Numerical Study of Laminar Forced Convection of Nanofluid in a New Microchannel Heat Sink
The heat transfer and pressure drop in a microchannel heat sink with 02 mixing chambers with inclined walls were numerically studied. The transport equations have been resolved by the finite volume method using ANSYS Fluent software. The operating fluids

What Exactly is the Nusselt Number in Convective Heat Transfer Problems and are There Alternatives?
The often used Nusselt number is critically questioned with respect to its physical meaning. Based on a rigorous dimensional analysis, alternative assessment numbers are found that in a systematic way separately account for the quantitative and ...

Experimental Estimation of Temporal and Spatial Resolution of Coefficient of Heat Transfer in a Channel Using Inverse Heat Transfer Method [PDF]
In this research, a novel method to investigation the transient heat transfer coefficient in a channel is suggested experimentally, in which the water flow, itself, is considered both just liquid phase and liquid-vapor phase. The experiments were designed to predict the temporal and spatial resolution of Nusselt number.

Bounds for rotating convection at infinite Prandtl number from semidefinite programs [PDF]
Bounds for the poloidal and toroidal kinetic energies and the heat transport are computed numerically for rotating convection at infinite Prandtl number with both no slip and stress free boundaries. The constraints invoked in this computation are linear or quadratic in the problem variables and lead to the formulation of a semidefinite program.

Use of Fin Equation to Calculate Nusselt Numbers for Rotating Discs [PDF]
Conduction in thin discs can be modelled using the fin equation, and there are analytical solutions of this equation for a circular disc with a constant heat-transfer coefficient. However, convection (particularly free convection) in rotating-disc systems is a conjugate problem: the heat transfer in the fluid and the solid are coupled, and the relative

OPTIMAL NETWORK ARCHITECTURE FOR NUSSELT NUMBER AND FRICTION FACTOR
This present research uses artifical neural networks (ANNs) to determine Nusselt numbers and friction factors for nine different baffle plate inserted tubes. MATLAB toolbox was used to search better network configuration prediction by using commonly used multilayer feed-forward neural networks (MLFNN) with back propagation (BP) learning algorithm with ...

Radial boundary layer structure and Nusselt number in Rayleigh–Bénard convection [PDF]
Results from direct numerical simulation (DNS) for three-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell of aspect ratio 1/2 and Prandtl number Pr=0.7 are presented. They span five decades of Rayleigh number Ra from 2 × 106 to 2 × 1011. The results are in good agreement with the experimental data of Niemela et al. (Nature, vol.
