In order to improve the efficiency and rate of heat transfer in heat exchangers, various techniques such as increasing the heat transfer coefficient are proposed. This study is devoted to the investigation of heat transfer coefficient variations due to the addition of CuO, TiO2 and CuO/TiO2 nanoparticles into a shell and tube heat exchanger. CuO/TiO2 nanocomposite was synthesized using mechanic...

Studies of radiation emissions from turbulent buoyant diffusion flames impinging on structural elements have applications to the development of fire models and estimation of structural integrity under large heat loads. An experimental and numerical study of radiation emissions from turbulent buoyant diffusion flames with and without impingement on a flat plate is reported. The steel plate was s...

Abstract A numerical scrutiny was performed to analyze the effect of driving forces on molten pool in gas metal arc welding. In addition basic governing equations required for a general heat and mass transfer analysis by computational fluid dynamics, volume-of-fluid equation free surface tracking additional conservation calculating distribution alloy elements were used. Driving forces—buoyancy,...

in order to examine the laminar convective heat transfer of nanofluid, experiments carried out using silver-oil nanofluid in a concentric annulus with outer constant heat flux as boundary condition. silver-oil nanofluid prepared by electrical explosion of wire technique and observed no nanoparticles agglomeration during nanofluid preparation process and carried out experiments. the average size...
