A fiber optic sensor is developed in order to measure film thickness along a curved surface. The technique is non-inva sive, which has large bandwidth and good spatial resolution (150 μ m and 300 μ m). A “ finger ” type surface is used on top of which liquid…

Coupled natural convection and surface radiation within a square cavity, filled with air and submitted to discrete heating and cooling from all its walls, is studied numerically. The thermally active elements are centrally located on the walls of the cavity.…

The objective of this paper is to investigate water supercooling. Supercooling occurs when a liquid does not freeze al though its temperature is below its freezing point. In general, supercooling is an unstable condition and occurs under special conditions. T…

In this paper the performance of a counter flow microchannel heat exchanger (CFMCHE) is numerically investigated with a nanofluid as a cooling medium. Two types of nanofluids are used Cu-water and Al2O3-water. From the results obtained it’s found that thermal…

In vortex motion fluid moves in curve path and the stream lines are curved. When the fluid flows between curved stream line, the centrifugal forces are setup which is counter balanced by pressure forces acting in the radial direction. The vortex motion has tw…

Thermal management of microelectronics demands higher heat flux removal capabilities due to the rapid increase in component and heat flux densities generated by integrated circuits (ICs). Electrospray evaporative cooling (ESEC) is a potential package-level th…

Authors submit their manuscript, metadata, and declarations through the portal. There is no submission fee.
The editorial office screens the manuscript for scope, completeness, and formatting before assigning a handling editor.
At least two independent reviewers evaluate the manuscript under single-blind review. Where revisions are required, authors respond point by point.
On acceptance the article processing charge is invoiced and the CC BY 4.0 copyright handover is signed.
The article is copyedited, typeset, and given a DOI, then publishes open access with a permanent link.
Manuscripts must be original and not under consideration elsewhere. Submit in Microsoft Word or LaTeX with figures at 300 dpi minimum. Structure research articles as Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and References.
