Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering Applied Sciences (EAS) Seminar
- Location: Textiles Building 101E
- Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
- Description: Joint Mechanical Engineering (MNE) and Engineering Applied Science (EAS) Seminar
DATE:
September 22nd, 2016
TIME:
1:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m.
LOCATION:
Textile Building, Room 101E
SPEAKER:
Mr. Alexandre Guion, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Nuclear Science & Engineering
TOPIC:
Modeling and Simulation of Liquid Microlayer Formation and Evaporation in Nucleate Boiling using Computational Fluid Dynamics
ABSTRACT:
The transport of latent heat makes boiling the most efficient mode of heat transfer, allowing power plants to greatly improve their thermal performance. Subcooled boiling heat transfer for example is able to accommodate very high heat fluxes, thus cooling reactor components very efficiently. Advanced diagnostics such as Infrared Imaging, Particle Image Velocimetry and High Speed Video, paint a detailed picture of boiling heat transfer phenomena. Through careful calibration and post-processing, it is possible to measure the temperature and heat flux distribution on the boiling surface, which reveals features such as the effect of evaporation of the liquid microlayer underneath a bubble growing at a heated wall.
Depending on the fluid, flow and nucleation temperature, the microlayer evaporation contribution to overall heat transfer and bubble growth can be large, for example in the case of water (Gerardi et al., IJHMT, 53, 4185-4192, 2010) or relatively small, for example in the case of refrigerant FC-72 (Demiray and Kim, IJHMT, 47, 3257-3268, 2004). Evaporation models require initialization of the microlayer shape and extension, but models for microlayer formation are either physically incomplete, e.g. no effect of surface tension and contact angle (Van Stralen et al., IJHMT, 18, 453-467, 1975), or purely empirical (Sato and Niceno, J. Comp. Phys., 300, 20-52, 2015).
In this work, we use the multiphase flow solver Gerris with the Volume-Of-Fluid interface tracking method and Adaptive Mesh Refinement to bridge this gap and cover a wide range of capillary numbers, contact angles, viscosity and density ratios, to include both experimental and industrial conditions. During this presentation, two main results will be presented: (i) a scale-dependent model for direct computation of dynamic contact lines, and (ii) a new and generally-applicable model for the formation of the microlayer. Lastly, subgrid modeling of microlayer evaporation in coarser CFD codes will be discussed.
Short BIO:
Alex Guion is a 4th-year PhD student from the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. He works on the fundamentals of boiling heat transfer in the Thermal-Hydraulics group of Professor Jacopo Buongiorno. Before coming to the US, Alex did a couple masters degrees in France, respectively in Nuclear Science and Engineering at CEA (French National Lab), and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Centrale-Supelec.

Word Tables, Graphics & Templates
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Cost: Free!
- Contact: CITS: Computing & Information Technology Services
- Description: This workshop covers Microsoft Word’s tables and graphics features in detail. The effective use of these tools will make your documents more professional and memorable. This workshop also explores the use of templates, and other time-saving features of Word. Templates are used as blueprints for standardized documents, such as stationery. Using templates eliminates the repetitive task of creating each document from scratch. Familiarity with the basic text-editing features of Word is required.
This workshop takes place in the Library, room 135.
