a mathematical model of a continuous reheating furnace has been developed to identify the design and operating parameters that significantly affect furnace performance. in this study, the furnace is modeled 3 dimensionally and themonte carlomethod is used to find the overall absorption factor. the overall absorption factor is then used to calculate the energy balance for furnace walls, the gas,...

This paper examines the forced convection flow of incompressible, electrically conducting viscous fluid past a sharp wedge in the presence of heat generation or absorption with an applied magnetic field. The system of partial differential equations governing Falkner Skan wedge flow and heat transfer is first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations using similarity transform...

Anomalous heat absorption was observed in a closed Pd|D2O electrolysis system by Calvet calorimetry. The average excess power was – 14.6 mW over 105 hours period, which corresponds to a volume excess power of – 10.3 W/cm Pd and heat absorption of 3.81 MJ/cm Pd or 350 eV/atom Pd.

A hybrid heat pump cycle of the heat amplifier type integrating a booster compressor between the generator and the condenser for distributed heating is simulated and analyzed. The interrelation between the two sub-cycles and the hybridization principle are explored. The theoretical analysis is demonstrated by a H2O/LiBr based hybrid cycle simulation. Investigation of the interaction mechanisms ...

A recent thermodynamic model describes a reversible reaction between cholesterol (C) and phospholipid (P) to form a condensed complex C(nq)P(np). Here q and p are relatively prime integers used to define the stoichiometric composition, and n is a measure of cooperativity. The present study applies this model to the scanning calorimetry of binary mixtures of cholesterol and saturated phosphatidy...

Internal radiation was investigated using the finite volume method for the heat exchanger method (HEM) growth of oxide crystals. Special attention was devoted to the temperature and thermal stress distributions in the bottom region of the grown crystal at the end of the solidification process. The numerical results show that internal radiation strongly strengthens heat transport through the cry...
