چکیده

در صنعت برای افزایش سطح انتقال حرارت غالباً از پره­ها استفاده می­شود؛ اما در برخی موارد به‌دلیل محدودیت در فضا و شرایط عملیاتی، دارای بازدهی محدودی است. با توجه به توانایی محیط متخلخل در افزایش بازدهی حرارتی، از راه افزایش سطح تبادل انرژی و تغییر در گرادیان سرعت، حضور مواد متخلخل به‌عنوان راهکاری نوین در افزایش انتقال حرارت مورد توجه قرار گرفته است. در این پژوهش با هدف ارزیابی امکان استفاده از مواد متخلخل در کاربردهای صنعتی، ضمن بررسی آخرین مطالعات، عوامل مؤثر بر انتقال حرارت (عدد ناسلت (Nu)) در حضور این دسته از مواد (آرایش، هدایت حرارتی، گرادیان حفره‌ها، درصد تخلخل، تراوایی و عدد دارسی، ضخامت، سرعت سیال و حضور چشمۀ حرارتی) ارزیابی شده‌اند. آرایش‌های مختلف بررسی‌شده در دو دستۀ جزئی و کاملاً متخلخل تقسیم­بندی می­شوند؛ در میان آرایش­های بررسی‌شده، آرایش کاملاً متخلخل غالباً بالاترین مقدار افزایش در میزان انرژی تبادل یافته و افت فشار را از خود نشان داده است. با توجه به افزایش افت فشار ضمن حضور محیط متخلخل، معیاری برای ارزیابی آرایش­های مختلف گزارش شده است. در پایان به محدودیت­ها و چالش­های پیش رو در استفاده از این مواد پرداخته شده است.

چکیده [English]

Expanded surfaces are considered as the common way to heat transfer increment in the industry, but due to their operating conditions and lack of footprint, their use in some situations is limited. Because of its ability in thermal efficiency increment using increasing available area and change in velocity gradient, the porous medium has been considered as a novel solution in heat transfer increment. During this investigation the effective parameters on heat transfer (Nusselt number (Nu)) in the presence of porous medium (configuration, thermal conductivity, pore gradient, porosity, permeability and Darcy number (Da), thickness, fluid velocity, and heat source) were studied. The studied configurations can be classified in partial and fully porous categories. Among the investigated papers, the fully filled configuration usually has shown the maximum exchanged energy and pressure drop. Because using a porous medium leads to pressure drop increase, an index was reported to compare between different configuration can be applied. Finally, limitations and challenges in this field were investigated.
