in the present study, mixed convection laminar flow around an adiabatic body in a lid-driven enclosure filled with nanofluid using variable thermal conductivity and variable viscosity is numerically investigated. the fluid around the body in the enclosure is a water-based nanofluid containing al2o3 nanoparticles. the vertical enclosure’s walls are maintained at constant cold temperature and the...

in this article, modeling and optimization of power consumption of two–stage compressed airsystem has been investigated. to do so, the two – stage compressed air cycle with intercooler offajr petroleum company was considered. this cycle includes two centrifugal compressors, ashell, and a tube intercooler. for modeling of power consumption, actual compressors isentropicefficiencies and intercool...

In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon...
