In this article, a time dependent partial differential equation is used to model the nonlinear boundary value problem describing heat transfer through a radial porous moving fin with rectangular profile. The study is performed by applying a numerical solver in MATLAB (pdepe), which is a centered finite difference scheme. The thermal conductivity and fin surface emissivity are linearly ...

In this paper the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase closed thermosyphon over a wide range of heat transfer rates, system pressure, aspect ratios and filling ratios were studied. The experiments focused on the boiling and condensation heat transfer characteristics of the thermosyphon. The experimental boiling and condensation heat transfer coefficients inside the thermosyphon were com...

Results from mathematical models and plant experiments are combined to quantify the effect of transverse depressions and oscillation marks on heat transfer in the continuous casting mold. A heat transfer model has been developed to calculate transient heat conduction within the solidifying steel, coupled with the steady-state heat conduction with the continuous casting mold wall. The model feat...

* Corresponding author, [email protected] ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to develop an appropriate model for simulating the transient heat transfer processes in tissue welding subject to irradiation of ultrashort laser pulses. The ultrafast laser tissue welding process is modeled in three steps. First, there is an immediate local temperature response due to radiation absorption d...

obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at mobarakeh steel company. the effects of different parameters including the heat resu...

The thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on heat and mass transfer by transient free convection flow of over an impulsively started isothermal vertical plate embedded in a saturated porous medium were numerically investigated, considering a homogeneous chemical reaction of first order. The transient, nonlinear and coupled governing equations are solved using an implicit finite-differe...

In first part, the method described here is to measure thermal conductivity of super insulating materials. The principle is based on a simple transient experiment and a single temperature measurement. The main idea is to control the heat flux diffusion in the sample by adjunction of a semi-infinite highly conductive medium. In second part, we present a transient method to estimate thermophysica...
