Abstract: The present work reports a 3D computational study of buoyancy-driven flow and heat transfer characteristics for a localized heater (analogous to superconductor) submerged in cryogenic liquid nitrogen in an enclosure. Seven ...

Abstract: Laminar sub-layer formation in a smooth solar air heater (SAH) is one of the reasons for the low heat transfer coefficient. One of the most effective ways to overcome the problem and improve the heat transfer rate inside ...

Abstract: The present study reports the numerical simulation of turbulent plane offset jet flow over a moving plate. The effect of plate velocity on various flow characteristics is discussed in detail including the special case of ...

Abstract: The present investigation focuses on studying the conjugate heat transfer behavior for a turbulent offset jet flow over a heated plate moving uniformly in a positive axial direction. Heat transfer from heated walls to ...

Abstract: Recently, many studies have reported that a curved solar air heater (CSAH) performs better than a conventional flat SAH without using any extra material. It only requires geometrical modification. The present investigation ...

Abstract: This work involves studying the effects of plate motion on the turbulent flow behavior of a wall jet stream flowing over a flat plate moving at a constant velocity in a quiescent atmosphere. A modified low-Reynolds-number ...

Abstract: An experimental study on the effect of shortening of jet plate perforation length on the thermal and frictional performance of an impinging jet solar air heater with ribs (RIJSAH) was conducted. The jet span length was ...
