Aminian, Ehsan (author), Moghadasi, Hesam (author), Saffari, Hamid (author), Mirza Gheytaghi, Amir (author)Corrugating channel wall is considered to be an efficient procedure for achieving improved heat transfer. Further enhancement can be obtained through the utilization of nanofluids and porous media with high thermal conductivity. This paper presents the effect of geometrical parameters for the determination of an appropriate configuration....journal article 2020

Chakkingal, M. (author), Kenjeres, S. (author), Ataei Dadavi, I. (author), Tummers, M.J. (author), Kleijn, C.R. (author)We report numerical simulations of natural convection and conjugate heat transfer in a differentially heated cubical cavity packed with relatively large hydrogel beads (d/L=0.2) in a Simple Cubic Packing configuration. We study the influence of a spatially non-uniform, sinusoidally varying, wall temperature on the local flow and heat transfer...journal article 2020

Ebrahimi, Amin (author), Naranjani, Benyamin (author)In this study, a flat-plate channel configured with pyramidal protrusions are numerically analysed for the first time. Simulations of laminar single-phase fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics are developed using a finite-volume approach under steady-state condition. Pure water is selected as the coolant and its thermo-physical...journal article 2016
