Abstract: In this paper, both experimental and analytical investigations have been conducted to investigate the fuel sheath (also known as clad tube) ballooning deformation and subsequent bursting. The work has been performed to ...

Abstract: The present work reports an experimental investigation of heat transfer characteristics of a closed-loop two-phase thermosyphon (CLTPT) system with a structured heating surface. A novel structured heating surface, i.e., ...

Abstract: This work presents an investigation of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a novel double restriction seal configuration using micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (µPIV). A conventional seal design has been modified to impart magnetic ...

Abstract: Flow boiling in microchannels can effectively address the challenges of high power density heat dissipation in electronic devices. However, the intricate bubble dynamics during the two-phase flow in microchannel necessitates ...

Abstract: The temperature and concentration play an important role on rheological parameters of the gel. In this work, an experimental investigation of thermorheological properties of aqueous gel Carbopol Ultrez 20 for various ...

Abstract: In this work computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique has been used to analyze the detailed flow structures of refrigerant R134a in an adiabatic capillary tube using volume of fluid based finite volume method. Also, ...

Abstract: Viscoplastic fluids are special kind of nonNewtonian materials which deform or flow only when applied stresses are more than a critical value known as yield stress. In this work, a numerical investigation of natural ...

Abstract: The present research work is undertaken to develop ASHRAE like standard rating charts for currently used refrigerants R-134a and R-410A and their potential low global warming potential (GWP) substitutes R-1234yf and R-32, ...
