Different modifications are suggested and applied to improve the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Thermo-Economics Analysis of the Optimum Thickness of Double-Layer Insulation for Air Conditioning DuctN. Soponpongpipat, P. Jaruyanon, S. NanetoeProblem statement: Engineering economics played an important role in engineering design works. The net saving value was the easiest criterion to indicate the optimum design. However, the information about the net saving analysis of double-layer insulation of air conditioning duct was insufficient. Thus, it was important to study this case. Approach: The optimum thickness analysis of air conditioning duct’s insulation, … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,725 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstablishment, Verification and Application of a Correlation to Predict the Maximum Heat Flux of a Horizontal Closed-Loop Pulsating Heat PipeNiti Kammuang-Lue, Teerasak Hudakorn, Pradit TerdtoonProblem statement: In heat pipe design, it was very important to be sure that the desired heat pipe would not operate in the MHF state. In the case of a vertical CLPHP, the MHF state and maximum heat flux could be predicted by using the correlation, while, in the case of a horizontal CLPHP, there had been no study presented … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
