Low velocity and shallow-depth flow fields often are a challenge to most velocity measuring instruments. In the framework of a research project on reservoir sedimentation, the influence of the reservoir geometry on sediment transport and deposition was stu ...
Experiments of flow boiling heat transfer were conducted in four horizontal flattened smooth copper tubes of two different heights of 2 and 3 mm. The equivalent diameters of the flattened tubes are 8.6, 7.17, 6.25, and 5.3 mm. The working fluids were R22 a ...
The present study presents new flow boiling heat transfer results of R-134a flowing inside a 13.84 mm internal diameter, smooth horizontal copper tube. The heat transfer measurements were made over a wide range of test conditions: saturation temperatures o ...
The reliable prediction of pressure drop in two-phase flow is an important prerequisite to accurate optimization of thermal systems. Because of the complexity of these types of flow, empirical or semiempirical relationships are only of limited reliability ...
The rapid development of micro-thermal technologies has conveyed an increasing interest on convective boiling in micro-channels. Although there is general agreement that these systems may be able to dissipate potentially very high heat fluxes per unit volu ...
The sawtooth control mechanism in plasmas employing off-axis toroidally propagating ion cyclotron resonance waves in tokamaks is reinvestigated. The radial drift excursion of energetic passing ions distributed asymmetrically in the velocity parallel to the ...

New saturated critical heat flux (CHF) data have been obtained experimentally in two different multi-microchannel heat sinks made in copper with three low pressure refrigerants (R134a, R236fa, R245fa). One of the test sections had 20 parallel rectangular c ...
Interplay between capillary, gravity and viscous forces in unsaturated fractures gives rise to a range of complex flow phenomena. Evidence of highly intermittent fluxes, preferential and sustainable flow pathways lead to potentially significant flow focusi ...
In this paper, we present a multi target particle filter DOA tracker that can incorporate road prior information at a single array node. The filter uses a batch of DON's to determine the state vector, based on an image template matching idea. The filter li ...
