information on the thermophysical properties of the iranian ultrafiltrated (uf) white cheese is very limited. in this research, those thermal properties determined experimentally were thermal conductivity, specific heat, density and water activity. the thermal conductivity and specific heat of iranian ultrafiltrated white cheese (iufwc) ranged from 0.447 to 0.480 w m-1 °c-1 and from 3.871 to 4....

the present paper investigates turbulent mixed convection - radiation flow between two vertical parallel plates kept at different temperatures with variable thermophysical properties. the reynolds number, based on channel half-width and friction velocity and the grashof number, based on channel width and wall temperature difference, were assumed to be 150 and 1.6×106, respectively. numerical si...

Over the last few decades, researchers have developed a number of empirical and theoretical models for the correlation and prediction of the thermophysical properties of pure fluids and mixtures treated as pseudo-pure fluids. In this paper, a survey of all the state-of-the-art formulations of thermophysical properties is presented. The most-accurate thermodynamic properties are obtained from mu...

The present paper summarizes the activities at LTT-Erlangen on the field of thermophysical properties research for pure refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures. For the characterization of their thermophysical properties dynamic light scattering (DLS) has been intensively applied as a key tool during the past two decades. Beside a representation of the essential features of DLS for the determinat...

In this paper, the natural convection heat transfer of Al2O3-EG-water nanofluid in a rectangular cavity which is heated from the bottom and is cooled from the top has been investigated numerically. The governing equations for a Newtonian fluid have been solved numerically with a finite volume approach using the SIMPLER algorithm. The main focus of the current study is on the effects of variable...
