In order to obtain a deeper understanding of the regenerative cooling process of scramjet engines, in this paper, a numerical investigation on the supercritical convective heat transfer of n-decane in horizontal circular tubes was conducted, based on a complete set of conservation equations and...

Three-dimensional numerical studies were performed for latent heat storage (LHS) process of salt in a horizontal concentric tube to investigate the effects of liquid phase change material (PCM) natural convection on LHS performance. The results show that due to the effects of natural convection,...

In the last decade, no comprehensive numerical and experimental analyses have been performed to find the maximum possible power generation from a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPV/T) system by varying the flow rate of the fluid. This paper describes numerical and experimental studies of a...

On one hand, n-butanol as a potential alternative bio-fuel is accepted more and more attention presently in the fields of both scientific research and commercial market; on the other hand, some n-butanol's (or its mixtures blended with conventional fossil fuels) combustion properties, especially...
