Natural convection in square enclosures differentially heated at sides using alumina-water nanofluids with temperature-dependent physical properties [PDF]
Laminar natural convection of Al2O3 + H2O nanofluids inside square cavities differentially heated at sides is studied numerically. A computational code based on the SIMPLE-C algorithm is used for the solution of the system of the mass, momentum and ...

Resolving the fine-scale structure in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection [PDF]
We present high-resolution direct numerical simulation studies of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a closed cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio of one. The focus of our analysis is on the finest scales of convective turbulence, in particular the

Compliant Polymeric Sheet‐Based Heat Exchangers
This work presents flexible, transparent, and deployable polymer heat exchangers that achieve a heat transfer capacity per cost up to 4x higher than the state of the art, surpassing both metal and other polymer counterparts. The tube‐on‐tube design enables efficient heat transfer without flow occlusion, while the lightweight, corrosion‐resistant, and ...

Numerical investigation of nanofluid flow and heat transfer over a backward-facing step
In this research, the forced convection heat transfer of a nanofluid in a channel with a backward- facing step is studied by adopting the finite volume technique. The effect of nanoparticles is considered by employing the single-phase model.
