With increasing energy cost and constraints on emission standards, there is a strong need to reduce energy consumption and/or increase equipment efficiency. Refrigeration systems are the third largest use of electricity ...

In this paper, one-dimensional coupled heat and mass transfer is studied using the finite volume method. The simulated results are compared with the experimental results and show good agreements with the experimental data. ...

Effective zones of high pressure coolant (HPC) have been identified in turning performing a wide range of machining operations on 304 stainless steel using uncoated carbide inserts. The effects of triple coolant jets on ...

Moving bed heat exchangers (MBHEs) are used in various industrial processes. Recently, analytical solutions to several MBHE heat transfer problems have been presented in the literature. In this work, the mathematical ...

Around 40% of the total energy in USA is consumed by buildings, and about $370 billion US dollar is spent each year to supply this energy and thus reduction in energy consumption is extremely important. One of the most ...

Thermal oil heaters can be considered as an alternative to steam boilers for process heating use. Instead of boiling water, thermal oil heaters use heat transfer oils with high boiling points which allows operation at low ...

The supercritical water-cooled reactor was proposed as one of the Generation IV nuclear systems. Although many research works on the fluid flow and heat transfer of supercritical water in circular channels have been ...

In this paper we study the thermal performance of a 5 kW rectifier module experimentally and numerically, with the aim of changing the cooling methodology from an active cooled (fan cooled) to a passively cooled system. ...

A first principle study is conducted to explore the phonon thermal transport in a buckled arsenene monolayer (Beta-As) subjected to tensile strain. The results showed that the thermal conductivity first decreases with ...

Herein we present the design of infrared mirror coatings for the enhanced performance of incandescent lighting. We consider single and stacked dielectric mirrors comprised of alternating layers of TCO and SiO2 nanoparticle ...
