Abstract: Complex macroscale and microscale heat and mass transfer phenomena are encountered in thermal energy storage and transport systems. Those systems involving ice slurries and nanoemulsions of phase ...

Abstract: The effects of small vibrations on particle motion in a viscous fluid cell have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A steel particle was suspended by a thin wire at the center ...

Abstract: This paper discusses a pulsating heat pipe (PHP) using a self-rewetting fluid. Unlike other common liquids, self-rewetting fluids have the property that the surface tension increases with ...

Abstract: An adiabatic experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of channel geometry on gas-liquid two-phase flow characteristics in horizontal microchannels. A water-nitrogen gas mixture was pumped ...

Abstract: The effects of small vibrations on the motion of a solid particle suspended in a fluid cell were investigated theoretically and experimentally. An inviscid model was developed to predict the ...

Abstract: The effects of small vibrations on a particle-fluid system relevant to material processing such as crystal growth in space have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. An inviscid ...
