The kinetics of the liquid-like → solid-like 2D phase transition of adenine adsorbed at the Hg/aqueous solution interface is studied. Attention is focused on the effect of temperature on the rate of phase change; an increase in temperature is found to cause a decrease of transition rate.

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumping is associated with the heterocharge layers of finite thickness in the vicinity of the electrodes, generated by the process of dissociation of the neutral electrolytic species and recombination of the generated ions. This paper numerically investigates the EHD conduction pumping of a thin liquid film in the presence of phase change. The flow system comprises a liquid film flowing over a two-dimensional flat plate while the vapor phase extended far beyond the interface to result in almost motionless vapor. The channel is separated into four different sections: the entrance, electrode, evaporation, and downstream sections. The entrance, electrode and downstream regions are adiabatic while a constant heat flux is applied in the evaporation side. The concept of EHD conduction pumping of liquid film in the presence of phase change is demonstrated in this paper. The enhanced heat transfer due to conduction pumping is evaluated.

The problem of a planar solidification of a material with an additional nonstationary radiant of heat on a semi-infinite plane has been solved. For a solution the condition of Stefan was used. Results have been compared with an analytical solution in case of the absence of an additional radiant of heat, as well as with a solution obtained by perturbations method. A more complicated two-dimensional nonstationary problem of a solidification of a liquid with interface free-boundary has been also solved. The purpose of this problem solution is to predict position of a material phase boundary, as well as the temperature distribution in a layer of PCM (Phase-Change Material) with boundary conditions of Dirichlet.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to carry out a finite element simulation of a physically non-linear phase change problem in a two-dimensional space without adaptive remeshing or moving-mesh algorithms. The extended finite element method (XFEM) and the level set method (LSM) were used to capture the transient solution and motion of phase boundaries. It was crucial to consider the effects of unequal densities of the solid and liquid phases and the flow in the liquid region. Design/methodology/approach – The XFEM and the LSM are applied to solve non-linear transient problems with a phase change in a two-dimensional space. The model assumes thermo-dependent properties of the material and unequal densities of the phases; it also allows for convection in the liquid phase. A non-linear system of equations is derived and a numerical solution is proposed. The Newton-Raphson method is used to solve the problem and the LSM is applied to track the interface. Findings – The robustness and utility of the method are demonstrated on several two-dimensional benchmark problems. Originality/value – The novel procedure based on the XFEM and the LSM was developed to solve physically non-linear phase change problems with unequal densities of phases in a two-dimensional space.

The Solar Dynamic Power Module being developed for Space Station Freedom uses a eutectic mixture of LiF-CaF2 phase-change salt contained in toroidal canisters for thermal energy storage. This paper presents results from heat transfer analyses of the phase-change salt containment canister. A two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite difference computer program which models the canister walls, salt, void, and heat engine working fluid coolant was developed. Analyses included effects of conduction in canister walls and solid salt, conduction and free convection in liquid salt, conduction and radiation across salt vapor-filled void regions, and forced convection in the heat engine working fluid. Void shape and location were prescribed based on engineering judgment. The salt phase-change process was modeled using the enthalpy method. Discussion of results focuses on the role of free convection in the liquid salt on canister heat transfer performance. This role is shown to be important for interpreting the relationship between ground-based canister performance (in 1-g) and expected on-orbit performance (in micro-g). Attention is also focused on the influence of void heat transfer on canister wall temperature distributions. The large thermal resistance of void regions is shown to accentuate canister hot spots and temperature gradients.

Thermal energy storage units that utilize phase change materials have been widely employed to balance temporary temperature alternations and store energy in many engineering systems. In the present paper, an operational approach is proposed to the Tau method with standard polynomial bases to simulate the phase change problems in latent heat thermal storage systems, that is, the two-dimensional solidification process in rectangular finned storage with a constant end-wall temperature. In order to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the present method, the solid-liquid interface location and the temperature distribution of the fin for three test cases with different geometries are obtained and compared to simplified analytical results in the published literature. The results indicate that using a two-dimensional numerical approach can predict the solid-liquid interface location more accurately than the simplified analytical model in all cases, especially at the corners.
