Abstract In a fuel cell vehicle, the water content of the gas supply within certain ranges plays a key role in improving the performance of a proton exchange membrane. The lower limit of water content in the air supply is to avoid the problem of drying-out, while the upper prevents flooding. Water management can be accomplished by a membrane humidifier which allows water vapor to permeate the mixture from the side having the higher water concentration, moving to the other side of the membrane. In this study, the variation in water content collected at the outlet of a membrane humidifier is investigated with a one-dimensional mass exchanger model and various operating variables. The vapor concentration of outlet flows is affected by operating temperature and relative humidity of the membrane humidifier. Relative humidity of the dry side at the point of outlet flow, to be supplied to the fuel cell module, is the key characteristic. The analogy of the effectiveness-NTU approach for heat transfer is used to analyze the characteristics of the mass exchanger. Mass flux through the membranes is estimated with an overall mass transfer coefficient which represents vapor transport characteristics moving through the membrane module. This coefficient has a similar role to the overall heat transfer coefficient in heat exchanger analysis. This parametric study is conducted to understand the effects of different variables. The Effectiveness-NTU methodology of mass transfer uses the overall mass transfer coefficient and the mass transfer rate, as evaluated experimentally. Simulink software is then employed to deliver outcomes of the model for different operating conditions.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the effect of Dufour and Soret diffusions on Al2O3-water nanofluid flow over a moving thin needle by using the Tiwari and Das model. Design/methodology/approach The governing equations are reduced to the similarity equations using similarity transformations. The resulting equations are programmed in Matlab software through the bvp4c solver to obtain their solutions. The features of the skin friction, heat transfer and mass transfer coefficients, as well as the velocity, temperature and concentration profiles for different values of the physical parameters, are analysed and discussed. Findings The non-uniqueness of the solutions is observed for a certain range of the physical parameters. The authors also notice that the bifurcation of the solutions occurs in which the needle moves toward the origin (λ < 0). It is discovered that the first branch solutions of the skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer coefficients increase, but the mass transfer coefficient decreases in the presence of nanoparticle. Additionally, the simultaneous effect of Dufour and Soret diffusions tends to enhance the heat transfer coefficient; however, dual behaviours are observed for the mass transfer coefficient. Further analysis shows that between the two solutions, only one of them is stable and thus physically reliable in the long run. Originality/value The problem of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow over a moving thin needle with Dufour and Soret effects are the important originality of the present study. Besides, the temporal stability of the dual solutions is examined for time.

Sublimation Technique

The dependence of heat transfer on film cooling near the leading edge of a blade was investigated using the naphthalene sublimation technique and applying the analogy between heat and mass transfer. Therefore, the local sublimation rate with and without film cooling was measured. The symmetric leading edge was cooled by an air mass flow out of two staggered rows of holes. The measurements were carried out with a constant Reynolds number Re = 80000, different incidence angles φ = 0° to 10° and a blowing rate varying from M = 0.3 to 2.5. The flow without film cooling was visualized around the leading edge with smoke to indicate the existence of separation bubbles. To determine the dependence of incidence angle and blowing rate on jet trajectories, smoke was mixed to the cooling air. The mass transfer coefficient was determined with the naphthalene sublimation technique. Due to the high resolution of the sublimation technique the local mass transfer distribution around the cooling holes could also be measured. Furthermore, the location of stagnation points and separation bubbles were investigated. The results of the tests without film cooling were also compared with those obtained by observing stagnation point mass transfer on a cylinder and with those by laminar flow across a flat plate. The mass transfer coefficient of film cooling experiments was related to the mass transfer coefficient without film cooling to describe the local dependence of heat transfer coefficient on film cooling. An increase on relativ heat transfer near the film cooling holes is obtained by increasing the blowing rate. No further influence on heat transfer along the pressure side is detected for an incidence angle larger than 10° as the cooling films were shifted around the leading edge from the pressure to the suction side.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

The inverse problem of using temperature measurements to estimate the moisture content and temperature-dependent moisture diffusivity together with the heat and mass transfer coefficients is analyzed in this paper. In the convective drying practice, usually the mass transfer Biot number is very high and the heat transfer Biot number is very small. This leads to a very small temperature sensitivity coefficient with respect to the mass transfer coefficient when compared to the temperature sensitivity coefficient with respect to the heat transfer coefficient. Under these conditions the relative error of the estimated mass transfer coefficient is high. To overcome this problem, in this paper the mass transfer coefficient is related to the heat transfer coefficient through the analogy between the heat and mass transfer processes in the boundary layer. The resulting parameter estimation problem is then solved by using a hybrid constrained optimization algorithm OPTRAN.

The Heat Transfer Coefficient

Purpose of research. is to investigate the degree of augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of a heat transfer medium in contact with a "spot" of liquid on the surface of the vortex blade when it is bombarded with dispersed contaminants in a vortex heat exchanger in order to identify a pattern that allows obtaining design values of the heat transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium that have the best agreement with the experimental values provided in previously published articles [4, 6, 7].Methods. A complex analysis of the degree of augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium on the surface of the vortex blade in a vortex heat exchanger based on the known theoretical positions and equations of heat and mass transfer processes.Results. The dependence of the augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium in contact with the "spot" of liquid on the surface of the vortex blade when it is bombarded with dispersed contaminants was obtained, which allows obtaining the best agreement of the design and experimental values of the heat transfer coefficient in the vortex heat exchanger of a gas pressure regulating and metering station.Conclusion. The values of the heat transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium calculated using the obtained dependence of the augmentation of the mass transfer coefficient of the heat transfer medium have a satisfactory convergence with the experimental data, which allows us to use this dependence in engineering calculations of the design parameters of the vortex heat exchanger used as a heat exchanger for the heating system of the working area of the gas pressure regulating and metering station. This technical solution allows not only saving natural gas as a source of heat generation, but also reducing the negative impact on the environment, since there is no need to burn natural gas. In this case, the production of thermal energy is carried out due to a regulated pressure drop of natural gas coming from the main line to consumers.

The mass-transfer coefficient in the neighborhood of a row of jets entering a cross flow is determined by measuring the local sublimation rate from a naphthalene surface. This mass transfer relates directly to the heat transfer that would occur on a film-cooled wall. The experiments indicate that jets significantly increase the transfer coefficient in the neighborhood of the holes through which the jets emanate—in particular, immediately adjacent to the holes and also some distance downstream of the centerlines of the holes.
