Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Heat transfer is widely used in various fields of science and technology. However, low heat-transfer efficiency has always been a bottleneck that restricts the development of many cutting-edge technologies, such as high-power electronic chip cooling and surface thermal protection of supersonic vehicles, etc. It is a challenging task to study heat transfer and flow under extreme conditions, such as confined spaces and ultra-high heat flux.

This Special Issue, entitled “Heat and Mass Transfer and Fluid Flow”, welcomes high-quality original papers that focus on a broad range of topics of interest, including but not limited to:

  • condensation, boiling, evaporation;
  • jets, wakes, and impingement cooling;
  • micro/nanoscale heat transfer;
  • multiphase flow;
  • transport processes;
  • modelling and computational methods.

As the low-carbon economy continues to evolve, the energy structure adjustment of using renewable energies to replace fossil fuel energies has become an inevitable trend. To increase the ratio of renewable energies in the electric power system and improve the economic efficiency of power generation systems based on renewables with hydrogen production, in this paper, an operation optimization model of a wind–solar hybrid hydrogen energy storage system is established based on electrochemical energy storage and hydrogen energy storage technology. The adaptive simulated annealing particle swarm algorithm is used to obtain the solution, and the results are compared with the standard particle swarm algorithm. The results show that the day-ahead operation scheme solved by the improved algorithm can save about 28% of the system operating cost throughout the day. The analytical results of the calculation example revealed that the established model had fully considered the actual operational features of devices in the system and could reduce the waste of wind and solar energy by adjusting the electricity purchased from the power grid and the charge and discharge powers of the storage batteries under the mechanism of time-of-use electricity price. The optimization of the day-ahead scheduling of the system achieved the minimization of daily system operation costs while ensuring that the hydrogen-producing power could meet the hydrogen demand.

The aim of our study is to delineate the characteristics of fluid flow comprising single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs and MWCNTs) along the surface of a Riga plate fixed in a porous environment. We carried out in-depth comparative analysis to depict the behavior of SWCNTs and MWCNTs when water and kerosene oil are used as base fluids. Homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions generated a significant impact on flow dynamics; furthermore, we also discuss the impact of viscous dissipation. We assembled numerical solutions for non-dimensionalized ordinary differential equations with the help of the shooting technique; moreover, by employing the same procedure, we report the conduct of dominating parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The results show highly desirable skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number values, which we exhibit in terms of tabular data. Full article
