    Comparative analysis on heat transfer, between a steady and oscillating jet in a cavity
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2024) Iachachene, Farida; Mataoui, Amina
    This paper numerically investigates the cooling of a heated rectangular cavity by a cold slot jet. The study aims to examine the effect of the jet location inside the cavity (Lf and Lh) and Reynolds number on heat transfer, using URANS turbulence modelling. Different flow behaviours, including oscillatory and steady flows, are generated depending on the jet location inside the cavity. The study identifies and discusses the optimal jet locations for achieving optimal cavity cooling. The results indicate that the lateral placement of the jet has a negligible effect on heat transfer across all cavity walls. Additionally, oscillatory flow consistently expands the heat exchange zone along all three walls, resulting in a wider effective exchange area compared to steady flow conditions. The study proposes optimised jet positions within the cavity for specific wall cooling requirements. By considering the optimal combination of jet height and impinging distance, the cooling performance can be optimised.

    Numerical investigation and optimization of melting performance for thermal energy storage system partially filled with metal foam layer: New design configurations
    (Elsevier, 2023) Haddad, Zoubida; Iachachene, Farida; Sheremet, Mikhail A.; ;Abu-Nada, Eiyad
    Low thermal performance of storage systems represents a barrier to their industrial/engineering application and commercialization. Among all the proposed methods, combination of phase change material with metal foams appears more promising due to the high thermal conductivity of metal foams. However, the insertion of metal foams reduces the PCM volume; hence, a lower amount of stored energy. The present numerical study thoroughly addresses this issue with a focus on the optimization of melting performance for thermal energy storage system partially filled with metal foam layer. A finite volume method based on the enthalpy–porosity technique has been adopted for the numerical simulations. The metal foam location, porosity, and nanoparticle volume fraction were optimized to explore their effects on the melting performance. The results showed that inserting the foam layer diagonally from the top left to the right bottom leads to the lowest melting time. Compared to pure PCM, the melting time increases by 77.7%, while the stored energy decreases by 6.7%. The optimum porosity was found to be 0.88 as it gives approximately the same amount of stored energy as that of pure PCM with a deviation of 4%. Adding nanoparticles to pure PCM increases the melting rate by approximately 8%, while it decreases the stored energy by almost 3%. It is concluded that hybrid systems, i.e., metal foam at an optimum porosity and nanoparticles is more efficient than using each technique separately
