Developing a Mathematical Model to Predict the Behavior of a Supersonic Superheated Steam Flow inside a Laval Nozzle

H. Rezaei; S. Ovaysi; M. Rahimi

Volume 17, Issue 2 , June 2020, , Pages 56-69

https://doi.org/10.22034/ijche.2020.253425.1354

Abstract
  The objective of the investigation was to mathematically correlate the behavior of a supersonic superheated steam flow inside a Laval nozzle, against the decision parameters. The decision parameters are the inlet temperature ranging from 374.3 K to 504.3 K and the inlet pressure from 40050.14 Pa to 133375.7 ...  Read More

Increasing flow capacity and reducing drag in microtubes using drag-reducing polymer

M.H. Akbari; M. Rahimi; H.R. Karami

Volume 17, Issue 2 , June 2020, , Pages 70-87

https://doi.org/10.22034/ijche.2020.245720.1346

Abstract
  Decreasing pressure losses in microtubes is an important subject, especially when increase in flow capacity is required. In the same pumping power, decreasing the pressure drops is coincides with increasing the fluid flow rate passing through a microtube. The current study aims to examine how the water ...  Read More

Cooling Enhancement of a Photovoltaic Panel Through Ferrofluid Stimulation Using a Magnetic-Wind Turbine

N. Heidari; M. Rahimi; N. Azimi

Volume 16, Issue 4 , October 2019, , Pages 35-52

https://doi.org/10.22034/ijche.2019.133030

Abstract
  Wind energy is used to rotate a magnetic turbine in order to remove heat from the surface of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. A three-bladed turbine, which rotates with wind energy, has rotational motion underneath the studied PV panel in order to move Magnetic Nano-Particles (MNPs). In addition, effects of ...  Read More
