Irreversible thermodynamics provides interface conditions that yield temperature and chemical potential jumps at phase boundaries. The interfacial jumps allow unexpected transport phenomena, such as the inverted temperature profile [Pao, Phys. Fluids 14, 306 (1971)] and mass transfer from a cold to a warm liquid driven by a temperature difference across the vapor phase [Mills and Phillips, Chem...

An analysis has been carried out to study the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of a dusty fluid over a flat stretching sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation. The basic equations governing the flow and heat transfer are in the form of partial differential equations, the same have been reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations b...

Water tunnel experiments have been performed to examine how large scale, high intensity freestream turbulence affects heat transfer through a laminar flat plate boundary layer. Time-Resolved Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (TRDPIV) was used to examine the flow field along with timeresolved heat transfer from the wall. The surface heat flux was measured with a newly developed thin-film sensor...

A method to obtain the local heat transfer coefficients of carbon dioxide at supercritical pressures in vertical multi-port mini-channels and in a vertical small tube under cooling conditions was presented through the combination of experiments and numerical simulation in this paper. The CFD code FLUENT 6.1 was used to simulate the convection heat transfer of cooling water to determine the loca...

Interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) presents a measure of the to heat transport caused by interface in composites movement when flows across it. In transfer analysis, presence an ITR invalidates continuity condition temperature at interface, so that special treatment is required. this paper, two one-dimensional models are developed for analysis multi-layered materials with ITR. One create virt...
