Prediction of the Hitec Molten Salt Convective Heat Transfer Performance Using Artificial Neural Networks

Hitec molten salt is a ternary eutectic mixture salt that is used as an energy storage medium in concentrated solar power plants to improve the system performance and reduce the operational cost. Thus, the heat transfer performance represented in Nusselt number has been investigated numerically under different inlet temperature and velocity conditions with constant uniform side heat flux. Also

Numerical investigation of hematocrit variation effect on blood flow in an arterial segment with variable stenosis degree

Numerical simulations of blood flow in arteries are important in the understanding and diagnosis of many cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and arterial stenosis. More realistic mathematical models representing blood rheology offer a better understanding of these diseases. In this study, blood is considered an Oldroyd-B fluid with a shear-thinning property and a shear rate-dependent

Design of a Schlieren System for Visualization of Heat and Mass Transfer

In this contribution, a simple yet effective design for Schlieren photography system is described and implemented. The proposed system is used in the visualization of both heat and mass transfer phenomena. Refractive index gradient is created by a lighter to study mass transfer, then the lighter is ignited to create temperature gradient. Results show the ability of the proposed system in capturing

Numerical simulation of blood flow in abdominal aortic aneurysms: Effects of blood shear-thinning and viscoelastic properties

In this study numerical simulation of blood flow in abdominal aortic aneurysms is presented. The novelty in this study is the consideration of the blood viscoelastic properties to account for the presence of red blood cells in addition to the shear-thinning behavior. The Oldroyd-B model is used to account for the viscoelasticity while the Carreau–Yasuda model is used to represent the shear

Numerical simulation of Oldroyd-B fluid with application to hemodynamics

Oldroyd-B viscoelastic fluid is numerically simulated using the stabilized Galerkin least squares finite element method. The instabilities due to the connective nature of the Oldroyd-B model is treated using the discrete viscous elastic split stress method. The model is used to study the behavior of the flow of blood through an abdominal aortic segment. The results show that the viscoelastic

Finite element analysis of pulsatile blood flow in elastic artery

New hybrid Eulerian/Lagrangian model is presented accounting for the two-way coupling between the pulsating blood flow and the artery deformability. The Streamline-Upwind/Petrove--Galerkin (SUPG) finite element technique is used to treat for the convective nature of the momentum equation. The deformability of the artery walls is accounted for by treating the wall as an elastic beam under

Flapping Micro Air Vehicle: Numerical Analysis

Abstract Due to the intricate aerodynamics of flapping micro air vehicles (FMAVs), numerical analysis plays a crucial role. These simulations predict the aerodynamics performance before building prototypes, saving valuable time and resources. By analysing the flapping wing's interaction with air, numerical analysis helps engineers optimize FMAV designs for specific tasks like search and rescue or
