Conjugate heat transfer effects on flow boiling in microchannels
F. Municchi, I. El Mellas, O. K. Matar +1
This article presents a computational study of saturated flow boiling in non-circular microchannels. The unit channel of a multi-microchannel evaporator, consisting of the fluidic…
Two-fluid modeling of heat transfer in flows of dense suspensions
Pranay P. Nagrani, Federico Municchi, Amy M. Marconnet +1
We develop a two-fluid model (TFM) for heat transfer in dense non-Brownian suspensions. Specifically, we propose closure relations for the inter-phase heat transfer coefficient and…
Heterogeneous Multi-Rate mass transfer models in OpenFOAM
Federico Municchi, Nicodemo di Pasquale, Marco Dentz +1
We implement the Multi-Rate Mass Transfer (MRMT) model for mobile-immobile transport in porous media within the open-source finite volume library \textsc{OpenFOAM}\reg \citep{Found…
Optimisation of crust freezing in meat processing via Computational Fluid Dynamics
Evaldas Greiciunas, Federico Municchi, Nicodemo Di Pasquale +1
In this work a numerical model for two-dimensional axisymmetric continuous freezing by impingement of processed meat or similar products in food industry moving along a conveyor be…
Macroscopic models for filtration and heterogeneous reactions in porous media
Federico Municchi, Matteo Icardi
Derivation of macroscopic models for advection-diffusion processes in the presence of dominant heterogeneous (e.g., surface) reactions using homogenisation theory or volume averagi…
Generalised Multi-Rate Models for conjugate transfer in heterogeneous materials
Federico Municchi, Matteo Icardi
We propose a novel macroscopic model for conjugate heat and mass transfer between a \emph{mobile region}, where advective transport is significant, and a set of \emph{immobile regi…
