Interfacial tension is an important property for many processes such as enhanced oil recovery by gas injection and flow through porous media, and in mass and heat transfer applications. The objective of this study is to study four prevalent interfacial tension models along with their governing mechanisms. Also, Mechanistic Parachor model has been studied in comparison with Parachor Model. The t...

Practical and empirical equations of transport properties have been developed for refrigerant compounds. These equations have been used to develop correlations for experimental heat transfer coefficient (IITC) for both evaporation and condensation in smooth tubes. Model calculations have been compared with recent experimental data, and reasonable agreement has been obtained. INTRODUCTION We hav...

the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

Cooling plates in battery packs of electric vehicles play critical roles passive thermal management systems to reduce risks catastrophic runaway. In this work, a series numerical simulations and experiments are carried out unveil the role cooling (both between cells bottom plate parallel cell stack) on behavior modules under nail penetrations. First, we investigated side runaway propagation mit...
