Creator:: Tang, Hong
Abstract:: Natural convection provides a means for circulating fluids without the use of pumps. This type of system is of great interest for a wide variety of applications, including solar heaters, process industry, and nuclear reactors. Natural convection will play a vital role in the area of passive safety and reliability,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: He, Xiaoliang
Abstract:: With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, is performed for an axisymmetric, confined jet impingement experiencing boiling and coupled with vapor extraction. Boiling occurs at the target surface while...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Faghri, Mohammad
Abstract:: This thesis is concerned with the analysis of heat transfer in a tube with forced flow under conditions of an arbitrary variation of wall heat flux both axially and circumferentially. This total study is separated into two distinct problems which are presented separately. The first is the case of a...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Al-Alusi, Thamir R.
Abstract:: Convection heat transfer was experimentally investigated for two different geometries. One case had three horizontal cylinders in a vertical plane placed between two vertical walls. The second case had three horizontal cylinders in a vertical plane with only one vertical wall. Several different cylinder center-tocenter spacings were investigated. The wall...

Creator:: Rasouli, Erfan
Abstract:: The ever increasing requirements for heat dissipation in various thermal management applications such as computer chip cooling and high power electronics have necessitated the need for novel thermal management techniques. Thermal management using heat sinks with microscale features is amongst the prominent techniques developed over the past two decades. In...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Goshayeshi, Ali
Abstract:: An experimental study is described in which time-average local heat transfer coefficients were obtained for arrays of horizontal tubes immersed in a hot fluidized bed. Spatial-averaged heat transfer coefficients, computed from local values, are also reported. Refractory particles with surface mean diameters of 2.14 mm and 3.23 mm were fluidized...
