EFFECT OF THE FILL VENTILATION WINDOW ON PERFORMANCE OF A NATURAL DRAFT COOLING TOWER SUBJECTED TO CROSS-WINDS by K. V. Dobrego

“…The analogy (equivalence) between the heat and mass transfer was taken into consideration, which enabled us to consider single-phase flow and perform complicated 3D simulation by using modern personal computers. Heat transfer coefficient for the fill and its hydrodynamic resistance were defined by using actual data on total flow rate in the cooling tower. …”

Properties and Developments of Combustion and Gasification of Coal and Char in a CO2-Rich and Recycled Flue Gases Atmosphere by Rapid Heating by Zhigang Li, Xiaoming Zhang, Yuichi Sugai, Jiren Wang, Kyuro Sasaki

“…The laser heating makes a more ideal experimental condition compared with previous studies with a TG-DTA, because it is able to minimize effects of coal oxidation and combustion by rapid heating process like radiative heat transfer condition. The experimental results indicated that coal weight reduction ratio to gases followed the Arrhenius equation with increasing coal temperature; further which were increased around 5% with adding H2O in CO2-rich atmosphere. …”

Controlling injection conditions of a deep coaxial closed well heat exchanger to meet irregular heat demands: a field case study in Belgium (Mol) by Vlasios Leontidis, Edgar Hernandez, Justin Pogacnik, Magnus Wangen, Virginie Harcouët-Menou

“…The simulations showed that continuous adjustments to the injection temperature and/or flow rate are needed to restrict the rapid drop in outlet temperature and consequent thermal depletion of the rocks, caused by the highly transient nature of the diffusive heat transfer from the rocks to the wellbore, as well as to supply a specific heat demand, constant or irregular, over the long term. …”
