The heat and mass transfer analysis for MHD Casson fluid boundary layer flow over a permeable stretching sheet through a porous medium is carried out. The effect of non-uniform heat generation/absorption and chemical reaction are considered in heat and mass transport equations correspondingly. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two different heating processes namely; the prescr...

This paper examines through a thermodynamic analysis the feasibility of using waste heat from marine Diesel engines to drive an ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system. An energy balance of a diesel engine shows that sufficient waste heat is provided. The results illustrate that higher performance of the system is obtained at high generator and evaporator temperatures and also at low cond...

 provision of large, stress-bearing area  excellent fatigue strength  good shock absorption  reduced galvanic corrosion  no need to have access to far-side of adherend to make joint  bonding is possible on dissimilar materials  provision of smooth contours and sections around joint areas  sealing  improved damping which increases structural stiffness  reduction in distortion and metal...

Experimental investigation of electron-ion coupling and electron heat capacity of copper in warm and dense states are presented. From time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy, the temporal evolution of electron temperature is obtained for non-equilibrium warm dense copper heated by an intense femtosecond laser pulse. Electron heat capacity and electron-ion coupling are inferred from the init...

Laser plasma is modeled by Lagrangian hydrodynamical equations including heat conductivity and laser absorption. The hyperbolic part of the model is treated by Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method which avoids moving mesh distortion and parabolic heat conductivity part is treated by splitting and mimetic method. High velocity laser accelerated disc impact problems for which standard Lagra...

With the evolution of electricity market transformation, there is a renewed interest in distributed generation (DG)—that has a promising role for mitigating technical, regulatory, and environmental constraints in the electricity sector. These benefi ts are further enhanced with the ability of such DG in heat recovery applications in which the waste heat is used to produce hot water, heat buildi...

The authors propose a solar cooling system employing a steam-driven triple effect absorption chiller as a new technique for saving CO2 emission in the air conditioning field. The absorption chiller is a cooling machine using thermal energy as a drive source, and it is ideal for utilizing solar heat. In addition, by employing a triple effect absorption chiller of high efficiency, a high energy s...

In this work, through investigating a series of liquid, glassy, and crystalline samples with ultrafast multiple-mode 2D IR and IR transient absorption methods, we demonstrated that the signal anisotropy of vibrational relaxation-induced heat effects is determined by both relative molecular orientations and molecular rotations. If the relative molecular orientations are randomized or molecular r...
