Abstract Pulsating Heat Pipes (PHP) are promising and effective passive two-phase heat transfer devices in terms of high capability, efficient thermal control, adaptability low cost therefore they have been extensively studied the last years. Many authors estimated fluxes at evaporator condenser area only average values based on first principle considerations. In present study application an in...

In this paper, a modified two-fluid model has been adopted to simulate the process of upward vertical subcooled flow boiling of refrigerant R-113 in a vertical annular channel at low pressure. The modified model considers temperature dependent properties and saturation temperature variation and was validated against a number of published low-pressure subcooled boiling experiments. The results s...

Laser forming is a modern process which is mainly used for forming metals. Different Lasers are used in this regard that includes Nd: YAG and CO2. In this study, forming bi-layer sheets of Aluminum/Ceramic by Laser was investigated. Furthermore, effect of Uniform and Gaussian heat flux distribution in different power, velocity, and beam diameters on bending angle was studied. FEM simulation ind...

Peak heat flow occurs at mid-ocean ridges and decreases with the age of the oceanic lithosphere. Several plate models, including the Parsons and Sclater (PSM) model, Global Depth and Heat (GDH1) model and Constant Heat flow Applied on the Bottom Lithospheric Isotherm (CHABLIS) model, have been used to predict heat flow in the ocean lithosphere. The discrepancy between the predicted and measured...

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 ...

in this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in kerman province, southeast iran. geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. however, few direct heat flux measurements are available for iran. given the proved relation between curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...
