Abstract: A numerical solution is given to study the unsteady natural convection in enclosures with stratified medium. Three designs of the enclosure wall are investigated that encompass a wall without ...

Abstract: A unified approach is developed for the analysis of one, two, or three-phase melting or solidification of a semi-infinite medium with or without subcooling or superheating and imposed with ...

Abstract: A source and sink method has been developed for the solution of heat transfer with phase change in two dimensions. In this method, the heat transfer in one direction is decoupled from that ...

Abstract: In theoretical modeling of contact mechanics, a homogeneously, isotropically rough surface is usually assumed to be a flat plane covered with asperities of a Gaussian summit-height distribution. ...

Abstract: Ammonium alum and ammonium nitrate in the weight ratio of 1:1 form a eutectic that melts at 53°C and solidifies at 48°C. The thermophysical properties of this eutectic were measured ...
