Comparative Analysis of Al2O3/Water–TiO2/Chlorophyll Hybrid Nanofluids in a Photovoltaic–Thermal Solar Water Heating System

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
TiO2/chlorophyll bio‐hybrid nanofluid achieved the highest PVT performance, increasing thermal efficiency to 38.74% and overall efficiency to 51.35%, compared with 35.96% and 48.45% for Al2O3/water and 27.77% and 40.18% for water. The results demonstrate the potential of bio‐hybrid nanofluids for high‐efficiency solar thermal energy conversion ...

Turbulence‐Intensity Effects on the Aerodynamic Performance of an H‐Type Darrieus Wind Turbine: A URANS Parametric Study

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Turbulence intensity from 1% to 25% was parametrically tested on a three‐bladed H‐type Darrieus rotor across five tip speed ratios (TSRs) using two‐dimensional URANS. The optimal TSR proved the most efficient and most robust operating point simultaneously, with Cp losses capped at 5.8% even at TI = 25%. ABSTRACT The effect of inlet turbulence intensity

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Exact Computation of the Color Function for Triangular Element Interfaces

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
We propose a robust algorithm, the Front2VOF algorithm, to compute the color function for triangular element interfaces in Front‐Tracking methods on a Cartesian mesh. ABSTRACT The calculation of the volume enclosed by curved surfaces discretized into triangular elements and a cube is of great importance in different domains, such as computer graphics ...

Effect of Microchannel Geometry on Nanoparticle Deposition in Nanofluid Flow

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study numerically analyzed nanoparticle deposition in microchannels with varying geometries. Deposition per unit area decreases significantly with increasing bend angle (28.612 to 8.941 between 30° and 120°) and bend radius (11.922 to 4.769 between 0.2 and 0.4 mm). Acute bends and small radii enhance centrifugal forces and flow separation, leading
