Bubble enhanced heat transfer from a vertical heated surface
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)A rising bubble in a liquid can greatly enhance heat transfer from heated surfaces by acting like a bluff body, displacing fluid as it moves and via the wake generated by the bubble, increasing the mixing of the liquid. ... -
Heat transfer characteristics of swirling impinging jets
(ASME, 2009)Impinging jets are used in a wide number of industrial cooling applications due to their high heat and mass transfer abilities. The current research is concerned with the effect of swirl on the heat transfer characteristics ... -
Loss of trabeculae by mechano-biological means may explain rapid bone loss in osteoporosis.
(2008)Osteoporosis is characterized by rapid and irreversible loss of trabecular bone tissue leading to increased bone fragility. In this study, we hypothesize two causes for rapid loss of bone trabeculae; firstly, the perforation ...
