To study the anomalous heat effect of Nibased binary-metal-nano-powder samples by gas-phase hydrogen isotope absorption/desorption, three kinds of samples CNZ, CNZ-II and NZ were tested for the temperature range 300-573 K. The highest excess heat power, ca. 2W/g-Ni was obtained with CNZ at 573 K. Peculiar H(D)-isotopic effect and sudden heat sink by abrupt H(D)-desorption were observed. The hea...

In this work, slip flow of helium gas has been studied in a three dimensional rectangular microchannel heat sink with 11 microchannel and 10 rectangular fins. Helium gas flow is considered ideal and incompressible. The finite volume method with using coupled algorithm is employed to carry out the computation. To validate the present work, comparison with numerical and experimental studies is do...

A theoretical investigation is performed for studying the flow of heat transfer characteristics of Sakiadis and Blasius flow of magnetohydrodynamic Maxwell fluid with thermal radiation. We also incorporated the Cattaneo-Chirstov heat flux model to control the heat transfer phenomena. Numerical solutions are carried out by using Shooting technique. The effects of various governing parameters on ...

This study presents the numerical simulation of optimum pin-fin heat sink with air impinging cooling by using Taguchi method. 9 L ( 4 3 ) orthogonal array is selected as a plan for the four design-parameters with three levels. The governing equations are discretized by using the control-volume-based-finite-difference method with a power-law scheme on the non-uniform staggered grid. We solved th...

In automotive fluids, hydraulic, gear, and bearing oils, as well in applications operating extremely high or cold temperatures, PAO is widely employed. present work, we have made an attempt to develop a mathematical model discuss the flow of magnetized [Formula: see text] nanolubricant over inclined rotating disk Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium with Thompson Troian slip at boundary. The effects...

An experimental facility is developed to investigate critical heat flux (CHF) of saturated flow boiling of Refrigerant-123 (R-123) in microchannels. Six parallel Microchannels with cross sectional area of 0.2 mm × 0.2 mm are fabricated on a copper block, and a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cover is then placed on top of the copper block to serve as a transparent cover through which flow patterns and...

This article experimentally investigates the thermal performance of thermoelectric air-cooling module which comprises a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and an air-cooling heat sink. The influences of input current and heat load are determined. And performances under each situation are quantified by thermal resistance analysis. Since TEC generates Joule heat, this nature makes construction of therma...
