Two-phase flow in porous metal foam flow fields of PEM fuel cells
Xingxiao Tao, Kai Sun, Rui Chen +4
Porous metal foam (PMF) flow field is a potential option for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) due to its excellent capabilities in gas distribution and water drainage.…
Mass transfer and water management in proton exchange membrane fuel cells with a composite foam-rib flow field
Wei Gao, Qifeng Li, Kai Sun +3
Mass transfer capability of reactants and hydrothermal management is important for the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In the conventional rib fl…
Singular jets during droplet impact on superhydrophobic surfaces
Xiaoyun Peng, Tianyou Wang, Feifei Jia +3
Hypothesis: The impact of droplets is prevalent in numerous applications, and jetting during droplet impact is a critical process controlling the dispersal and transport of liquid.…
Collision of surfactant-laden droplets: insights from molecular dynamics simulation
Soheil Arbabi, Piotr Deuar, Rachid Bennacer +2
We study the collision dynamics of surfactant-laden droplets and compare it with that of pure water droplets, with a focus on the bridge growth rate, energy balance, and disk dynam…
Coalescence delay mediated by the gas layer during the impact of hot droplets
Zhigang Xu, Haicheng Qi, Tianyou Wang +1
Coalescence may not occur immediately when droplets impact a liquid film. Despite the prevalence of the high-temperature condition during the impact process in many applications, t…
Transitions of breakup regimes for viscous droplets in airflow
Zhikun Xu, Tianyou Wang, Zhizhao Che
Droplet breakup is important in many natural and industrial processes, but the current classification of breakup regimes, especially the intermediate breakup regime, is ambiguous.…
Mist formation during micro-explosion of emulsion droplets
Houpeng Zhang, Zhen Lu, Tianyou Wang +1
The micro-explosion of emulsion droplets plays an important role in promoting atomization, improving combustion efficiency, and reducing pollutant emissions. In this experimental s…
Growth of Elongated Vapor Bubbles During Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Wavy Microchannels
Odumuyiwa A. Odumosu, Huashi Xu, Tianyou Wang +1
Flow boiling within microchannels is an efficient heat removal mechanism by utilizing the latent heat of the fluid. Numerical simulations can resolve the small temporal and spatial…
