In the present study, the heat transfer coefficients of benzene in a spiral plate heat exchanger are investigated. The test section consists of a Plate of width 0.3150 m, thickness 0.001 m and Mean hydraulic diameter of 0.01 m. The mass flow rate of water (Hot fluid) is varying from 0.5 kg sec to 0.8 kg sec and the mass flow rate of benzene (cold fluid) varies from 0.4 kg sec to 0.7 kg sec. Exp...

In the present work, a prototype of a new type of solar collectors, which called Direct Absorption Solar Collector, was built and its thermal performance is experimentally compared with conventional flat plate solar collector under transient and steady state conditions. Different volume fractions of multi wall carbon nanotubes in water and ethylene glycol mixture (70%:30% in volume) were used a...

The unsteady natural convection flow of an incompressible viscous fluid near a vertical plate that applies an arbitrary shear stress to the fluid is studied using the Laplace transform technique. The fluid flow is due to both the shear and the heating of the plate. Closed-form expressions for velocity and temperature are established under the usual Boussinesq approximation. For illustration pur...

the use of solar collectors in combination with heat pipes is rapidly growing in recent years.heat pipes, as heat transfer components, have undeniable advantages in comparison with other alternatives. the most important advantage is their high rate of heat transfer at minor temperature differences. although there have been numerous studies on the heat analysis or first thermodynamic analysis of...

introduction: during early neural tube formation, the notochord is essential for the induction of ectoderm and for the subsequent differentiation of the neuroepithelium forming diverse cell types in the neural tube. due to the key role of the glycoconjugates in many developmental events, the early distribution of these molecules in early notochordal interaction with adjacent tissues were studie...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of the variable thermal conductivity and the inclined uniform magnetic field on the plane Poiseuille flow of viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two porous plates Joule heating in the presence of a constant pressure gradient through non-uniform plate temperature. It is assumed that the fluid injection occurs at lower pl...

Among the motions of a fluid over a plane wall, the Stokes’ problems as well as the motion induced by a constantly accelerating plate have been extensively studied in the literature. However, the first closed-form solutions for the motion of a viscous fluid over an oscillating plate have been late enough obtained by Erdogan [1]. These solutions, as well as those corresponding to the fluid motio...

The plate-type coalescer was constructed and tested for the continuous separation of immiscible liquids in micro-scale. Two plates formed the main structure of the coalescer. A flat and rectangular channel was situated between the plates. The material options for the plates were PTFE, stainless steel and glass which formed the contact surfaces for the fluids in the device. The liquid-liquid dis...
