    A computational analysis on convective heat transfer for impinging slot nanojets onto a moving hot body
    (Emerald Publishing, 2022) Coşanay H.; F. Oztop H.; Selimefendigil F.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to perform computational analysis on the steady flow and heat transfer due to a slot nanojet impingement onto a heated moving body. The object is moving at constant speed and nanoparticle is included in the heat transfer fluid. The unsteady flow effects and interactions of multiple impinging jets are also considered. Design/methodology/approach: The finite volume method was used as the solver in the numerical simulation. The movement of the hot body in the channel is also considered. Influence of various pertinent parameters such as Reynolds number, jet to target surface spacing and solid nanoparticle volume fraction on the convective heat transfer characteristics are numerically studied in the transient regime. Findings: It is found that the flow field and heat transfer becomes very complicated due to the interaction of multiple impinging jets with the movement of the hot body in the channel. Higher heat transfer rates are achieved with higher values of Reynolds number while the inclusion of nanoparticles resulted in a small impact on flow friction. The middle jet was found to play an important role in the heat transfer behavior while jet and moving body temperatures become equal after t = 80. Originality/value: Even though some studies exist for the application of jet impingement heat transfer for a moving plate, the configuration with a solid moving hot body on a moving belt under the impacts of unsteady flow effects and interactions of multiple impinging jets have never been considered. The results of the present study will be helpful in the design and optimization of various systems related to convective drying of products, metal processing industry, thermal management in electronic cooling and many other systems. © 2021, Emerald Publishing Limited.

    Effects of İnclined Plate in a Channel to Control Melting of PCM in a Body İnserted on the Bottom Wall
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Öztop H.F.; Bakır E.; Selimefendigil F.; Gür M.; Coşanay H.
    A two-dimensional time-dependent computational analysis was carried out to examine the effects of inclined plate on melting time of Phase Change Material (PCM) filled square block on the bottom wall of a channel. Solution of the governing equations are performed by using finite volume method. The RT25HC material is chosen as PCM. The study is done for different parameters of inclination angle of the plate and Reynolds number. It is observed that the inclined plate can be used to control of melting time of PCM in a block as well as flow field and temperature distribution in the channel. Using of acceleration angle as θ = 110° accelerates the melting time of PCM inside the block. Thus, mass fraction rate increases 4 times with application of inclined thin plate. © 2022, The Society for Experimental Mechanics, Inc.
