Numerical investigation of conjugated heat transfer in a channel with a moving depositing front

Abstract

This article presents numerical simulations of conjugated heat transfer in a fouled channel with a moving depositing front. The depositing front separating the fluid and the deposit layer is captured using the level-set method.

Conjugate heat transfer in stratified two-fluid flows with a growing deposit layer

“…Similar framework although without heat transfer has been implemented earlier for particle deposition in single- [25] and two-fluid [26] flow environment. Conjugate heat transfer in single-fluid flow environment has also been demonstrated [27]. The objective of the present work is to develop a conjugate heat transfer model in a stratified two-fluid system.…”

“…The objective of the present work is to develop a conjugate heat transfer model in a stratified two-fluid system. The current framework is more generic in the sense that it can be applied to a wide range applications compared with that of conjugate heat transfer in single-fluid flow system [27]. With the model developed in this paper, the effects of inlet velocity ratio, Damköhler number and thermal conductivity ratio on the flow, deposition as well as heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number at lower wall and upper wall are investigated.…”
