Natural convection and conduction in a vertical annulus with a concentric baffle : a numerical study

Creator:

Fishbaugher, Mark J.

Abstract:

Analytical and numerical study of steady-state laminar natural convection and conduction has been performed for an enclosure between concentric vertical cylinders. The inner and outer cylinders were isothermal, and the connecting top and bottom walls were adiabatic. A concentric baffle was included in the annulus, and the flow field and...

Effects of fluid axial conduction on liquid metal natural circulation and linear stability

Creator:

Sabharwall, Piyush

Abstract:

The effect of fluid axial thermal conduction on one-dimensional liquid metal natural circulation and its linear stability was performed through non-dimensional analysis, steady-state assessment, and linear perturbation evaluation. The Nyquist criterion and a root search method were employed to find the linear stability boundary of both forward and backward circulations....
