Wireless power transfer (WPT) has been studied formore than one hundred years sinceNikola Tesla proposed his WPT concept. Asmore and more portable electronic devices and consumer electronics are developed and used, the need for WPT technology will continue to grow. Recently, WPT via strongly coupled magnetic resonances in the near field has been reported by Kurs et al. (2007). The basic princip...

The convective heat transfer and pressure drop of water based Al2O3 nanofluid in a horizontal tube subject to constant wall temperature condition is investigated by computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method. The Al2O3 nanofluid at five volume concentration of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 % are applied as a non Newtonian power law and Newtonian fluid with experimentally measured properties of density...

one of the cooling systems that has received considerable attentions in recent years is the adsorption chiller, which works based on the adsorption and desorption of a working fluid in a solid porous bed. different parameters such as fin height directly affect the bed heat and mass transfer processes, and therefore, the performance of the adsorption chillers. in the present study a numerical mo...

In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a software-based wireless power transfer platform that enables the development of a prototype involving various openand closed-loop power control functions. Our platform is based on a loosely coupled planar wireless power transfer circuit that uses a class-E power amplifier. In conjunction with this circuit, we implement flexible control fu...

in this paper, an integration of a symbolic power series method - padé approximation technique (ps - padé), was utilized to solve a system of nonlinear differential equations arising from the similarity solution of laminar thermal boundary layer over a flat plate subjected to a convective surface boundary condition. as both boundary conditions tended to infinity, the combination of series solut...
