A numerical study will be performed to evaluate the performance of these tiles. Initial calculations will be performed for designs where actual data are available to enable validation. Subsequently opimisation of the design for maximum heat transfer will be carried out. This is being generalised into a study of the consequential changes in ultra sound signals. In conjunction with Dr Ciofalo of University of Palermo, we are studying the effects of time filtering of unsteady flows by analogy with Large Eddy Simulation.
Initial results are encouraging.
CHAM Ltd. During this investigation software available at CHAM Ltd will be used to simulate mixing and chemical reaction in paddle stirred reactors. The numerical results will again be compared with experimental data for validation and possible code improvements. The project will commence a review of water availability and use around the world identifying and discussing regions with problems. Particular reasons for the lack of water availability will also be reviewed with reference to location. Common problems will be identified and suggestions made.
