Extended surfaces are one of the most important approaches to increase the heat transfer rate. According to the Fourier law, the heat transfer increases by increasing the contact surface of body and fluid. In this study, the effect of heat transfer has been investigated on two sets of engineered porous fins, in which the balls with different materials are sintered together. The fluid flow throu...

In this article, stream flow effectivness is based on hydraulic network studied in the shell-side of a shell and tube heat exchange as a case study. For an appropriate heat exchangers rating design to meet a specified duty, it's better to consider each stream flow separately. Using the hydraulic network principals, a set of the correlations for calculating different stream flow rates in the cro...

  In this numerical study the the heat transfer and laminar nanofluid flow in the three-dimensional microchannels with triangular cross-section is simulated. For increase the heat transfer from the walls of the channel, semiattached & offset mid- truncated rib,s Placed in the canal, and the tooth geometry and the impact is studied. In this study, the water is base fluid, and the influence of th...

In the present study, the condensation and evaporation heat transfer performance of a zeotropic refrigerant mixture (HFC32/HFC125/HFC134a) inside horizontal tubes with smooth, grooved or cross·grooved inner surfaces was investigated experimentally. The cross-gTOoved tube showed the highest heat transfer coefficient for both condensation and evaporation with the zeotropic mixture. Its heat trans...

Convective heat transfer of MgO-water nanofluid in a microchannel heat sink is experimentally investigated in various concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.6 wt%. The microchannel consisted of 48 parallel rectangular cross section channels with the height of 800 µm, width of 524 µm and length of 52 mm. A well stability duration (ca. 1 month) was resulted by a 180 min ultra-sonication of the ...
