In this study, for the first time, the heat transfer and the pressure drop of zinc oxide nanoparticles in alternating elliptical axis (AEA) tube have been investigated experimentally. The zinc oxide nanoparticles were at volumetric concentrations 1% and 2%. The base fluid was heat transfer oil and the experiments were conducted at constant wall temperature. Also, the study was done in Reynolds ...

    Given the need to increase the efficiency of heat transfer in thermal systems, especially systems using nanofluids in microscale and nanoscale heat transfer equipment ideas to improve their performance is very good.In present study, the flow and heat transfer of Water-Cu nanofluid in micro-tube with slip regime with constant wall heat flux numerically simulated with low Reynolds numbers. Sl...

muslims all over the world fast in the holy month of ramadan. fasting means abstinence from drinking any liquids, eating, smoking and taking anything parenterally.  it is intermittent in nature from the start of dawn to end at dusk. fasting has various physiological effects on different biological parameters of the human body. previous studies that look at effect of ramadan fasting on blood pre...

according to flexibility of pneumatic conveying systems with respect to other types of transmission systems, this system has wide application in industry and agriculture processes. one important application of this system is in the loading and unloading tankers and powdery bulk materials such as trucks carrying cement, plaster and sand. conveying efficiency is associated with pressure, which in...

The Performance of electric vehicle IGPT Pin fin heat sink can be measured by the temperature field and the fluid pressure and other parameters. In order to improve the cooling effect of Pin fin heat sink, diameter, length and distance of the fin was optimized combination. The relationship between pressure drop of the water inlet, outlet and pin fin parameters was analyzed and calculated. It wa...

Two phase gas-liquid flow pattern in a horizontal pipeline is predicted very accurately using a newly-developed analytical relation. The pattern identification is based on one of the most widely used graphs, the Baker diagram, modified in a way that compensates for the unrealistic oversimplifications of recent works. The Kern's method of pressure drop calculation is used to obtain the frict...

green fig, which is usually consumed as dry fruit, is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. in this study, some important physical properties of green figs including geometric mean diamter, sphericity, porosity, particle and bulk density and pressure drop across a thin bed were measured at constant moisture content of 6% (dry basis). air flow ranges used in this ...

in this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a pareto based multi-objective optimization (moo) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of tio2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. in this study there are four independent design variables: t...
