Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Evaporator Lengths and Ratio of Check Valves to Number of Turns on Internal Flow Patterns of a Closed-Loop Oscillating Heat-Pipe With Check ValvesS. Rittidech, P. Meena, P. TerdtoonA visualization study of the internal flow patterns of a closed-loop oscillating heat-pipe with check valves (CLOHP/CV) at normal operating condition for several evaporator lengths (Le), and ratio of check valves to number of turns (Rcv) has been conducted. This article describes the effects of varying Le, and Rcv on flow patterns. The CLOHP/CV used a Pyrex glass tube with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,266 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Internal Flow Patterns on Heat transfer Performance of a Closed-end Oscillating Heat Pipe at Vertical PositionS. Rittidech, L. Yodluk, K. SongsornThis article describes the effects of varying bond numbers (Bo) and aspect ratios (Le/d) on flow pattern of a close-end oscillating heat-pipe (CEOHP). The CEOHPs used employed a glass tube with inside diameter of 3 mm. The length of evaporator of 100 and 150 mm (the lengths of evaporator adiabatic and condenser section were equal) were employed with 10 turns. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,062 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHeat Transfer and Effectiveness Analysis of a Cross-Flow Heat Exchanger for Potential Energy Recovery Applications in Hot-Humid ClimateA.R.S. Masitah, Mardiana I Ahmad, Y.M. YatimThis paper presents heat transfer and effectiveness analysis based on a physical model of a cross-flow heat exchanger. Using the model, the transferred heat and effectiveness (ε) in terms of temperature and NTU-method are calculated for both hot and cold streams. From the analyses, it is found that as air velocity increases, the transferred heat through heat transfer plates increases. … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 May 2015 · 13,617 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFREE CONVECTION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN FLOW PAST A SEMI-INFINITE FLAT PLATE IN TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD WITH HEAT FLUXP. Geetha, M.B.K. Moorthy, M. DakshinamoorthyA steady two-dimensional MHD free convection of heat transfer in flow past a semi-infinite flat plate in transverse magnetic field with heat flux has been examined. The governing partial differential equation are non-dimensionalised and transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential similarity equations, in a single independent variable η and using Runge-Kutta Gill method with shooting technique. The velocity … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 4 Jul 2014 · 7,059 accessesView PDF Cite

The V-shaped baffles are modified in order to comfortable to installation in the square channel. The plates are used for clamping on both the upper and lower V-shaped baffles resulting the modified V-shaped baffle like orifice … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 6,690 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation Studies on A Cross Flow Plate Fin Heat ExchangerM. Thirumarimurugan, T. Kannadasan, E. RamasamyCompact heat exchangers which were initially developed for the aerospace industries in the 1940s have been considerably improved in the past few years. The main reasons for the good performance of compact heat exchangers are their special design which includes turbulent which in turn use high heat transfer coefficient and resists fouling, and maximum temperature driving force between the hot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,239 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Seasonal Temperature on the Genotypic Variability of Flowering Duration in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) in NigerSani Daouda Ousmane, Mouhamadou Mounkaila Boureima, Maman Nassourou Lawali et al.Heat stress is a major contributor to crop losses worldwide. Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a staple crop for inhabitants of arid and semi-arid regions of the world, due to its extraordinary adaptation to drought and high temperatures. Climate change points to an overall increase in temperature, the effect of which on crop growth and productivity remains to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 30 Nov 2022 · 6,125 accessesView PDF Cite
