Natural circulation boiling systems consisting of parallel channels can undergo different types of oscillations (in-phase or out-of-phase) depending on the geometric parameters and operating conditions. The coupling between ...

The aim of the present work is to get an insight of the phenomena behind the low-pressure low-power transients that occur during startup of a natural circulation boiling system. A RELAP5 model developed for a test facility ...

The electrophoretic motion of a non-uniformly charged particle in an Oldroyd-B fluid is analysed here in the limit of thin electrical double layers. To this end, we analytically derive expressions for the modified Smoluchowski ...

In the present work, we have synthesized reduced graphene oxide supported ZnCo2O4 microspheres (MSs) using a simple hydrothermal process. The porous shield consistency of rGO@ZnCo2O4 microspheres (MSs) brings a three-time ...

Many food materials are dried to enhance shelf-life. Drying is an energy-intensive process, and accurate drying models could be used in real time process control of drying equipment to drive cost optimizations. However, ...

The effects of different axisymmetric forebody shapes have been studied on the non-axisymmetric (helical) global modes of the boundary layer developed on a circular cylinder. Sharp cone, ellipsoid and paraboloid shapes ...

The need for developing sustainable manufacturing processes which should have a good balance between economic viability and environmental protection is one of the key challenges against manufacturers. The conventional ...

A linear aerospike nozzle is a kind of altitude adaptive nozzle that has optimum performance over the entire operational range. In this work, flow characteristics of a linear plug nozzle and a truncated plug with 40% plug ...
