In this article, the simultaneous convection-radiation heat transfer through a moving fin with heat generation is studied. The heat transfer coefficient, thermal conductivity and heat generation are variable and supposed to be temperature dependent. The heat transfer in fin with longitudinal rectangular profile was carried out by using the Differential Transformation Method (DTM). The results indicated that the fin tip temperature increases with an increase in the heat generation gradient and a decrease in the Peclet number and the radiation-conduction parameter. Also, the optimal temperature distribution for a longitudinal rectangular fin is accomplished at stationary fin with heat generation-without radiation case. Furthermore, the limiting cases are obtained and found to be in good agreement with the numerical results. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Mehdi Safari, Seyed Mohammad Miralaa, Ricardo Alves de Sousa

Summary: This work experimentally studies the laser forming process of cylindrical surfaces. The effects of process parameters such as laser power, laser scanning scheme, and distance between irradiation lines on the radius of curvature of the laser-formed cylindrical surfaces are examined. The design of experiment (DOE) method based on the Box-Behnken algorithm is employed for investigations. Results indicate that increasing laser power decreases the radius of curvature of a laser-formed cylindrical surface. Additionally, the radius of curvature of the cylindrical surface increases with increasing scanning speed, while it decreases with increasing distance between irradiation lines.

Experimental study of two-phase flow patterns through an inclined rectangular channel with horizontal and vertically upward directions

Mahshid Vatani, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: This study conducted an experiment to identify the flow pattern and measure the void fraction of gas-liquid two-phase flow in an upward inclined channel. The experiment was carried out in a 30-meter channel with air and water as the fluid mixture. Three flow patterns were observed in the vertical section: slug, churn, or annular-mist flow. It was found that upstream impacts influenced the interactions and momentum transfer between the two phases, while downstream impacts determined the amount of backward flow caused by the formation of counter-current flow.

Payam Jalili, S. M. Sharif Mousavi, Bahram Jalili, Pooya Pasha, Davood Domiri Ganji

Summary: This paper investigates the thermal flow of an incompressible fluid, specifically focusing on non-Newtonian fluid flows with chemical reactions and heat sources. The study's application is fluid flow around a stretching sheet, which has relevance in polymer extrusion, drawing or plastic films, hot rolling, casting, and other engineering problems. The novelty of this paper lies in using a new and efficient semi-analytical approach, the Akbari-Ganji method (AGM), to solve the governing equations. The finite element method (FEM) is also applied for investigation, and the results show perfect agreement with previous research. Moreover, the results indicate that the Hartmann number and interaction parameters improve velocity profiles, and the fluid velocity decreases with an increase in the Hartmann number.

A. S. Hashemi, M. Heydari, G. B. Loghmani, D. D. Ganji

Summary: The article aims to solve the problem of mixed convection in a porous medium on the half-line by approximating multiple solutions using the quasilinearization method combined with the finite difference method.

The finite difference method is then applied at each iteration to find the approximate solutions. A beneficial scheme is presented to obtain appropriate initial guesses for computing both solutions. The convergence analysis is discussed in detail and numerical results are provided to validate the proposed iterative method.

Giulia Manco, Umberto Tesio, Elisa Guelpa, Vittorio Verda

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a growing interest in studying energy systems for the combined management of power vectors. Most of the published works focus on finding the optimal design and operations of Multi Energy Systems (MES). However, for newcomers to this field, understanding how to achieve the desired optimization details while controlling computational expenses can be challenging and time-consuming. This paper presents a novel approach to analyzing the existing literature on MES, with the aim of guiding practical development of MES optimization. Through the discussion of six case studies, the authors provide a mathematical formulation as a reference for building the model and emphasize the impact of different aspects on the problem nature and solver selection. In addition, the paper also discusses the different approaches used in the literature for incorporating thermal networks and storage in the optimization of multi-energy systems.
