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: Melting and resolidification of a phase change material around two cylindrical heat exchangers spaced vertically have been investigated experimentally. Experiments have been performed to examine ...

Abstract: Mathematical modeling of mass, momentum, heat, and species transport phenomena occurring during solidification of metal alloys is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the incorporation of the effects ...

Abstract: This paper considers the transient cooling of a spherical mass of high-temperature gas which is surrounded by the cold atmosphere. The ionization and dissociation phenomena are neglected, and ...

Abstract: A study was conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of an irradiated, gravity-driven semitransparent fluid flowing over an opaque substrate. The physical model simulated is ...

Abstract: A physical/mathematical model has been developed to simulate the conjugate heat transfer in an actively cooled electronic package. The package consists of a highly conductive substrate with ...

Abstract: In this paper the continuum and noncontinuum (discrete) theories for radiative properties and radiative transfer models in dispersed particulate, porous and cellular media capable of absorbing, ...

Abstract: A double-diffusive, thermohaline system has been studied under laboratory conditions involving uniform heating from below. Shadowgraph visualization has been used with temperature and salt concentration ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional laminar flow model has been used with a one-dimensional radiation transfer model to predict the response of a slowly moving liquid layer to solar irradiation. Calculations ...

Abstract: Entrainment of salt-stratified fluid into a bottom mixed layer is investigated under conditions for which mixing is driven by bottom heating and/or an imposed horizontal flow. Entrainment rate ...
