MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411103208 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 26, 2024, for Thermal Management System Using Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium Model For Porous Media.
Inventor includes Nitish Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The invention pertains to the technical field of thermal management systems, specifically utilizing a Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium (LTNE) model for porous media. The system comprises a porous media structure with a solid matrix and a fluid phase, where the solid matrix includes interconnected pores facilitating fluid flow. It integrates multiple viscous dissipation models, such as Form Drag (FD) model and a Clear Fluid Compatible (CFC) model, to predict heat transfer behavior accurately. A computational framework is configured to implement the LTNE model, allowing for distinct temperature profiles for the solid matrix and fluid phase, enabling precise heat conduction in the solid matrix and convection in the fluid phase. The fluid phase is introduced through an inlet and exits through an outlet, interacting thermally with the solid matrix. The LTNE model framework provides a precise understanding and prediction of the system's thermal behavior, accommodating non- Newtonian fluid flow and optimizing system design.
