Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pulsating Circular Hot Air Jet Frequencies on Local and Average Nusselt NumberRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffThe study was carried out to determine the effect of pulsating frequencies on the local and average heat transfer characteristic of a heated circular air jet. The velocity profile of a heated circular pulsating air jet was measured in the first part of the study. The same set-up was used to measure the heat flux of the pulsating jet impinging … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,503 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAir Blast Freezing of Lime Juice: Effect of Processing ParametersWasan Theansuwan, Kitrichai TriratanasirichaiThis research characterized the effects of air velocity and lime juice layer thickness on freezing time. In the experiment, the air velocity of the freezer and the thickness of the lime juice layer were set to be 4-12 m sec-1 and 4-10 mm, respectively. The temperatures of the lime juice were measured from 15°C until it reached -20°C and were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,457 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovement of the Vertical Dispersion of Pollutants Resulting From Chimneys by Thermosiphon EffectA. O.M. Mahmoud, J. Zinoubi, R. B. Maad, A. BelghithThe dispersion of pollutants, resulting from industrial chimneys, in the surrounding atmosphere made the interest in realizing emitting conditions appears. It also encourages the vertical dispersion of these pollutants. At a given wind velocity, the height of this dispersion is essentially a function of the thermal power and the flow rate at the chimney exit. To improve these qualities, we … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,411 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of the Integration of Wind Turbines into the Design of the Built EnvironmentHassam Nasarullah Chaudhry, John Kaiser Calautit, Ben Richard HughesThe effect of wind distribution on the architectural domain of the Bahrain Trade Centre was numerically analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Using the numerical data, the power generation potential of the building integrated wind turbines was determined in response to the prevailing wind direction. Simulating a reference wind speed of 6 m/s, the findings from the study quantified an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvective Heat Transport in an Unconfined Aquifer Induced by the Field Injection of an Open-Loop Groundwater Heat PumpStefano Lo Russo, Glenda TaddiaProblem statement: The increasing diffusion of low-enthalpy geothermal open-loop Groundwater Heat Pumps (GWHP) providing buildings air conditioning requires a careful assessment of the overall effects on groundwater system, especially in the urban areas. The impact on the groundwater temperature in the surrounding area of the re-injection well is directly linked to the aquifer properties. Physical processes affecting heat transport within … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,974 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Size of Heated Obstruction within Room on Three Dimensional Air Flow CharacteristicsAbduljabbar Muttair Ahmed, Mukhtar Ahmad, Abdur RahimProblem statement: This study reported a numerical investigation of three-dimensional turbulent buoyant recirculating flow within a room with heated obstruction. Approach: The study involved the solution of partial differential equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, concentration, turbulent energy and its dissipation rate. These equations were solved together with algebraic expressions for the turbulent viscosity and the heat diffusivity, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 6,942 accessesView PDF Cite
