Abstract: This study concerns an improvement in the solar diffusion driven desalination process under dynamic operating conditions for decentralized water production. The utilization of a heat exchanger for the solar diffusion driven ...

Abstract: An efficient and accurate approach for heat transfer evaluation on curved boundaries is proposed in the thermal lattice Boltzmann equation (TLBE) method. The boundary heat fluxes in the discrete velocity directions of the ...

Abstract: The hoodoo is introduced as a beneficial surface structure for enhancing boiling heat transfer. A full parametric study was conducted to determine which attributes of the hoodoo structure promote boiling heat transfer ...

Abstract: The experimental heat transfer rates from a supersonic twophase impinging air jet with disperse droplets are presented. The experimental configuration consists of an expanding disperse mixture of air and water through a ...
