A FEM model for microwave absorption and heat transfer in a microwave combination washer dryer

Smit, Pieter; Van Schoor, George; Uren, Kenny (IEEE, 2013)

Applications for the use of microwaves reach far and wide in various industries. Commonly known is the use of microwaves to heat foodstuffs. Research and development conducted in the development of a microwave combination ...
The flow and heat transfer in a packed bed high temperature gas-cooled reactor

Du Toit, C.G.; Rousseau, P.G. (ASME, 2010)

Engineers are faced with two major challenges when carrying out the thermal-fluid design of a complex system consisting of many interacting components such as the PBMR power plant. The first challenge is to predict the ...
A numerical study to investigate the effect of inlet Reynolds number on the thermal-fluid phenomena in the supercritical carbon dioxide-cooled pebble bed reactor

Latifi, Masoumeh Sadat; Du Toit, C.G. (Springer, 2019)

This paper presents a numerical investigation into thermal–fluid phenomena in a supercritical carbon dioxide-cooled pebble bed reactor (SCPBR) core under steady state using computational fluid dynamic. In this study, a ...
