Convective Heat Transfer Measurements in Cigarettes

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...

Convective Heat Transfer PastSmall Cylindrical

Convective heat transfer from an array of small, cylindrical bodies of arbitrary shape in an unbounded, two-dimensional domain is a singular perturbation problem involving an innnite logarithmic expansion in the small parameter ", representing the order of magnitude of the size of the bodies. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we formulate a hybrid asymptotic-numerical method to...

Convective Heat Transfer Effects in Airfoil Icing

Various classic icing codes have been developed and used by the aircraft manufacturers to predict the ice shapes evolution. These codes apply boundary layer integral analysis, based on sand grain roughness, to estimate the convective heat transfer coefficient around the iced airfoil and adopt abrupt transition between laminar and turbulent flow. In the present work, the integral analysis is als...

Experimental study of convective heat transfer coefficient of MgO nanofluid in a cylindrical microchannel heat sink

Convective heat transfer of MgO-water nanofluid in a microchannel heat sink is experimentally investigated in various concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.6 wt%. The microchannel consisted of 48 parallel rectangular cross section channels with the height of 800 µm, width of 524 µm and length of 52 mm. A well stability duration (ca. 1 month) was resulted by a 180 min ultra-sonication of the ...
