On the Nusselt number correlations of tandem surrogate firebrands on a flat surface. [PDF]
Through the heat-mass transfer analogy, naphthalene sublimation experiments were conducted in a heated-air wind tunnel to study the effects of aspect ratio and dimensionless separation distance on the convective heat transfer coefficients of three tandem naphthalene cylinders.

Numerical investigation of hydrodynamic nanofluid convective flow in a porous enclosure
In this study, the steady state behavior of natural convection transport on a nanofluid in square enclosure was studied. The model equations were solved using Comsol Multiphysics; a solver for partial differential Navier–Stokes equations based on a two ...

Numerical Investigation of Nanofluid Flow over a Backward Facing Step
Nanofluid flow over a backward facing step was investigated numerically at low Reynolds number and the heat transfer was analyzed and reported. Al2O3–H2O nanofluids of different volume fractions (φ = 1–5%) were used as the material with uniform heat flux

Enhanced visualisation of complex thermofluid data: Vertical and horizontal combined convection and microscale heat transfer cases [PDF]
Copyright @ 2000 UITIn general, convective heat transfer is an 'n-dimensional' problem where n is well in excess of 3 for steady flows. Traditionally, the method of dimensional analysis results in a small number of dimensionless groups.
