TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an experimental investigation of the solid-liquid phase change process of three natural paraffin waxes, which show slightly different melting temperature: 53, 57, and 59 degrees at three heat fluxes: 6.25, 12.5, and 18.75 degrees.
194 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the entropy generation for natural convection in a partitioned cavity, with adiabatic horizontal and isothermally cooled vertical walls, by both a FORTRAN code and the commercially available CFD-ACE software.
123 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of fin number density on the melting rate of a solid phase change material within an annulus where the inner and outer pipes were subjected to constant wall temperature.
116 citations
TL;DR: The highest heat transfer augmentation in the present investigation was about 26% and 36% for turbulent and laminar range, respectively compared with pure water.
115 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study has been conducted to examine the heat transfer from a metal foam-wrapped tube bundle and the effect of key parameters, including free stream velocity, longitudinal and transversal tube pitch, metal foam thickness and characteristics of the foam (such as porosity, permeability, and form drag coefficient) on heat and fluid flow are examined.

TL;DR: The boundary layer equations for plane, incompressible, and steady flow are described in this paper, where the boundary layer equation for plane incompressibility is defined in terms of boundary layers.
Abstract: The boundary layer equations for plane, incompressible, and steady flow are
$$\matrix{ {u{{\partial u} \over {\partial x}} + v{{\partial u} \over {\partial y}} = - {1 \over \varrho }{{\partial p} \over {\partial x}} + v{{{\partial ^2}u} \over {\partial {y^2}}},} \cr {0 = {{\partial p} \over {\partial y}},} \cr {{{\partial u} \over {\partial x}} + {{\partial v} \over {\partial y}} = 0.} \cr }$$

TL;DR: In this article, cross-correlation methods of interrogation of successive single-exposure frames can be used to measure the separation of pairs of particle images between successive frames, which can be optimized in terms of spatial resolution, detection rate, accuracy and reliability.
Abstract: To improve the performance of particle image velocimetry in measuring instantaneous velocity fields, direct cross-correlation of image fields can be used in place of auto-correlation methods of interrogation of double- or multiple-exposure recordings. With improved speed of photographic recording and increased resolution of video array detectors, cross-correlation methods of interrogation of successive single-exposure frames can be used to measure the separation of pairs of particle images between successive frames. By knowing the extent of image shifting used in a multiple-exposure and by a priori knowledge of the mean flow-field, the cross-correlation of different sized interrogation spots with known separation can be optimized in terms of spatial resolution, detection rate, accuracy and reliability.
