  2. 1. Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Simulations for Complex Industrial Applications : From Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes towards Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

    Author : Md Lokman Hosain; Rebei Bel Fdhila; Konstantinos Kyprianidis; Erik Dahlquist; Hailong Li; Moncho Gomez Gesteira; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational Fluid Dynamics; Heat transfer; Industrial applications; Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes; Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics; Energy enginnering; Thermal Management; Process control; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Optimal process control can significantly enhance energy efficiency of heating and cooling processes in many industries. Process control systems typically rely on measurements and so called grey or black box models that are based mainly on empirical correlations, in which the transient characteristics and their influence on the control parameters are often ignored.

  7. 5. On Radiative Heat Transfer Modeling with Relevance for Combustor and Biomass Furnaces

    Author : Mehdi Bahador; Värmeöverföring; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; termodynamik; fluiddynamik; plasma; Thermal engineering; applied thermodynamics; Termisk teknik; plasmas; Gaser; Thermal Radiation; Scattering; Heat load; Gases; fluid dynamics; Biomass Furnaces; framdrivningssystem; Motorer; Motors and propulsion systems;

    Abstract : Thermal radiation sometimes is the dominating heat transfer mode in combustion chambers and furnaces and therefore in the design of many relevant industrial facilities prediction of it is necessary. During previous years many research efforts in the radiative heat transfer field have originated and many methods and models from simple to complex have been developed. READ MORE
