Abstract: Transient analysis helps us to predict the behavior of heat exchangers subjected to various operational disturbances due to sudden change in temperature or flow rates of the working fluids. The ...

Abstract: A detailed experimental study on flow maldistribution from port to channel of a plate heat exchanger is presented. In general, flow maldistribution brings about an increase in pressure drop ...

Abstract: The presence of liquid water at the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cell hinders the reactant supply to the electrode and is known as electrode flooding. The flooding at the cathode ...

Abstract: Effective supply of reactants and product-water removal are the key issues in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) from the performance view point. Reactant distribution pattern can be one ...

Abstract: Jet flows are encountered in a variety of industrial applications. Although from the points of view of manufacturing with ease and small spatial requirement it is convenient to use short slit ...

Abstract: Nanofluids, solid-liquid suspensions with solid particles of size of the order of few nanometers, have created interest in many researchers because of their enhancement in thermal conductivity ...

Abstract: The flow of fuel and oxidant through a PEMFC is analyzed for prediction of maldistribution. Flow distribution of both fuel and oxidant from the port to the individual cells critically control ...

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 ...

Abstract: There are very few detailed experimental investigations about the heat transfer behavior of nanofluids in microchannel. The heat transfer behavior of nanofluids in microchannel is investigated. ...
