Experimental study of water film flow on large vertical and inclined flat plate

Experimental study of an inclined flat plate-type solar water distillation system

Flat plate-type solar water distillation (FPSWD) is having importance for providing hot water and drinking water simultaneously to households in rural areas or small community/hotels. It utilizes solar radiation to heat the water, produce fresh water out of the saline or brackish water, and also produce hot water. The paper is focused on field performance of inclined FPSWD for domestic and comm...

Analysis of Laminar Film Condensation on a Vertical Plate

Experimental Study of Natural Convection Cooling of Vertical Cylinders with Inclined Plate Fins

Abstract: In this paper, natural convection from vertical cylinders with inclined plate fins is investigated experimentally for use in cooling electronic equipment. Extensive experimental investigations are performed for various inclination angles, fin numbers, and base temperatures. From the experimental data, a correlation for estimating the Nusselt number is proposed. The correlation is appl...

An Experimental Study of Mist / Air Film Cooling On a Flat Plate With Application to Gas

Film cooling is a cooling technique widely used in highperformance gas turbines to protect the turbine airfoils from being damaged by hot flue gases. Motivated by the need to further improve film cooling in terms of both cooling effectiveness and coolant coverage area, the mist/air film cooling scheme is investigated through experiments in this study. A small amount of tiny water droplets (7% w...

Natural convection flow over an inclined flat plate with internal heat generation and variable viscosity

The present investigation deals with study of laminar natural convection flow of a viscous fluid over a semi-infinite flat plate inclined at a small angle to the horizontal with internal heat generation and variable viscosity. The dimensionless boundary layer equations are solved numerically for a negatively inclined plate using a very efficient marching order implicit finite difference scheme....
