Sean T. Michaletz,Sean T. Michaletz,Michael D. Weiser,Nate G. McDowell,Jizhong Zhou,Jizhong Zhou,Jizhong Zhou,Michael Kaspari,Michael Kaspari,Brent R. Helliker,Brian J. Enquist +10 more
TL;DR: The theory, parameterized with global averaged leaf traits and microclimate, predicts a moderate level of leaf thermoregulation across a broad air temperature gradient, and predicts that net carbon assimilation can be maximized by means of a trade-off between leaf thermal stability and photosynthetic stability.

Wind heat transfer coefficient in solar collectors in outdoor conditions
Suresh Kumar,S.C. Mullick +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to estimate the wind induced convective heat transfer coefficient by employing unglazed test plate (of size about 0.9 m square) in outdoor conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of flow and heat transfer characteristics in micro pin fin heat sink with nanofluid
TL;DR: In this article, a micro pin fin heat sink is numerically investigated with three fin geometries (square, triangular and circular) in addition to the unfinned microchannel heat sink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second law based optimisation of crossflow plate-fin heat exchanger design using genetic algorithm
TL;DR: A genetic algorithm based optimisation technique has been developed for crossflow plate-fin heat exchangers using offset-strip fins that aims at minimising the number of entropy generation units for a specified heat duty under given space restrictions.
