In this work we examine the phenomenon of laminar-turbulent transition in a heated rectangular channel under high heat fluxes and water as a working fluid. We use an experimental device that allows the electric heating of ...

A two dimensional numerical investigation of the unsteady laminar flow pattern and forced convective heat transfer in a channel with a built-in rectangular cylinder is presented. The channel in the entrance region has a ...

Turbulent ows past lateral cavities in rivers and open channels play an impor- tant role in many environmental and geophysical applications. Large-scale coherent structures produced in the cavity are the most important ...

This paper deals with flow electrification phenomenon of liquids in channels of rectangular cross section. Different theoretical models are described and compared. For all the models, it is assumed that the flow and the ...

Voltage-dependent Ca++-activated K+ channels from rat skeletal muscle were reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers, and the kinetics of block of single channels by Ba++ were studied. The Ba++ association rate varies ...

Surrogate-based optimization is employed to maximize the thermo-hydraulic performance of a solar air heater duct with non-periodic rows of rectangular winglet pairs mounted in the absorber plate. The present optimization ...
