Publication Numerical simulation of flow boiling from an artificial cavity in a microchannel(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2016) Jafari, Rahim; Okutucu-Ozyurt, Tuba; Jafari, Rahim; Middle East Technical University; Turkish Aeronautical Association; Turk Hava Kurumu UniversityCahn Hilliard phase-field method is used to numerically simulate subcooled water boiling in which nucleation occurs from an artificial cavity on the inner surface of a microchannel. The boiling initiates from a cavity and the growth and departure of the nucleated bubbles from the cavity are simulated. The velocity, temperature and pressure distributions inside the microchannel have been analyzed. The bubble generation frequency increases by increasing inlet mass flux. For this case of study, the rising trend continues up to the mass flux of 64 kg/m(2) s. Further increase in the inlet mass flux does not accelerate the bubble formation. The radius and the shape of the generated bubble compared well with experimental data available in the literature. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Thermal performance of the frictional region parts, disc and pads, necessitates to evaluate precisely in the design and test steps. In this study, a brake test setup was designed and fabricated with exactly the same braking components used in a common passenger vehicle as disc, pads, rim, tire, and dust shield to simulate the sequential braking. The local temperature on the disc and pads and the brake fluid pressure were measured. In addition, a three dimensional numerical model was designed to simulate the aerodynamics and thermal performance of the braking in detail. Finite element method was employed to simulate the frictional heat between the brake disc and the pads. The results showed that although the velocity of mainstream airflow reduces significantly into the rim, turbulent flow develops in the form of eddies of swirling airflow. Additionally, transient temperature distribution on the braking components was predicted. The cooling vanes in the brake disc have considerably enhanced the convection heat transfer. The amount of convective heat transfer on the inner radial vanes was more than 58% of the total amount of convective heat transfer.Publication Investigation of the effectiveness of PCM on the energy saving, thermal comfort and indoor air quality in overcrowded area(Elsevier BV, 2023-11) Fadhil A.M.K.
