Thermal Modelling

In the present study, cooling of PV module using a paraffin-based phase change material (PCM) in hot climate of Vietnam is investigated. Thermal modelling is first validated against experimental data reported in literature and then transient thermal simulations are carried out for a duration of 24 hours to assess the effect of PCM itself and PCM with internal fins.

The aim of this Master of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis is to study the structural response and failure of aerospace grade composites during exposure to fire. Key aspects of the research are to analyse the thermal and mechanical responses of laminates and sandwich composites in high temperature and fire environments, which result in softening and structural failure. The research is concentrated on carbon/epoxy laminates and sandwich composites, which are the most common composite materials used in aerospace structures.

We have investigated the thermodynamic properties of the cubic zirconia ZrO2 using the statistical moment method in the statistical physics. The free energy, thermal lattice expansion coefficient, specific heats at the constant volume and those at the constant pressure, CV and CP , are derived in closed analytic forms in terms of the power moments of the atomic displacements.

On this base, the mechanistic MFPR code, including physically-grounded models for the fuel porosity evolution in UO2 fuel under various irradiation and thermal regimes, is refined. These modifications complete the consistent description of the fuel porosity evolution in the MFPR code and result in a notable improvement of the code predictions.

The goal of this study is to demonstrate and quantify the impact that the uncertainty in thermophysical properties has on key metrics of thermal hydraulic importance for MSRs, in particular on the heat transfer coefficient. In order to achieve this, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using the RANS k-ω SST model were compared to published experiment data on molten salt.

This article deals with the thermoelastic interaction in a three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic viscoelastic medium under the Dual-phase-lag model of generalized thermoelasticity. The resulting non-dimensional coupled equations are applied to a specific problem of a half-space whose surface is traction-free and is subjected to a time-dependent thermal shock.

This thesis aims to develop finite element models for studying vibration of FGM porous beams in thermal environment under moving loads. Both analytical method and finite element analysis are employed in the thesis. The analytical method is used to derive equations of motion for the beam, and the finite element method is then employed to solve the governing equations and to determine the dynamic characteristics of the beams.
