The enhancement of the thermal and thermo-hydraulic performance a semi-circular solar air collector (SCSAC) is numerically investigated using porous obstacles made metal foam with without longitudinal Y-shaped fins. Two 10 40 PPI material samples are examined. Three-dimensional models built to simulate SCSAC: model (I) clear passage; (II) only obstacles, (III) as well Y-fins. COMSOL Multiphysics software version 6.2 based on finite element methodology employed. A conjugate heat transfer (k-ε) turbulence selected both fluid flow across entire computational domain. However, local non-equilibrium (LTNE) applied in regions. findings demonstrated that adding novel proposed configuration particularity may enhance efficiency by about 30%, outlet temperature rise 7% compared other models. Also, evaluation factor this greater than one all cases. Additionally, accomplished occupying 5% passage volume, thereby including an associated pressure drop minimal magnitude.

With the rapid development of new energy vehicle market, demand for efficient, low-noise, low-energy consumption, high-strength, and durable gear transmission systems is continuously increasing. Therefore, it has become imperative to conduct in-depth research into fluid heat transfer lubrication dynamics within gearboxes. In systems, interaction between fluids solids leads complex nonlinear characteristics gears lubricants, making resolution gearbox thermodynamic models highly challenging. This paper proposes a model based on LBM-LES coupling study dynamic laws process. The results indicate that intense shear effects caused by high speeds generate vortices, which are particularly pronounced larger gears. mixing effect in these vortex regions better, achieving more uniform dissipation effect. Furthermore, flow lubricant closely related speed temperature. Under high-temperature conditions (such as 100 °C), diffusion range increases, forming wider oil film, but its viscosity significantly decreases, leading greater stirring losses. By optimizing selection lubricants parameters, efficiency reliability system can be further improved, extending service life. provides comprehensive analytical framework multi-stage clarifying mechanisms offering insights theoretical foundations future engineering applications this field.
