The demand for secure, affordable and clean energy is a priority call to humanity. Challenges associated with conventional energy resources, such as depletion of fossil fuels, high costs and associated greenhouse gas emissions, have stimulated interests in renewable energy resources. For instance, there have been clear gaps and rushed thoughts about replacing fossil-fuel driven engines with electric vehicles without long-term plans for energy ...

Amongst concerns about climate change, energy security decline and depletion of fossil fuels, this book explores the high importance of and interests in alternative energy resources. Many studies have shown that biomass fuels are sustainable, environmentally friendly and can be the most appropriate replacement to the depleting crude oil. Additionally, they can expand green landscapes, create new job opportunities, be directly utilised in stand...

This work documents the development of a conjugate heat transfer solver, based on integrating an in-house computational fluid dynamics code with a heat conduction solver internally. A simplified method of interpolation using mapped solid/fluid areas was introduced for treating non-matching/overlapping meshes at interface. Examples of industrial conjugate heat transfer applications are Heat Exchangers, internal cooling in gas-turbine engines, n...

This book documents pioneering mathematical models introduced for the simulation of multi-component droplets heating and evaporation processes which are implementable into commercial CFD codes. These models, described as ¿multi-dimensional quasi discrete` (MDQD) and ¿discrete-component` models, were applied to automotive fuel droplets in experimentally measured internal combustion engine conditions for biodiesel, diesel, and gasoline fuels.
