Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...

bubble columns are gas- liquid contactors that are widely used in chemical and bio- chemical industries. high mixing that result in high heat and mass transfer rates are amongst their advantages. heat transfer in a bubble column having a bundle of heaters investigated and the variation of heat transfer coefficient with variation in heaters pitch to diameter ratios in a bundle of heaters reporte...

the use of solar collectors in combination with heat pipes is rapidly growing in recent years.heat pipes, as heat transfer components, have undeniable advantages in comparison with other alternatives. the most important advantage is their high rate of heat transfer at minor temperature differences. although there have been numerous studies on the heat analysis or first thermodynamic analysis of...

This study commences by performing an experimental investigation to measure the temperature distribution within a casting system comprising a cylindrical aluminum casting and a green-sand mold. The experimental temperature measurements are then used to compute the effective heat transfer coefficient at the mold/metal interface using four different formulae. In the temperature measurement, a sym...

Sometimes the need for non-circular ducts arises in many heat transfer applications because of lower pressure drop of non-circular cross section such as square duct compared to circular tube, particularly in compact heat. But square cross section has poor heat transfer performance and it is expected that using a nanofluid as a new heat transfer media may improve the heat transfer performance of...

helical coil heat exchangers are widely used in industrial applications ranging fromcryogenic processes, air-conditioning, and nuclear reactors to waste heat recovery due totheir compact size and high heat transfer coefficient. in this kind of heat exchangers, flowand heat transfer are complicated. this paper reports a numerical investigation of theinfluence of different parameters such as coil...

in this paper, a numerical solution of an inverse non-dimensional heat conduction problem by spline method will be considered. the given heat conduction equation, the boundary condition, and the initial condition are presented in a dimensionless form. a set of temperature measurements at a single sensor location inside the heat conduction body is required. the result show that the proposed meth...

an investigation has been carried out on the temperature of a biscuit on the cooling line of razavi food industries company. for thispurpose, the time variations of biscuit’s top surface temperature in traveling from oven to packing station on the conveyor packing station by conveyors has been studied. the fourier field equation for transient heat transfer is used as the basis for the determini...
