Abstract: A mathematical model for the transient conjugated behavior of a hot-water storage tank having finite wall thickness is presented. An analytical closed-form solution for the temperature field ...

Abstract: An investigation toward the existence of a complete similarity solution for boundary layer flows under the velocity slip and temperature jump conditions is carried out. The study is limited to ...

Abstract: In this work, the thermal performance of a conventional collector is improved by inserting porous substrates at the inner walls of the collector tubes. The porous substrates improve the convective ...

Abstract: The thermal behavior of a multilayered slab in imperfect contact using the dual-phase-lag heat conduction model is numerically analyzed, considering a range of heat flux-phase lag, temperature ...

Abstract: The convection heat transfer induced by a stretching flat plate has been studied. Similarity conditions are obtained for the boundary layer equations for a flat plate subjected to a power law ...

Abstract: In the present work, the Jeffery–Hamel flow problem has been studied using both first- and second-order velocity-slip models, and then compared with the no-slip model. The objectives are to ...

Abstract: In this work, the effect of the second-order term to the velocity-slip/temperature-jump boundary conditions on the solution of four cases in which the driving force is fluctuating harmonically ...

Abstract: Transient heat conduction in a thin metal film exposed to short-pulse laser heating is studied using the dual phase lag heat conduction model. The initial heat flux distribution in the film, ...
