Abstract: A new methodology based on least-squares approach has been developed to estimate the temperature field from an interferogram recorded using a Differential interferometer (DI). The interferograms ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic experiments measuring longitudinal pressure-drop versus flow rate are conducted for turbulent flow of air (channel hydraulic diameter based Reynolds number range of 2300 to 6860) ...

Abstract: Permeability (K) and form coefficient (C) are the characteristic hydraulic properties of any porous medium. They are determined simultaneously, for known fluid thermo-physical properties by using ...

Abstract: The interaction of surface radiation and conduction with natural convection heat transfer from a vertical flat plate assembly, with an embedded heater, has been investigated, both experimentally ...

Abstract: Transient cooling experiments of a heated vertical aluminum plate with an embedded heater, in quiescent air, were conducted for the simultaneous estimation of total hemispherical emissivity and ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of experimental and numerical investigations of optimal heat distribution among the protruding heat sources under laminar conjugate mixed convection heat transfer ...

Abstract: Buoyancy induced flows in a partially heat generating rod bundle enclosed inside a tall cavity are investigated. First, a detailed experimental study is carried out, and the thermal hydraulics ...
