Abstract: In this study, fully developed flow parallel to ordered fibers is investigated analytically. The considered fibrous media are made up of in-line (square), staggered, and hexagonal arrays of ...

Abstract: Closed form solutions are presented for fully developed pressure driven slip-flow in straight microchannels of uniform noncircular cross-sections. To achieve this goal, starting from the general ...

Abstract: Using a thermal resistance approach, forced convection heat transfer through metal foam heat exchangers is studied theoretically. The complex microstructure of metal foams is modeled as a matrix ...

Abstract: In the present study, a compact analytical model is developed to determine the pressure drop of fully-developed, incompressible, and constant properties slip-flow through arbitrary cross section ...

Abstract: Passive heat transfer from enclosures with rectangular fins is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Several sample enclosures with various lengths are prepared and tested. To calibrate ...

Abstract: Circulation regions always exist in the settling tanks. These regions reduce the tank’s performance and decrease effective volume of the tank. Recirculation zones would also result in short-circuiting and high flow mixing ...

Abstract: Assuming uniform particulate deposit layer, with deposition layer thickness in the range of 10–400 μm, on the ligaments of a metal foam heat sink, the effects of airborne particle deposition ...

Abstract: Generally, the flow in settling tanks is stratified, but the effect of buoyancy force on the flow field depends on the inlet concentration of particles and flow bulk velocity. A common approach for increasing settling tanks ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for velocity and temperature distributions of laminar fully developed flow of Newtonian, constant property fluids in micro/minichannels of hyperelliptical and ...
