Natural convection in an enclosure is a classical problem in heat transfer field. In this study, natural convection induced by the heat source in the enclosure is studied with two analysis methods, i. e. CFD and artificial neural networks (ANN). The heat transfer in the enclosure is an unsteady process. During this process, the temperature fields in the enclosure are changing with time. The vertical temperature field of y = 0 at one moment is picked up for investigation. Firstly, FLUENT software which is a simulation program of CFD is adopted to simulate the temperature fields under different

It was the product of the continued existence of two traditional political institutions: the senate in the city of Rome and the local city councils in the rest of Italy. Under single rule, the position of both institutions was increasingly weakened and they became part of a much wider institutional landscape. Nevertheless

The second reason why the study of empire matters to IR is that much of the conventional distinction between hierarchy and anarchy has been subject to various criticisms from a wide array of methodological and political perspectives.

Abstract:
In this chapter, we wish to exploit the availability of the bracket formalism in the description of complex, non-conventional transport phenomena. In the first section, §10.1, we analyze relaxational phenomena in heat and mass transfer. The next section, §10.2, includes the description of phase transitions in inhomogeneous media. The last section, §10.3, contains a first effort to describe inertial effects in viscoelasticity. These problems have rarely been considered in the past, and when they have it has always been from a phenomenological perspective. We explore the availability of the bracket formalism here to provide a more systematic basis for these systems than has heretofore been available, and hence we characterize the models in this chapter as semi-phenomenological. The basic approach that we use is to first establish an appropriate internal variable for the system in consideration, and then to divine an appropriate Hamil-tonian which does, in some limits, produce available phenomenological models. (The latter step indicates why we characterize the models deve-loped in this chapter as “semi-phenomenological.”) As we shall see, describing the models on this more fundamental basis clears up a number of inconsistencies, as well as extending their range of validity without unduly sacrificing their simplicity. In most engineering applications of heat and mass transfer, the simple linear constitutive relations of (6.4-12) are adequate in order to describe the respective transport processes. A couple of very simple examples are the heat flux, when the affinity is the temperature gradient (giving Fourier's law of heat conduction), and the mass diffusion flux, when the affinity is the chemical potential (giving Pick's law of mass diffusion). The importance of such relationships in engineering practice cannot be overestimated. The validity of the linearized equations is generally established by steady-state experiments, so the question that naturally arises is whether or not the same constitutive relationship will hold for transient phenomena. This question cannot be answered as long as only steady-state experiments are performed. From physical considerations alone, it is obvious that the linearized constitutive relationships cannot be complete, in and of themselves.

We already know that the ocean is at a crisis point. For the last twenty years and more, scientific report after report has flagged the increasing decline of ocean biodiversity and the damaging impacts of human activities – including over-extraction of resources and pollution, by plastic, of course, but overwhelmingly by anthropogenic climate change. It is only by allowing wildness to return – allowing natural ecosystems to return and heal themselves can we save the planet from ourselves. There are already two complex legal regimes governing both the ocean and climate change: the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) and the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). However, it appears, “the Law of the Sea and the Climate Change regimes are two of the giants of the international law treaty arena, yet … they appear like ships that pass in the night.” How do we move forward on saving the blue half of our endangered planet?

Abstract:
The natural history of untreated severe aortic valve stenosis (AS), with an average survival of 3 years after the onset of angina or syncope and only 1½ years after onset of heart failure, strongly suggests early surgical therapy which represents the only curative option. Since the first pioneering work in the early 1960s, conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) has become a routine procedure performed more than 200,000 times annually worldwide. The surgical technique of AVR has evolved to a highly standardized procedure resulting in excellent outcome and patient safety. Transcatheter techniques have emerged in the last decade allowing for valve implantation with avoidance of important complications of major surgery particularly in high-risk patients. However, potential drawbacks and procedure-related complications remain important. The techniques and technologies continue to emerge and improve. Conventional surgery, valve substitutes, and transcatheter technologies are discussed in this chapter.

Abstract:
The nature of manufacturing systems faces increasingly complex dynamics to meet the demand for high quality products efficiently. One area, which experienced rapid development in terms not only of promising results but also of usability, is machine learning. New developments in certain domains such as mathematics, computer science, and the availability of easy-to-use tools, often freely available, offer great potential to transform the non-traditional machining domain and its understanding of the increase in manufacturing data. However, the field is very broad and even confusing, which presents a challenge and a barrier that hinders wide application. Here, this chapter helps to present an overview of the available machine learning techniques for improving the non-traditional machining process area. It provides a basis for the subsequent argument that the machine learning is a suitable tool for manufacturers to face these challenges head-on in non-traditional machining processes.

Abstract:
The present work shows a study developed of the thermal and hydrodynamic behaviors present in microchannel heat sinks formed by non-conventional arrangements. These arrangements are based on patterns that nature presents. There are two postulates that model natural forms in a mathematical way: the Allometric Law and the Biomimetic Tendency. Both theories have been applied in the last few years in different fields of science and technology. Using both theories, six models were analyzed (there are three cases proposed and both theories are applied to each case). Microchannel heat sinks with spli

Abstract:
Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs) are used in many thermal management applications, especially for micro-electronics cooling, because of their ability to passively transport thermal energy from a source to a sink. This paper describes the development of a parametric model for a non-conventional LHP operating in steady state, employed to cool Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This device is comprised of a flat evaporator, and a finned circular loop wherein condensation and sub-cooling of the working fluid takes place. Unlike a conventional LHP, this device has no compensation chamber. In the mesh screen of th

Abstract:
Natural graphite heat spreaders are in use in electronic cooling applications where heat flux density is low. Natural graphite is an anisotropic material, with a high thermal conductivity in the plane of the spreader combined with a much lower thermal conductivity through its thickness. This low through-thickness thermal conductivity poses a problem when attempting to cool heat sources with relatively high heat flux densities. This problem can be overcome by embedding a thermal via in the graphite material. This via is made from an isotropic material with a thermal conductivity significantly h

Abstract:
A concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) module, which mainly consists of optical concentrator or collector, solar cell, cooling system, can produce electricity from sunlight at a lower cost than conventional photovoltaic system by the replacement of expensive photovoltaic area with less expensive concentrating mirrors or lenses. However, concentration of sunlight onto photovoltaic cells causes the cell temperature to rise unless the heat is efficiently dissipated to the environment. Therefore, a cooling system is an essential part to prevent both short-term and long-term degradation of the CPV modu

Abstract:
A natural gas engine-driven heat pump was outfitted with a graphite foam radiator to demonstrate its thermal efficiency and compare it with that of a conventional radiator. A sequence of tests was performed with the graphite foam radiator operating in series with the standard aluminum radiator. Most aluminum air-to-water radiators exhibit an overall heat transfer coefficient up to 100 W/(m2·K). Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that a graphite foam radiator can achieve an overall heat transfer coefficient up to an order of magnitude larger. The mesophase pitch derived graphite foam is a

Abstract:
The ability to fabricate networks of micro-channels that obey the biological properties of bifurcating structures found in nature suggests that it is possible to construct artificial vasculatures or bronchial structures. These devices could aid in the desirable objective of eliminating many forms of animal testing. In addition, the ability to precisely control hydraulic conductance could allow designers to create specific concentration gradients that would allow biologists to correlate the behavior of cells. In 1926, Murray found that there was an optimum branching ratio between the diameters
