Animal momentum and heat transfer analysis has historically used direct animal measurements or approximations to calculate drag and heat transfer coefficients. Research can now use modern 3D rendering and computational fluid dynamics software to simulate animal-fluid interactions. Key questions are the level of agreement between simulations and experiments and how superior they are to classical...

thermal conductivity is an important property of juices in the prediction of heat- and mass-transfer coefficients and in the design of heat- and mass-transfer equipment for the fruit juice industry. an artificial neural network (ann) was developed to predict thermal conductivity of pear juice. temperature and concentration were input variables. thermal conductivity of juices was outputs. the op...

A numerical study is carried out to investigate the laminar forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible, the Reynolds number ranged from 0.1 to 1000, and the Prandtl number was equal to 0.7. The range of study includes heat transfer in creeping flow (Re40). The equations were discretized by a control-volume-based finite difference techniqu...

The performance of the adsorption cooling system is assessed in terms of the heat transfer coefficients of adsorbent bed heat exchanger. These parameters in-turn determine the specific cooling capacity (SCC) and the coefficient of the performance (COP) of the adsorption cooling system. It was observed that the overall heat transfer coefficients of the heat exchanger have a direct linear relatio...

Experimental measurements of local heat tra nsfer coefficients and pressure drop are made for forced conv ection boiling and condensation for R134a-oil mixtures inside a horizontal tube. The results are compared with the experime ntal data of pure Rl34a. Average convection boiling and cond ensation heat transfer coefficients decreased about 20% at a 10\ o il mass fraction, and boiling and conde...

Nanofluids are becoming increasingly popular as heat transfer fluids in a variety of industrial applications, due to their enhanced heat transfer characteristics. The thermal conductivity of nanofluids is usually found to be much larger than that predicted from the classical models, such as the Maxwell model. The key mechanism of enhancement of thermal conductivity of dilute nanofluids is the s...

introduction: frying phenomena occur during the immersion of the product in oil at a temperature of 150–200 ºc, where a simultaneous heat and mass transfer take place. this is the most popular thermal processes of potato cooking. this fast drying is critical to improve the mechanical and structural properties of the final product. these conditions lead to high heat transfer rates, rapid cooking...
