Accurate modeling of ice sheets requires proper information on boundary conditions, including the geothermal heat flow (or heat-flow density (HFD)). Traditionally, one uniform HFD value is adopted for the entire modeled domain. We have calculated a distributed, high-resolution HFD dataset for an approximate core area (Sweden and Finland) of the Scandinavian ice sheet, and imbedded this within l...

A numerical study to investigate the steady laminar natural convection flow in a square cavity with uniformly and non-uniformly heated bottom wall, and adiabatic top wall maintaining constant temperature of cold vertical walls has been performed. A penalty finite element method with bi-quadratic rectangular elements has been used to solve the governing mass, momentum and energy equations. The n...

Thermal transducers, which can be interpreted as thermally actuated compliant mechanisms, have found a wide range of applications, due to the reason of accessible source, easy controllability and reliability. During the past decade topology optimization techniques have been developed as efficient tools to design distributed type of complaint mechanisms. The generated results have been accepted ...

Effect of nanosilver (NS) on the heat-transferring rate to the core section of medium density fiberboard (MDF) mat was studied here. A 400 ppm aqueous nanosilver suspension was used at three consumption levels of 100, 150, and 200 mL/kg, based on the weight of dry wood fibers; the results were then compared with the control MDF panels. The size range of nanosilver was 30-80 nm. Results showed t...

In the present research, in contrast to the available papers, not only the superelasticity but also the shape memory effects are taken into account in determination of the impact responses. At the same time, in addition to modifying Brinson’s model for the shape memory alloys (SMAs), to include new parameters and loading events, and Hertz contact law, distributions of the SMA phases are conside...

Uniform boundedness, ultimate boundedness, uniform stability, and asymptotic stability are studied by analyzing a Liapunov function satisfying v′(t) ≤ −αv(t) + √ v(t) ∫ t # ω(t, s) √ v(s)ds, t ≥ t0 ≥ 0, (# = 0 or −∞). The results are then applied to integrodifferential equations x′(t) = A(t) [ x(t) + ∫ t # F (t, s)x(s)ds ] , t ≥ t0 ≥ 0, (# = 0 or −∞), in real Hilbert space with unbounded linear...

The Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar Newtonian and power-law model non-Newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. To accelerate convergence a combinat...

The Galerkin weighted residuals method is extended solve the laminar, fully developed flow and heat transfer of Al2O3-water nanofluid inside polygonal ducts with round corners for the constant heat flux and uniform wall temperature boundary conditions. Using the method, semi-analytical, closed-form solutions are obtained for the friction coefficient and the Nusselt number in terms of the radius...
