Abstract:
|
The transient cooling of a fluid initially at rest, inside a storage tank with an internal gas flue submitted
to heat losses to the ambient is studied. In order to identify the relevant non-dimensional groups that
define the transient natural convection phenomena that occur, a non-dimensional analysis is carried
out. The long-term behavior of the fluid is modeled by formulating a prediction model based on global
balances. The global model together with the proposed correlations have been submitted to a validation
process by comparing the results with those obtained from experimental set-up and detailed numerical
simulations. |
