Simulation Of Unsteady Heat And Mass Transport With Heatline And Massline In A Partially Heated Open Cavity

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

A computational work is performed to investigate the transient heat and mass transfer inside a ventilated enclosure. The enclosure has two ventilation ports as inlet and outlet. Three different configurations are tested according to location of outlet ports while location of inlet port is fixed. In case 1, the outlet port is located on the top of the left vertical wall, in case 2 at the right and case 3 at the middle of the ceiling. Finite element method is employed to solve the governing equations of flow, heat and mass transfer. Also, the heatline and massline techniques are used …

Buoyancy Induced Heat Transfer Deterioration In Vertical Concentric And Eccentric Annuli

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

Turbulent convection heat transfer of upward fluid flows in vertical annular channels with uniformly heated inner wall and adiabatic outer wall is investigated numerically. Two concentric geometries with outer-to-inner diameter ratios of 2.4 and 3 as well as two eccentric geometries with identical outer-toinner diameter ratio of 2.4 and eccentricities of 0.25 and 0.5 are investigated. Heat transfer deterioration, similar to that of a circular pipe, is observed. The range of buoyancy parameter, over which deterioration is observed, is close to that of circular pipes. Moreover, it is observed that when the value of eccentricity increases, the deterioration phenomenon becomes …

Guided Routing On Spinning Microfluidic Platforms

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

Flow directionality, valving and liquid routing in centrifugal microfluidics (Lab-on-CD) are typically controlled by applying centrifugal and Coriolis forces and have been the subject of active research interest in recent years. Determining and switching the flow direction at a T-junction is a common fluidic operation important for implementing several chemical and clinical assays for Lab-on-CDs. The present work describes a novel approach to route samples and control flow direction on a spinning disc that employs a guiding microstructure that relies on a two-stage valve comprised of an auxiliary inlet, which is a recess embedded at a T-junction, and a bent …

Eulerian-Lagrangian Analysis Of Solid Particle Distribution In An Internally Heated And Cooled Air-Filled Cavity

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

A parametric study has been conducted to investigate particle deposition on solid surfaces during free convection flow in an internally heated and cooled square cavity filled with air. The cavity walls are insulated while several pairs of heaters and coolers (HACs) inside the cavity lead to free convection flow. The HACs are assumed to be isothermal heat source and sinks with temperatures T-h and T-c (T-h > T-c). The problem is numerically investigated using the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. Two-dimensional Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved using finite volume discretization method. Applying the Lagrangian approach, 5000 particles, distributed randomly in the enclosure, were …

Effects Of Reflow On The Interfacial Characteristics Between Zn Nanoparticles Containing Sn-3.8ag-0.7cu Solder And Copper Substrate

A.S. Md Abdul Haseeb

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of zinc (Zn) nanoparticles on the interfacial intermetallic compounds (IMCs) between Sn-3.8Ag-0.7Cu (SAC) solder and Cu substrate during multiple reflow. Design/methodology/approach - The nanocomposite solders were prepared by manually mixing of SAC solder paste with varying amounts of Zn nanoparticles. The solder pastes were reflowed on a hotplate at 250 C for 45 s for up to six times. The actual Zn content after reflow was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The wetting behavior of the solders was characterized by analyzing the contact angles and …
