natural convection heat transfer from a vertical heated plate in a saturated porous medium is analyzed under thermal non-equilibrium assumptions. the plate is maintained at a non uniform temperature and the fluid is considered to be with internal heat generation. the coupled momentum and energy equations for fluid and solid phases are transformed to a similarity format, and solved numerically. ...

In the present study, the conjugate turbulent free convection with the thermal surface radiation in a rectangular enclosure bounded by walls with different thermophysical characteristics in the presence of a local heater is numerically studied. The effects of surface emissivity and wall materials on the air flow and the heat transfer characteristics are the main focus of the present investigati...

Single staggered is a design development of normal wire and tube heat exchanger that wires are welded with staggered configuration on two sides. Capacity of wire and tube heat exchanger is the ability of the heat exchanger to release heat. The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of wire pitch (pw) on capacity of single staggered wire and tube heat exchanger. The research...

the concentration of pollutants around tall buildings can be influenced by many factors such as down wind effects, waves, airflow due to free convection of heat transfer, building height etc. the main objective of this research was the investigation of the variation of pollutants concentration at different heights around tall buildings. research was carried out measuring parameters such as co o...

this paper modeled heating air of a room through examining free convection in a 3d chamber. the chamber had cold and hot sources with tc and th temperatures, respectively. its other walls were adiabatic. this study aimed at predicting effect of temperature difference, displacement of hot and cold sources and their aspect ratio on flow field, temperature and heat transfer rate. to conduct the st...

The results of experimental investigation free convection heat transfer in a rectangular container are presented. ability the commonly accepted correlation equations to reproduce present data was tested as well. It assumed that examined geometry fulfils requirement no-interaction between heated cylinder and bounded surfaces. In order check this assumption recently published jointly describe dep...

Fins are protrusions on a heat transfer surface to augment heat transfer rate from it. The increase in area exposed to convection in case of finned surfaces results in increased heat transfer rate. In this study heat transfer characteristics of a pin fin with perforation is numerically analyzed. A pin fin is fabricated and experiments are done under forced convection conditions. The experimenta...
