Abstract: Thermal management systems (TMSs) working for electronics packages under harsh environments like intense thermal radiation are challenging due to external thermal interactions. Thermal insulation protection for TMS is very ...

Abstract: In this study, experimental attempts were made to reduce exhaust gas toxic emissions from the spark ignition (SI) engine. For this, a sucrose catalyst is coated inside the metallic substrate. The obtained emission level ...

Abstract: The present study aims to develop a compact experimental facility to trap solar energy. Line focusing concentrators, i.e., Fresnel lens and secondary reflectors, are coupled to enhance the photothermal conversion efficiency. ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation on the heat transfer performance and pressure drop characteristics of thermally developing and hydrodynamically developed laminar flow of deionized (DI) water and 0.1%, 0.5%, and 0.8% ...

Abstract: In this study, heat transfer performance of nanofluids (Al2O3/water and CuO/water nanofluid) is experienced by using the condensing unit of an air conditioner. Nanoparticles at 30 nm are suspended at various volume ...

Abstract: The method-of-characteristics approach is used in general to find the ultimate bearing capacity of footings on soils whose cohesion is homogeneous and isotropic. In this technical note, the method is further developed and ...
