Modelling of building heat transfer needs two basic material characteristics: heat conduction factor and thermal capacity. Under some simplifications these two factors can be determined from a rather simple equipment, generating heat from one of two aluminium plates into the material sample and recording temperature on the contacts between the sample and the plates. However, the numerical evalu...

An analytical solution to the transient heat conduction for a two dimensional cylindrical fin with general boundary conditions is obtained by the principle of superposition and separation variables. In the analysis, homogeneous material properties and thickness, the convective heat transfer coefficient, the ambient temperature and the fin properties are assume to be constant. The closed form tr...

Non-Fourier models of heat conduction have been increasingly considered in the last years in the modeling of microscale heat transfer in engineering and biomedical problems. Models that incorporate time lags in the heat flux and/or the temperature gradient result in heat conduction modeling equations in the form of partial differential equations with delay, while some approximations may yield p...

Non-Fourier heat transfer analysis of functionally graded (FG) spherical shells subjected to the radiative-convective boundary conditions at their inner and outer surfaces are presented. It is assumed that the material properties have continuous variations along the thickness direction. The incremental differential quadrature method (IDQM) as an accurate and computationally efficient numerical ...

the objective of the present study is the synthesis of mwcnt-tio2 hybrid nanostructures by solvothermal synthesis method with ticl4 as precursor. the heat transfer enhancement due to the use of mwcnt-tio2 nanofluid was investigated. as-prepared hybrid materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the results showed that mwcnts were uniformly dec...

temperature profile during the salting process play an important role in cheese quality since microbial and enzymatic activities, are thereby affected. in this work a three dimensional model was developed for heat transfer in the ultrafilterated cheese by using numerical solution of fourier's second law with finite difference method (explicit scheme) as a function of internal variable (che...

The present work concerns the activity performed to upgrade an in house finite volume CFD solver for computing heat transfer in gas turbine cooling devices. The “conjugate simulation” of fluid heat transfer and metal heat conduction has been considered. To this aim the original code has been coupled to a new one solving the Fourier equation in the solid domain. This modification allows the “con...

using of nanofluids and ducts with corrugated walls are both supposed to enhance heat transfer, by increasing the heat transfer fluid conductivity and the heat transfer area respectively. use of a diverging duct with a jet at inlet section may further increase heat transfer by creating recirculation zones inside the duct. in this work two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow of a nanofluid e...
