This paper discusses a numerical analysis of the heat and mass transfer characteristics in an autothermal methane reformer. Assuming local thermal equilibrium between the bulk gas and the surface of the catalyst, a one-medium approach for the porous medium analysis was incorporated. Also, the mass transfer between the bulk gas and the catalyst’s surface was neglected due to the relatively low gas velocity. For the catalytic surface reaction, the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model was incorporated in which methane (CH4) is reformed to hydrogen-rich gases by the autothermal reforming (ATR) reaction. Full combustion, steam reforming, water-gas shift, and direct steam reforming reactions were included in the chemical reaction model. Mass, momentum, energy, and species balance equations were simultaneously calculated with the chemical reactions for the multiphysics analysis. By varying the four operating conditions (inlet temperature, oxygen to carbon ratio (OCR), steam to carbon ratio, and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV)), the performance of the ATR reactor was estimated by the numerical calculations. The SR reaction rate was improved by an increased inlet temperature. The reforming efficiency and the fuel conversion reached their maximum values at an OCR of 0.7. When the GHSV was increased, the reforming efficiency increased but the large pressure drop may decrease the system efficiency. From these results, we can estimate the optimal operating conditions for the production of large amounts of hydrogen from methane.

This paper investigated performance characteristics analysis of catalytic combustion by utilizing 1-D models incorporated heat and mass transfer correlations. The 1-D numerical results were compared with 2-D models studies and experimental data. The performance characteristics were mainly the effects of operating conditions on methane conversion rate. The comparable analysis confirmed that 1-D model can success in predicting performance of catalytic combustion when empiric inter-phase heat and mass transfer correlations are used and appropriate operating conditions are chosen.

Quick and accurate analysis of cooling tower performance, outlet conditions of moist air, and parameter profiles along the tower height is very important in rating and design calculations. This paper developed an analytical model for the coupled heat and mass transfer processes in counterflow cooling towers based on operating conditions more realistic than most conventionally adopted Merkel approximations. In modeling, values of the Lewis factor were not necessarily specified as unity. Effects of water loss by evaporation and water film heat transfer resistance were also considered in the model equations. Within a relatively narrow range of operating conditions, the humidity ratio of air in equilibrium with the water surface was assumed to be a linear function of the surface temperature. The differential equations were rearranged and an analytical solution was developed for newly defined parameters. The analytical model predicts the tower performances, outlet conditions, and parameter profiles quickly and accurately when comparing with the numerical integration of the original differential equations.

This paper presents the development of a miniaturization technology for heat and mass exchangers used in absorption heat pumps. The exchanger consists of an array of parallel, aligned alternating shims with integral microscale features, enclosed between cover plates. These microscale features facilitate the flow of the various fluid streams and the associated heat and mass transfer. In an absorber application, effective vapor and solution contact and microscale features for the flow of both the solution and the coolant induce high heat and mass transfer rates without any active or passive surface enhancement. The geometry ensures even flow distribution with minimal overall pressure drops. A model of the coupled heat and mass transfer process for ammonia-water absorbers using this configuration under typical operating conditions demonstrates the potential for extremely small absorption components. The proposed concept is compact, modular, versatile, and in an eventual implementation, can be mass produced. Additionally, the same concept can be extended to the other absorption heat pump components as well as for several other industries involved in multicomponent fluid processes.

Seawater has been used for long time as a cooling fluid in heat exchangers to reduce fresh water usage in industry and power plants. The thermophysical properties of seawater are different from those of fresh water due to the salt content or salinity. This difference is sufficient to affect the heat and mass transfer processes which in turn change the thermal performance. Thermal design of fresh water cooling towers is described in detail in many textbooks and handbooks. However, only a rule of thumb is frequently used for designing of seawater cooling towers. This rule recommends degrading the tower performance by approximately 1% for every 10,000 ppm of salts in the feed water. In this paper, the thermal performance of seawater cooling towers is presented using a detailed model of counterflow wet cooling towers which takes into consideration the coupled simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes and uses state-of-the-art seawater properties from the literature. The model governing equations are solved numerically and the validity of this model is checked using new experimental data that has been measured using a bench top counterflow seawater cooling tower. The effect of the variation of seawater salinity as well as other operating conditions on the effectiveness and Merkel number is investigated.

Liquid desiccant air conditioning systems have recently been attracting attention due to their capability of handling the latent load without super-cooling and then reheating the air, as happens in a conventional compression-type air conditioning system. This paper presents the results from a study of the performance of an internally cooled liquid desiccant dehumidifier. A plate heat exchanger is proposed as the internally cooled element of the dehumidifier and water as the cooling fluid. The desiccant solution is sprayed into the internally cooled dehumidifier from the top and flows down by gravity. At the same time, fresh humid air is blown from the bottom or top, counter-flowing or co-flowing with the desiccant solution. The desiccant is in direct contact with the air, allowing for heat and mass transfer. The cooling water, flowing inside the plates of the dehumidifier, carries out the heat of the crossed air and solution. A heat and mass transfer theoretical model has been developed, based on the Runge-Kutta fixed step method, to predict the performance of the device under various operating conditions. Experimental data from previous literature have been used to validate the model. Excellent agreement has been found between experimental tests and the theoretical model, with the deviation not exceeding ±4.1% for outlet air temperature and ±4.0% for outlet humidity ratio. Following the validation of the mathematical model, the dominating effects on the absorption process have been discussed in detail. Namely, effects of flow configuration, air inlet temperature, humidity and flow rate, as well as desiccant inlet temperature, concentration and flow rate have been investigated against the dehumidification rate and the cooling efficiency. The two most commonly used liquid desiccant solutions, namely LiCl and LiBr have been also evaluated against each other. The results suggested that high dehumidification mass rate can be achieved under counter flow between air and solution, low air mass flow rates, low cooling water temperature, low desiccant temperature and LiCl as the desiccant solution.

Glued Laminated Timber

The main prerequisites for the development of wooden housing construction in Russia are given, which determined the goal of this study - to develop a mathematical model of heat and mass transfer (moisture transfer) in glued timber for rational design of enclosing structures. Lamellas can be classified as a capillary ‒ porous body. leaning on theory of academician A.V. Lykov, the formulation of the problem of heat and mass transfer in a multilayer glued laminated timber is presented a system of equations describing non-stationary heat, mass and pressure transfer under real possible operating conditions of enclosing structures is considered. An analytical method is proposed for calculating both individual lamellas and the entire multilayer glued beam. The proposed technique allows the method of solving the inverse problem to directly calculate the resistance value of the entire bar from the unsteady temperature field. The system of equations describing the process is nonlinear and analytically insoluble. To solve the problem, a combined method for solving boundary value problems of heat transfer was used, which is based on a combination of elements of analytical and numerical solutions. A feature of the problem under consideration is that the middle lamella has heat-conducting inclusions in the form of a bough. Method is that the entire heat transfer process is divided into a number of small time intervals. Within each interval, we assume that the temperature is constant at the interface between layers and a constant heat flux through the contacting surfaces, i.e. perfect thermal contact.
