Abstract: This study uses a methodology based on the calculus of variation to determine the heat transfer in passages with two-dimensional velocity fields such as rectangular channels and in the presence ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a generalized analytical procedure for transient heat conduction in composite materials of two- and three-dimensional finite region. The Galerkin method is employed to obtain ...

Abstract: Heat transfer enhancement in a thermal storage system consisting of vertically arranged fins between a heated and cooled horizontal finned-tube arrangement is reported. The high thermal expansion ...

Abstract: Exact series solutions for three-dimensional temperature distribution in two-layer bodies subject to various types of boundary conditions are presented. Special consideration is given to the case ...

Abstract: A constant heat transfer coefficient is often assumed in the computation of the temperature distribution along an extended surface. This assumption permits the use of a well-established closed ...

Abstract: Double-exposure holographic interferometry with crystals of iron-doped lithium niobate as the storage material is applied to study heat transfer from electronic chips. These crystals are self-developing, ...

Abstract: A general theory is devised for determining the temperature and heat flux at the surface of a solid when the temperature at an interior location is a prescribed function of time. The theory ...

Abstract: Experimental and analytical studies are reported for a Newtonian fluid in a partially-filled cylinder rotating about its centerline axis at constant angular speeds. Two fluids, glycerin and water, ...

Abstract: Microprocessors continue to grow in capabilities, complexity, and performance. Microprocessors typically integrate functional components such as logic and level two cache memory in their architecture. ...
