thermal resistance of the external walls of buildings is highly important for reducing and optimizing the energy consumption needed for heating and cooling the buildings. identifying and evaluation of the thermal performance of common external wall systems can be very effective in improving the heat resistance. the hollow clay- block system extremely are in use in the iran construction system, ...

force convection heat transfer of turbulent nano fluid flow in 90 and 60 degree elbow is simulated by using fluent. single phase model has been implemented to study such a flow field and standard

paint cure oven is one of the most important parts of automobile production line. the cure speed and the magnitude of energy consumption are significant in auto manufacturing industry. the radiation oven has been of the interest by cure industry due to the reduction in energy consumption and appropriate cure. the design process of these ovens is really complex specially for bodies with complex ...

in this paper, natural convection heat transfer over a vertical plate in a darcy porous medium saturated with a nanofluid subject to heat generation/absorption was theoretically studied. the governing partial differential equations were transformed to a set of ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations and solved using finite difference method. the influence of parametric ...

Nanofluid is a new class of heat transfer fluids engineered by dispersing metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles with a typical size of less than 100 nm in the conventional heat transfer fluids.This article aims to investigate the overall and convection heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number of Al2O3-water nanofluid flowing in a horizontal double pipe heat exchanger under turbulent flow (...

natural convection heat transfer has many applications in different fields of industry; such as cooling industries, electronic transformer devices and ventilation equipment; due to simple process, economic advantage, low noise and renewed retrieval. recently, heat transfer of nanofluids have been considered because of higher thermal conductivity coefficient compared with those of ordinary fluid...

Three dimensional studies of convection in deep spherical shells have been used to test the hypothesis that the strong jet streams on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune result from convection throughout the molecular envelopes. Due to computational limitations, these simulations must be performed at parameter settings far from Jovian values and generally adopt heat fluxes 5–10 orders of magni...

[1] Enceladus’ south polar region has a large heat flux, 55–110 mW m , that is spatially associated with cryovolcanic and tectonic activity. Tidal dissipation and vigorous convection in the underlying ice shell are possible sources of heat, however, prior predictions of the heat flux carried by stagnant lid convection range from Fconv 15 to 30 mW m , too low to explain the observed heat flux.
