in recent years, impinging streams have received increasing interest for their high efficiency in heat and mass transfer. this numerical study was conducted to investigate flow and heat transfer characteristics of one-way opposing jets of non-newtonian fluids. effects of reynolds number impinging angle, momentum ratio and flow behavior index on mixing index were evaluated. the results showed im...

thin bonded films have many applications in antireflection and reflection coating, insulating and conducting films and semiconductor industries. thermal conductivity is one of the most important parameter for power packaging since the thermal resistance of the interconnections is directly related to the heat removal capability and thermal management of the power package. the defects in material...

the previous studies have been suggested that to tolerance,sensitivity and pain threshold are different between men and women.these differences can be affected by various factors.in this study,the effect of gonadectomy on gender differences in thermal pain sense threshold was tested hot plate method in rats.therefore the reaction time(the delay occurred in response to thermal stimulus)at zero,1...

This artcile is concerned with thermal buckling and thermal induced free vibration analyses of PCPs (perforated composite plates) with simply supported edges applying a mathematical model. The stiffness and density of PCP are defined locally using Heaviside distribution functions. The governing equations are derived based on CLPT. The present solution gives reasonable results in comparison with...

productivity of an oil well is an important parameter in any oil field development. low production rate of the wells, impose more production wells drilling which directly jeopardizes the economical feasibility of the project. oil production rate in some of the wells is very low due to low permeability of the reservoir rock. several practice like hydraulic fracturing and acid fracturing is very ...

This study examines how thermal creep affects the mixed convection in a long horizontal parallel-plate microchannel under a pressure drop and a temperature rise. The analytical solutions of the fully developed thermal-flow fields and the corresponding characteristics are derived based on the Maxwell boundary conditions with thermal creep and presented for the physical properties of air at the s...

In this paper, Wavelet Collocation Method has been used to solve nonlinear fin problem with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. Thermal conductivity of fin materials varies any type so that we consider thermal conductivity as the general function of temperature.  Here we consider three particular cases, where we assume that thermal conductivity is constant,...

We report here the effect of thermal annealing on the thermal conductivity of ZnTe nanowires measured on a microfabricated suspended device. Molecular dynamics simulation was used to calculate the effect of contacts on the measurements at different temperatures and to estimate the intrinsic nanowire thermal conductivity values. A decrease in thermal conductivity was observed after each thermal ...
