A combined fluid-dynamic and thermodynamic model to predict the onset of rapid phase transitions in LNG spills
Karl Yngve Lervåg, Hans L. Skarsvåg, Eskil Aursand +8
Transport of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by ship occurs globally on a massive scale. The large temperature difference between LNG and water means LNG will boil violently if spilled…
Performance analysis of heat and energy recovery ventilators using exergy analysis and nonequilibrium thermodynamics
Magnus Aa. Gjennestad, Eskil Aursand, Elisa Magnanelli +1
The increased attention to energy savings has contributed to more widespread use of energy recovery systems for building ventilation. We investigate the efficiency of such systems…
A multi-phase ferrofluid flow model with equation of state for thermomagnetic pumping and heat transfer
Eskil Aursand, Magnus Aa. Gjennestad, Karl Yngve Lervåg +1
A one-dimensional multi-phase flow model for thermomagnetically pumped ferrofluid with heat transfer is proposed. The thermodynamic model is a combination of a simplified particle…
Potential of enhancing a natural convection loop with a thermomagnetically pumped ferrofluid
Eskil Aursand, Magnus Aa. Gjennestad, Karl Yngve Lervåg +1
The feasibility of using a thermomagnetically pumped ferrofluid to enhance the performance of a natural convection cooling loop is investigated. First, a simplified analytical esti…
