Based on the model of battery temperature rising established, several kinds of temperature rising processes are analyzed by means of numerical simulation including heat dissipation by natural convection without fin or with fin and forced convection with fin. The comparison and analysis are made for temperature rising process about their temperatures of center and across section plane. It shows ...

Since a large number of physical parameters influence the flame dynamics in a full scale gas turbine combustor, it is virtually impossible to develop physically correlated reduced order models for flame dynamics by directly studying these complex reacting flows. Even the Rijke tube combustor system, though comprising of a simple geometry and a flat flame, shows a strong nonlinear coupling betwe...

to increase agricultural crops’ quality and to minimize losses in the final product and used energy during the drying process, major drying system parameters should be continuously controlled. precise control of such parameters is attained by using automatic control systems. to optimize the overall dryer efficiency in a forced convective solar dryer, a controller was designed, constructed a...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

It is shown that laminar thermal convection can drive a chain reaction of DNA replication. The convection is triggered by a constant horizontal temperature gradient, moving molecules along stationary paths between hot and cold regions. This implements the temperature cycling for the classical polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplification is shown to be exponential and reaches 100,000-fold ...

Magnetohydrodynamic mixing of two fluids in an annular microchannel is modelled as a twodimensional, laminar, convection-diffusion problem, and examined using asymptotic analysis and numerical simulation. The time T required for mixing of a plug of solute depends on the Peclét number Pe, and on the geometry of the annulus. Three scaling regimes are identified: purely diffusive, Taylordispersive...

in this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. in numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. in single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. effects of volume fraction a...
