Boiling heat transfer is widely used in many practical applications due to significantly high heat transfer coefficients (HTC) associated with it. Several surface modification techniques are known to further improve the ...

Redox flow batteries have seen interest in electronic applications because of their potential to simultaneously deliver electric power and remove heat. For these applications, the flow battery has to be constructed on a ...

Shortage of feedstock supply often happens in biomass gasification. Thus, the cogasification of blended biomass is a potential option to maintain feedstock supply for continuous gasification operations. The aim of this ...

Cool air supplied from a raised floor plenum is the most common cooling technique employed in any electronic data center. Many factors lead to the presence of obstructions in the under-floor plenum chamber. However, detailed ...

Youngs modulus is one measure of texture, an important quality parameter in processed food materials. During thermal drying, the Youngs modulus undergoes significant variation due to moisture loss and rubbery-glassy state ...

We present an analytic closed form solution for anisotropic change in compliance due to the spatial evolution of planar wing-cracks in a material subjected to largely compressive loading. A fully three-dimensional anisotropic ...

Thermal effects on the vortex shedding of a circular cylinder are studied numerically under laminar flow conditions for flows along (parallel but in a direction opposite) and perpendicular to the direction of gravity. When ...

This work is a review article focused on exploring the interactions between external and induced electric fields and fluid motion, in the presence of embedded charges. Such interactions are generally termed electrohydrodynamics ...

The study of the transport properties is very important for understanding various interactions in electronic systems. These properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermoelectric coefficients ...
