Title: | Modeling and simulation of wetted porous thermal barriers operating under high temperature or high heat flux | Authors: | Costa, V. A. F. Mendonça, M. L. Figueiredo, A. R. |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Citation: | International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. 51:13-14 (2008) 3342-3354 | Abstract: | Porous media with high water content can be successfully used as thermal barriers to operate under high exposure temperatures and/or high heat fluxes. Modeling and simulation of such systems presents difficulties and challenges, which are pointed and worked out in this work. Liquid water and water vapor transfers are considered, including the capillary effects for the liquid phase, as well as the air transfer inside the porous medium. Heat transfer model includes conduction, radiation, enthalpy convection, sensible heating and phase change. A realistic model is considered at the exposed boundary in what concerns mass transfer: the outflow mass transfer is dictated by the water effusion and not by the convection transfer mechanism between the exposed surface and the environment. A set of numerical aspects is detailed, concerning both the numerical modeling and the solution of the discretization equations, which are crucial to obtain successful simulations. Some illustrative results are presented, showing the potential of the wetted porous media when used as thermal barriers, as well as the capabilities of the presented physical and numerical models to deal with such systems. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/4177 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2007.11.033 | Rights: | openAccess |
