This review article reports the influence of channel zone related geometrical parameters
such as corrugated channel and flow disruption (FD) on the hydrothermal performance (HP) …

Longitudinal vortices are more efficient for heat transfer enhancement than transverse
vortices. A survey is given on triangular and rectangular protrusions from a heat transfer …

Compact heat exchangers are characterized by high heat duties per unit volume and high
heat transfer coefficients. This implies small hydraulic diameters, low Reynolds numbers and …

In spiral-wound membrane modules, spacers are used to enhance wall shear stress and to
promote eddy mixing, thereby reducing wall concentration and fouling. Insights into the …

Insights into the effect of spacer filaments in membrane systems on the flow pattern were
obtained using a computational fluid dynamics code. The flow patterns were examined for a …

Experimental results, measured on a dimpled test surface placed on one wall of a channel,
are given for a ratio of air inlet stagnation temperature to surface temperature of …

Numerical investigation of laminar, transitional and chaotic flows in converging–diverging
channels are performed by direct numerical simulations in the Reynolds number range 10< …

We visualize unsteady temperature fields in the grooved channel with curved vanes using
holographic interferometry. The heat transfer performance of the investigated channel is …

The application of commercial and noncommercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
programs to systems relevant to electronics is reviewed. The following commercial programs …

An experimental study was conducted of incompressible, moderate Reynolds number flow
of air over heated rectangular blocks in a two-dimensional, horizontal channel. Holographic …
