Heat transfer including heat conduction, thermal convection, and radiation is a major transport process that occurs in various engineering natural systems such as exchangers, solar collectors, nuclear reactors, atmospheric boundary layers, electronical biomedical systems, others [...]

[1] Atmospheric aerosols produce both a direct radiative forcing by scattering and absorbing solar and infrared radiation, and an indirect radiative forcing by altering cloud processes. Therefore, it is essential to understand the physical processes that contribute to the global aerosol budget. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that mineral dust contributes to 1/3 of all ...

Passive cooling of electronics systems requires the use fins and spines. Improved heat transfer enhancements in have been achieved through porosity, magnetic field, functionally graded materials, etc. However, space time-dependent analysis passive device with inherent nonlinearities explorations conditions at tip not fully presented. Therefore, this work presents an application hybrid computati...

The theoretical predictions derived in Part I of this study for the equilibrium fluctuations of an idealized ensemble of noninteracting, pointlike cumulus clouds are tested against three-dimensional cloud resolving model (CRM) simulations of radiative–convective equilibrium. Simulations with different radiative cooling rates are used to give a range of cloud densities, while imposed vertical wi...

Convective cloud clusters are responsible for most of the rainfall and cloudiness over the tropics, therefore modulating the radiative heating and cooling rates of the surface and atmosphere and influencing the large-scale circulation and moisture distribution. Therefore, understanding how and why tropical convection organizes is important for understanding both tropical and global climate vari...

The physical mechanisms that affect the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) are investigated using a twobox equilibrium model of the Tropics. One box represents the convecting, warm SST, high humidity region of the Tropics, and the other box represents the subsidence region with low humidity, boundary layer clouds, and cooler SST. The two regions communicate by energy and moisture fluxes tha...
