In this paper the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase closed thermosyphon over a wide range of heat transfer rates, system pressure, aspect ratios and filling ratios were studied. The experiments focused on the boiling and condensation heat transfer characteristics of a thermosyphon with a copper tube having 25 and 32 mm inside and outside diameters. Distilled water was used as the wor...

Shrinking the engine has been a great interest for many years. Providing more amount of heat transfer may supply possibilities for size reduction in engine parts specifically the engine water jacket that is of concentration for the present study. Boiling phenomenon, by providing more amounts of heat transfer in comparison with single-phase, provides conditions for size reduction. In this paper ...

Flash memory is suitable for embedded devices because it offers small, non-volatile, impact-resistant and low power consumption. However, in flash memory, the speeds of the read, write, and erase operations are different. In addition, flash memory features hardware characteristics including erase-before-write. Therefore, a flash translation layer (FTL) is required to efficiently perform operati...

Background: the most common symptoms experienced by women are Hot flashes are around the time of menopause. Many women are interested in herbal medicines because of fear of side effect of Hormone therapy. Objective: In this study, we seek to assess the effectiveness of herbal medicine on the recurrence of hot flash in menopausal women. Methods: The database of MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Co...

The effects of dissolved air in the dielectric liquid FC-77 on flow boiling in a microchan-nel heat sink containing ten parallel channels, each 500 ␮m wide and 2.5 mm deep, were experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted before and after degas-sing, at three flow rates in the range of 30– 50 ml/ min. The dissolved air resulted in a significant reduction in wall temperature at which...

An experiment has been performed to utilize the wasted and disposed fish from White Nile River after simple heat treatments (Sun drying, roasting, direct boiling and indirect boiling) in layers’ rations from 19 up to 40 weeks to replace the imported concentrate with the levels of 0, 1.5, 3.5 and 5% for all heat treatments. The crude protein of treated fish was 50.75, 52.50, 50.55 and 50.05% for...

The composition shifts of multicomponent mixtures used in low temperature Joule-Thomson refrigerators due to the different solubility in lubricant oils are studied in this paper. A compound of squalane with a high-boiling point temperature is treated as a kind of mineral oil. The Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state (EOS) is selected to predict the solubilities, in which a group contribution mo...
