We can classify the flow of a fluid in a straight circular tube into either laminar or turbulent flow. It is assumed from here on that we assume fully developed incompressible, Newtonian, steady flow conditions. Fully developed flow implies that the tube is long compared with the entrance length in which the velocity distribution at the inlet adjusts itself to the geometry and no longer changes...

In this research, heat transfer enhancement and simultaneous effect of that on pressure drop inside condensers with twisted tape inserts are investigated. A refrigeration system is designed for attaining to maximum level of heat transfer with minimum pressure drop. The test condenser is a double pipe heat transformer with inner and outer diameter of 10.7mm and 12.7mm for internal pipe, respecti...

As a necessary component, regenerator plays an important role in the refrigeration performance of the pulse tube refrigerator. The objective of this research is to investigate the flow characteristics in a porous regenerator of the pulse tube refrigerators, subjected to oscillating flow. The hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of the regenerator is investigated by considering porous media approac...

A serious pathological condition is encountered when some blood constituents deposited on the blood vessels get detached from the wall, join the blood stream again and form a clot. The pulsatile flow for peristaltic transport of a fluid with suspended particles may be considered as a mathematical model for the blood flow. We study this model in a annular region with a clot inside it, under low ...

In this study, a coil heat exchanger with an ice storage system is analyzed by theoretical analysis, numerical analysis, and experimental analysis. The dynamic characteristics of ice thickness variation is studied by means of unstable heat conduction theory in cylindrical coordinates, and the change rule of the ice layer thickness is obtained. The computational fluid dynamics method is employed...

Conventional endotracheal tubes have high intrinsic resistive properties due to their high outer-to-inner diameter ratio. This has significant disadvantages in the treatment of the small neonatal or pediatric patient as work of breathing increases with decreasing internal radius. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including suctioning, may be very difficult in patients with small endotrache...
