To determine the effect of development and environment on fin growth, we measured fin lengths of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from two hatcheries (August, October and April–May), stream-reared fish (July and October) stocked as fry into two tributaries, and smolts from the main stem of the Connecticut River (May). For stream-reared parr, there was a linear relationship between the dor...

Heat and mass transfer, in this paper, is considered in one-row heat exchanger, that fins are hotter than air flow and water is added to fins. Related governing equations are derived by analyzing a two-dimension model in a unique cell of a heat exchange. These equations are numerically solved by finite difference method. Heat transfer and efficiency under partially wet surface are calculated by...

Problems involving flow in porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and engineered systems. Mathematical modeling of such systems often relies on homogenization of pore-scale equations and macroscale continuum descriptions. For single phase flow, Stokes equations at the pore-scale are generally approximated by Darcy's law at a larger scale. In this work, we develop an alternative model to Da...

This paper is a review of research work of last few years on heat transfer growth in offset-strip fin heat exchangers. It features a broad discussion on the application of enhanced heat transfer surfaces to offset strip fin heat exchangers. In this paper we are discussing 2D & 3D Analysis in OSF, Experimental & investigating research on OSFs, Analytical model to predict the heat transfer coeffi...

B ioreactors allowing direct perfusion of culture medium through tissue-engineered constructs may overcome diffusion limitations associated with static culturing, and may provide flow-mediated mechanical stimuli. The hydrodynamic stress imposed on cells in these systems will depend not only on the culture medium flow rate but also on the scaffold three dimensional (3D) micro-architecture. We pe...

Over time, the fabrication of lattice, porous structures has always been a controversial field for researchers and practitioners. Such could be fabricated in stochastic way, thus, with limited control over actual porosity percentage. The emerging technology 3D printing, offered an automated process that did not require presence molds operated on layer-by-layer deposition basis, provided ability...

Scaffold-free cartilage engineering techniques may provide a simple alternative to traditional methods employing scaffolds. We previously reported auricular chondrocyte-derived constructs for use in an engineered trachea model; however, the construct generation methods were not reported in detail. In this study, methods for cartilage construct generation from auricular and articular cell source...
