Abstract: An optimization of vapor chamber (VC) region's width and its wick porosity to achieve the minimum temperature rise of the vapor chamber is studied in this paper. The optimization process is carried out by particle swarm ...

Abstract: In this work, the effect of vapor chamber characteristics, the properties of its working fluid and the operating parameters on the vapor chamber performance are studied. Also, the effects of these parameters on the cooling ...

Abstract: This study is an experimental investigation of the oceanic environment effect on a plate heat exchanger performance. Indeed, an experiment was carried out on a single plate of the exchanger to generate a turbulent airflow ...

Abstract: This paper investigates numerically and experimentally the flow structure and convective heat transfers in an unconfined air gap of a discoid technology rotor–stator system. The cavity between the interdisk is defined by ...

Abstract: Cooling of electrical machines is nowadays of high interest in order to improve their efficiency. In railway applications, electrical motors can be shrouded in order to avoid particles to be deposited inside. To ensure a ...

Abstract: The present study focuses on oil cooling for electric motors. A 40 kW test machine in which oil was introduced at each side of the machine to directly cool the stator coil end-windings was previously implemented. The lumped ...

Abstract: This work takes place in the understanding of the friction and wear mechanisms occurring in reinforced phenolic materials, widely used in organic braking pads. As the matrix is filled with a large variety of particles, the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of a turbulent flow of air in a T-bifurcation. This configuration corresponds to a stator containing radial vents oriented vertically to the rotor–stator air gap in ...
