Mass transfer in vascular access ports
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical simulations have been performed to evaluate the fluid flow and mass transfer processes that occur in a human-body vascular-access port, which is used to facilitate the frequent introduction of cleansed blood and other drugs into the body from external sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of yaw on heat transfer in a cuplike cavity facing a freestream flow
Ephraim M Sparrow,X. Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed wind tunnel experiments to determine the response of the heat transfer coefficient at the base of an open-ended cylindrical cavity to yawed (i.e., nonperpendicular) impingement of the freestream flow on the cavity opening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of heat transfer by local injection of fluid into a turbulent tube flow
TL;DR: In this article, it was demonstrated that local fluid injection into a turbulent tube flow gives rise to substantial increases in the heat transfer coefficients in the region downstream of the injection station, where fluid was injected into a mainstream flow through a ring of discrete holes situated just upstream of an electrically heated test section.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of Laminar Axisymmetric Buoyant Plumes: A Case Study of the Anatomy of Similarity Solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation of the laminar buoyant plume created by a heated sphere situated in an otherwise quiescent environment is presented, where the authors obtain a numerically exact solution of the equations representing mass, momentum, and energy conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Professor suhas v. Patankar on his 60th birthday
J. C. Chai,R. B. Baliga,Kailash C. Karki,Kanchan M. Kelkar,A. Radmehr,W. J. Minkowycz,Ephraim M Sparrow +6 more
TL;DR: Patankar's 60th birthday was celebrated in 2001 as discussed by the authors, where he presented the numerical heat transfer (NHT) algorithm for the first time, and discussed its application in various applications.
