1. Motivation and objectives Many industrial applications in such elds as aeronautical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental engineering involve complex turbulent ows containing global separations and subsequent reattachment zones. Accurate prediction of this phenomena is very important because separations innuence the whole uid ow and may have an even bigger impact on surface heat transfer. ...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract The Martilli's urban parameterization scheme is improved and implemented in a mesoscale model in order to take into account the typical effects of a real city on the air temperature near the ground and on the surface exchange fluxes. The mesoscale model i...

Taking the axial heat conduction of wax deposition layer into account, a two-dimensional heat transfer model of calculating the temperature profile inside wax deposition layer was deduced and established based on the energy balance equation, the finite difference method was used to solve this model, and the influence of axial heat conduction on the distribution law of temperature profile inside...

The present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. The present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are ...

Conjugate heat transfer problems are of importance in many engineering applications, since flows are usually confined by some material with heat transfer properties. Whenever there is a temperature difference between the fluid and solid, heat will be transfered and change the flow properties in a non-trivial way (Giles 1997; Henshaw & Chand 2009; Lindström & Nordström 2010; Roe et al. 2008). Th...

The bio-heat transfer equation is a macroscopic model for describing the heat transfer in microvascular tissue. So far the derivation of the Helmholtz term arising in the bio-heat transfer equation is not completely satisfactory. Here we use homogenization techniques to show that this term may be understood as asymptotic result of boundary value problems which provide a microscopic description ...

The human thermal comfort is the state of mind, which affected not only by physical and body’s internal physiological phenomena but also clothing properties such as resistance clothing, insulation, area factor, air relative humidity. In this work, we extend one-dimensional Pennes’ bioheat transfer equation adding protective layer. transient temperature profile with layer at different time steps...

In our previous paper, particle and temperature segregations in a fluidized bed of binary particle mixtures were experimentally examined, and heat transfer in the segregated fluidized bed was investigated. As the results, it was shown that the temperature segregation results mainly from low heat transfer coefficient through the interface layer, which exists between the flotsam-rich and jetsam-r...
