Journal ArticleDOI
A continuum model for momentum, heat and species transport in binary solid-liquid phase change systems—I. Model formulation
W.D. Bennon,Frank P. Incropera +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a set of continuum conservation equations for binary, solid-liquid phase change systems is presented. But these equations have been cast into forms amenable to clear physical interpretation and solution by conventional numerical procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A continuum model for momentum, heat and species transport in binary solid-liquid phase change systems. II: Application to solidification in a rectangular cavity
W.D. Bennon,Frank P. Incropera +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a newly developed continuum model has been used with a well-established control-volume-based, finite-difference scheme to investigate solidification of a binary, aqueous ammonium chloride solution in a rectangular cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical analysis of binary solid-liquid phase change using a continuum model
W.D. Bennon,Frank P. Incropera +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical finite-difference scheme for the solution of coupled elliptic partial differential equations has been extended to accommodate binary solid-liquid phase change, and a recently developed continuum model has been developed to reduce the complexity of the multiconstituent, multiphase problem to a level of computational requirements generally associated with strongly coupled single-phase problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solidification of an aqueous ammonium chloride solution in a rectangular cavity—II. Comparison of predicted and measured results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared experimental and numerical results for solidification of a binary NH4C1-H2O solution in a rectangular cavity using a newly developed continuum model, which predicts key features of the solidification process such as liquidus interface irregularities, remelting and the development and subsequent erosion of a doublediffusive interface.
