Experimental and numerical investigations of natural convection phenomena in a fermentation tank

Klembt Daniel, Meironke Heiko

Journal of Mechanical and Energy Engineering

2019

Vol. 3, No 3

235--244

In the context of investigations of real multiphase flows, the university has its own 350 litre fermentation tank with comprehensive acoustic flow and temperature measurement technology for the systematically investigation, of the influence of the fermentation activity, distribution of yeast and occurring convection phenomena. Due to the many problems with the optical (e.g. PIV) and acoustic (e.g. UDV) measurement in a real fermenting fluid the numerical simulation was already used in earlier publications. To validate the numerical models, extensive experimental investigations were carried out which show that the flow in the fermenter is caused only by the reaction products of the yeast and the cooling panels and controls the yeast distribution. In this paper, both the numerical (CFD) and the experimental investigations serve as a starting point to influence the yeast distribution. The described convection flow can only temporarily guarantee the uniform distribution of the yeast in the fermenter until the sedimentation of the yeast at the tank bottom (bottom-fermenting yeast) finally begins. The aim of the investigation is to influence the convection flow in certain zones by targeted cooling or heating of the jackets in such a way that a uniform spatial distribution of the yeast over the entire fermentation process is ensured and thus optimal conditions for its metabolic processes are given. Finally, the numerical simulation is validated with the experimental data.

Role of induced magnetic field on transient natural convection flow in a vertical channel: The Riemann sum approximation approach

Jha B. K., Sani I.

International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering

2015

Vol. 20, no. 1

65--85

This paper investigates the role of induced magnetic field on a transient natural convection flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible and viscous fluid in a vertical channel formed by two infinite vertical parallel plates. The transient flow formation inside the channel is due to sudden asymmetric heating of Chanel walls. The time dependent momentum, energy and magnetic induction equations are solved semi-analytically using the Laplace transform technique along with the Riemann-sum approximation method. The solutions obtained are validated by comparisons with the closed form solutions obtained for the steady states which hale been derived separately and also by the implicit finite difference method. Graphical results for the temperature, velocity, induced magnetic field, current density, and skin-friction based on the semi-analytical solutions are presented and discussed.
