High-quality single crystals of Lu2Fe3Si5 and Sc2Fe3Si5 are grown by the floatingzone method, and their temperature dependences of specific heat are measured down to 0.35 K. Both compounds show anomalously small jump in specific heat at the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, and large residual specific heat coefficient even at 0.2Tc, where BCS superconductor shows negligible electronic...

In this paper, Turbulent mixed convective heat transfer of water and Al2O3 nanofluid has been numerically studied in a horizontal tube under non-uniform heat flux on the upper wall and insulation in the lower wall using mixture model. For the discretization of governing equations, the second-order upstream difference scheme and finite volume method were used. The coupling of pressure and veloci...

A nanofluid is mixture of nano sized particles and a base fluid. This paper investigates by using laboratory based double pipe heat exchanger model, the performance of nanofluid containing about 48.46nm  particle size nanoparticles (ZnO) without or with addition of nonionic surfactant Rokanol K7 (500ppm) into the base fluid double distilled water to prepared three different concentrations 1.0%,...

In this research article a comprehensive investigation has been carried out to determine the effect of thermal cycle on temperature dependent process parameters developed during gas tungsten arc (GTA) welding of high carbon (AISI 1090) steel butt joints. An experiment based thermal analysis has been performed to obtain the thermal history. We have focused on different thermophysical properties ...

In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

The effect of heat transfer on peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid through a porous medium in a two dimensional flexible channel was studied under long wave length approximation. A Closed form of expressions is derived in terms of wall slope parameter for axial velocity, temperature and heat transfer coefficient using perturbation method. The effects of pertinent parameters of interest on...

To learn about cooling of gas quenched batches, this paper reports on numerical predictions of local and average convective heat transfer coefficients, and overall pressure drops, on batches of five axially aligned, constant temperature, short cylindrical disks 25 cm diameter, 5 cm thickness with and without a concentric hole, with interdisk spacings of 5–20 cm, in axial turbulent flows of 20 b...
