Abstract:
We adopted lattice Boltzmann method to simulate double diffusion mixed convection, fluid-solid conjugate heat transfer and adsorption process in a lid-driven composite enclosure filled with homogeneous medium at pore scale. Influences of buoyancy ratio
Br (-100 ≤
Br ≤ 100) and adsorption rate constant
k1 (0.001 ≤
k1 ≤ 0.005) on characteristics of heat and mass transfer were compared at porosity
ε=0.79, Prandtl number
Pr=0.7, Grashof number
Gr=10
4 and Lewis number
Le=1.0. Streamlines, isotherms, isoconcentrations, adsorption capacity (
CS), average Nusselt number
Nuav and Sherwood number
Shav of the left heated wall under different parameters were discussed in detail. It shows that
Br affects adsorption by changing concentration distribution around medium in flow field; Increasing
k1 improves significantly adsorption efficiency and adsorption capacity.
