Condensing boilers use waste heat from flue gases to pre-heat cold water entering the boiler. Flue gases are condensed into liquid form, thus recovering their latent heat of vaporization, which results in as much as 10%–12% increase in efficiency. Modeling these heat transfer phenomena is crucial to control this equipment. Despite the many approaches to the condensing boiler modeling, the follo...

in this numerical study the the heat transfer and laminar nanofluid flow in the three-dimensional microchannels with triangular cross-section is simulated. for increase the heat transfer from the walls of the channel, semiattached & offset mid- truncated rib,s placed in the canal, and the tooth geometry and the impact is studied. in this study, the water is base fluid, and the influence of the ...

Fluid flow and heat transfer of viscoelastic materials in noncircular duct are complicated subject because of nonlinear behavior of rheological properties. In this paper flow and heat transfer of CEF fluids are studied with numerical modeling. Numerical solution is based on the artificial compressibility method and by using staggered mesh. The effect of secondary flows on the forced and natural...

We consider the problem of identifying a nonlinear heat transfer law at the boundary, or of the temperature-dependent heat transfer coefficient in a parabolic equation from boundary observations. As a practical example, this model applies to the heat transfer coefficient that describes the intensity of heat exchange between a hot wire and the cooling water in which it is placed. We reformulate ...

In the present work, the effects of chemical reaction on hydromagnetic natural convection flow of Casson nanofluid induced due to nonlinearly stretching sheet immersed in a porous medium under the influence of thermal radiation and convective boundary condition are performed numerically. Moreover, the effects of velocity slip at stretching sheet wall are also examined in this study. The highly ...

introduction: frying phenomena occur during the immersion of the product in oil at a temperature of 150–200 ºc, where a simultaneous heat and mass transfer take place. this is the most popular thermal processes of potato cooking. this fast drying is critical to improve the mechanical and structural properties of the final product. these conditions lead to high heat transfer rates, rapid cooking...

This analysis is performed to study the momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of MHD mixed convective flow past inclined porous plate in porous medium, including the effect of fluid suction. The fluid is assumed to be steady, incompressible and dense. Similarity solution is used to transform the problem under consideration into coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations which are the...

Using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. Use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. In this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...
