Abstract: In this study, two configurations for a cold plate designed to cool a heat-generating solid planar material through a small isothermal side-section are considered. The cold plate is originally conceived by distributing ...

Abstract: The steady-periodic natural convection phenomenon inside a heated enclosure filled with disconnected, discrete solid blocks, and under horizontal, time-periodic heating is investigated numerically. This configuration is ...

Abstract: The present study considers the coupled natural convection and surface radiation process through an open fracture of a solid wall facing a reservoir containing isothermal quiescent fluid (air). The fracture is modeled as ...
