Rate of heat transfer ∂u = (1) −K0 area ∂x where K0 is the thermal conductivity, units [K0] = MLT U . In other words, heat is transferred from areas of high temp to low temp. 3. Conservation of energy. Consider a uniform rod of length l with non-uniform temperature lying on the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l. By uniform rod, we mean the density ρ, specific heat c, thermal conductivity K0, cross-sec...

A plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger widely used in air conditioners, and tubes and fins are tightly assembled by the mechanical expansion process of tubes. The tube expansion process deforms the grooves inside the tube, and the groove shapes also affect the adhesion between tubes and fins. In this study, the adhesion and heat transfer performance affected by the tube expansio...

Simulations were carried out using penalty finite element analysis with bi-quadratic elements to investigate the influence of uniform and non-uniform heating of bottom wall within a trapezoidal enclosure of various inclination angles ðuÞ. Parametric study has been carried out for a wide range of Rayleigh number ðRaÞ ð10 6 Ra 6 10Þ, Prandtl number ðPrÞ ð0:026 6 Pr 6 988:24Þ and Darcy number ðDaÞ...

in this paper, turbulent mixed convective heat transfer of water and al2o3 nanofluid has been numerically studied in a horizontal tube under non-uniform heat flux on the upper wall and insulation in the lower wall using mixture model. for the discretization of governing equations, the second-order upstream difference scheme and finite volume method were used. the coupling of pressure and veloci...

An experimental investigation was carried out to study mixed convection heat transfer from Al2O3-water nanofluid inside a vertical, W-shaped, copper-tube with uniform wall temperature. The tests covered different ranges of some involved parameters including Reynolds number, temperature and particles volume fraction. The results showed that the rate of heat transfer coefficient improved with Rey...

deep cryogenic heat treatment is assumed as a supplementary heat treatment performed on steels before the finaltempering treatment to enhance the wear resistance and hardness of the steels. in this study, the effects of thedeep cryogenic heat treatment on the wear behavior and corrosion resistance of the 1.2080 tool steel were studiedusing the wear testing machine and polarization and impedance...

We study the inapproximability of the induced disjoint paths problem on an arbitrary n-node m-edge undirected graph, which is to connect the maximum number of the k sourcesink pairs given in the graph via induced disjoint paths. It is known that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within m 1 2 −ε for a general k and any ε > 0. In this paper, we prove that the problem is NP-hard to approximate...
