Impingement cooling is a mechanism of heat transfer by means of collision, and can be achieved when a fluid jet strikes a surface. Multiple impinging jets increases rates of heat transfer considerably in comparison with ...

Novel approaches for solar energy conversion are increasingly garnering research and commercial interest, particularly as hybrid thermal and electrical energy sources. Additionally, the need for systems capable of producing ...

This research aims at evaluating the original heating system of the 16th century historic bath (hamam) section of Suleymaniye Hospital (Darüşşifa), a part of Süleymaniye Mosque Complex in Istanbul, in terms of its original ...

Oil condition and contamination can be a major issue in lubrication systems such as aircraft, automobiles etc. Lubricating or cooling oil contamination occurs when metallic or non-metallic particles are produced due to ...

Drag reducing solutions can reduce turbulent pressure loss by nearly 90% and can decrease pumping energy requirements and increase flow rates in fluid flow systems. Unfortunately, drag reduced flow is accompanied by ...

More new stringent regulations have made fouling one of the major problems affecting the design of EGR systems since their performance must be warranted over the life time of the vehicle. Soot deposition and hydrocarbon ...

Meta-heuristic approaches have been used to achieve good solutions in the heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis task. Several meta-heuristic approaches have been proposed in the literature. Two of the most important ...

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) is one of saving energy systems for air conditioning. However, the GSHP is not popular in Japan because an initial cost of the GSHP is higher than an air source heat pump. This paper describes ...

While optical cavitation creates and directs potent localized flows non-intrusively, the resulting thermal dynamics are uniquely difficult to characterize. The acoustic shockwaves produced by cavitation damage submersed ...

The heat transfer performance of the conventional fluids used in heat exchange processes improves by dispersing nanoparticles with high thermal conductivity, as many researches have shown in the last decades. The heat ...
