DNS of heat transfer in a turbulent channel flow over fractal roughness

Convective heat transfer finds applications in several domains of industry like heat exchangers, gas turbine blades, IC engine surfaces etc. The surfaces of these heat transfer applications are either naturally rough owing to manufacturing techniques or become rough over a period of time during operation. These rough surfaces usually contain...

Heat Transfer of HVAC Cables Installed in Underground Pipes Buried in Layered Soil

HVAC cable is normally installed in a PE (Polyethylene) pipe underground. The pipe is placed in the underground path formed by horizontal directional drilling (HDD). During power transmission, the generated heat from the cable is dissipated by natural convection of water in the gap between cable and pipe. In this project, the first part focuses...
