SP interpretation can be ambiguous giving highly non-unique physical models. The ambiguity can be limited by constraining the interpretation. If the SP anomaly arises from forced convection along a vertical fracture zone, an integral equation can be derived from which the SP anomaly may be calculated or inverted to a source. The source arises from divergence of a product of flow parameters, div...

Two identical prototype solar dryers (direct and indirect) having the same dimensions were used to dry whole mint. Both prototypes were operated under natural and forced convection modes. In the case of the later one the ambient air was entered the dryer with the velocity of 4.2 m s(-1). The effect of flow mode and the type of solar dryers on the drying kinetics of whole mint were investigated....

Numerical simulations of tropical-cyclone-like vortices are performed to analyze the effects of unidirectional vertical wind shear and translational flow upon the organization of convection within a hurricane’s core region and upon the intensity of the storm. A series of dry and moist simulations is performed using the Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesos...

Anticancer drugs executing their function intracellularly enter cancer cells via diffusive processes. Complementary to these slow processes, cells can be forced to incorporate drugs by convection - a more efficient transport process. Transmembrane convection is induced by moderately intense pulsed laser light (or light emitting diodes) changing the structure of nanoscopic water layers in cells....

The forced convection heat transfer in high porosity metal-foam filled tube heat exchangers are studied in this paper. The Brinkman Darcy momentum model and two energy equations for both solid and fluid phases in porous media are employed .The study shows that using metal-foams can significantly improve the heat transfer in heat exchangers. Keywords—metal foam, Nusselt number, heat exchanger, h...

a numerical investigation of forced convection in a channel with hot solid block inside a square porous block mounted on a bottom wall was carried out. the lattice boltzmann method was applied for numerical simulations. the fluid flow in the porous media was simulated by brinkman-forchheimer model. the effects of parameters such as porosity and thermal conductivity ratio over flow pattern and t...

Several researches dealing with the single-phase forced convection heat transfer inside micro channels have been published in the past decades. The performance of liquid flow has been proved that agree with the conventional correlations very well (Yang and Lin [2007]). However, owing to the low heat transfer coefficient of gaseous flow, it is more difficult to eliminate the effects of thermal s...
