The influence of control vanes on pneumatic conveying of pulverised fuel at a trifurcator (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Distribution of pulverised fuels in pneumatic conveying to conventional boilers is an ongoing research area with the intention of improving the performance of power-generating plants. One of the major challenges is the issue of o... Read More about The influence of control vanes on pneumatic conveying of pulverised fuel at a trifurcator.

Thermo-physical properties of the nano-binary fluid (acetone–zinc bromide-ZnO) as a low temperature operating fluid for use in an absorption refrigeration machine (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. The current technical note is an expression for extending aspects of the previous work of Ajib and Karno [1] which related to the thermophysical properties of acetone / ZnBr2. The study c...

Discharge of a composite metal foam/phase change material to air heat exchanger for a domestic thermal storage unit (2019)
Journal Article

This paper evaluates the discharging mechanism in a PCM (phase change material) to air heat exchanger for the purpose of space heating using a composite of copper foam and PCM. The composite system is modelled with both 2-D and 3-D computational flui...

Numerical study of a multiple-segment metal foam-PCM latent heat storage unit: Effect of porosity, pore density and location of heat source (2019)
Journal Article

This study numerically investigates the performance of the melting process for a PCM based heat storage system under the effect of different variables in a vertical container with a copper metal foam. Different cases were studied and compared includi...

Numerical modelling of phase change material melting process embedded in porous media: Effect of heat storage size (2019)
Journal Article

The aim of this paper is to study the influence of enclosure size in latent heat thermal energy storage systems embedded in a porous medium for domestic usage of latent heat thermal energy storage heat exchangers. A 2-D rectangular enclosure is consi... Read More about Numerical modelling of phase change material melting process embedded in porous media: Effect of heat storage size.

CFD multiphase modelling of the acetone condensation and evaporation process in a horizontal circular tube (2019)
Journal Article

With increasing demands on energy efficiency, the use of low grade waste heat using vapour absorption refrigeration systems (VARS) are receiving renewed interest. One idea is to use the combination of acetone and zinc bromide as the salt solution, wh...
