Kim, Ick Chan (2009-05-15)An investigation was conducted to determine whether a “size effect” phenomenon for one particular thermophysical property, thermal conductivity, actually exists for amorphous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films with ...
-
Achanta, Vamsee Satish (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In this work, we study the enhanced endwall heat transfer for flow past non conducting pin fin arrays. The aim is to resolve the controversy over the heat transfer that is taking place from the endwall and the pin ...
-
Husain, Syed Rahmat (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The Control Volume Based Finite Element Method (CVFEM) has been extended in two main aspects. The first is the integration of the vorticity-streamfunction formulation with the CVFEM. The key contribution of this work is ...
-
Lee, Kurn Chul (2009-05-15)High Mach-number compressible flows with heat release are inherently more complicated than incompressible flows due to, among other reasons, the activation of the thermal energy mode. Such flow fields can experience ...
-
Lee, Sang Won (2009-06-02)The heat transfer characteristics of airflows in serpentine cooling channels in stator vanes of gas turbines and the novel QuTech® Heat Pipe (QTHP) for electronic cooling applications were studied. The cooling channels are ...
-
Ko, Kang-Hoon (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)An experimental and numerical investigation of heat transfer enhancement in a three dimensional channel using wall mounted porous baffles was conducted. The module average heat transfer coefficients were measured in a ...
-
Choi, Joon-Min (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Heat transfer in a two-dimensional serpentine channel with a series of right angle turns was investigated experimentally and numerically. Similar channel geometry can be found typically in heat exchangers, thermal regenerators, ...
