...S. Saravanan; T. Sivakumar A comprehensive investigation is made to understand the effect of harmonic vibration on the onset of convection in a horizontal anisotropic porous layer heated either from below or from above. The layer is subject to vertical mechanical vibrations of arbitrary amplitude...

...S. Govender We consider vibration effects on the classical Rayleigh–Be’nard problem and the classical Vadasz (1994, “Stability of Free Convection in a Narrow Porous Layer Subject to Rotation,” Int. Commun. Heat Mass Transfer, 21, pp. 881–890 ) problem, which includes rotation of a vertical porous...

... - and y -direction) thermal conductivities were calculated. The simulation finite size effect, gold substrate thickness effect, temperature effect, normal pressure effect, molecule chain length effect, and molecule coverage effect on thermal conductivity/conductance were studied. Vibration power spectra...

...Mark Kimber; Suresh V. Garimella Piezoelectric fans are vibrating cantilevers actuated by a piezoelectric material and can provide heat transfer enhancement while consuming little power. Past research has focused on feasibility and performance characterization of a single fan, while arrays...

... at resonance, large oscillations at the cantilever tip cause fluid motion, which in turn results in improved heat transfer rates. In this study, the local heat transfer coefficients induced by piezoelectric fans are determined experimentally for a fan vibrating close to an electrically heated stainless steel...

...Murat K. Aktas; Bakhtier Farouk; Yiqiang Lin Thermal convection in a differentially heated shallow enclosure due to acoustic excitations induced by the vibration of a vertical side wall is investigated numerically. The fully compressible form of the Navier-Stokes equations is considered...

...K. D. Murphy; T. A. Lambert,, Jr. This is an experimental investigation of the effects of forced transverse vibrations on the local heat transfer characteristics of a heated, pinned-pinned beam. In particular, the response of a cylindrical beam near its first two natural frequencies, corresponding...
