Studies on porous radiant burners for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) cooking applications

This paper deals with the performance tests of a PRB (porous radiant burner) used for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) domestic cooking stoves. The burner consists of a two-layer porous media. The combustion zone is made up of silicon carbide, and alumina balls forms the preheating zone. For a given burner diameter, the p...

Parametric studies on a metal hydride based hydrogen storage device

In this paper, a two-dimensional computational investigation of coupled heat and mass transfer process in an annular cylindrical hydrogen storage device filled with MmNi 4.6 Al 0.4 is presented using a commercial software FLUENT 6.1.22. Hydrogen storage performance of the device is studied by varying the operating para...
