In this article, stream flow effectivness is based on hydraulic network studied in the shell-side of a shell and tube heat exchange as a case study. For an appropriate heat exchangers rating design to meet a specified duty, it's better to consider each stream flow separately. Using the hydraulic network principals, a set of the correlations for calculating different stream flow rates in the cro...

We report the experimental verification of the predicted chaotic mixing characteristics for a polydimethylsioxane microfluidic chip, based on the mechanism of multistage cross-channel flows. While chaotic mixing can be achieved within short passage distances, there is an optimal side channel flow pulsation frequency beyond which the mixing becomes ineffective. Based on the physical understandin...

In this paper, the data assembled concerning the agitation of a Newtonian fluid in a cylindrical vessel is disclosed. The stirred vessel is not provided with baffles and has a flat-bottom. The data presents some information on the characteristics of two impellers: a six-blade Rushton turbine and a six-blade paddle impeller. The flow patterns generated by both impellers are depicted and compared...

Heat transfer reduction capabilities of a vertical or a horizontal adiabatic partial partition fixed in a differentially heated cavity with insulated top and bottom walls are analyzed and compared. The effects of length and location of the partition is taken into account for aspect ratios from 1 to 4 and for Rayleigh numbers from 103 to 106. Different characteristics of square and higher aspect...

In this paper, a nanofluid-based solar collector duct equipped with baffles is examined numerically. Baffles are located on the back plate to guide nanofluid flow toward absorber for heat transfer enhancement purposes. Cu-water fixed rate and concentration in baffled investigated thermohydraulic mechanisms. different inclination angles, heights pitches considered study. Numerical simulations pe...

• Soft-elastic baffles (SEBs) intensified mixing in a soft-elastic reactor (SER). A best design of SER with SEBs was identified. Mixing SERs large length to diameter ratios by SEBs. (SER) has been demonstrated as an alternative approach effective viscous liquid. Here, the performance Newtonian fluid—glycerin water solutions (1200±50 mPa⋅s) experimentally investigated for first time inside simpl...
