Abstract: An iterative design algorithm is used to adjust the shape of a conducting solid body that is subjected to a surface heat flux and cooled simultaneously by free convection and radiation in order to reduce the overall thermal ...

Abstract: The topological optimization of a conducting solid simultaneously cooled by (i) conduction to a stationary, radiatively nonparticipating fluid and (ii) surface-to-surface radiation exchange is performed to minimize the ...

Abstract: A computational fluid dynamics model is developed to study the dynamics of meniscus formation and capillary flow between vertical parallel plates. An arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach is employed to predict and ...

Abstract: A solid growth method (SGM) and a dual solid method (DSM), both recently developed, are each used to predict solid shapes that provide minimal total (conduction + radiation) resistance to heat transfer in a system involving ...

Abstract: A twodimensional numerical model is developed to simulate the transient response of a heat pipeassisted latent heat thermal energy storage (LHTES) unit integrated with dishStirling solar power generation systems. The unit ...

Abstract: Experiments are performed to analyze melting and solidification of a phase change material (PCM) enclosed in a vertical cylinder by a concentrically located heat pipe (HP) surrounded by either aluminum foam or radial ...

Abstract: It was with great sadness that the heat transfer community learned of the passing of Professor Raymond Viskanta on December 27, 2021.Raymond Viskanta was born in Marijampole, Lithuania in 1931. In 1944, his family escaped ...
