Abstract: In this work, the effect of flow resistance due to the presence of porous medium representing agricultural products at the exit of free convection-based solar air heater is studied experimentally and numerically. An air ...

Abstract: In this paper, heat transfer and effectiveness of a turbulent slot jet impinging over a heated circular cylinder have been investigated numerically by varying the ratio of jet temperature to the ambient temperature, ...

Abstract: Mixed convection heat transfer in a channel filled with porous medium and containing an isolated heat source at the bottom wall is studied in this work. The porous medium is assumed to be made of circular cylinders and is ...

Abstract: The main objective of this work is to investigate the performance of the v2–f model for the predictions of turbulent natural and mixed convection flows. For this purpose, a finite volumebased flow solver is developed for ...

Abstract: In this work, a numerical study is conducted to investigate film cooling of a corrugated surface. A conjugate heat transfer analysis is carried out, accounting for the presence of thermal barrier coating (TBC) and gas ...

Abstract: In this work, temperature-dependent effective thermal conductivity and specific heat of high bulk thermally bonded polyester nonwovens (composed of four fibers, namely, 1.4 denier solid, 3 denier hollow, 6 denier hollow, ...

Abstract: Prior knowledge of the survival time of a person clothed with extreme cold-weather clothing would be useful in designing an appropriate fabric ensemble. The survival time may depend on ambient temperature, fabric insulation, ...
