Unsteady Mixed Convection In A Porous Media Filled Lid-Driven Cavity Heated By A Semi-Circular Heaters, Saad Mekhilef

Saad Mekhilef

A computational study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer and fluid flow in a porous media filled enclosure with semi-circular heaters by using finite element method. The ceiling of the cavity moves with a constant velocity and it is insulated. Temperature of vertical walls is lower than that of heaters. Results are presented via streamlines, isotherms, average Nusselt numbers and cross sectional velocity for different governing parameters such as Richardson number, Darcy number and dimensionless time. It is observed that both circulation of the flow and heat transfer is strongly affected with time increment and Darcy number inside …

Unsteady Natural Convection In Al2o3–Water Nanoliquid Filled In Isosceles Triangular Enclosure With Sinusoidal Thermal Boundary Condition On Bottom Wall, Saad Mekhilef

Saad Mekhilef

Unsteady natural convection heat transfer in an isosceles triangular enclosure filled with Al2O3 nanoparticle is studied by using finite element method. The bottom of the isosceles triangular cavity is heated non-uniformly and temperature of the inclined wall is lower than that of the bottom wall. The governing parameters are Rayleigh number, solid volume fraction, aspect ratio (H/L) of the enclosure and dimensionless-time. It is found that addition of the nanoparticle into base fluid (water) affects both heat transfer and fluid flow. Heat transfer increases with addition of nanoparticle and increasing of Rayleigh number. Conduction mode of heat transfer becomes dominant …

A Sensitivity Analysis Toolkit For The Simplification Of Mv Distribution Network Voltage Management, Fabian Tamp, Philip Ciufo

Dr Philip Ciufo

As distribution networks become increasingly variable and generation becomes increasingly decentralised, voltage standards are becoming more liable to violation. Accordingly, intelligent voltage management strategies are required to enable standards compliance without unduly increasing network maintenance or infrastructure costs. The relationship between network power and voltages, however, is complex, non-linear and interdependent, and thus is difficult to conceptualise and use for decision-making and control purposes.

This paper introduces a software toolkit that simplifies the development of voltage management strategies by the applica- tion of sensitivity analysis. Sensitivity analysis reduces complex network P – Q – |V | relationships to simple linear …
