Boundary layer flow through a porous medium over a stretching porous wall has seen solved with analytical solution. It has been considered two wall boundary conditions which are power-law distribution of either wall temperature or heat flux. These are general enough to cover the isothermal and isoflux cases. In addition to momentum, both first and second laws of thermodynamics analyses of the problem are investigated. The governing equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations. The transformed ordinary equations are solved analytically using homotopy analysis method. A comprehensive parametric study is presented, and it is shown that the rate of heat transfer increases with Reynolds number, Prandtl number, and suction to the surface.

Comprehensive Assessment of Laser Tube Bending Process by Response Surface Methodology

Mehdi Safari, Ricardo Alves de Sousa, Jalal Joudaki

Summary: In this study, the bending of mild steel tubes was investigated using a laser beam. The effects of six process parameters on the bending angles were examined. The results showed that increasing laser power, irradiation length, and number of irradiation passes, as well as reducing scanning speed and laser beam diameter, led to higher bending angles.

Frequency-domain stability methods for reset control systems

Ali Ahmadi Dastjerdi, Alessandro Astolfi, S. Hassan HosseinNia

Summary: Reset controllers have the potential to improve the performance of high-precision industrial motion systems. However, analyzing the stability of these controllers is complex and requires the parametric model of the system, which may limit their applicability. This paper proposes a frequency-domain approach to assess the stability properties of control systems with first and second-order reset elements. The proposed approach can also determine the uniformly bounded-input bounded-state (UBIBS) property for reset control systems when resetting to non-zero values. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of using frequency response measurements to assess the stability properties of reset control systems.

Summary: This article presents a closed-loop frequency analysis tool for reset control systems. It provides sufficient conditions for the existence of steady-state response and shows that the steady-state response for periodic inputs is periodic with the same period as the input. The framework presented in this article allows for the computation of steady-state response and defines a notion of closed-loop frequency response, including high order harmonics.

Band-Passing Nonlinearity in Reset Elements

Nima Karbasizadeh, Ali Ahmadi Dastjerdi, Niranjan Saikumar, S. Hassan HosseinNia

Summary: This article discusses the nonlinearity and effects of reset elements. Reset elements have less phase lag based on describing function (DF) analysis compared to their linear counterparts, but they produce higher-order harmonics. The article investigates the steady-state higher-order harmonics for reset elements with one resetting state and proposes an architecture and design method to band-pass the nonlinearity and its effects.

Adel Karimbakhshi Rostami, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: This study investigates the heat transfer in a shell and helically coiled finned tube heat exchanger with stepped annular fins for the first time. Using response surface methodology, correlations are proposed to predict the Nusselt number based on geometric and operating parameters. The results show that the parameters Re and Pr have the most impact on the Nusselt number.

Investigation of hybrid nanofluid SWCNT-MWCNT with the collocation method based on radial basis functions

Elham Tayari, Leila Torkzadeh, Davood Domiri Ganji, Kazem Nouri

Summary: This research investigates the non-Newtonian natural convection of a hybrid nanofluid consisting of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) based on methanol fluid between two parallel vertical plates. The collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBF) is used to solve the reduced ordinary differential equations. The results obtained using the RBF method are in good agreement with the numerical method, demonstrating the effectiveness of the RBF method. The velocity distribution and boundary layer thickness are influenced by the hybrid nanotubes volume fraction.

Performance of energy storage unit equipped with vase-shaped fins including nanoparticle enhanced paraffin

M. Sheikholeslami, M. Jafaryar

Summary: In current work, it has been suggested to invent new fins with vase-shaped to incorporate in the storage enclosure in order to decrease energy consumption. The combination of heat storage with the shape of a triplex tube and a parabolic solar unit enhances efficiency. The properties of paraffin were improved by dispersing SiO2 nanoparticles. Different proposed models were analyzed using the finite volume method to determine the best arrangement for maximum efficiency and minimum charging time.

Summary: The present study investigated the increase in heat transfer rate of a microchannel heatsink with high heat flux using topology structures and CNTs nanofluids. Four nature-inspired topology structures were compared with a straight microchannel heatsink. The spider netted model showed the highest heat transfer coefficient and pressure changes. The use of SWCNT-H2O nanofluid increased the heat transfer coefficient and pump power by 56.1% and 46.1% respectively at a Reynolds number of 550.

Numerical analysis on the impact of axial grooves on vortex cooling behavior in gas turbine blade's leading edge

Mehran Mohammadi, Khashayar Hosseinzadeh, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: This article presents a novel design of a vortex chamber with axial grooves for cooling the leading edge of turbine blades. The chamber generates a vortex through nine tangential inlets and includes an axial groove. The grooves enhance flow turbulence and increase heat transfer by disrupting the thermal boundary layer. Using a 3D model based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation, different turbulent models and experimental data were compared, with the Reynolds stress model (RSM) showing the highest accuracy. Various groove sizes, positions, and numbers were examined to study the vortex structure and heat transfer mechanism. The results revealed improved heat transfer in the chamber with grooves, especially with three grooves resulting in an average Nusselt number increase of over 4%. The pressure difference between chambers with and without grooves was not significant, but the highest friction factor occurred in the case with three grooves.

Efficacy of porous foam on discharging of phase change material with inclusion of hybrid nanomaterial

M. Sheikholeslami

Summary: The influence of porous media on the solidification of water with hybrid nanoparticles has been simulated in this study. A tree-shaped fin and the impact of radiation were utilized to expedite the process. The hybrid nanomaterial consisted of a mixture of Al2O3 and CuO with a volume fraction of 0.01 for each powder type, making the homogeneous mixture approximation logical. A wiremesh packed approach was used to model the porous foam, and the impact of porosity on the freezing process was analyzed. The temperature equation, including two source terms for radiation and phase changing, was considered, and the Galerkin method was implemented for solving the equations.

Computational assessment of venous anastomosis angles and graft configurations in arteriovenous graft

M. H. Pahlavanian, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: Arterio-venous grafts (AVGs) are commonly used for long-term vascular access in hemodialysis. Intimal hyperplasia (IH) caused by unfavorable hemodynamic conditions is the main reason for AVG failure. This study utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to assess the impact of different geometrical designs on the hemodynamic conditions at the venous anastomosis. The results show that optimizing the anastomosis angle and introducing cross-sectional ridges in the graft can significantly reduce the risk of IH development.
