Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...

in this paper, construction of triplet atmospheric plasma jet using argon, air, oxygen and nitrogen gases is reported. bactericidal effect of the plasma jet is also investigated. to that end, longitudinal geometric configuration for the electrodes was chosen because it would increase the jet length. electrical characteristics, jet length dependencies on the applied voltage and gas flow rate wer...

The flow and heat transfer in two planar impinging jets are investigated using Large-Eddy simulation and experiments. The jet Reynolds number based on nozzle width and centerline velocity is 500. Predictions are obtained of unforced jets in addition to forced cases in which periodic injection and suction is applied at the nozzle exit of each jet. The goal of the current effort is to characteriz...

BACKGROUND Heat transfer enhancement technology concerns with the aim of developing more efficient systems to satisfy the increasing demands of many applications in the fields of automotive, aerospace, electronic and process industry. A solution for obtaining efficient cooling systems is represented by the use of confined or unconfined impinging jets. Moreover, the possibility of increasing the...

The concept for a muon-production system for a muon collider or neutrino factory calls for an intense 4-MW-class proton beam impinging upon a free-flowing mercury jet immersed in a 20-T solenoid field. This system is challenging in many aspects, including magnetohydrodynamics of the mercury jet subject to disruption by the proton beam, strong intermagnetic forces, and the intense thermal loads ...

introduction iran is a frontier of pomegranate fruit production in the world (with almost 40 % of the world`s production). however due to traditional processing operations is not ranked as the largest pomegranate exporter. saveh, neyriz and ferdows are the top pomegranate producing cities in iran. pomegranate is consumed as a fresh fruit as well as processed product as food additive, paste, syr...

Air curtains (ACs) are plane turbulent impinging jets that used to separate two environments in terms of heat and mass transfer while still allowing traffic between these environments. The many applications ACs across a wide variety industries makes the evaluation their performance an important but difficult task. aim this paper is introduce indicator, called adapted separation efficiency, suit...

Impinging jets are used in various in cooling and drying technique. The current research the means of improving the heat transfer for con minimum distance of the nozzle to the impingem impingement heat transfer is described using nume a wide range of parameters for an array of p parameters include varying jet flow speed, width o of nozzle, angle of the jet flow, velocity and impingement surface...
