The forced convection experiment of fan plate-finned tube heat exchangers which are mainly used in air conditioners and the forced convection model have been studied for which the heat transfer effect of this type exchangers has not been proposed by a model. All measurements were made when there is no refrigerant flow in the pipe at Reynolds's number of 580. According to the experiment results,...

We present a discussion on the effects of convection on the uvby colours of A and F stars. The mixing-length theory used in ATLAS9 is compared to the turbulent convection theory of Canuto & Mazzitelli (1991, 1992). Comparison with fundamental stars reveals that colours calculated using the Canuto & Mazzitelli convection theory are generally in better agreement than those obtained using mixing-l...

Computational models are developed to predict the natural convection heat transfer and buoyancy for a Montgolfiere under conditions relevant to the Titan atmosphere. Idealized single and double-walled balloon geometries are simulated using algorithms suitable for both laminar and (averaged) turbulent convection. Steady-state performance results are compared to existing heat transfer coefficient...

This research focuses on the need for preserving fruits in rural areas to prevent waste. The solar drier is made of vital chambers i.e. the concentrator chamber (that harvests the solar irradiance), the transport pipe (that transports the heat generated by convection) and hanger chamber (where the fruits are placed). The temperature within the concentrator chamber and hanger chamber was monitor...

turbulent mixed convection of a nanofluid (water/al2o3, φ=.02) has been studied numerically. two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate the effects of nanoparticles mean diameter on the flow parameters. nanoparticles distribution at the tube cross section shows that the particles are uniformly dispersed. the non-uniformity of the particles distribution occurs in the case of large nano...

High resolution computer simulations of two-dimensional convection using the anelastic approximation are presented. These calculations span Rayleigh numbers from 10(8)-10(12) for Prandtl number equal to unity, with the fluid density decreasing by a factor of 12 from the bottom to the top of the convection region. This range covers several decades in the "hard" turbulent regime. While many studi...

Solar-like oscillations are stochastically excited by turbulent convection. In this work we investigate changes in the acoustic oscillation power spectrum of solar-type stars by varying the treatment of convection in the equilibrium structure and the properties of the stochastic excita-tion model. We consider different stellar models computed with the standard mixing-length description by Böhm-...

Turbulent motions in the interior of a star play an important role in its evolution, since they transport chemical species, thermal energy and angular momentum. Our overall goal is to construct a practical turbulent closure model for convective transport that can be used in a multidimensional stellar evolution calculation including the effects of rotation, shear and magnetic fields. Here, we fo...
