In this study, for the first time, the heat transfer and the pressure drop of zinc oxide nanoparticles in alternating elliptical axis (AEA) tube have been investigated experimentally. The zinc oxide nanoparticles were at volumetric concentrations 1% and 2%. The base fluid was heat transfer oil and the experiments were conducted at constant wall temperature. Also, the study was done in Reynolds ...

Abstract-The complete solution for an embedded elliptical crack in an infinite solid and subjected to arbitrary tractions on the crack surface is rederived from Vijayakumar and Atluri’s general solution procedure. The general procedure for evaluating the necessary elliptic integrals in the generalized solution for elliptical crack is also derived in this paper. The generalized solution is emplo...

As a kind of important flexible joint, two-axis flexure hinges can realize in-plane and out-of-plane motions and can be used for constructing flexure-based spatial compliant mechanisms. The paper introduces a common two-axis elliptical-arc-filleted flexure hinge that is generated by two different elliptical-arc-filleted cutout profiles and that provides some new hinge types. The analytical comp...

Fe3O4 nanofluid fully developed forced convection inside a copper tube is empirically investigated under the effect of a magnetic field. All of the investigations are performed under laminar flow regime (670≤Re≤1700) and thermal boundary conditions of the tube with uniform thermal flux. The tube is under the effect of a magnetic field in certain points. This research aims to study the effect of...

Background: Heat exchanger is a device in many industrial applications and energy conversion systems. Various heat exchangers are designed for different industrial processes and applications. Shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) has its own importance in the process industries. Methods: Experimental and numerical simulations are carried for a single shell and multiple pass heat exchangers with ...

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the behavior magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave modes that propagate in compressible magnetic flux tubes with an elliptical cross section embedded a environment. dispersion relation describes MHD permitted tube solved numerically. Distortion spatial structure purely real eigenmodes from well-known circular model has been considered. It studied under bo...

We present an accurate method to compute the minimum distance between a point and an elliptical torus, which is called the orthogonal projection problem. The basic idea is to transform a geometric problem into finding the unique real solution of a quartic equation, which is fit for orthogonal projection of a point onto the elliptical torus. Firstly, we discuss the corresponding orthogonal proje...

In this work, the sharp focusing of a laser beam whose initial polarization pattern is formed by superposition cylindrical mth-order vector and homogeneous linearly polarized considered theoretically numerically. Although in source plane such both angular spin momentum third Stokes parameter are equal to zero, we reveal that given odd m, subwavelength local regions focal plane, where transverse...
