In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the regenerative cooling process of scramjet engines, in this paper, a numerical investigation on the supercritical convective heat transfer of n-decane in horizontal circular tubes was conducted, based on a complete set of conservation equations and...

In the last decade, no comprehensive numerical and experimental analyses have been performed to find the maximum possible power generation from a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPV/T) system by varying the flow rate of the fluid. This paper describes numerical and experimental studies of a...

Three-dimensional numerical studies were performed for latent heat storage (LHS) process of salt in a horizontal concentric tube to investigate the effects of liquid phase change material (PCM) natural convection on LHS performance. The results show that due to the effects of natural convection,...

On one hand, n-butanol as a potential alternative bio-fuel is accepted more and more attention presently in the fields of both scientific research and commercial market; on the other hand, some n-butanol's (or its mixtures blended with conventional fossil fuels) combustion properties, especially...

<p>The  robust version of the classical  instrumental variables, called Instrumental Weighted Variables (IWV) and the conditions for its consistency and $\sqrt{n}$-consistency  are recalled. The reasons  why the classical instrumental variables as well as  IWV were introduced and the idea of...</p>

In this study, an approach to modify and improve of CH4(methane)/air pre-mixed flame in a micro-stepped tube combustor is numerically studied. The effects of wire on flame in micro combustor are calculated using a high order, high accuracy 2D steady state code. The results show that the wire...
