Abstract: The use of porous media (PM) to improve conductive heat transfer has been at the focus of interest in recent years. Limited studies, however, have focused on heat transfer in radial heat sinks (RHSs) fully and partially ...

Abstract: The current research employed computational simulation to assess magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) natural convection in an L-shaped container with a metal foam, which has a variety of engineering applications. The originality of ...

Abstract: There is generally limited guidance available on the optimum clamping method for the diaphragms used in the synthetic jet actuators (SJAs). This paper describes the effects of clamping methods (O-rings, neoprene rubber ...

Abstract: To quantify the benefits of reducing entropy production and improving hydrothermal performance with varied thermal air characteristics through different perforated heat sinks, a numerical study was conducted. Various numbers ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations of the flows inside helically coiled pipe are difficult and may also be expensive, particularly for small diameters. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages, which can easily construct the ...
