Experimental Model of Temperature-Driven Nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic experimental method of studying the heat transfer behavior of buoyancy-driven nanofluids, where the authors estimate the range of volume fractions that results in maximum thermal enhancement and the impact of volume fraction on Nusselt number.
Journal ArticleDOI

New correlations of single-phase friction factor for turbulent pipe flow and evaluation of existing single-phase friction factor correlations

TL;DR: In this paper, two new correlations of single-phase friction factor for turbulent flow are proposed, one for smooth pipes and the other for both smooth and rough pipes, which is an idea replacement of the correlations of Blasius and Filonenko.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of mathematical modeling of fixed-bed columns for carbon dioxide adsorption

TL;DR: A review of efforts over the last three decades toward mathematical modeling of the fixed-bed adsorption of carbon dioxide can be found in this paper, where a comprehensive mathematical model consists of coupled partial differential equations distributed over time and space that describe material, energy, and the momentum balances together with transport rates and equilibrium equations.

Heat pipe heat exchanger for heat recovery in air conditioning

TL;DR: In this article, two streams of fresh and return air have been connected with heat pipe heat exchanger to investigate the thermal performance and effectiveness of heat recovery system, and the results showed that the effectiveness and heat transfer for both evaporator and condenser sections are also increased to about 48%, when the inlet fresh air temperature is increased to 40°C.

Effect of PTFE content in microporous layer on water management in PEM fuel cells

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of hydrophobic agent (PTFE) concentration in the microporous layer on the PEM fuel cell performance was investigated using mercury porosimetry, water permeation experiment, and electrochemical polarization technique.
