Abstract: The James V. Beck Memorial Symposium at the ASME Summer Heat Transfer Conference (SHTC) provides a platform for researchers to exchange ideas, showcase research achievements, and discuss new developments in the areas of ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the possibility of using thermoelectric power generator modules (TEGs) to convert the heat generated by the photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector into electricity is investigated. A comprehensive heat ...

Abstract: The concept of both penetration and deviation times for rectangular coordinates along with the principle of superposition for linear problems allows short-time solutions to be constructed for a one-dimensional (1D) rectangular ...

Abstract: An experimental apparatus was constructed to correlate water flowrate and temperature rise under an external band heater. Due to the physical characteristics of the band heater, its transient heating behavior is unknown. ...

Abstract: This report documents evaluation of simultaneous estimation of multiple interfacial heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) using transient measurements from an experiment designed for steady-state operation. The design of a ...
