چکیده
Validation and improvement of theoretical models and numerical results using experimental data is one of the most challenging research goals nowadays. With this objective a new experimental technique was developed and applied to the study of heat and mass transfer problems in uid ows. The method, based on a computational analysis of the colour and displacement of liquid crystal tracers, was used to determine both the temperature and velocity elds of natural convection ow within a rectangular enclosure. The paths of the individual tracers were obtained using 3-D particle tracking. Comparison of several experimental and numerical results will be discussed.

Experimental measurement of heat transfer coefficient and mass of deposited CaSO4 in subcooled flow boiling condition
Fouling is a common, fundamental and costly problem in heat transfer systems, which reduces thermal efficiency of equipment, increases the energy loss and causes strong damage to the heat transfer equipment in various industries. The main causes of fouling on the heat transfer surfaces are salts with inverse temperature-solubility in the fluid which calcium sulfate is one of the most important ...
متن کاملSimulation of Stresses Induced by Heat and Mass Transfer in Drying Process of Clay-like Material
Drying represents one of the oldest unit operations employed in industrial processes. Drying is viewed as a process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Porous Clay-like material undergoes stresses due to non-uniform distribution of temperature and moisture induced by heat and mass transfer respectively. The aim of this work is to simulate the stresses induced by heat and mass transfer durin...
