L’étude menée concerne l'influence d'un obstacle bidimensionnel sur le transfert thermique convectif en convection naturelle sur une plaque plane verticale. Une étude bibliographique présente tout d'abord les phénomènes physiques sur une plaque plane verticale. On présente également des travaux antérieurs concernant l'influence d'un obstacle sur le transfert convectif. La partie expérimentale de ce travail a tout d'abord été axée sur la validation du banc d'essais en configuration plaque plane verticale ainsi que de la démarche expérimentale. Pour calculer la distribution du coefficient d'échange local à partir de la mesure de la distribution de la température de surface, nous avons développé une méthode d'identification permettant de résoudre certains problèmes liés à l'utilisation de la thermographie infrarouge. Cette étude numérique a été validée sur des cas test ainsi que sur des cas expérimentaux. Finalement, nous présentons des distributions locales du coefficient d'échange convectif dans le cas d'une plaque plane verticale en présence d'un obstacle. Nous présentons également l'influence de certains paramètres sur ces distributions locales. En outre, des visualisations d'écoulements ont permis de faire un parallèle entre les distributions du coefficient d'échange et la dynamique autour de l'obstacle. De cette étude locale, nous en avons déduit l'influence de l'obstacle sur les performances convectives globales. Dans toutes les configurations que nous avons testées, nous avons obtenu des diminutions de l'ordre de 20% de l'échange convectif comparativement au cas de la plaque plane.

This book bridges the gap between the theoretical work of the rheologist, and the practical needs of those who have to design and operate the systems in which these materials are handled or processed. It is an established and important reference for senior level mechanical engineers, chemical and process engineers, as well as any engineer or scientist who needs to study or work with these fluids, including pharmaceutical engineers, mineral processing engineers, medical researchers, water and civil engineers. This new edition covers a considerably broader range of topics than its predecessor, including computational fluid dynamics modelling techniques, liquid/solid flows and applications to areas such as food processing, among others. * Written by two of the world's leading experts, this is the only dedicated non-Newtonian flow reference in print. * Since first publication significant advances have been made in almost all areas covered in this book, which are incorporated in the new edition, including developments in CFD and computational techniques, velocity profiles in pipes, liquid/solid flows and applications to food processing, and new heat/mass transfer methods and models. * Covers both basic rheology and the fluid mechanics of NN fluids ? a truly self-contained reference for anyone studying or working with the processing and handling of fluids

This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

Since many processes in the food industry involve fluid flow and heat and mass transfer, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provides a powerful early-stage simulation tool for gaining a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the performance of food processing, allowing engineers to test concepts all the way through the development of a process or system. Published in 2007, the first edition was the first book to address the use of CFD in food processing applications, and its aims were to present a comprehensive review of CFD applications for the food industry and pinpoint the research and development trends in the development of the technology; to provide the engineer and technologist working in research, development, and operations in the food industry with critical, comprehensive, and readily accessible information on the art and science of CFD; and to serve as an essential reference source to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in universities and research institutions. This will continue to be the purpose of this second edition. In the second edition, in order to reflect the most recent research and development trends in the technology, only a few original chapters are updated with the latest developments. Therefore, this new edition mostly contains new chapters covering the analysis and optimization of cold chain facilities, simulation of thermal processing and modeling of heat exchangers, and CFD applications in other food processes.
