This article explores the influence of natural convection heat transfer in a square enclosure with hexagonal block filled by Al2O3-H2O nanofluid in presence of external magnetic field. The two vertical walls of the enclosure are kept at constant cold...

Flight in the vicinity of the ground is known to be more efficient than flight in a free air stream. However, a nose-down pitching moment created by a typical cambered airfoil generally increases due to ground effect. Thus, a larger tail for the airc...

In the present study, the commencement of double-diffusive convection with an internal heat source is studied using a linear instability analysis. The system consists of a fluid layer on top of a porous layer saturated with the same fluid. The bounda...

In this study, we were interested in free convective heat transfer into cavities with finned surface. The hot horizontal bottom wall with attached fins was under variable (sinusoidal) surface temperature while the cold one, on the upper wall side, wa...

Metal foam has found its way in many engineering industries due to its ability to improve the heat transfer rate in thermal applications. Thermal energy storage based on phase change materials (PCMs) have significant importance as a part of renewable...

This paper describes the experiments to determine the convective heat transfer coefficients on a synthetic heat transfer fluid flowing in a Shell-and-Tube heat exchanger. The analysis of results is carried out by application of the Wilson plot Techni...
