(2014-05-08)The heat transfer behaviors of non-Newtonian fluids under laminar flow conditions in circular tubes are presented in this study. The constant wall heat flux is considered as a boundary condition for dilute polymer solutions ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The inlet temperature of modern gas turbine engines has been increased to achieve higher thermal efficiency and increased output. The blade edge regions, including the blade tip, the leading edge, and the platform, are ...
-
(2012-10-05)Nanofluids, a new class of fluids engineered by suspending nanometer-sized particles in a host liquid, are offered as a new strategy in order to improve heat and mass transfer efficiency. My research was motivated by ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems have been gaining increasing popularity for space conditioning in residential and commercial buildings. The geothermal heat exchanger (GHE) is devised for extraction or injection ...
-
(2012-11-20)In this work, a source term model for estimating the rate of spreading and vaporization of LNG on land and sea is introduced. The model takes into account the composition changes of the boiling mixture, the varying ...
-
(2017-04-27)As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more widely available, they are being applied to an ever-widening range of tasks, especially in areas that are inaccessible or dangerous to humans. Of particular interest is the ...
-
(2020-04-21)Here, a number of analytic and computational models are utilized to study the transient thermomechanical response of heterogeneous materials. The models account for thermal stresses generated by incompatibilities in thermal ...
-
(2012-02-14)The present work seeks to investigate the thermal hydraulic (heat transfer and fluid dynamics) behavior of supercritical (Sc) fluids at both the fundamental and applied levels. The thermal hydraulics of these fluids is not ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The effects on heat transfer in a two-dimensional parallel plate channel with sixteen porous baffles in a staggered arrangement with a uniform heat flux heating applied to the top and bottom walls has been numerically ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This experimental study consists of two parts. For the first part, the film cooling effectiveness for a single row of seven cylindrical holes with a compound angle is measured on a flat surface using five different ...
-
(2012-10-19)Spray cooling is a promising technique which is used to remove large amounts of heat from surfaces. It is characterized by uniform heat removal, low droplet impact velocity and better cooling efficiency when compared to ...
-
(1979)Drilling technology is limited to temperatures less than 350° C. When drilling into magma, temperatures in the 350° - 1100° C range will be encountered, therefore the cooling of the drill bit environment to a temperature ...
-
(2020-07-08)An emerging trend in the nuclear community is to utilize RANS based turbulence models to supplement thermal-hydraulic system codes in the design of Generation-IV (Gen-IV) power reactors. Prior to full integration into the ...
-
(1984)Several processes are candidates for use in a microminiature cryocooler. They are an adiabatic demagnetization cycle, a surface heat pumping cycle, and a cycle based on Joule-Thomson expansion. The later is chosen for ...
