The temperature field inside a "truncated" wedge is investigated.
For this purpose the two dimensional Green's function of the
heat equation for this domain is established. Further applications of
these results center around a problem of heat conduction investigated
by Lebedev.
Recycling of water in aquaculture facilities is used to minimize the amount of energy or tempered water required to control water temperatures. The rate of heat exchange between the water and the environment can be an important variable in the design, management, and economic analysis of a recycle system. A...
A purpose built facility was designed, built and operated at the Advanced Thermal Hydraulic Research Laboratory, which is located at Oregon State University. This facility was used to heat a plate of Alloy 304 Stainless Steel to 800 °C and then cool the plate using a fine mist of water...
A complete analytical model of radiative and convective heat
transfer to a horizontal tube in small and large particle gas fluidized
beds has been developed. In the model the bed of particles
consists of an emulsion phase and a bubble phase. The emulsion phase
is approximated by a series of...
The problem of simple mathematical models of laminar natural convective
flow within a long vertical parallel-plate channels and circular tubes kept at
uniformly heated walls is revisited to seek a clear physical understanding of heat
transfer mechanisms. A series solution method to analyze the fully developed flow
and an integral...
A first generation, one-dimensional predictive model is proposed for designing heat sinks with fractal flow networks. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is analyzed as a means for validating the model and identifying areas for improvement. Two separate CFD models were developed. One was analyzed with conjugate heat transfer...
Heat transfer to moving packed beds of solids has been studied
extensively but predictions are usually specific to the experimenter's
own equipment. In order to obtain a more general predictive equation,
the heat transfer coefficient was measured for a single vertical tube
immersed in a moving packed bed of glass...
A two-dimensional model for predicting the rate of radiation
heat transfer for the interior of an industrial furnace is described.
The model is two-dimensional due to the assumptions of the heat
source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as rows of
parallel tubes that are both infinite...
