This study explores heat diffusion effects inmicro-channel heat sinks intended for electronic cooling applications. Detailed analytical models are constructed for heat sinks havingmicro-channels with rectangular, inverse trapezoidal, triangular, trapezoidal, anddiamond-shaped cross sections. Solutions are presented for both monolithic heat sinks and heat sinks with perfectly insulating cover pl...

Body patterning behavior in unshelled cephalopod molluscs such as squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish is the ability of these animals to create complex patterns on their skin. This behavior is generated primarily by chromatophores, pigment-containing organs that are directly innervated by central motoneurons. The present study focuses on innervation patterns and location of chromatophore motoneuro...

In the current work optimization of double pipe fin-pin heat exchanger has been studied. The effective parameters those are controlling the heat exchanger performance are divided in two categories; geometrical and operating conditions. Using the Brent’s optimization algorithm and handling the thermodynamically design concept, one can minimize entropy generation in different length of heat excha...

In this study, a simple and accurate solution for the temperature distribution of convective-radiative straight rectangular fins with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity is presented using an analytical method called the Differential Transformation Method (DTM). The governing differential equation for the temperature distribution in present problem contains two nonlinear terms, one due t...

This paper describes the Thermal and structural combined simulation on COMSOL Multiphysics of a Microwave (MW) Fin Taper (FT) Spatial Power Combiner (SPC) Power Amplifier (PA), based on rectangular Waveguide (WG). In the SPC based PA's, the captured power is feeded by microstrip transmission lines (μSTL’s) to Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA’s). T...

An analytic method originated by Y. H. Chin was extended to calculate the electromagnetic fields and the longitudinal impedance due to coherent wiggler radiation (CWR) in a rectangular chamber. The method used dyadic Green functions based on eigenfunction expansion method in electromagnetic theory and was rigorous for the case of straight chamber. We re-derived the theory and did find the full ...

Rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) are among the largest vertebrates that have ever lived and include blue (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin (Balaenoptera physalus) whales. Rorquals differ from other baleen whales (Mysticeti) in possessing longitudinal furrows or grooves in the ventral skin that extend from the mouth to the umbilicus. This ventral grooved blubber directly relates to their intermitt...

Three geometrically similar offset rectangular platefin surfaces with area densities in the range from goo to 2000 ft 2/ft3 were tested to establish the heat transfer., j-NR~ and flow friction, f-NR, characteristics. The Reynolds number range was from 60 to 3000. One surface was unbrazed while the other two, because of a two-to-one difference in plate, fin and offset spacing dimensions~ were ch...

The development of Diapterus peruvianus (Sauvage 1879) is based on 60 larvae collected in superficial tows made in Bahía Concepción, and on 16 pre-juvenile and juvenile organisms collected in Bahía de La Paz, B. C. S., México, using a standard plankton net and a rectangular epibenthonic net, respectively. Larvae of D. peruvianus show three large blotches on the dorsum of the gut that can fuse t...
