    Abstract
    When a liquid drop impacts on a hot non-flat surface the curvature of the surface and its geometrical characteristics transmute the physical regimes and their boundary compared to a flat surface impact. The present experimental study is focused on water drop impingement on a mimetic solid semi-cylindrical convex hot surface, with a size equal to the drop. The thermal versus inertia map of generated regimes is obtained, while some well-known regimes associated with a flat surface are not observed for the present non-flat impacts. These include rebounding of the main drop and atomization which are common observed phenomena when the hot surface is flat. The maximum spreading of the droplet is... 

    Rebounding suppression of droplet impact on hot surfaces: Effect of surface temperature and concaveness

    Abstract
    When a droplet impinges on a hot surface it is crucial to increase the contact time or decrease the rebounding distance if the heat transfer between the droplet and the surface is important. This will be more sensitive when the temperature regime is above the Leidenfrost values. The focus of the present experimental study is on the maximum height of drop bouncing after impinging on flat and semi-cylindrical concave surfaces, in particular in terms of surface temperature. It is shown that the behavior of the lamella during the spreading to its maximum diameter has a considerable impact on the maximum height of the drop bouncing. For different impact Weber numbers the map of thermal versus...

    Effect of flow rate and electric field on electrospray diffusion flame of ethanol and butanol

    , Article Atomization and Sprays ; Volume 28, Issue 2 , 2018 , Pages 161-178 ; 10445110 (ISSN) Jowkar, S ; Morad, M. R ; Ghorbani, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    2018
    Abstract
    Diffusion flame from electrospray of liquid ethanol and butanol was investigated experimentally. Stable flames were observed at two distinct modes recognized at different flow rates, applied voltages, and distances between the nozzle and counter electrode. The first mode occurred at minimum voltages in which individual larger droplets are dominantly generated. The second mode at higher voltages corresponds to multijets, which produce finer distribution of droplets. Using flame-imaging anal- ysis, flammability margins are introduced and flame lengths are measured versus nondimensional parameters for both fuels and modes of spraying. The fluctuation of the flames is characterized and the... 

    Heat transfer characteristics of high flow rate electrospray and droplet cooling

    Elsevier Ltd  2019
    Abstract
    Electrospray cooling is experimentally examined for high volumetric flow rates (80 mL/h) stabilized by a novel hemispherical nozzle. Stability of the Taylor cone-jet mode of this nozzle is increased by interaction of the discharging liquid with the outer wall of a hemispherical cap, installed at the tip of a simple nozzle. The liquid can then be discharged at high flow rates at the same mode. The liquid is ethanol and the test surface temperature as well as the cooling heat flux are measured. The results of the surface temperature, the heat flux and the heat transfer coefficient are compared between the three cases. The first and main case is the electrospray using the novel hemispherical... 

    The effect of liquid properties on heat transfer and evaporation characteristics of the liquid films formed by unsteady spray-wall impacts

    , Article Atomization and Sprays ; Volume 33, Issue 10 , 2023 , Pages 39-64 ; 10445110 (ISSN) Jowkar, S ; Shen, X ; Morad, M. R ; Zeraatkardevin, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    For intermittent spray-cooling purpose, it is essential to study the unsteady aspects of film evaporation and heat-transfer characteristics. In the present study, total evaporation time and surface temperature variations are investigated for four different liquid films (water, ethanol, n-octane, and n-hexane). The evaporation process is analyzed using a three-dimensional spray-wall impact with Lagrangian wall-film model. The evaporation process occurs in three stages; at the initial moments, most of the heat is used to raise the film temperature, and slight evaporation also exists. The film temperature rises until it reaches the liquid saturation point to evaporate at a constant rate. In the...

    Elsevier Ltd  2023
    Abstract
    Liquid cooling is an efficient way of thermal management for high CPV cells, increasing the system performance by reducing cell's temperature. Thermal management complexity rises upon using an array of cells while the system becomes sizeable. The present numerical simulations follow a single cell study to investigate spray cooling for high CPV arrays with minimum number of injecting nozzles. The idea is to cool the cells by the liquid film formed on the thermal paste surface. Cooling the whole surface by the help of the liquid film decreases the number of nozzles to less than the number of cells. Both mass flow rate and pumping power are reduced, improving the system efficiency and lowering...

