Abstract
A numerical analysis of the falling nanofilm evaporation on a vertical porous wetted wall by mixed convection was performed. The right-wall was dry and isothermal, while the left wall is embedded in a non-Darcy porous medium filled with nanofilm (water+low fraction volume of copper nanoparticles) and exposed to a uniform heat flux from the outside. The nanofluid film makes up the liquid, while dry air and water vapor comprise the gas mixture. The results obtained from this study pertain to the impact of porosity, thickness of the porous layer, concentration of nanoparticles on heat and mass exchange, and liquid film evaporation. The results indicate that mass and heat exchange, as well as liquid film evaporation, are improved in the case of nanofilm by introducing a liquid-saturated porous medium. It is shown that in the case of a porous layer, the dispersion of the nanoparticles into water film ameliorates the liquid film evaporation of the plate evaporator and weakly improves the mass and heat exchange.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Media publishes original full-length research articles (and technical notes) in a wide variety of areas related to porous media studies, such as mathematical modeling, numerical and experimental techniques, industrial and environmental heat and mass transfer, conduction, convection, radiation, particle transport and capillary effects, reactive flows, deformable porous media, biomedical applications, and mechanics of the porous substrate. Emphasis will be given to manuscripts that present novel findings pertinent to these areas. The journal will also consider publication of state-of-the-art reviews. Manuscripts applying known methods to previously solved problems or providing results in the absence of scientific motivation or application will not be accepted. Submitted articles should contribute to the understanding of specific scientific problems or to solution techniques that are useful in applications. Papers that link theory with computational practice to provide insight into the processes are welcome.
