In this study, thermal performance across straight convecting- radiating fin with temperature dependent thermal conductivity is considered. The variation of parameters (VPM) is adopted to analyze the nonlinear higher order differential equations arising due to thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient on temperature distribution. Pertinent parameters such as thermo geometric and radiat...

Two new species of Hymenocephalus are described from the New Zealand region and Tasman Sea. Hymenocephalus fuscus sp. n. has 11-12 pelvic fin rays, is darkly pigmented, with enlarged bony ridges on the dorsal aspects of head, lacks a chin barbel, has few (16-19) gill rakers on inner side of first arch and is similar to other species in the H. aterrimus species group. Hymenocephalus maculicaudus...

Small minimum temperature approach, large surface area per volume, high heat transfer efficiency and possibility of handling several streams of multi-stream plate-fin heat exchangers lead to more heat recovery and smaller heat exchanger size. Therefore, plate-fin heat exchangers have been applied extensively in sub-ambient processes. However, one major difficulty in optimising the design of pla...

In this study, a practical combined approach was applied by the Gaver-Stehfest method to examine impermanent reaction of spiral fin whose tip is isolated with base exposed changes in fluid temperature. The heat transmission under stable temperature effect examined. environment saved stationary and no source or sink available. Results are improved for minor- major -time worth when unit step vari...

In this study, we analysed the thermal performance, thermal stability and optimum design analyses of a longitudinal, rectangular fin with temperature-dependent, thermal properties and internal heat generation under multi-boiling heat transfer using Haar wavelet collocation method. The effects of the key and controlling parameters on the thermal performance of the fin are investigated. The therm...

An analytical solution to the transient heat conduction for a two dimensional cylindrical fin with general boundary conditions is obtained by the principle of superposition and separation variables. In the analysis, homogeneous material properties and thickness, the convective heat transfer coefficient, the ambient temperature and the fin properties are assume to be constant. The closed form tr...

When amputated, the fins of adult zebrafish rapidly regenerate the missing tissue. Fin regeneration proceeds through several stages, including wound healing, establishment of the wound epithelium, recruitment of the blastema from mesenchymal cells underlying the wound epithelium, and differentiation and outgrowth of the regenerate. We screened for temperature-sensitive mutations that affect the...

Fishes have an enormous diversity of body shapes and fin morphologies. From a hydrodynamic standpoint, the functional significance of this diversity is poorly understood, largely because the three-dimensional flow around swimming fish is almost completely unknown. Fully three-dimensional volumetric flow measurements are not currently feasible, but measurements in multiple transverse planes alon...

In the present paper, natural convection fluid flow and heat transfer in a square cavity heated from below and cooled from sides and the ceiling with a thin fin attached to its hot bottom wall is investigated numerically. The right and the left walls of the cavity, as well as its horizontal top wall are maintained at a constant temperature Tc, while the bottom wall is kept at a constant tempera...

We study the efficiency of shrinking/stretching radiative fins to improve heat transfer rate. To evaluate competence suggested fins, influence shrinking/stretching, thermogeometric parameters, surface temperature, convection conduction, radiation and Peclet number is investigated. The problem solved numerically using a shooting method. validate numerical solution, results are compared with solu...
