The results of our work and a number of foreign studies indicate that the sharp increase in the heat transfer parameters (specific heat flux q and heat transfer coefficient _) at the boiling of nanofluids as compared to the base liquid (water) is due not only and not so much to the increase of the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids, but an intensification of the boiling process caused by a change in the state of the heating surface, its topological and chemical properties (porosity, roughness, wettability). The latter leads to a change in the internal characteristics of the boiling process and the average temperature of the superheated liquid layer. This circumstance makes it possible, on the basis of physical models of the liquids boiling and taking into account the parameters of the surface state (temperature, pressure) and properties of the coolant (the density and heat capacity of the liquid, the specific heat of vaporization and the heat capacity of the vapor), and also the internal characteristics of the boiling of liquids, to calculate the value of specific heat flux q. In this paper, the difference in the mechanisms of heat transfer during the boiling of single-phase (water) and two-phase nanofluids has been studied and a quantitative estimate of the q values for the boiling of the nanofluid is carried out based on the internal characteristics of the boiling process. The satisfactory agreement of the calculated values with the experimental data is a confirmation that the key factor in the growth of the heat transfer intensity at the boiling of nanofluids is indeed a change in the nature and microrelief of the heating surface.

The NaCaA-85 zeolite sample which works as an efficient adsorbent for CO2 at RT and in low pressure range was found and its specificity is nicely explained by the model composed of CO2 pinned by two types of Ca2+ ions through far-IR and DFT studies.

AbstractIt is intended to model mathematically an ideal whirlwind which characterises this geo-physical phenomenon and eventually helps us decode the inherent dynamics. A dense cylindrical aerial mass is taken into consideration surrounding a rarer aerial region in order to keep a radial favourable gradient of pressure to sustain a rotational motion. It has been concluded that the whirlwind will survive as long as the low pressure region exists. The vertical pressure gradient also plays an equally important role. Since it is not connected to any cloud and the axial velocity is in the vertically upward direction, the momentary vertical gradient of pressure is required for its growth and survival. Horizontal ambient winds that rush towards low pressure zone, crush the air in the buffer zone, and turn vertically upward may also take the dust carried with them visibly to some height. It is considered that the angular azimuthal velocity varies within the annulus. An inference is that no whirlwind without a low pressure region within it can survive. This may be termed as the fundamental characteristic of whirlwind. It is further concluded that if the radial pressure difference between the outermost and innermost layers is larger, the whirlwind is thicker and consequently, it will last longer. Moreover, another conclusion arrived at is that the angular velocity will vanish if the inner radius is zero.

Abstract High Knudsen (Kn) number flows are found in vacuum and micro-scale systems. Such flows are characterized by non-continuum behavior. For gases, the flows are usually in the slip or transition regimes. In this paper, the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method has been applied to compute low pressure, high Kn flow fields in partially heated channels. Computations were carried out for nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, oxygen and noble gas mixtures. Variation of the Kn is obtained by reducing the pressure while keeping the channel width constant. Nonlinear pressure profiles along the channel centerline are observed. Heat transfer from the channel walls is also calculated and compared with the Graetz solution. The effects of varying pressure, inlet flow and gas transport properties (Kn, Reynolds number, Re and the Prandtl number, Pr respectively) on the wall heat transfer (Nu) were examined. A simplified correlation for predicting Nu¯ as a function of Pe¯ and Kn¯ is presented.

The hot flushing is a major means of removing wax. For low pressure reservoir, it is possible to produce a large number of washing fluid flowing into the formation, which affects the well production recovery. The application of hollow sucker rod hot flushing technology can avoid fluid pouring back into the formation, and the wells can keep production. Based on the principle of hollow sucker rod hot flushing and heat transfer theory, calculation model of temperature field was established, and hollow sucker rod hot flushing simulation system was developed, which can guide flushing in oilfield.

The three-dimensional two-fluid model analysis code ACE-3D is developed in Japan Atomic Energy Agency for the thermal design procedure on two-phase flow thermal-hydraulics of light water-cooled reactors. In order to perform thermal hydraulic analysis of SCWR, ACE-3D is enhanced to supercritical pressure region. As a result, it is confirmed that transient change in subcritical and supercritical pressure region can be simulated smoothly using ACE-3D, that ACE-3D can predict the results of the past heat transfer experiment in the supercritical pressure condition, and that introduction of thermal conductivity effect of the wall restrains fluctuation of wall.
