The flow and heat transfer characteristics of a closed-loop cooling system with a mini-channel heat sink for thermal management of electronics is studied experimentally. The heat sink is designed with corrugated fins to improve its heat dissipation capability. The experiments are performed using variable coolant volumetric flow rates and input heating powers. The experimental results show a hig...

One of the concepts in restructuring the electric power industry is the ability to accurately and rapidly quantify the power transfer so-called as the available transfer capability (ATC). Accurate identification of ATC provides vital information for both planning and operation of the bulk power market in reserving transmission services. There are various methods used to determine ATC such as th...

in this study, thermal performance of a cylindrical heat pipe is investigated numerically. three different types of water based nanofluids, namely (al2o3+water), (diamond+water) and (multi-wall carbon nano tube (mwcnt) +water) have been used. the influence of using the simple nanofluids and mwcnt nanofluid on the heat pipe characteristics such as liquid velocity, pressure profile, temperature p...
