New expressions to evaluate the thermal conduction parameters in fixed beds of monosized spheres are presented in this paper. The parameters are those introduced by the 2R2D model proposed by Asensio et al. (2014): the ...

A study was conducted to investigate the behavior of the 2-D temperature distributions in a straight fin with a quarter-circle profile through the powerful finite element method. The computed numerical 2-D temperatures ...

Heat transfer plays an important role in several applications of packed bed reactors with cocurrent downflow of liquid and gas (widely known as trickle-bed reactor – TBR). A literature survey shows that the amount of ...

Here we present two-phase flow nonlinear parameter estimation for HFC's flow through capillary tube-suction line heat exchangers, commonly used as expansion devices in small refrigeration systems. The simplifying assumptions ...

The objective of this work is to develop an improved model of the human thermal system. The features included are important to solve real problems: 3D heat conduction, the use of elliptical cylinders to adequately approximate ...

The use and the improvement of classical mathematical models for heat transfer in particulate systems can facilitate the industrial large-scale application of rotating drums as bioreactors for solid-state cultivation (SSC). ...
