[ 1 ] - An Experimental and Theoretical Study of Freezing of Pure Aluminum

In this work, Boltzmann transform has been used to analyze the problem of freezing of pure Aluminum in semi-infinite domain. The uniqueness of solution (solidification front location) has been proved using the characteristics of the functions appeared in solution. The effect of density change on temperature distribution and errors resulting from ignoring this change have been investigated. The ...

[ 2 ] - Finite Volume Solution of a Cylinder in Cross Flow with Heat Transfer

A finite-volume model has been developed to study incompressible forced flow heat transfer of air over a circular cylinder in cross flow. An artificial compressibility technique is applied to couple the continuity to the momentum equations. The proposed explicit finite-volume method (FVM) uses a novel discretization in time and space. The governing equations are solved by time-marching using a ...

[ 3 ] - Combined Radiation and Natural Convection in Participating Laminar Flow Over a Vertical Circular Pin

The interaction of thermal radiation with conduction and laminar natural convection in a vertical circular pin, situated at participating gas, is numerically investigated. An absorbing and emitting gas is considered, and treated to be a gray participating media. Under the idealizing of gray gas, the Rosselan4 approximation is employed to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. ...

[ 4 ] - A Numerical Study of Natural Convection and Radiation Interaction in Vertical Circular Pin

A numerical finite difference study has been earned out for two dimensional radiation-natural convection interaction phenomena in a vertical circular pin located at a non-participating (i.e. transparent) fluid. The coupled conservation equations in boundary layer (continuity, momentum, and energy equations) and pin energy equation are solved simultaneously using modified box method and fully im...

[ 5 ] - Heat Transfer in a Column Packed With Spheres

The purpose of the study is to investigate average and local surface heat transfer coefficients in a cylinder packed with spheres. Here the term «local» applies to a single sphere within the bed. Averages are derived from the sixteen different spheres that were instrumented and distributed throughout the bed. The experimental technique consisted of introducing a step - wise change in the temper...

[ 6 ] - Flow and Pressure Distributions in Short Heat Exchanger Cores with Abrupt Entrance and Exit

The typical installation of a heat exchange device usually involves a flow contraction at the core entrance and a flow expansion at the core exit. Repeated flow Contraction and expansion are experienced in the flow passages of some compact heat exchangers. The latter refers to the flow passages in the plate-fin type with louvered fins or stripped fins and in the tubular type with dimpled-circul...
