in this paper, we have considered the problem of rotating, magnetohydrodynamic heat and mass transfer by free convective flow past an exponentially accelerated isothermal vertical plate in the presence of variable mass diffusion. while the temperature of the plate is constant, the concentration at the plate is considered to be a linear function with respect to time t. the plate is assumed to be...

The evaporation heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of HFC-161 in a horizontal smooth tube with an inside diameter of 9 mm was experimentally investigated. The local heat transfer coefficient and total pressure drop were measured at the heat flux ranging from 15 – 25 kW/m, the mass flux ranging from 100 – 200 kg/(m·s), and the evaporation temperature of 5, 10 °C. The experimental re...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...

In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

entry region of a rectangular microchannel is investigated. The wall heat flux is peripherally constant and varies exponentially with respect to the axis of the microchannel. The flow is assumed to be hydrodynamically fully developed. The three-dimensional energy conservation equation is solved numerically for different aspect ratios. Surface interaction parameters consist of momentum accommoda...

Laminar mixed convection of Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)–water nanofluid flow in an inclined annulus using a single-phase approach was numerically studied. Constant heat flux boundary conditions were applied on the inner and outer walls. All the thermophysical properties of nanofluid, such as, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient, except density in the bo...

Cryogen spray cooling (CSC) is used to protect the epidermis during dermatologic laser surgery. To date, the relative influence of the fundamental spray parameters on surface cooling remains incompletely understood. This study explores the effects of mass flow rate and average droplet velocity on the surface heat flux during CSC. It is shown that the effect of mass flow rate on the surface heat...

The influence of gas-surface interactions of a dilute gas confined between two parallel walls on the heat flux predictions is investigated using a combined Monte Carlo (MC) and molecular dynamics (MD) approach. The accommodation coefficients are computed from the temperature of incident and reflected molecules in molecular dynamics and used as effective coefficients in Maxwell-like boundary con...

in this paper, the conjugate gradient method coupled with adjoint problem is used in order to solve the inverse heat conduction problem and estimation of the time- dependent heat flux using the temperature distribution at a point in a three layer system with none homogeneous boundary conditions. also, the effect of noisy data on final solution is studied. for solving this problem the general co...

in the present work, graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method. the structure of graphene was then confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscope (tem) images. after that, mixed acid method (h2so4/hno3) was used to make the structure of synthesized graphenehydrophilic. in this method, carboxylate and hydroxide groups were linked to the edges of gr...
