M. Akbari, A. Behzadmehr

This paper seeks to show the effect of using nanofluid on mixed convection heat transfer in a horizontal tube.

Lattice Boltzmann method simulation gas slip flow in long microtubes

Haibo Huang, T.S. Lee, C. Shu

This paper aims to examine how using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) aids the study of the isothermal‐gas flow with slight rarefaction in long microtubes.

Latent and sensible heat transfer in air‐cooling applications

G. Comini, S. Savino

Joint descriptions of both heat and mass transfer and thermodynamic aspects of air‐cooling applications cannot be easily found in the literature. Numerical analyses are a notable…