    Abstract
    High concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) systems receive concentrated solar irradiation and operate at higher temperatures. It is challenging to control the cell temperature in a permittable range preventing overall performance destruction. In the present study, a comprehensive 3D numerical solution is performed to simulate spray cooling on a multijunction HCPV. The effective parameters are categorized as the distance from the nozzle to the surface, the thickness of the thermal paste, and the spray mass flow rate. The results indicate that the spray cooling method reduces the cell temperature below the allowable operating range (353 K). Increasing the distance from the nozzle to the surface...

    Background: The cooling system is one of the important parts of new devices such as smartphones, servers, and other electrical devices. By employing the almost all heat transfer methods such as conduction, evaporation and condensation, heat pipes are the best choice to increase the heat transfer. The thermal conductivity of heat pipe is much higher than fins because they benefit from condensation and evaporation simultaneously. Methods: This study tries to present relative thermal conductivity base on temperature and length of a heat pipe in optimized geometry. To achieve this aim, unsteady, multiphase fluid was considered inside the heat pipe. Evaporation, condensation, and conduction were...

    Abstract
    In this study the authors present an in-depth study, analysis and discussion on maximum likelihood (ML)-based receiver for a typical spectrally encoded spread-time CDMA in the presence of multiple narrowband interference (NBI) signals in an additive white Gaussian noise channel. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that by combining useful properties of ML-based receiver and three-level codes, that is, codes with values of -1, 0, +1, the authors can introduce a new strategy in which superior performance with respect to previous receiver structure based on two-level codes, that is, codes with values of -1, +1, can be attained. With the help of an example, the authors drive, first, the... 

    Investigation of Multiphase Flow in Oil Wells (with Focus on Two Phase Flow), Flow Pattern Recognition and Modeling

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Shams, Reza (Author) ; Shad, Saeed (Supervisor) ; Jamshidi, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The concurrent flow of oil and water is a common occurrence in the field of multiphase flow in different fields including petroleum industry. In oil and gas, production engineers often face a situation in which more than one phase is flowing through the producers. In such conditions an accurate assessment of pressure loss inside the well plays a vital role in efficient and effective production planning. Changes in well orientation, wellbore diameter, reservoir and fluid properties as well as fluid flow rates are among parameters in which will affect the flow patterns that can occur inside a well during its life time. These flow patterns are created as a result of a competition between... 

    Casing Design Optimization Considering Drilling and Production Conditions

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Sadeghi, Mahdi (Author) ; Jamshidi, Saeed (Supervisor) ; Shad, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Casing design is one of the most expensive parts in the drilling of oil wells, and any cost reduction with the basic design of these casing strings will significantly reduce the total cost of the operation. In recent years, occurring scenarios-based casing design has become popular; Because in many cases, it eliminates non-occurring scenarios such as gas kick and saves on drilling costs. In this study, we have tried to investigate all scenarios that may occur during the lifetime of the well, whether drilling or production, and for each well, based on its own field information, possible scenarios for each casing part are selected separately and the applying loads are calculated. For this... 

    Predicting the effects of environmental parameters on the spatio-temporal distribution of the droplets carrying coronavirus in public transport – A machine learning approach

    , Article Chemical Engineering Journal ; Volume 430 , 2022 ; 13858947 (ISSN) Mesgarpour, M ; Najm Abad, J. M ; Alizadeh, R ; Wongwises, S ; Doranehgard, M. H ; Jowkar, S ; Karimi, N ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Human-generated droplets constitute the main route for the transmission of coronavirus. However, the details of such transmission in enclosed environments are yet to be understood. This is because geometrical and environmental parameters can immensely complicate the problem and turn the conventional analyses inefficient. As a remedy, this work develops a predictive tool based on computational fluid dynamics and machine learning to examine the distribution of sneezing droplets in realistic configurations. The time-dependent effects of environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity and ventilation rate, upon the droplets with diameters between 1 and 250μm are investigated inside a... 

    PRI (Palm Rotation Indicator): a metric for postural stability in dynamic nonprehensile manipulation [electronic resource]

    , Article Journal of MECHANIKA ; 2012, Vol. 18, No. 4, pp. 461-466 Beigzadeh, B. (Borhan) ; Meghdar, Ali ; Sohrabpour, Saeed ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    In this study, we discuss the postural stability of a nonprehensile manipulation problem, which deals with multibody objects. As a metric for postural stability, we define PRI. Then, the system is posturally stable, if PRI is inside the convex hull of the object-manipulator contact surface. We then discuss that dynamic biped locomotion is a special case of dynamic nonprehensile manipulation in all aspects; we prove that ZMP (zero-moment point) and FRI (zoot rotation indicator) are special cases of PRI (palm rotation indicator). Simulations and experiments corresponding to simple examples support the results
