RISFreedom and Evolution: Hierarchy in Nature, Society and Science
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This is an exceptionally entertaining and engaging book about freedom and evolution, with the subtitle hierarchy in nature, society, and science. In his new book, Adrian Bejan covers a wide range of topics such as ...
Discussion of “A Multi-Objective Comprehensive Evaluation of Heat Transfer Performance of a Direct-Contact Heat Exchanger” (Li, B., Yang, P., Li, Z., Xu, J., and Wang, H., 2023, ASME J. Therm. Sci. Eng. Appl., 15(1), p. 011014)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The units of entransy dissipation (G) in Nomenclature are wrong. Also, an opinion on the concept of entransy is presented.
A Look on Fang Number
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a look on Fang number (Fa) is presented. The Fa was introduced recently in 2013 by Professor Xiande Fang to provide great facilitation in describing flow boiling heat transfer coefficients. It is defined as ...
Discussion: “Correlations for Prediction of Pressure Gradient of Liquid–Liquid Flow Through a Circular Horizontal Pipe†[Dasari, A., Desamala, A. B., Ghosh, U. K., Dasmahapatra, A. K., and Mandal, T. K., 2014, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 136(7), p. 071302]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The comments present an assessment of formulations for frictional pressure gradient correlation of moderately viscous lubricating oil–water twophase flow through a horizontal pipe of 0.025 m internal diameter, which was ...
Discussion: “An Experimental Study on Heat Transfer Surface Area of Wavy Fin Heat Exchangers†[Asadi, M., and Xie, G., 2014, J. Therm. Sci. Eng. Appl., 6(3), 031012]
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of the present discussion is drawing the attention of readers that there are other models in literature for pressure drop and heat transfer in air cooled compact wavyfin heat exchangers. These pressure drop and ...
A Note on Mixture Density Using the Shannak Definition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a note on mixture density using the Shannak definition of the Froude number is presented (Shannak, B., 2009, “Dimensionless Numbers for TwoPhase and Multiphase Flow,†Proceedings of the International ...
Discussion: “Entransy is Now Clearâ€
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of this discussion is to place in perspective the concept of entransy, in view of the critiques published by Grazzini et al. (2013, “Entropy Versus Entransy,†J. NonEquilib. Thermodyn., 38, pp. 259–271), ...
Heat Transfer From a Wedge to Fluids at Any Prandtl Number Using the Asymptotic Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heat transfer from a wedge to fluids at any Prandtl number can be predicted using the asymptotic model. In the asymptotic model, the dependent parameter Nux/Rex1/2 has two asymptotes. The first asymptote is Nux/Rex1/2Pr→0 ...
Discussion: “A Review and Parametric Investigation Into Nanofluid Viscosity Models†(Nwosu, P. N., Meyer, J., and Sharifpur, M., 2014, ASME J. Nanotechnol. Eng. Med., 5(3), p. 031008)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Nwosu et al. [1] mentioned the empirical model of Maأ¯ga et al. [2] for ethylene glycol (EG)–خ³Al2O3 nanofluid. It should be noted that Nwosu et al. [1] did not mention the empirical model of Maأ¯ga et al. [2] for ...
Discussion: “Effect of Porous Medium in Stagnation Point Flow of Ferrofluid Due to a Variable Convected Thicked Sheet” [ASME J. Heat Transfer, 2019, 141 (11), p. 112602]
