CO2 cooling systems are the wave of the future for industrial refrigeration. CO2 refrigeration systems are gaining traction in recent years which involves heat transfer between CO2 and the base fluid. The high viscosity ...

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 ...

The present paper describes a numerical study on the steady state wall-to-bed heat transfer characteristics of circulating fluidized bed (CFB) riser of cross section 0.15 m × 0.15 m and height 2.85 (m). 3-D CFD simulations ...

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 ...
