in this article effects of friction stir welding (fsw) tool rotational and traverse speeds were studied on heat generation and temperature distribution in welding zone of aa1100 aluminium alloy. computational fluid dynamics method was used to simulate the process with commercial cfd fluent 6.4 package. to enhance the accuracy of simulation in this study, the welding line that is located workpie...

Deep borehole heat exchanger is promising and competitive for seasonal storage in the limited space underground with great efficiency. However, performance of essentially deep reaching kilometers was seldom studied. In addition, previous research rarely achieved comprehensive assessment its thermal due to storage. Insight into complicated transfer characteristics during whole process prior char...

In the present study, the conjugate turbulent free convection with the thermal surface radiation in a rectangular enclosure bounded by walls with different thermophysical characteristics in the presence of a local heater is numerically studied. The effects of surface emissivity and wall materials on the air flow and the heat transfer characteristics are the main focus of the present investigati...

Allen–Cahn (AC) type equations with nonlinear source terms have been applied to a wide range of problems, for example, the vector-valued AC equation for phase separation and the phase-field equation for dendritic crystal growth. In contrast to the well developed first and second order methods for the AC equation, not many second order methods are suggested for the AC type equations with nonline...

One of the great enemies of rubber compounds is heat. Heat will cause chemical and physical degradation of vulcanized rubber as well as a considerable loss in its strength. A major source of heat generation in a tire is due to internal friction resulting from the viscoelastic deformation of the tire as it rolls along the road. Another source of heat generation in a tire is due to its contact fr...

The effect of temperature and moisture content on the thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat andbulk thermal diffusivity was evaluated. The thermal conductivity was measured by the transient technique using a line heat source. The maximum slope method was used to analyse the line source heating data for thermal conductivity determination. The specific heat capacity was m...
