The heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of sandwiched metallic honeycomb structures, with one face-sheet heated by constant heat flux and cooled by forced air convection, have been investigated both experimentally and numerically. Six test samples, made of two materials with different thermal conductivities (16.2 W/(mK) for stainless steel and 401 W/(mK) for pure copper), were evalu...

Extended surfaces are one of the most important approaches to increase the heat transfer rate. According to the Fourier law, the heat transfer increases by increasing the contact surface of body and fluid. In this study, the effect of heat transfer has been investigated on two sets of engineered porous fins, in which the balls with different materials are sintered together. The fluid flow throu...

In internal combustion engines, exhaust valve and its seat gain considerable temperature as the hot gases exit through them. So, the rate of heat transfer should be under control. In this study, the contact heat transfer coefficient has been estimated. An experimental study on an Air-Cooled internal combustion engine cylinder head has been considered. Using the measured temperatures of sensors ...

In this paper, we have tried to find a solution for quick transfer of nuclear wastes from pools of cool water to dry stores to reduce the environmental concerns and financial cost of burying atomic waste. Therefore, the rate of heat transfer from atomic waste materials to the outer surface of the container should be increased. This can be achieved by covering the bottom of the pool space with c...

In this study, the behavior of nanoparticles using a numerical model is discussed. For this study a model for the expansion in free convection heat transfer and mix in a rectangular container with dimensions of 1 × 4 cm using Nano-aerosols in the air is going when copper nanoparticles, use and by changing the temperature difference between hot and cold wall, we will examine its impact on the ra...

this paper presents a numerical simulation of developing flow and heat transfer of a viscoelastic fluid in a rectangular duct. in fully developed flow of a viscoelastic fluid in a non-circular duct, secondary flows normal to the flow direction are expected to enhance the rate of heat and mass transfer. on the other hand, properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity, specific heat and rela...

Using heat shield, especially in throat area has a significant effect on combustion chamber pressure and thermal efficiency of solid fuel engines. Precise prediction of the regression of throat area for different pressures, will lead to optimal design of the motors, specifically for those of long burnout times. In this work, erosion of graphite nozzles employed in solid propellant motors with a...

In this paper, the cooling performance of water-cooled heat sinks for heat dissipation from electronic components is investigated numerically. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are carried out to study the rectangular and circular cross-sectional shaped heat sinks. The sectional geometry of channels affects the flow and heat transfer characteristics of minichannel heat sinks. T...
