Abstract: Unsteady natural convection in a nonuniformly stratified, finite depth layer of water heated from below has been studied. Laboratory experiments were performed using the Mach-Zehnder interferometer ...

Abstract: The uniaxial compressive strength and static Young’s modulus

Abstract: This paper presents a method of characterising and evaluating the performance of hot water storage systems in terms of their temperature distribution. The change in exergy from the stratified ...

Abstract: The study of optimization of finned heat sinks for impingement cooling of electronic components was undertaken. The procedure was based on a semiempirical zonal approach to the determination of ...

Abstract: Natural convection immersion cooling of discrete heat sources in a series of parallel interacting open-top cavities filled with a fluorinert liquid (FC–72) has been numerically studied. A series ...

Abstract: Direct steam generation collectors are considered with the aim to improve the performance of a parabolic trough collector leading to a reduction of operating costs of solar electric generation ...

Abstract: Erosion of boiler tubes causes serious operational problems in many pulverized coal-fired utility boilers. A new erosion model has been developed in the present study for the prediction of ...

Abstract: Multidimensional simulations of both flue gas and fly ash (solid particle) flows with application to erosion prediction in the economisers of coal-fired power utility boilers are reported. A ...
