In film cooling experimental studies, due to the difficulty in measuring the surface heat flux variation, a Heat Flux Ratio (HFR) equation originally derived by Mick and Mayle [1], has been widely employed to calculate the surface heat flux distribution using the measured adiabatic film effectiveness and surface temperature. A close examination of the derivation process and applications of the ...

Mold powders are fluxing agents used as raw materials in the steel industry, which play very important role in processing stability and final surface quality of a product. Surface quality depends particularly on the viscosity and the heat transfer of infiltrated mold flux between the mold wall and the solidified steel shell. Heat flux across the interfacial gap depends on thermal properties of ...

A heat transfer model has been developed that uses quasi-steady heat flux relations to calculate the heat transfer from combustion gases through the cylinder wall to the coolant in an internal combustion engine. The treatment of convective heat transfer accounts for the physical problems of rotating and impinging axial flow inside the engine cylinder. The radiative heat transfer includes gas ra...

In this paper, the Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in laminar and turbulent flows inside tubes fitted with diamond-shaped turbulators is numerically modeled. The nanofluid flow is modeled by employing a two-phase mixture method and applying the constant heat flux boundary condition at tube walls. In the results, the effects of different parameters such as the geometry of turbulators, volume fraction...

In the present paper, a three dimensional annular developing incompressible laminar flow through 270- degree curved pipe is numerically simulated. The dimensionless governing equations of continuity, momentums and energy are driven in toroidal coordinates. The governing equations are discretized by projection algorithm using forward difference in time and central difference in space. A three-di...

the galerkin finite element method is used to solve the three dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations for laminar newtonian and power-law model non-newtonian flow through horizontal circular tube. the governing equations are non-dimensionalized with respect to specific variables and converted into algebraic equations using appropriate elements. to accelerate convergence a combinat...

The performance of phase change material (PCM) integrated building envelope in terms of peak load reduction, peak load time delay and thermal demand improvement was investigated for a prototype detached single family house in a hot climate location. Five market available PCM layers, which can be easily inserted into traditional wall construction, were selected and coupled into different walls a...

We report a novel boiling heat transfer (NBHT) in reduced graphene oxide (RGO) suspended in water (RGO colloid) near critical heat flux (CHF), which is traditionally the dangerous limitation of nucleate boiling heat transfer because of heater failure. When the heat flux reaches the maximum value (CHF) in RGO colloid pool boiling, the wall temperature increases gradually and slowly with an almos...

In the present investigation the boundary layer steady flow and heat transfer of a viscous incompressible fluid due to a stretching porous sheet in presence of heat source are studied. The equations of motion and heat transfer are reduced to non-linear ordinary differential equations and the exact solutions are obtained in the form of confluent hypergeometric function (Kummer’s Function) for pr...
