In recent years, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has become an alternative and attractive approach to simulate numerous fluid flow problems. A colloidal mixture of nano-sized particles in a base liquid called nanofluid, which is the new generation of heat transfer fluid for various heat...

Recently, there is growing demand for alternative new heating technology, ohmic heating is an alternative and fast heating method has a large number of actual and potential application exits in food industry, water distillation, waste treatment, chemical processing etc. This paper presents a...

The subject of Magneto-hydrodynamic attracted the attention of many research workers in view of its applications to physics, medicine and engineering. The interest in these types of problems stems from the possibility of managing the thermal behaviour or to control the viscous property of the...

Diesel engine modeling draws the greater attention due to its higher efficiency as compared to spark ignition (SI) engine. Still it is very challenging job to model diesel engine due to its complex combustion phenomena. The focus of the present study is to review the different available model...

The performance characteristics of a solar heater and heat exchangers can be effectively improved by using artificial roughness in different forms, shapes and sizes. Artificial roughness is provided in the form of different geometries such as ribs, dimple shape roughness, wire mesh, baffles,...

An impressive amount of investigation has been devoted to enhancing overall thermal and hydrodynamic performance of microchannel heat sinks. The small size of microchannel heat sinks and their ability to dissipate heat generated by modern electronics makes them the first choice for the...

Nanofluids are considered to have great potential for heat transfer enhancement and are highly suited to application in practical heat transfer processes. Recently, several important studies were carried out to understand and explain the causes of the enhancement or control of heat transfer...

Extensive research work on heat transfer in heat pipe using conventional working fluids has been carried out over the past decade. Heat transfer in heat pipes using suspensions of nano meter–sized solid particles in base liquids have been investigated in recent years by various researchers...

The use of latent heat storage, microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs), is one of the most efficient ways of storing thermal energy and it has received a growing attention in the past decade. However, there is no complete overview of its utilization in thermal energy storage systems,...

This paper discusses physical process of thermal transfer in energy pile foundations, which function as structural support for the buildings as well as heat exchangers serving energy to the buildings. Derivation of conservation of energy balance is presented, depends on its type of heat transfer...
