Abstract The structural parameter, elastic anisotropy, and thermal properties of cubic MgIn₂S₄ under pressures is examined using first principles techniques. The determined lattice constant exhibits a high level of concurrence with the values reported in existing literature. Based on the mechanical characteristics, there is an observed enhancement in both ductility and anisotropy of MgIn₂S₄ under increased pressure. The investigation focuses on the thermal characteristics, encompassing the impact of temperature and pressure on key parameters such as Debye temperature, Grüneisen constant et al. More >

Abstract This article aims to reveal the transient thermal characteristics of the solid domain in a nozzle flowmeter when measuring fluids of varying temperatures. Based on finite element method, the transient numerical calculation of the thermal characteristics of each component of the nozzle flowmeter has been conducted. The research shows that: as the fluid passes through the flowmeter, the high heat flux area inside the nozzle flowmeter gradually transfer from the center of the nozzle to the inlet and outlet, as well as the pressure tapping points upstream and downstream; High thermal stress zones are present More >

Abstract This study compares thermal characteristics of two design versions of a new low-cost air-cooling system with a standard heat sink profile and built-in flat heat pipes of a simple design with a similar cooling system design without the heat pipes. The aim of the work is to determining the thermal characteristics and choosing the most effective option in a practical context. Using computer simulation in the Solidworks Flow Simulation standard software package allowed determining how the temperature of 8 transistors with a total power of 224 W was affected by changes in air velocity from… More >

Abstract In this study, the hydrothermal water flow characteristics using a dimpled inner tube heat exchanger are investigated experimentally and numerically. A numerical analysis has performed on two types of dimpled tubes (In-lined and staggered distributions) for two distribution angles 60o and 90o , and two dimple diameters(4 mm and 6 mm) with constant pitch ratio (X/d=8). In experimental part, a staggered arrangement dimpled inner tube distribution with angle 60o , dimple diameter of 6 mm and constant pitch ratio (X/d=8)is used as well as plain tube. The results illustrate that the heat transfer as Nusselt More >

Abstract Towards the end to solve the problem of temperature rise in the power battery of electric vehicles, a method based on the coupling of electrochemical, thermal and hydrodynamic aspects is implemented. The method relies on the COMSOL Multiphysics software, which is used here to simulate the thermal behaviour, the related fluid-dynamics and the life attenuation of the power battery. A 3D battery model is built assuming a cylindrical geometry. The diameter of the battery is 18 mm, and its length is 65 mm. The battery charges and discharges at 3C, and the initial temperature is 25°C. Intake More >

Abstract The present study deals with the assessment of different turbulence models for heated wall jet flow. The velocity field and thermal characteristics for isothermal and uniform heat flux surfaces in the presence of wall jet flow have been predicted using different turbulence models and the results are compared against the experimental data of Wygnanski et al. (1992), Schneider and Goldstein (1994), and AbdulNour et al. (2000). Thirteen different turbulence models are considered for validation, which include the Standard k-ε (SKE), Realizable k-ε (RKE), shear stress transport (SST), Sarkar & So (SSA), v ² -f, Reynolds stress… More >
