in this work a numerical study of thermal and fluid dynamics behavior of natural air convection in a square cavity in a laminar flow is presented, by finite volume method. the square cavity has two walls heated with different temperatures and two isolated walls. the numerical simulation is made up of several rayleigh numbers to . flow and isotherm lines are presented and analyzed. the numerical...

unglazed transpired solar collectors are widely used for heating outside air directly, these days. pre-heating ventilation air for large spaces and heating air for crop drying, are some of the applications of these kinds of collectors. the outside air is drawn straight from ambient, uniformly through the whole surface of a perforated absorber (transpired, dark-colored plate) exposed to the sun....

three activated carbons are synthesized in a rotary reactor at different activation times. the adsorption isotherms of the samples are measured the pore size distribution of the samples is determined using combined saito and foley method, bjh method. an average potential function has been determined inside the cylindrical pores. the effect of activation time on the pore size distribution sample...

We present a hybrid finite-volume-particle numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the oneand two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work [Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)],...
