mixtures.
