Wang, Jianyong (author), Yang, Jun (author), Gong, Jishuang (author), Zhao, Chunrong (author), Hooman, K. (author)Supercritical flow through a horizontal pipe leads to a non-uniform peripheral wall temperature distribution even when the wall heat flux is kept constant and uniform. This is attributed to lower heat transfer coefficient at the top section where the denser fluid tends to sink. Hence, to obtain a uniform wall temperature, a designed wall...journal article 2022

Periodic structures for melting enhancement: observation of critical cell size and localized meltingZhao, Chunrong (author), Opolot, Michael (author), Liu, Ming (author), Wang, Ji (author), Bruno, Frank (author), Mancin, Simone (author), Hooman, K. (author)The use of metallic periodic structures was considered for melting rate enhancement of a phase change material (PCM) contained in a rectangular enclosure isothermally heated from the side. The critical (optimized) cell size, or pore size, of a periodic structure with fixed porosity, realising the shortest melting time by maximizing the...journal article 2022
