Modern computer processors require significant cooling to achieve their full performance. The “efficiency” of heat sinks is also becoming more important: cooling of electronics consumes 1% of worldwide electricity use by some estimates. Unfortunately, current cooling technologies often focus on improving heat transfer at the expense of efficiency. The present work focuses on a unique, compact, ...

This paper is a review of research work of last few years on heat transfer growth in offset-strip fin heat exchangers. It features a broad discussion on the application of enhanced heat transfer surfaces to offset strip fin heat exchangers. In this paper we are discussing 2D & 3D Analysis in OSF, Experimental & investigating research on OSFs, Analytical model to predict the heat transfer coeffi...

Nanofluids, in which nano-sized particles (typically less than 100 nm) are suspended in liquids, have emerged as a possible effective way of improving the heat transfer performance of common fluids. In this paper a numerical study is performed to analyze the wall shear stress and heat transfer coefficient of γAl2O3-water nanofluids under laminar forced convection through a circular pipe. It is ...

In this paper, the Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in laminar and turbulent flows inside tubes fitted with diamond-shaped turbulators is numerically modeled. The nanofluid flow is modeled by employing a two-phase mixture method and applying the constant heat flux boundary condition at tube walls. In the results, the effects of different parameters such as the geometry of turbulators, volume fraction...

Oocyte cryopreservation is of key importance in the preservation and propagation of germplasm. Interest in oocyte cryopreservation has increased in recent years due to the application of assisted reproductive technologies in farm animals such as in vitro fertilization, nuclear transfer and the need for the establishment of ova/gene banks worldwide. However, the cryopreservation of the female ga...

This study investigated the heat problems that occur during the operation of power batteries, especially thermal runaway, which usually take place in high temperature environments. The study was conducted on a ternary polymer lithium-ion battery. In addition, a lumped parameter thermal model was established to analyze the thermal behavior of the electric bus battery system under the operation c...

The CFD simulation of heat transfer characteristics of a nanofluid ina circular tube under convective heat transferwas considered using the fluentsoftware (version 6.3.26) in the laminar flow. Al2O3nano- particles in water with concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% were studied in the simulation. All thermo-physical properties of nanofluids were temperature independent. It was concluded t...
