In this paper, a modified two-fluid model has been adopted to simulate the process of upward vertical subcooled flow boiling of refrigerant R-113 in a vertical annular channel at low pressure. The modified model considers temperature dependent properties and saturation temperature variation and was validated against a number of published low-pressure subcooled boiling experiments. The results s...

this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. the bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (th), while the top wall is maintained at a relatively low temperature (tc). fluid with a uniform velocity (uo) and temperature (tc) is introduced into...

Constant wall temperature /homogeneity in wall temperature is the need of various lab-on-chip devices employed in biological and chemical investigations. However method to maintain this condition does not seem to be available. In this work, a novel and simple way of maintaining constant wall temperature is proposed. A diverging microchannel along with conjugate effects is utilized towards this ...

Natural convection heat transfer in a square enclosure with a horizontal baffle at the centerline of the left wall containing Al2O3-water in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated numerically. The top and bottom horizontal walls are adiabatic. The left wall and the baffle are maintained in constant temperature Th and the right wall is maintained in...

in this paper, the effects of input temperature and compression ratio on the net output work and efficiency of the air standard cycles, i.e. atkinson cycle, diesel cycle and otto cycle are analyzed. we assumed that the compression and power processes are adiabatic and reversible and any convective, conductive and radiative heat transfer to cylinder wall during the heat rejection process may be ...
