Abstract: A new alltime model is developed to predict transient laminar forced convection heat transfer inside a circular tube under arbitrary timedependent heat flux. Slug flow (SF) condition is assumed for the velocity profile ...

Abstract: In this study, the performance evaluation and optimization of a recently developed battery-powered vehicle air conditioning (BPVAC) system is investigated. A mathematical model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic ...

Abstract: Steadystate external natural convection heat transfer from interrupted rectangular vertical walls is investigated. A systematic numerical, experimental, and analytical study is conducted on the effect of adding interruptions ...

Abstract: Integrating the cooling systems of power electronics and electric machines (PEEMs) with other existing vehicle thermal management systems is an innovative technology for the nextgeneration hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). ...

Abstract: With the extensive application of air-conditioning/refrigeration (A/C-R) systems in homes, industry, and vehicles, many efforts have been put toward the controller development for A/C-R systems. Therefore, this paper ...

Abstract: Effect of anodization on the thermal performance of naturally cooled heat sinks in power electronic devices made of die-cast aluminum alloy A380 and machined aluminum alloy 6061 was investigated experimentally and numerically. ...
