TL;DR: In this paper, the steady state heat transfer characteristics of a thin vertical strip with internal heat generation were studied and the non-dimensional temperature distribution in the strip was obtained as a function of the following parameters: (a) the intensity and distribution of the internal heat sources, (b) the aspect ratio of the strip, (c) the longitudinal heat conductance, and (d) the Prandtl number of the fluid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the purely electro-osmotic flow of a viscoelastic liquid, which obeys the simplified Phan-Thien-Tanner (sPTT) constitutive equation, is solved numerically and asymptotically by using the lubrication approximation.

TL;DR: In this article, the entropy generation rate in a purely electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in a parallel flat plate microchannel is studied, where the power-law model is used for the rheological constitutive equation of the fluid under consideration.

TL;DR: In this article, an appropriate combination of the momentum equation together with the rheological Maxwell model leads to a hyperbolic partial differential equation that permits to determine the velocity profile, which is found analytically by the method of separation of variables.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a closed-loop thermal control analysis of a transcritical refrigeration cycle, operating with CO2 as working fluid, using a lumped energy balance model to derive a set of non-linear first order differential equations for the gas cooler and the evaporator.
