Minimization of thermal resistance in an air cooled porous matrix made up of solid spheres with heat generation

Baloyi, Jacobin; Bello-Ochende, Tunde; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2012-08)

In this paper an analytical model was developed to minimize the thermal resistance of an air cooled porous matrix made up of solid spheres with internal heat generation. This was done under the assumption of local thermal ...
Thermodynamic optimisation and computational analysis of irreversibilities in a small-scale wood-fired circulating fluidised bed adiabatic combustor

Baloyi, Jacobin; Bello-Ochende, Tunde; Meyer, Josua P. (Elsevier, 2014-06)

An analysis of irreversibilities generated due to combustion in an adiabatic combustor burning wood was conducted. This was done for a reactant mixture varying from a rich to a lean mixture. A non-adiabatic non-premixed ...
