Abstract

Numerical investigation has been employed using Lattice Boltzmann Model (LBM) to investigate a temporal and a spatial characteristics of the flow past over a single and doubled strainers confined in a channel. A two dimensional nine directional (D2Q9) lattice arrangements is employed. The single and doubled strainers have been considered for Reynolds numbers Re=100. Flow and temperature field of a single and doubled strainers have been predicted. The local and the average Nusselt number have been evaluated for a single and a doubled arrangement of strainers. The results illustrate the effect of the porosity of the strainer on the local and the average Nusselt number. Consequently, a strainer enhances the heat transfer coefficient inside the A/C duct.
