Analysis of Radiative Effect under Local Thermal Non-equilibrium Conditions in Porous Media-application to a Solar Air Receiver
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of thermal radiation within a porous medium while incorporating local thermal nonequilibrium (LTNE) is investigated in this work, with specific application to solar air receivers. It is shown that the radiation effect is significant. The temperature distributions for both solid and fluid phases are affected by conduction-radiation parameter N, the ratio of solid to fluid phase conductivities f, and the interphase convection parameter H. The limiting interactions between conduction and thermal radiation incorporating convection are revealed. The impact of conduction and convection versus radiation is systematically analyzed in this work and displayed through a number of contour maps.

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...
