[ 1 ] - Numerical Simulation of Non-Uniform Gas Diffusion Layer Porosity Effect on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Performance
Gas diffusion layers are essential components of proton exchange membrane fuel cell since the reactants should pass through these layers. Mass transport in these layers is highly dependent on porosity. Many of simulations have assumed, for simplicity, the porosity of GDL is constant, but in practice, there is a considerable variation in porosity along gas diffusion layers. In the present study ...
[ 2 ] - Measurement of Heat Characteristics of a New Incubator with a Chemical Energy Source
A heat transfer model was developed for a new non-electric infant’s transport incubator. The source of heat comprises a super saturated solution of Sodium Acetate and a metal disk (activator) in a plastic container. Estimating the number of the chemical bags required for different ambient temperature was the goal. First the quantity of heat generated by the chemical was appointed through experi...
[ 3 ] - Development of a Moving Finite Element-Based Inverse Heat Conduction Method for Determination of Moving Surface Temperature
A moving finite element-based inverse method for determining the temperature on a moving surface is developed. The moving mesh is generated employing the transfinite mapping technique. The proposed algorithms are used in the estimation of surface temperature on a moving boundary with high velocity in the burning process of a homogenous low thermal diffusivity solid fuel. The measurements obtain...
[ 4 ] - A 2-D Numerical Investigation on the Modal Characteristics of Rotating-Stall with a Variable-Cascade- Length Approach in an Axial Compressor
The Rotating-Stall (RS) through a rotor-cascade of an axial compressor were numerically investigated with an unsteady two-dimensional finite-volume density based computer code. To validate the computer code, a test case was prepared and the good agreement of the compared results has given the adequate assurance of the code. The RS was incepted with a 40% reduction in flow coefficient and a 0.4%...
[ 5 ] - Numerical Investigation on Compressible Flow Characteristics in Axial Compressors Using a Multi Block Finite Volume Scheme
An unsteady two-dimensional numerical investigation was performed on the viscous flow passing through a multi-blade cascade. A Cartesian finite-volume approach was employed and it was linked to Van-Leer's and Roe's flux splitting schemes to evaluate inviscid flux terms. To prevent the oscillatory behavior of numerical results and to increase the accuracy, Monotonic Upstream Scheme for Conservat...
