Cross-corrugated triangular channels increase heat transfer in heat exchangers. The mixing effect increases the heat transfer coefficient at the surfaces. In this study, the fluid flow and heat transfer in a triangular corrugated channel are modeled under two constant heat fluxes and different Reynolds numbers. In order to validate, k-ω turbulence model is used. Also, the effect of magnetic fie...

abstract one of the most frequently encountered cases of rapid varied flow is the hydraulic jump. it occurs when a supercritical open channel flow changes into sub critical flow. in the present research, the experimental study of the hydraulic jump on seven sinusoidal corrugated beds with different wave steepness. the wave steepness of sinusoidal corrugated beds is in the range of 0.1667 to 0.7...

The performance of corrugated baffles inserted in a rectangular channel heat exchanger is investigated. The fluid flows and thermal distribution are determined via numerical simulations. The working fluid has a shear thinning behavior. The influence of the baffle design is explored, we interest to the “wavy” shape. The corrugation angle of baffle (α) is changed from 0° (i.e. a straight...

The influence of recycling on double-pass solar air collectors with welding of the V-corrugated absorber has been studied experimentally and theoretically. Welding the V-corrugated absorber and the recycle-effect concept to the solar air collector was proposed to strengthen the convective heat-transfer coefficient due to turbulence promotion. Both the recycle effect and the V-corrugated absorbe...

Transport of suspended Brownian particles dc driven along corrugated narrow channels is numerically investigated in the regime of finite damping. We show that inertial corrections cannot be neglected as long as the width of the channel bottlenecks is smaller than an appropriate particle diffusion length, which depends on the the channel corrugation and the drive intensity. With such a diffusion...

Genetic Programming has been used to determine Chèzy resistance coefficient for full circular corrugated channels. Three corrugated plastic pipes have been experimentally studied in order to generate data. The tests aim at measuring hydraulic parameters of the open-channel flow for some slopes, from 3.49–17.37% (2–10°), in order to discover the dependence of the channel resistance coefficient w...

The steady miniaturization of the conventional MOSFET resulted in continuous improvement in integratedcircuit cost and functionality. Planar bulk MOSFET designs face many challenges as they are being scaled down. A segmentedchannel MOSFET (SegFET) device design combines the benefits of both planar bulk MOSFETs and thin-body transistor structures. The salient feature of this device is that the c...

The flow of two superposed viscous fluid layers in a two-dimensional channel confined between a plane and a wavy or indented wall is studied by analytical and numerical methods at arbitrary Reynolds numbers. The interface between the two fluids may exhibit constant or variable surface tension due to an insoluble surfactant. The flow is computed from a specified initial condition using the immer...
