Numerical Simulation of Pool Film Boiling Heat Transfer during Quenching of Heated Cylindrical Rods

S. Ebrahim [1], F. B. Cheung [1], A. Alshayji [2],
[1] Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA
[2] Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and Petroleum, Kuwait University, Kuwait

This research studies possible ways to mitigate failure of a nuclear reactor, in which the coolant supply to the nuclear core has been compromised, known as Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA). One possible way to decrease the severity of the incident is to quickly quench the fuel rods in ... Read More

Thermal Model and Control of Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition Process

J. L. Ebert [1], S. Ghosal [1], N. Acharya [1]
[1] SC Solutions, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA

Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) is used for the manufacture of Multi-Quantum Well Light Emitting Diodes (MQW LEDs). The process uses a carrier gas flow containing a dilute mixture of metal organic precursors, Tri-Methyl Gallium (TMG) and Tri-Methyl Indium (TMI), to ... Read More

An Evaluation of CO2 Sequestration in Organic-Rich Shales Using COMSOL Multiphysics®

R. Barati [1], S. Cudjoe [1],
[1] University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA

Organic-rich shale resources remain an important source of hydrocarbons considering their substantial contribution to crude oil and natural gas production around the world. Moreover, as part of mitigating the greenhouse gas effects due to the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, ... Read More

3D Unsteady CFD with Heat and Mass Transfer Simulations of Solar Adsorption Cooling System for Buildings
