Conjugate Problems in Convective Heat Transfer: Review

Abram S . Dorfman Conjugate Problems in Convective Heat Transfer

Transient Convective Heat Transfer

In nature, as well as within the human-made thermal systems, the time-variable regimes are more commonly encountered, if not always, than the permanent regimes. Nevertheless, studies in convection are still more frequent in the permanent regimes, undoubtedly due to the related difficulties in calculation in terms of time and cost of computation. One may distinguish two categories of time-depend...

Effect of conjugate heat transfer in designing thermoelectric beverage cooler

Peltier technology opens new opportunities for special applications. In the current project, this technology was applied to design and fabricate a portable thermoelectric beverage cooler and thermoelectric cup. The simulation and results of the experiment showed that the common beverage cooler is not a suitable design for ignoring the effect of natural convection in cooling. In our thermoel...

A Hybrid Uncertainty Propagation Scheme for Convective Heat Transfer Problems

A computational analysis of convective heat flux around an array of cylinders in a high Reynolds number flow is presented; we assume that both the inflow and the wall heat flux conditions are specified with a margin of uncertainty and our objective is to quantify the resulting effect on some functional of interest, mainly the cylinder wall temperature. We introduce a hybrid uncertainty propagat...
