RISOptimum Dimensions of Extended Surfaces Operating in a Convective Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article is devoted to the review of the literature on optimum dimensions of extended surfaces losing heat by pure convection to the surroundings. The review covers straight (longitudinal) ...
Performance of a Convectively Heated Rectangular Fin With a Step Change in Cross-Sectional Area and Losing Heat by Simultaneous Convection and Radiation (Step Fins Under Radiation Environment)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical procedure has been used to study the thermal performance of a step convective-radiative fin with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and convective base heating. An analytical ...
Laminar Natural Convection From an Isothermal Vertical Surface to Pseudoplastic and Dilatant Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical study of natural convective heat transfer from a vertical isothermal surface to pseudoplastic and dilatant fluids. The analysis calculates the average ...
Mixed Convection From a Convectively Heated Vertical Plate to a Fluid With Internal Heat Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical approach has been adopted to study steady mixed convection from the right face of a vertical plate of finite thickness. Cold fluid flowing over the right face of the plate contains ...
Transient Heat Transfer in Extended Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive, coherent, and methodical review of the existing literature on the transient performance of extended surfaces (fins). With the exception of very ...
Perturbation Techniques in Phase Change Heat Transfer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat transfer with change of phase (freezing or melting) is important in numerous scientific and engineering applications. Since the pioneering works of Neumann and Stefan, a number of analytical ...
Equilibrium Model for Cadmium Adsorption by Green Algae in a Batch Reactor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports the results of a study on the equilibrium behavior of cadmium adsorption by a tropical, indigenous single-cell algal species, identified as
Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Analysis of the In-Cylinder Flow of Gasoline Direct Injection Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intake generated flows are known to have a fundamental influence on the combustion both in spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition engines. This study experimentally investigated the tumble flow structures inside a ...
Basis for Extending Long-Term Streamflow Forecasts in the Colorado River Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The National Weather Service (NWS) maintains a collection of computer models used to perform various functions for managing the rivers of the United States. One function of the NWS's river forecast centers is to provide ...
Effect of Acidogenic Stage on Aerobic Toxic Organic Removal
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A laboratory investigation explored treatment of wastewaters containing nitrobenzene, biphenyl, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by two aerobic reactors, with and without acidogenic pretreatment. A sequencing ...
