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...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

background: lactoperoxidase (lpo) is one of the most heat-stable enzymes in milk and its inactivation has been proposed for monitoring thermal processes. the aim of this study was to provide information on activity and thermal inactivation behavior of lpo in iranian cow and buffalo milk and whey. methods: sixty cow and buffalo milk samples were collected. the lpo activity was measured using spe...

The intention of this study is the analysis of thermal behavior of functionally graded beam (FGB). The distribution of material properties is imitated exponential function. For thermal loading the steady state of heat conduction with exponentially and hyperbolic variations through the thickness of FGB, is considered. With comparing of thermal behavior of both isotropic beam and FGB, it is appea...

synthesis, identification and thermal behavior studies of nanoparticles cobalt (ii) bromide has been studied in this research. cobalt (ii) bromide was synthesized by planetary high-energy ball mill. the general formula of this compound is cobr2.6h2o. the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and also size and structure of synthesized nanoparticl...

A packed bed thermal storage has several desirable characteristics to be used for energy storage. The behavior of packed bed is predicted by set of differential equations. A numerical solution is developed for packed bed storage tank accounting to the secondary phenomena of thermal losses and conduction effect. The effect of heat loss to surrounding (K1), conduction effect (K2) and air capacita...

a series of polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites have been fabricated with varying amounts of tio2 viz., 0, 0.5 and 1 % w/w along with 3% ts by in-situ polymerization method. the influence of surface modified tio2 nanoparticles on the thermal properties of ps matrix was examined using thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. thermal characteristics of the polystyrene/ts/tio2 hybrid ...
