Abstract: The thermal boundary layer over a semi-infinite flat plate is investigated. For time t < 0 there is the Blasius boundary layer and no thermal boundary layer. At t = 0, a temperature ...

Abstract: Tubes within tube and shell heat exchangers are supported at intermediate points by plates. Flow-induced vibration can cause tubes to impact and rub against these supports, or other tubes, and ...

Abstract: A theoretical study on the air flow and temperature in the heat receiver, affected by free convection, of a Stirling Engine for a Dish/Stirling Engine Power System is presented. The standard ...

Abstract: In this paper a second level mathematical model for the computational simulation of the working process of a 1-kW Stirling engine has been used and the results obtained are presented. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a review of the current situation in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of fuel cells and highlights the significant challenges that lie ahead in the development ...

Abstract: The modeling of an intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been presented. The results show that a well trained and well tested ...

Abstract: This paper reviews some of the previous research works on direct visualization of water behavior inside proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells using a transparent single cell. Several papers ...

Abstract: The influence of the shape of the downstream edge of trench film cooling hole outlets on film cooling effectiveness was investigated using CFD for flat plate film cooling. A 90 deg trench outlet wall with impinging 30 deg ...

Abstract: In this paper the fluid flow through some composite channels has been investigated in the physical parameter ranges appropriate to some flows in geological applications. In particular, we have ...
