The first direct experimental evidence of the suppression of quasi-two-dimensional turbulence by mean flows is presented. The flow either is induced externally or appears in the process of spectral condensation due to an inverse cascade in bounded turbulence. The observed suppression of large scales is consistent with an expected reduction in the correlation time of turbulent eddies due to shea...

We propose inflow and outflow boundary conditions to handle the airflow through the upper part of bronchial tree-like domains. This approach is based on a condensation of the part of the domain which is geometrically complex by using the linearity of the flow through a net of ducts with small diameters with respect to the pressure jumps. We show that the boundary conditions we obtain lead to a ...

This paper reports on a rapid new method for in-situ sol-gel deposition of silica layers in PDMS microchannels. A two-step process is used; first allowing TEOS to diffuse briefly into the channel, followed by acid catalysed hydrolysis and condensation. The silica coating results in an increased and stabilised electroosmotic flow. With this novel method there is no need for pretreatment of the m...

The steady three-dimensional flow of condensation or spraying on inclined spinning disk is studied analytically. The governing nonlinear equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The series solution of the problem is obtained by utilizing the homotopy perturbation method HPM . The velocity and temperature pro...

We analyze the condensation phase transitions in out-of-equilibrium complex networks in a unifying framework which includes the nonlinear model and the fitness model as its appropriate limits. We show a novel phase structure which depends on both the fitness parameter and the nonlinear exponent. The occurrence of the condensation phase transitions in the dynamical evolution of the network is de...

An indirect evaporative cooling system combining with thermoelectric technology (i.e., TIEC system) is proposed, in which a counter-flow plate-fin cooler inserted TEC) modules. In hot and humid climate, condensation may occur on the dry channel surface of cooler. For system, aid TEC technology, temperature can be much lower than that traditional cooler, thus, from primary air more likely to tak...

The jumping-droplet phenomenon occurring on superhydrophobic (SHPhob) surfaces under special conditions may be beneficial for numerous systems using condensation, due to the reported increased heat transfer coefficients. One technique create a SHPhob surface is coating, which can applied larger areas of existing elements. However, challenges are associated with coating stability and realization...

Abstract Due to the phase-out of CFCs and HCFC refrigerants, propane is a nature refrigerant occurring substance produced by natural gas production oil refining. As result, has higher latent heat lower density than conventional refrigerants while maintaining comparable saturation pressure thermal conductivity. So, already widely used in domestic fridges freezers for many years. However, propane...
