Abstract: The main motivation of conducting this work is to present a rigorous analysis and investigation of the potential effect of the heat pipe adiabatic region on the flow and heat transfer performance of a heat pipe under varying ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study investigates the effects of uneven temperature distribution on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules in series, parallel, series–parallel, and parallel–series electrical configurations. A novel ...

Abstract: Free convection heat transfer and flow characteristics in an open-ended enclosure occupied with fluid saturated porous media are highlighted in this paper. All numerical investigations are achieved using the mesoscopic ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new hybrid numerical algorithm is developed to solve coupled convection–radiation heat transfer in a two-dimensional cavity containing an absorbing, emitting, and scattering medium. The radiative information ...
