Abstract: To study the thermal effects of using nanofluid as a heat transfer fluid (HTF) in a thermocline-type packed-bed energy storage tank filled with spherical phase-changing material (PCM) capsules, an in-house Fortran code is ...

Abstract: Heat transfer enhancement in combined convection around a rotating horizontal cylinder using nanofluids is presented. The transport equations are solved numerically using a second-order finite ...

Abstract: This paper presents thermodynamic analysis of piston friction in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The general effect of piston friction on engine performance was examined during cold ...

Abstract: Numerical investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow over a backward-facing step (BFS), under the effect of suction and blowing, is presented. Here, suction/blowing is implemented on the ...
