Forced convective condensation in vertical channel is investigated numerically. The condensation boundary layers that occur due to temperature difference between the walls and saturation temperature of steam is simulated by the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The effect of variations in the hydraulic diameter, steam velocity, Re number and temperature difference between the wall and saturation te...

In this study, a periodic zigzag channel with rectangular cross-section has been used in order to obtain a high-efficiency system for cooling a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. An appropriate function of fuel cells and enhancement of their lifetime require uniform temperature conditions of around 80°C. On the other hand, due to volume and weight constraints, a low-density compact heat exchanger i...

The channel capacity of the indoor multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is investigated with consideration of the effects of the wall by using a hybrid method of the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and the method of moments (MoM). Firstly, the effects of wall material on indoor MIMO channel capacity are investigated according to the physical parameters of the wall, i.e. the ...

In this paper, a modified two-fluid model has been adopted to simulate the process of upward vertical subcooled flow boiling of refrigerant R-113 in a vertical annular channel at low pressure. The modified model considers temperature dependent properties and saturation temperature variation and was validated against a number of published low-pressure subcooled boiling experiments. The results s...

As part of a comparative study of the cell wall of corynebacteria, a channel-forming protein was characterized in Corynebacterium amycolatum, a species devoid of corynemycolic acids. Corynebacterium amycolatum cells were disrupted and the cell envelope subjected to two different separation procedures, differential centrifugation to separate the different fractions of the cell envelope, and sucr...
