Abstract

Argonne National Laboratory is a multiprogram research and development laboratory operated by The University of Chicago for the US Department of Energy. At Argonne, applied research in thermal and mechanical sciences is performed within the Thermal and Mechanical Sciences Section of the Energy Technology Division. Current program areas include compact evaporators and condensers for the process and transportation industries, ice slurries for district cooling, advanced fluids for improved heat transfer and reduced pressure drop, flow-induced vibration and flow distribution in shell-and-tube heat exchangers, and dynamics and control of maglev systems. In general, the objective of the research is to extend the technology base in each of these areas and to facilitate its application in solving problems of importance to US industries and utilities. This is accomplished by developing validated design correlations and predictive methods. The staff of the Thermal and Mechanical Sciences Section have extensive experimental and analytical experience in heat transfer, multiphase flow, structural dynamics and control, fluid-structure interaction, transient flow and mixing, thermally driven flows, and flow visualization using ultra-high-speed video. Large, general-purpose test facilities and smaller, single-purpose test apparatuses are available for experiments and component design evaluation. A world-class capability in the study of flow-induced vibrations existsmore »« less

Device-scale CFD study for mass transfer coefficient and effective mass transfer area in packed column

Technical Report Singh, Rajesh; Bao, Jie; Wang, Chao; ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a significant contributor of greenhouse gases emissions responsible for global warming. The fossil-fueled power plant is one of the major sources of CO₂ emission worldwide and needs to be mitigated. Post-combustion carbon capture by chemical absorption can be a promising technology to reduce CO₂ emission from power plants. The absorption is carried out via countercurrent flow in the packed columns. Although monoethanolamine (MEA) is a popular solvent, it has also limitations such as high volatility of solvent, corrosivity that leads to product degradation and damage to apparatuses, low CO₂ loading capacity, etc. Therefore, alternate solvents aremore »« less

High Performance Computing to Enable Next-Generation Low-Temperature Waste Heat Recovery

Technical Report Rao, Vivek; Delchini, Marc-Olivier; Bani Ahmad, Mohammad; ...

US manufacturing industry fails to recover an estimated 900 trillion BTUs of low-temperature waste heat from its processes each year. A grand research challenge has been to develop waste heat recovery technology that can be applied to industrial manufacturing processes and vehicle operations. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)/Eaton research team performed computational research and development to design an innovative direct-contact heat exchanger (DCHE) technology to deliver low-cost, compact, longer-lifetime, high-efficiency waste heat recovery that is optimized for a low-temperature organic Rankine cycle. ORNL resources and expertise in high performance computing (HPC) and multiphase flows were utilized to realize thismore »« less
