Recent developments in cooling methods for portable electronic devices have heightened
the need for using the large latent heat capacity of phase change materials (PCM). The aim …

Heat sinks are widely adopted as heat transfer boosters for their role in promoting heat
transfer surface area. To enhance the thermal behaviour of heat sinks under forced …

This is a numerical study of convective heat transfer of the Water-Al 2 O 3 nanofluid in an
oval channel using two-phase mixture model. The channel is fitted with two rows of twisted …

Extended surfaces are commonly adopted as a thermal management technique for heat
transfer augmentation owing to their ability to facilitate an increment in the available surface …

Constructal theory is invoked to optimize a dendritic path flow structure for minimizing overall
flow and thermal resistances. Convective cooling of a ring-shaped body is the aim of this …

An analytical method is presented to evaluate the air flow rate required in an air-cooled heat
exchanger used in a propane pre-cooling cycle operating in an LNG (liquefied natural gas) …

A helm-shaped fin (HSF) with single and multiple internal heat sources (IHSs) are
investigated. Based on constructal theory, the volumes of the HSF and IHS are set as the …

The constructal design method is used in the present study to find the configuration of
longitudinally finned tubes cooled by forced convection. The finned tubes are arranged in …

Through constructal design, this study examines how the geometrical configuration of
channels embedded within an object in the presence of internal heat generation can be …

Highly conductive inserts improve heat removal from electronic components remarkably;
however, using these inserts is associated with a side effect: the mechanical strength …
