A steady-state model of a conventional floating ring bearing is presented, specifically, to assess the feasibility of its use in the power generating industry. It necessitates the numerical solution of the Reynolds and energy equations for both inner and outer lubricant films. Oil recirculation and heat and mass transfer between the films are included. For the application considered, the oil temperatures and eccentricity ratios encountered are not excessive.

A heuristic “pseudo-steady-state” model of the heat and mass transfer occurring in desiccant dehumidifiers, embodied in the program DESSIM, has been proposed as a conceptually and numerically simple analysis tool (Barlow, 1982). A comparison is made with a finite difference solution to determine the accuracy and limitations of the pseudo-steady-state model. The comparison indicates that the pseudo-steady-state model can produce accurate results of dehumidifier performance relative to the finite difference solution when used carefully, although at greater computational expense. Substitution of the finite difference solution into the overall DESSIM program results in a potentially accurate and useful analysis tool.

The coupled thermo-flowing 3D steady-state model of friction stir welding model is established based on fluid mechanics. With analyzing the impact of pin shoulder and pin on heat producing, the model considers the influence of pin on the heat producing processing. The model applies viscoplastic constitutive equations to describe the material, and turbulence model to simulate the material flowing behavior. With the additional turbulence kinetic energy equations and flow boundary condition equations, the model is established. With Comsol Multiphysics finite analysis software, a process simulation was carried out, and the results reflect that the model can reveal the steady state characteristics of thermo and material flowing behavior of friction stir welding.

A steady-state model coupling mass transfer across cell and fiber membranes is theoretically developed to investigate the removal process of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) from cryopreserved blood with hollow fiber modules, and then CPA concentration variation and cell volume response are studied.

The problem of volumetric thermal action on a moist porous medium is considered. Numerical solution, the influence of fluid mobility on the dynamics of the heat and mass transfer process is analyzed. It is established that fluid mobility leads to a softer drying regime. It is shown that in low-permeability media, the fluid can be assumed to be stationary.
