Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive methodology for optimizing the design of a two-phase micro-channel heat sink. The heat sink parameters are grouped into geometrical parameters, operating ...

Abstract: This Technical Brief is Part II of a two-part study concerning water single-phase pressure drop and heat transfer in an array of staggered micro-pin-fins. This brief reports the pressure drop ...

Abstract: This is Paper I of a two-part study concerning thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of liquid single-phase flow in an array of micro-pin-fins. This paper reports the heat transfer results ...

Abstract: The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micropin-fin heat sink were investigated experimentally. Fabricated from 110 copper, the heat sink contained an array of 1950 ...

Abstract: Combined with the freerunning model tests of KVLCC ship, the system identification (SI) based on support vector machines (SVM) is proposed for the prediction of ship maneuvering motion. The hydrodynamic derivatives in an ...

Abstract: robabilistic projection of climate change consists of formulating the climate change information in a probabilistic manner at either global or regional scale. This can produce useful results for studies of the impact of ...

Abstract: The concept of “feedback” is introduced into potential free surface flow to derive a new and simple iterative method termed the residual pressure feedback method that is used for computing free surface profile. The residual ...

Abstract: Rigidly foldable origami tubes can be kinematically regarded as assemblies of spherical linkages. They have exhibited excellent properties for deployable structures. Yet, for the engineering applications, the corresponding ...
