One of the conditions for controlling the aerodynamics in the reaction chamber is designing a crevice volume on the surface of the piston head. The importance of the crevice volume is to contain the cool boundary layers generated as a resulting of the moving reactor piston. However, this crevice volume consequently drops the end gas pressure and temperature at the end of the stroke. The CFD study of the aerodynamic effect of a piston movement in a reaction chamber was modelled using the commercial code of Ansys Fluent and assuming a 2-Dimensional computational moving mesh. A starting optimal crevice volume of 282 mm3 was used for further optimisation. This resulted in five crevice lengths of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm, respectively. The crevice height of 5 mm was found to improve the compressed gas pressure at the end of the stroke to about 2 bar and temperature about 17.7 K and also maintained a uniform temperature field, while that of 12 mm had the least peak compressed gas pressure. This study investigated the possible means of improving the peak pressure and temperature drop in a rapid compression machine by further optimisation of the crevice volume.

The selection of suitable working fluid for simple and recuperative organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operating under subcritical, superheated and supercritical conditions are investigated. 11 fluids with critical temperature above 1500C are considered as potential candidates. Performance screening parameters such as net power output, thermal efficiency, turbine sizing parameter (SP) and volumetric flow ratio (VFR), exegetic parameters like irreversibility rate, fuel depletion ratio, and improvement potential rate of exergy destruction were also evaluated. Results indicate that R600a, R236fa and R1233dz(E) demonstrated the best performance for subcritical, superheated and supercritical simple ORC, respectively. R236fa and R1233dz(E) proved more suitable for subcritical/superheated and supercritical recuperative cycles, respectively. The system exegetic efficiency is reveal to be significantly higher in subcritical/superheated (61-65%) cycles compared to the supercritical (35-45%) cycle, the evaporator seen as the main source of exergy destruction, accounting for 17-37% of inlet exergy destroyed and about 8-24% in the turbine.

Chemical, petroleum and nuclear systems are only a few of the industrial processes that utilize gas-liquid flow in annular closed channels. However, concentric horizontal annuli flow patterns have received little attention. The ability to precisely characterize two-phase flow patterns using computational techniques is crucial for the production, transportation, and optimization of designs. This current research aims to establish the accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in predicting the gas-liquid flow pattern in the concentric annulus pipe and validating the flow pattern of liquid holdup with experimental results from the literature. The simulations were done on a test section of a 12.8 m length pipe with a hydraulic diameter of 0.0168 m using air and water as the working fluids. The volume of fluid (VOF) model in Ansys Fluent based on the Eulerian- Eulerian approach in conjunction with the realizable k-ε turbulence model was used to model the gas-liquid flow pattern, i.e. dispersed bubble, elongated bubble, and slug in a horizontal annulus. A comparison of the model with the experimental high-speed video images shows a reasonable agreement for the flow pattern and liquid holdup data.
